1fifthavenue Posted August 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi all For anyone UK based or who can access Channel 5, there will be a new series of Cruising with Jane McDonald and one of the ships she will be touring is Meraviglia - apparently during one of the first few cruises https://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/news/news.cfm?ID=8035&et_cid=2983391&et_rid=189700907&et_referrer=Boards_WAR_CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted August 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks for the heads-up, Tim. I wonder if it'll be shown on week 3, following the sequence listed? That would make it being televised on 15th September. The officer on the far right in the picture is from Manchester. We met him in the smoking room one day and then around the ship afterwards. A really lovely chap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry_UK_editor Posted August 30, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi, Based on the information we've received from Channel 5, you're correct in that MSC Meraviglia will feature in episode 3 on Fri. 15th Sept. Enjoy the show and let us know what you think! Thanks, Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted August 30, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks, Kerry. I've put a note on my calendar to watch out for it. I can't set a reminder for Channel 5 on our Sky box - it's in the "Added Channels" area which can't be set or recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fifthavenue Posted August 30, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm looking forward to it, really enjoyed the first series. Went to see Jane live at the theatre earlier in the year, she puts on a wonderful show had the audience laughing and singing along at the end... although ~I cant help but think of the Victoria Wood parody!

Frankmac Posted August 30, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2017 What a shame I wont be able to see it, because on 15th I will be heading for Genoa for a two night stay, before boarding the Meraviglia on 17th. Ah well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll save it to watch when I'm in London :) Have you tried 'Tunnel Bear'. We're in Italy and use it occasionally when there is something on in the UK that we really want to see. We don't use it too often though otherwise our internet speed gets throttled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted September 4, 2017 #18 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Watched the first episode yesterday and really enjoyed it, got to see more of the ship than in the last series. Looking forward to seeing the Meraviglia episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing the Meraviglia episode. Still, it was a lot more about Jane than the ship - lovely and funny and all that she is. I would have liked to have gotten more about the vibe onboard and whether there was any evening entertainment. I really didn't need to know about her heated rollers!

Thanks for the tip! I did manage to watch the first episode of both seasons online :halo: I wish it was more about the ship and less about the ports of call and herself. She is nice but tries to hard to be funny, in my humble opinion. 27 days to go Meraviglia :hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Marketing ploy by Viking obviously. Interesting to see which category of cabin she's in with MSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned to watch the episode anyway. I just checked to ensure I'd set a reminder - I hadn't! If you hadn't posted this, I may have forgotten about it - cheers!
