I may be reading too much into the video, but is the final picture of the couple forming the letter A a clue? Mind you the rest of the fleet names end with an A. My money is with joeecco - Isla. The stick the girl on the beach is holding could be the L.

I thought the same but it looks like a Caribbean Island so my money is on Aruba 😁

I think he will be banned from UK and will retaliate.  Also they have the worst infection rate of Covid

No chance that he will be banned. He has friends in the highest circles of society, including the Queen and makes great contributions to the ‘sport of kings’ (which in the early days was war, not hunting or horse racing - take your pick).

There is two other Excel ships to be homeported there. Dubai and the gulf are becoming increasingly popular with families with the activities and shopping so I think it may well be an option. 

But Dubai is a nasty place. Full of ostentatious wealth, blonde Russian lady "companions",and an awful summer climate. Once you've been once, that's enough.  

And shopping in the equivalent of Bluewater is not a reason for cruising, imho.

And the alleged centre for “no questions” selling/buying for gold and gems.

There is serious money involved.

A good friend had a jewellery business in St Maarten. The hurricane struck and looters stole the store’s safe.  Moved to London’s Hatton Garden, established another strong business.  In Dubai for the last two years “trading” doing very well indeed.  Dubai is now the Head Office.  Negotiating to open a large high end jewellery store inside the new Jannah hotel.

Or the Far East. Expats were known as "filth" - Failed in London, try Hongkong.
