Thanks for watching. Las Palmas is an interesting port and you can just get off the ship and just walk around. The beach and promenade are nice we have not stayed at that hotel yet.

Haugesund is a nice place to walk around. The marching band did well to keep playing as the departure was delayed.

It is fascinating journey and very interesting. Panamax ships go through the old locks and New Panamax can go through the new locks. So bigger cruise ships can now transit. There is a RUclips video from "Fraser at Sea" explaining the difference. ruclips.net/video/bgVvv1ZAUcs/видео.html

Tenerife is a nice place to visit and we have stayed there many times in the winter. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is an interesting ports and you can just get off the ship and walk around.

It was amazing, it was the complete ship. The Mary Rose in Portsmouth is just half of the ship.

Norway is always the perfect place to cruise to. The the ports and places you can visit are amazing, and the sail into and out of the fjords are worth the journey.

It's a fascinating journey, a real highlight. I have another video of the rest of the transit, but it is nearly one hour and I think it is to long to post.

She was a small ship but we really enjoyed the cruise. Much preferred to today's floating apartment blocks. We were very lucky to cruise to so many ports then which are unavailable now.

La Palma is a lovely port and island to visit. We would love to discover the rest of the island sometime.

The North sea canal is a tight squeeze and the lock gates slide in and out. Amsterdam is another port you cannot sail into now.

Thanks for watching, its an amazing sail in. You feel you can touch the side of fjord as you sail in. Also Flam is a lovely place with a very peaceful walk to the waterfall.

Captain Kevin Oprey's noon announcement in the video at 8:34 states "strong winds force 10 gusting to force 11".

Thanks for watching, the lizards in the UK are tiny and I have never seen one here in the UK.

Thanks for watching, Funchal is a beautiful place to visit, I would love to stay there. But the airport Is notorious for its perilous winds. If the weather is too severe and the plane cannot land at Madeira Airport it often circles until it's safe to do so and some cases, the flights have to be canceled and redirected elsewhere.

I was the same on my first cruise, very seasick had to call the doctor for some magic injection then I was OK. Always take seasick tablets now.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 yes, I got that injection to, in my bottom I believe it was.

Braemar was a small ship but very nice. Fred Olsen sold the ship to Villa Vie Residences, who renamed her as Villa Vie Odyssey, refitting it into a residential cruise ship. But the ships world cruise has been delayed with rudders and gearbox problems, with passengers stranded in Belfast.

Thanks for watching, Costa Classica was very much Italian design over practicality. Small marble swimming pool with a huge marble waterfall, marble floored restaurants which made for high noise level dining, open metal stairways and no balcony cabins.

Century was just the right size and beats floating apartment blocks at sea anytime.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 I agree 100 percent. The late 90d and early 2000s was the cruise ship renaissance the best of the best built during that time.

@@OnboardwithJonathan I agree, I don't think you need a fun fair and water park taking up deck space to enjoy a cruise. Beside trying to get off and on with 7,600 fellow passengers as is the Icon of the Seas passenger capacity.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 do you have any more videos not published on century. She was my 1st cruise and holds a special place I my heart 💜

I have a 12 part video series of Celebrity Century Baltic Cruise 2005 to post in the next few weeks. @@OnboardwithJonathan

The scenery is amazing, you feel you could almost touch the side of the fjord.

We have been lucky to sail on some classic ships. We managed it in those days with a low season cruise and inside cabins on the lower decks, but we still had the experience of the ship the same as if we were in a suite.

Bonaire is a nice place to visit. I had to add the music track as it was very windy and copyright music was being played in the bars we passed. Oceana was first the Ocean Princess for Princess Cruises. She was sold to Seajets in 2020 and renamed Queen of the Oceans but is still laid up in Greece.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 Thank you for the information.

@@joanfreestone1707 It was a shame Oceana sold as she was just the right size.

That's a shame, QE is a nice ship but I always preferred QV even though they are almost the same type of ship.

Canberra was one of our first cruises and is still one of the most memorable.

We were so glad to be on a ship like the QM2 in a force 11 gale. I would not want to be on one of those floating apartment block ships in that storm.

It was great to sail from New York harbour in a classic ship.

We were so glad to be on a ship like the QM2 in a force 11 gale.

Lisbon is a great city to visit and the sail along the River Tagus is spectacular especially at sunrise. The bridge when built was called the Salazar Bridge, after the Portuguese ruler Salazar. But after the Revolution in 1974 the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 Thanks for the information.

Geiranger fjord is amazing the scenery is breath-taking.

Yes it went very quiet, felt like we where just drifting for a time. In a previous video - Cunard Queen Mary 2 Cruise 2011 Part 14 - you can see the large amounts of smoke as they powered up the turbines the night before we sailed from Quebec.

It's an amazing place you feel like you are in a theme park looking at the wealth.

She was beautiful classic ship. Sorry to see ships like her replaced by floating apartment blocks. It was also great to sail on her sister ship the Sagafjord. There is a series of videos on this channel of a Sagafjord Caribbean cruise in 1992.

Every port is getting very busy and even overcrowded as the ships become mega ships.

Bergen is a great place to visit even in the rain.

It's a special port to sail in, especially on a clear morning with the sun raising.

It has grown bigger as they use landfill to build more and more apartments and hotels.

You are right, Caronia feels like a real ship not a floating block of apartments.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 the only ship that still looks remotely like a ship these days is the QM2

A Greek ferry company Seajets bought her and she is now named Queen of the Oceans. She’s been laid up in Greece since 2020 and is up for sale.

Thanks for watching, It's always a great stay at the Ageas Bowl I would definitely recommend it and I use my Hilton Reward points. I have been following you epic New England and Canada adventures, great series.

The cruise was November/December1989. RCL where offering an included flights from the UK a night in a hotel in Miami, transfers and day room before the flight home it was a great deal.

Our first cruise was in 1980 on the original 1960 Oriana which sailed out of Australia between 1981 and 1986. From then on we were hooked on cruising.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 I've loved ships since that 1961 voyage on the Himalaya. I was 10 years old. It stays with you I think.

@@joanfreestone1707 I never wanted to go on a cruise, but after the first cruise I could not wait to go on another one.

Madeira and Tenerife in the Canary Islands are in the Atlantic off West Africa. So getting there can be a bit choppy on a winter cruise.

Seabourn cruises is all-inclusive and has a smaller number of passengers.

It was a great trip, we saw and did so much. It's amazing what you can do when younger. But we really needed the cruise after that.

The Albatross was a sister ship to the Fair Princess of P&O Australia, which cruised out of Australia from around 1997-2001. They were classic cruise ships built in the 1950s for the Cunard Line.

@@cruisevideomemories7439 Thanks for that. I like the style of those older ships.

@@joanfreestone1707 I like to keep the older ships that have been scrapped in my videos as it's nostalgic.

Thanks for watching, it was great trip. We flew back to UK from New York as we thought a round trip back to Southampton would be too long. But we wished we had sailed back as we enjoyed the voyage so much.

Thanks for watching, it was a very special cruise which we really enjoyed too. But this was the last video in the series. Next video series is P&O Arcadia to Norway.

It was an amazing ride to the top. One time we where in Madeira we went back down to the town on a 2km ride on the "Carros de cestos" wicker toboggans down steep and winding roads shared with cars and pedestrians!! "Celebrity Century Cruise 1999 Part 5 Funchal Madeira"

Again thanks for watching. Sanary sur Mer is a place I would like to move to, it is beautiful.
