Thank you Pat, great comment 😀, always nice to hear feedback and know my vlogs are putting a smile on peoples faces. That itinerary looks fantastic, I’ve looked at that one in the past. It’s a great ship the Marella Explorer 2, we have also cruised on the Marella Voyager last year, but without doubt the Explorer 2 was our favourite ship. I’ve got the Marella Voyager vlogs to put up soon along with Virgin Voyages. 😀

Thank you guys, means a lot. 👍, we have just come back from a Virgin Voyages Cruise. We went on the Fjords cruise late June, think it was 29th June to about 6th July. Weather was not the best when we went unfortunately. We were advised go in July or August as the weather is much better, actually the weather was better in May, it’s like many other places you can’t always predict the weather, if we went again think we would go later in July, we would 100% recommend it, it was one of our best ever holidays, even though we had to bad weather days. I do like the sun two, we really like the sun ha ha 👍🛳️

Hi Malcolm, thank you very much for your comment, it’s really appreciated, thank you 👍🛳️😀, I’ve been working on the next Fjords vlog today. We have been away on our latest cruise and only got back so I’m a little behind. Hoping to get the next Fjords vlog up on Friday or Sunday. I’m excited to hear all about your cruise once you are back from it. You’re in for a fantastic time. Thank you once again for your support. 👍🛳️😀

It was a rookie error passing the pub, if we could go back in time! Next time we are there we know which pub to drop in. Thank you for the recommendation and nice comment. Always means a lot when people take the time to right a comment. 🛳️👍

Hi Paul, sorry for the delay in responding, we have just come back from our cruise with Virgin Voyages. You are certainly the 1000 subscriber, thank you very very much, it means a lot. I know use two cameras. The Insta x3 and the Insta Ace Pro, I found it difficult using the Insta x3 in certain situations and it gets a lot of attention which is different for me as I’m still actually very shy and feel very awkward in front of the camera talking. We really enjoyed the ME2. Have you got another cruise booked? 👍🛳️

Hi Peter, thank you for your comment and watching my vlog, have a great day. 👍🛳️😀

Thank you for watching my vlog and for the comment, lot more vlogs to come. 👍🛳️😀

Almost mate, reach 1000 while we were in Barcelona yesterday. On our Virgin Voyages cruise now. 👍🛳️😀

1k - woohoo!

Hi Fraser, thank you for your support and nice comment, we’ve been watching your vlogs for a while now, fantastic and very inspiring. Only 4 subscribers off now, it’s a dream come true to hit the 1000, a lot a hard work goes into it doesn’t it? Fjords cruise was amazing, can’t wait to do it again. Next cruise is Virgin Voyages. 👍😀🛳️

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore ahh, thanks for your support too! I totally agree - it’s a lot of work, but what a lovely way to look back at your travels!

Thank you for you excellent comment and nice words 👍🛳️❤️

Thank you very much indeed, not far off the 1000k subscribers, I’m so happy, it’s taken a lot of time and dedication. Thank you for the nice comment. 👍😀🛳️

Hi, I would highly recommend the cruise, it’s breathtaking. Wish the weather had been better on some of the days, we would love to go back one day. PS we watch your vlogs and love them, fantastic content. Thank you for watching my vlogs and your comment. 👍😀🛳️

Hi, thank you for your comment, dry grateful, hope you had a fantastic cruise. That’s what great about a cruise, you do the things you enjoy doing and miss the things you are not so keen on. We enjoyed the experience, this was this first time we have dressed up posh as a couple for 14 years, it’s not for everyone. There was lots of people places you could still drink and eat if you wanted a more casual affair. That’s why i love cruising. Thank you for watching my vlogs 👍😀🛳️

Not for everyone Most people love them Other cruise companies like Marrella ect on so fussed with dress code xx

@@pammackenzie8917 Yeh I get that people love them. It seemed to be a good split on my cruise and plenty of people dressed down. We've already booked a couple more cruises and will stay casual next time. Loved the holiday though. Northern Europe next then Canada.

Hi, thank you so much for the nice comment and watching my vlogs 👍😀, Blackpool the Caribbean of the North ☀️, will this be your first ever cruise? 🛳️

It will, really looking forward to it too xx

Hi Deborah, that’s fantastic, I’m so happy you had a fantastic time, it’s a great first cruise to do. How was the weather over there? We have got another P&O Cruise booked, something different this time. Our rib boat captain was called Seaman! Ha ha, he had a great sense of humour. Olden is spectacular isn’t it? 👍🛳️😀

Hi James, how are you doing? Thank you for the nice comment, really appreciate it. I’m a little behind and on posting the new vlogs, I’ve also got Lake Garda, Virgin Voyages Cruise and the Marella Caribbean Cruise to still upload. Not enough hours in the day. 👍🛳️😀

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore youre doing well mate, videos are great 👍🏼

Hi Steve… Me and my friend just got back from a week on Iona yesterday. Our first cruise and we loved Norway… Very beautiful. We did the coach tour in Olden…it was a lovely way to see things away from the ship and our guide was quite funny! His name was Jesus.😅

It was incredible, the vlogs don’t do it justice how beautiful it really it. You are going to have a fantastic time. We will definitely go back. Have a great cruise. Thank you for the nice comment and watching my vlogs, it means the world. 👍🛳️😀

Hi thank you for the positive and supportive comment, I’ve always loved taking photographs and filming. Well I would definitely recommend a Fjords with P&O on the Iona, you would love it. 👍🛳️😀

Hi, thank you for taking the time to watch my vlog and your nice comment. Love making the vlogs and helping people with tips. 👍🛳️

Hia love watching your vlogs, I find them really helpfull we're on iona on Saturday getting really excited now

Hi, so happy you are enjoying my vlogs, I’m still shy on camera and learning ha ha. Yes we were on a deluxe drinks package and it was well worth it for us, we are drink snobs and love nice good quality brands. The drink options are great, especially the wine selection. Well you have picked a perfect ship for your cruise, there’s so much to do and see, amazing restaurants, fantastic bars, great staff, you have definitely picked a great option, I think once you do your cruise your will be hooked. Thank you for your comment and watching my vlogs, I’m very grateful. 👍🛳️😀

👍

Thank you very much for the nice comment, next vlog is coming out on Friday fingers crossed. 👍😀🛳️

How did you get the drone on the cruise?

Hi Peter, hope you had a fantastic holiday and cruise with P&O Cruises?!, we loved Olden, we will definitely do the sky lift on our return to the Norway, they have some walking routes up there so we would like to spend a bit of time up there, the views look fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my vlog, hope your not missing your cruise and Norway to much. 👍😀🛳️

Very brave 👍🛳️😀

Thank you very much for the nice comment and watching my vlog, that’s fantastic to hear, I put a lot of time into this, part 2 is going to be up on Saturday maybe Friday, then part 3 the folks week. 👍😀🛳️

Hi thank you for your comments, really means a lot. We watch your vlogs and they are great and always help us. We actually think we were on the Marella Cruise in the Caribbean the same time as yourselves after watching your vlogs. We were there end of November and beginning of December 2023. I’ve still got to put up the vlogs, I’m way behind on my content. Also got Lake Garda, Italy 🇮🇹 to put up.

Hi Jay, I use the following equipment which are the Insta cameras below, I used to always use GoPro's, but now moved over to Insta, GoPro have not developed anything new in years and stood still, where Insta are move exciting with there new cameras, I love them, I'm still getting used to the cameras and my footage needs working on, each day I'm learning.

Hi all our holidays are paid for ourselves and we have not received a penny, we loved our cruise and it was one of our best holiday experiences 👍😀🛳️

Hi, plenty more vlogs to come for the P&O Ionia cruise, I’m currently working on our first port day in Stavanger, I was hoping to get this up at the weekend but unfortunately some things came up and I’ve been unable to work on for the last 4 days, hoping to have it going live Tuesday or Wednesday, thank you for watching the vlogs, it really does mean a lot. 👍😀🛳️

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore fab look forward to them 😊

Been working on the P&O Cruises Stavanger vlog today, going to be a 1 hour vlog again, it’s looking good 😂.

Hi, thank you for your nice comment, she is our favourite Marella Cruises ship, we loved Flutes and the Gin and Whisky Bar, lots of other great places and memories. I’m very happy you enjoyed my vlog, means the world to me. Have a great day. 👍😀🛳️

Thank you for you comment 👍

Hi, ha ha thank you for the great comment, I’m happy you are getting even more excited for your P&O Cruise after watching my vlogs! That’s what I like to hear, your in for a fantastic time, we are missing being on the P&O Iona, she’s a beauty. 👍😀🛳️

Ha ha thank you for your comment and watching my vlog, I’ve learned a valuable lesson, don’t drink to much at a silent disco, I now know not to sing or attempt to sing when wearing noise cancelling headphones! Ha ha 🤣

Thank you Carol for being my number and be fan, I will keep trying to get better, hope you are enjoying the vlogs. 👍😀🛳️

Hi Kathryn, thank you for your support and watching all my vlogs. It really does mean a lot. I know what you mean about the fish bowl effect, it’s not great, I was and still learning. On the P&O Cruises vlogs I’ve not used this effect. This effect comes from using my Insta 360x3 camera and I now only use that camera when on excursions. But when I do use it I’m altering the camera views so this should not happen anymore. On the two vlogs for P&O Cruises that have gone up there is no fish bowl effect used which is much better. Great feedback and you are 100% corrrct. 👍😀🛳️

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore you are doing a great job look forward to all your videos, because of you my husband and I have booked out first ever cruise on Marella explorer 2 in September from Dubrovnik. So thank you from two old codgers

Morning Karen, that’s put a big smile on my face, it’s a special moment when you do something that as an impact on someone’s actions, let’s just hope you enjoy your cruise ha ha. I know you will and once you have done your first ever cruise you will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner, it’s a magical moment stepping onto that cruise ship and it’s very difficult to contain that excitement and you will both have big smiles on your faces. The fish bowl effect as sailed away on its last cruise ha ha

Hi Wendy, bless you, thank you very much indeed. I was in two minds about posting the footage of the silent disco as I was very drunk and I was embarrassed after watching it, I was in tears of laughter after watching it, but then thought would just leave it, I feel I might get some nasty comments coming my way after the disco ha ha, I feel I’m coming out of my shell more, I’m still very shy in front of the camera. Thank you for watching my new vlog and your comment. Have a great day. 👍😀🛳️

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore It was good to see you having a good time, If you get any negative comments take notice they're nasty jealous people

Thank you Wendy, the video is a bit embarrassing and my singing is even worse ha ha, next time I’m taking it easy on the large glasses of red wine. If you get chance do the silent disco! Have a few drinks before hand to get into the spirit of it ha ha, thank you for your kind words! ❤️👍

Hi Paul, how you doing? Was great meeting you two on our P&O Cruise, always great meeting new people, we were blown away by your RUclips adventure, your doing incredible things and should be very proud of your success. Thank you for the comment and praise, I’m just at the very beginning of my RUclips journey and have lots to learn, one of them is not to get to tipsy at a silent disco! lol, I was not going to put up this part of the video as it’s embarrassing ha ha but then I think that would not be allowing people to see the good and the bad ha ha.

Thank you for your kind words. Keep going at it, it does take time and as you know a lot of work, but it will come. Yeh keep the silent disco part it’s fun and allows people to get to know the true you. I’m always taking the mick out of myself as people can relate to that and it shows us a normal humans. 🤣🤣 Stay in touch and I look forward to many more your adventures. Sending best wishes to you both 🙏

Your correct, showing our vulnerable sides the mistakes we make on camera and the embarrassing parts we don’t want others to see we make on camera ha ha, but your correct, it’s good we leave these parts in. At the beginning I would retake the footage until I got it correct, now I just leave them in, it’s who I am, not perfect in anyway shape or form. Looking forward to watching some of your RUclips adventures, I will definitely keep in touch. 👍😀🛳️

we went on a coach last time on iona we are also book for next year taking the coach again these give you more leg room and we traveled from stoke on Trent

Hi, thank you for your kind words, feedback and comment, I wish I had filmed more and talked more about the journey and booking the coach etc, I’m still learning and each vlog series will get better but it makes me so happy that people like what I’m already doing. We are booked in with another P&O cruise and getting the coach with them again and I will be providing even more information. Hope you have a fantastic cruise. 👍😀🛳️

Hi, thank you very much for that, I don’t mind at all, we’ll spotted, how did I miss that ha ha, I will get the updated lol, thank you for watching my blog, means a lot. 👍🛳️😀

We're booked on Iona. 14 more days to go. Love the video 😊

Thank you. Bet you can’t wait, I’m very jealous even though I’ve just been, it’s a fantastic ship and holiday, have a fantastic time. 👍😀🛳️

Thank you very much for your comment and positive feedback, what you see is what you get, we are not fancy, just a down to earth couple, we are still a little shy on camera, working on the others now, thank you for watching. 👍🛳️😀

Hi, thanks for watching the vlog, means a lot. It was our best ever cruise, loved every minute of it, even though the weather was not great on some days, amazing place. Olden and Stavanger were our favourite places. The ship is incredible so much to see, do, drink and eat. You are going to have a fantastic time. 😀👍🛳️

Hi, the only stops were Ljubljana then Lake Bled, two stop offs during the days excursion. Well worth doing it was a fantastic day. 👍😀🛳️

Hi James ha ha, did you enjoy the cruise? 👍😀🛳️

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore I went up a few trousers sizes ;)

Ha ha, we did two, we loved the food and the drinks, we are missing being on the P&O Iona, one of our best ever holidays. 👍😀🛳️

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore I do like Iona, but much prefer Britannia, but Oceana is the one I miss the most :( did you enjoy your food in the glass house, apart from the one sea food thing you were not keen on?

Fantastic video hope you both enjoyed we go on Iona on Saturday 27th to the fyords

Thank you Kallum for the comment, always great to hear your thoughts. I’m always looking at my vlogs and thinking they could be so much better. The weather will be nice in August. Have a fantastic day on your excursion. 👍😀

Thank you very much for the comment and the vote of confidence, means a lot, I watch your vlogs. You both come across very well. It’s taken 10 years to pluck up the courage to do this, wish I had started years ago, and once you start it you wonder why you were so scared, so many nice people in this circle who support you. 👍😀🛳️

Thank you very much, keep looking at my vlogs and wish I had done more filming, wish I had said more etc, but it’s a learning curve, these are my very first vlogs and each holiday they improved. Spit is beautiful, if it’s your first time you are in for a treat, so much to do and see, have a fantastic holiday. 👍✈️😀

Hi Michael, thank you for your nice comment and taking the time to share. Those are both very interesting facts, I might have to use these on my next cruise flog 👍, I didn’t even know there was a word to describe that fear of the number 13. Who send cruising can’t be educational, love a good fact. 👍😀🛳️

Hello I have seen a few videos on this ship and urs is fare the best well done. I have booked this ship for March 2026 Can not wait just hope the person I am taking don’t get sea sick will be picking up the ship from Spain Keep up the great work 🎉 J J

Thank you very much, it’s good to know, I’m improving my vlogs and learning each one I put up on RUclips. My partner suffers badly with sea sickness, one of the reasons it’s taken me 12 years to convince her. She went on her first one last last and loved it, and the biggest thing she never suffered any sea sickness! She wears sea bands if she does, also takes ginger tablets 4 weeks before the cruise and during the cruise, maximum strength ones, we also take ginger tea bags with us and we both have one in the cabin every morning. Anything ginger, ginger biscuits, ginger beer also helps. Green apples is also a good one. It’s amazing the difference it makes for her, even on rough days she is fine know, gone are the days where she would be feeling really sick on a boat or ship now, it’s incredible. Hope you have a fantastic cruise in 2026 and thank you for all your support, have a great day. 👍😀🛳️

Hi Wendy, thank you so much for you nice comment, I’m my worst critic and I keep saying how much better I wish my vlogs were, there’s lot of things I would change and improve on. But reading this comment makes me smile and know what I’m producing is helping others. Live that my vlogs brought back happy memories for you. 👍😀❤️🛳️

Hi Catherine, bless you, thank you for the nice message, it is our favourite Matella Cruises ship, I’ve working on the next vlogs for another Marella Cruise we have done. Hope you have a fantastic cruise and looking forward to hearing all about it. 👍🛳️😀

@@CruiseTravelAndExplore Thanks Steve. We have watched your blogs previously and enjoyed them. Keep doing what you do. 👍🏼

Thank you Catherine for your support, it really does mean the world to me, the vlogs will get better the more confident I get on camera and I’m learning everyday. It’s great to know you have watched some of my other vlogs 👍🛳️😀

Hi, thank you for you comment, so sorry it taken me time to get back to you with an answer 😀, the experience was fantastic. The walk around the cave is quite a long time, about 1 hour, it might even be almost two hours. You can take your time and go at your own pace or walk round quickly. You get a lot of time. You can walk around on your own, that’s what we did, then after the cave we went for a meal. You enter the cave as a group but once you are in the cave you can do your own thing. It is huge, it’s hard to put into words the shear size of the caves. It’s well worth doing. Hope you have a wonderful time l. 🛳️😀👍

Thank you so much. All booked for the caves and really looking forward to it. Really enjoying your vlogs. Keep up the good work. 👍

That’s fantastic and I bet you are very excited, I always like to help, I forgot to mention, take a hoodie, thin jacket or a cardigan when doing the caves, the temperature drops when you are inside, it gets cold, I stupidly forgot mine so I wrapped a towel around me! Ha ha. Thank you for your support and nice comments, it means the world to me. Have a wonderful experience. 👍😀🛳️
