This was a strangely absorbing potpourri of information! Where else but your channel might I look for such enlightening material and helpful comparison? You are clearly setting out to be different...and by my reckoning - succeeding! Very, very novel and well considered Michael.
Thx Johnnie. Just trying to be true to myself ;) Imagine things will evolve as I go...
Wide roads and cars destroyed American "old" cities. If only they were preserved.
Yes it's a shame when some of the heritage of a place is lost.
.

Hi Michael. It’s our first time cruising. We’re on the Azura from Valletta and flying in like yourself. How do you know which coach to go to etc? Sorry if it sounds dumb but I haven’t had much information on what to do when the flight lands from p and o
Hii Pete, There are lots of P&O staff on hand when you land at the airport. They will direct you to exactly where you need to go. Essentially though there is a small lorry that will take your case from you. Then you get on the first coach available. From my experience, there was no specific coach you just got on the first one available. Hope you have a fabulous time. Michael
@@michaelhortin ok Michael that’s great. Thanks for the help and quick reply, much appreciated.
Once again Michael, you take us "where angels fear to tread". A genuinely "gritty" adventure. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming escapades.
Thx, not sure on the gritty :) I was convinced police were after me!
@@michaelhortin Sand, gritty, sand! Sorry!
Ha ha....
What time did you get to the ship?
Hi. We landed at 6:15 and I got to the ship around an hour later. Michael
Thanks. I go soon and land at a similar time. Was hoping to make it for dinner in the MDR. Sounds like you didn’t.
@@Tel-zd5uu hope you have a great time. One thing to think about is food, I did sail away first and there was then not a lot left. So if you are hungry eat not long after boarding then enjoy sail away,,
Was the buffet for us which was not the best that late…
nice ❤❤❤❤❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Thx
Thanks
good luck with building the channel you seem a cool guy !
Thx for the support. it's a nice comment to come to after I have been editing a future video for the last few hours for the channel :)
very likeable personality and an amazing way to present your travels. It was like talking to a friend about their recent trips with a touch of documentary commentary. Cant wait to see you become a behemoth in the travel youtube space.
Hi Areeb, Thanks for your kind comment, and welcome to this community. I think you've summed up well where I am trying to take the channel. Genuine, fun and hopefully informative. Best Michael
Went there with school and it was amazing how every showed the utmost respect, as they should
Agreed. Been lucky to go a few times and I am always taken by how moving it is, even though it happens every day.
Done several fly-cruises with P&O out of Barbados, looks like the process is very similar with the Med cruises too. I’ll do doing my first fly-Med cruise this September so these videos have been very helpful.
Pleased they helped. I’m thinking of a cruise USA Caribbean way in the next year or so… have a great cruise in med. 😉👍
Wish i was you
😳
😊

Thx
Nice
Thx, it is a great take-off.
🚀Where to next?✈
Hi Johnnie, Heading to Fuerteventura next week on the channel for a season of videos. A lot more to it than sun.😉
@@michaelhortin Nothing wrong with a slice of sunshine, Michael! Enjoy. PS Let's hope that the large immigrant population in Malmö don't spoil Eurovision tonight!
i visite it last monday here you can see the cementery from the sky ruclips.net/video/o6x_i_P1HOw/видео.html
Hello sir...I just visited Dubrovnik today...your video is very informative ... I'm in Aurora working as the chef....do let me know wen u r in Aurora ..
Hi Nikhil, Pleased the video helped. I love Dubrovnik, amazing place. If I am on the Aurora I will give you a shout. Michael
Tack för minnena, Michael. I worked for a Swedish Group for 20+ years and travelled regularly from Copenhagen to Kristianstad, long before the Øresund crossing was completed. Do you remember when SAS had their own ferry service? Unfortunately for me, the county of Skåne will forever be associated with blood soup…agh! Once again a brilliant presentation!
I'm a bit biased but I love Malmo as my mum and her family are from there. I well remember the Dragor - Limhamn ferry. Then there was the passenger ferry you mention between Malmo and Copenhagen. the crossing really has changed things massively ...
That looked fun hope u had a great time
Hi Charlie, I had a great time in Cyprus, can recommend it if you have not been there. Michael
@@michaelhortinokay!
Congratulations, Michael Horta! What a comprehensive and enjoyable summary. You have done both yourself and the islands proud...and you are right about the views of Mount Pico from nearby Faial, they are almost unworldly. It's a shame that you didn't get to my own favourite island, Terceira. Another time perhaps. Muito Obrigado!
Hi Johnnie, Thx for your kind comments. Like you said, maybe Terceira another time…Michael
Not to be picky, but apples have ZERO vitamin C. Citrus fruits...oranges, limes, lemons, grapefruit have vitamin C.
Hi Anthony, Admittedly not a lot compared to oranges etc but they do have some. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture an - “Apple is also a good source of vitamin C, offering 9.2 milligrams, along with small amounts of other vitamins and minerals.” 🤷♂️
Nice review Michael, glad you got your right seat in the end, bus idling like that not good for your health or the environment!
Hi Rod, The bus engine running was odd, it wasn’t even like they were keeping AC going. Not that that would have been an excuse.. Michael
@@michaelhortin crazy, I guess fuel is cheaper there too, I've subscribed so will check out your other videos, cheers Michael
Thx Rod👍
Not fun at all. I remember one time a drunk man from an eastern european country sat next to me. He didn’t speak english, but picked on my shoulder for almost 2 hours, wanted to drink and chat. I pretended to sleep, it helped after a while, but what i nightmare.
@Trondtravels wow that sounds awful. A bad stranger next to you on a plane/train can be a nightmare.
Glad to have come across your channel as I’m Azura soon. I’ve been on a canaries cruise on her but first time to the med. Great to see a solo cabin for a change, how did you enjoy being a solo passenger?
I enjoyed myself on the cruise. I can really recommend Sindhu the Indian restaurant., but book as soon as you can when you get on board as places become limited. How was a canaries cruise?
...if wall paper paste was both a person and a video...
Each to their own
@@michaelhortin Gotta say through, my experience of boarder farce arriving in Hull has never been good. Leaving the ship to leaving the port has been in excess of two hours...
Thank you, I will visit the military museum on my next visit. I have walked by it only. I love seeing those that are not Portuguese explain the Island where I was born & seeing it through your eyes. Yes Jardin Antonio Borge is lovely & free.
Hi Filomena, I hope my videos do justice to where you were born. I loved my time on the island, and hope to go back at some stage in the future. Michael
You've rekindled my interest in the Azores. Never been though. Maybe this is the year for my first trip.
Hi Chris, I loved my time on the Azores it’s so beautiful. I am bringing out a video in a couple of weeks pulling together my whole experience on the islands which might help you decide. Michael
I was with you during your walkabout of Ponta Delgada, every single step, Michael! Thank you. My first visit to the island of São Miguel was over 60 years ago, and during my numerous visits to this and its sister islands, the thing that strikes me most is how little they have changed over the years...."the land that time forgot!" Brilliant footage, thanks again.
Thx Johnnie, as you will know Ponta Delgada is a very walkable town. 👌
If you get there about 2:30 and check in opens show your passort then they lead you towards the area where they search your car
Thx for the info 👍
Brilliant video, thank you! Been on Britannia and Arvia, first time on Azura in May - sent this video to my parents who will be joining us for their first ever cruise and were anxious to see what the ship looked like :)
Hi Sally, Thanks for your lovely comment. Hope you have a great time, where are you cruising?
@@michaelhortin Flying to malta, going around several places in Greece and stopping at one port in Italy, Croatia and Montenegro. Unfortunately, our itinerary changed we were meant to stop off at Dubrovnik and Hvar - these have been replaced with other locations. I guess it is an excuse to book another cruise!
@@sallyolivia37 that is a shame. Ours got changed to Olympia from southern Italy. But I loved Olympia. Have a great time 👌
Im going on there pride of rottendam this sunday in hull also its so funny you fell on the toe bar i hope your alright question what was the cabin number question 2 was it the pride of hull or rotterdam.
Hi, This journey was Pride of Hull. I came back on the Pride of Rotterdam, there is a separate video of this on the channel. Room number was 8196. Hope that helps. Have a fab trip.Michael
Was if the pride of rottendam or the pride of hull
Hi, This video is both as it is made up from both there and back, which was on either ship. :)
Literally a dizzying tour of Azura! Thank you. The biggest take away from this video, was your comment about the main dining room..."And, the food wasn't too bad!" This says it all these days, about Carnival's UK subsidiary! And as for the old girl, Azura? Well, all things considered, she is looking not too bad either! Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed my time on Azura, but I would say it is quite tired now and needs a refresh. Michael
Possibly, your best episode yet! Really enjoying your travels!
Thx Johnnie, the hotel was surreal but real fun to visit. The views were just amazing. Michael
Still enjoying your trip to the Azores, one of my favourite places on earth! If you enjoy steps; check out Steve Marsh, on his recent trip to Bratislava.
Such a beautiful place. Next week was one of my favourite places to go. I often have a look at Steve’s videos…👍
Only realised when I saw your face that you’re the BBC Lincs commentator for the Imps! Great video.
Thx for the feedback, love my travelling.
That is a single bed a queen size is a standard 5ft double
Thanks, wasn’t sure…
was the northsea rush im gonna go 2 months later
It was fine when I went. 👍
I used to walk my dog around the rout yard (where you started) and around the ruins every day when I lived in Old Bolingbroke. It is a beautiful village to wander round, the white building at the end is the local pub, but unfortunately this is very rarely open these days. If you turn right out of the gates from the castle the first building you will see on your right is an old watermill, with the wheel still in place. I loved it there, very peaceful, and very friendly people.
It is a real hidden gem, isn’t it?.? I also really like the church, definitely worth a visit to it when you’re there. Michael.
The church is kept open I believe for anyone to have a look around. The high ground you can see from there is Grantham Point, from up there you can see Norfolk.
I had big problems with SATA service, and they ended with them paying me a delay compensation.
Hi Peter, Maybe I was fortunate but the flights (bumpy landing aside) were fine. My only issue was trying to book window seats for the Pico - Sao Miguel flight, online was no help and ground staff help was confusing (at best). Michael
Nice report. I am picking up Azura from Malta in June. I have been on the Azura before but many years ago so your videos are very informative for me. Thanks!
No problem, hope you have a fab time. Michael 👍
was the stateroom nice?
Hi Josh, I was in a cabin on the same deck as the casino and Irish bar. It was ok, maybe a bit limited. I’d say it was best for a solo traveller. You can see my cabin at the tail end of this video. ruclips.net/video/g9DKPV3ftYg/видео.htmlsi=vQP7zD0Mfk8vff58 Hope this helps Michael
Would this entice potential visitors to Horta? Sadly and unfortunately, no!
Hi Johnnie, Thanks for your comment. Hopefully you’ve seen the comment from me on your message on the long form film. Michael
Enjoying your visit to the Azores, however, if I may suggest constructively... please, don't be in such a rush to jump straight into a hire car. Horta is a small but attractive town that merits more than showing just the briefest view of its harbour and the inside of a pub/restaurant! Perhaps next time you could walk us around, giving your subscribers a better flavour of the locale and environs ... only 12 minutes and 48 seconds of footage? Most of that was taken either at the two ferry ports or on the ferry journeys themselves. Editing issues perhaps...Hmm! Nonetheless, I am genuinely looking forward to your next adventure. Good Luck!
Hi Johnnie, Sorry for the slow reply. I am pleased you’re enjoying my videos from the Azores, and thanks for your feedback which I appreciate. I filmed Horta at the end of the day as I wanted to make sure I got around the island and back in time to get my ferry back to Pico. In an ideal world I probably should’ve spent more time on the island, but my travel schedule was quite tight all round. As for the length of content, I will take on board what you have to say. I try to balance things when I produce content between pleasing those who want to long viewing, between those who click away. I am also still relatively new to this so hopefully getting better at my filming, and editing. Compared to when I started with my USA videos, I do film a lot more B roll now. That was a big learning lesson curve when I started with this channel about how much I needed. Once again, thanks for your comment, and support. Best. Michael
@@michaelhortin Thanks for that Michael, I was genuinely trying to be constructive. I can't wait to see what you get up to next. Regards Johnnie
I stopped using P&O when they sacked all their British workers so they could hire cheap foreign labour, they are a vile company.
I get that. I had very limited time with my friend that weekend and it was the option that worked. Michael
Surprised you failed to eat something 😂😂😂
😳😂
Great video - looking forward to our first ever cruise in May from Malta .
Thank you. I have some other videos on a playlist from my time onboard on this channel. They include shore visits. Hope you have a Fab time. Michael
What time zone is breakfast served at ?
Hi, Breakfast service at the Kitchen was open until just before docking. I can’t remember which time the ferry took, but I’d recommend check with customer service when you get on board. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Michael
The cinema is at an extra charge.
Yes it is…
Loved this, thx for sharing mate.
No problem, thanks for your comment👍
