Thanks for your honest opinion and thanks for watching. ❤️
My wife and I wish to thank you for your cruise coverage. We HAD booked the same cruise for the same time frame as yours for 2025. We just canceled our booking. Your coverage helped our decision to cancel. We enjoy your good spirit and honest assessments. Continued success in your RUclips site.
I am both happy and sad 😁. I’m glad to hear that our coverage helped you make an informed decision and I’m sorry to hear that you cancelled your cruise. I really hoped for more out of this cruise. I truly appreciate your feedback and am grateful for your support. I hope the cruise you do decide to go on will be amazing. Thanks for watching. ❤️

Can you share what were your travel dates?
Hi Andrea. Yes, we took this cruise in May. I did an entire video series on it. You might want to watch Day 1 where I go over all the ports with dates and times to get a better feel of the trip. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching. ❤️
It is Ireland and Britain please please correct this.
Get ur facts straight.ireland is not part of the British Isles....do ur research before you write ur content
@@eamanlochain1484 per research: What constitutes the British Isles? British Isles, group of islands off the northwestern coast of Europe. The group consists of two main islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and numerous smaller islands and island groups, including the Hebrides, the Shetland Islands, the Orkney Islands, the Isles of Scilly, and the Isle of Man.Aug 2, 2024
Ireland is not a brittish place, or territory. It is different and seperate. Talking about "brittish isles" in Ireland will get you a negative reaction. Tá fáilte romhat ach bí cúramach agus measúil.
@@TheTipplad I understand your frustration, but Princess Cruise line is the one that calls this cruise “The British Isles Cruise” not me. If you feel that strongly about this I encourage you to write to them. Thanks for sharing your frustration. I am not sure what your last sentence was in the comment, because it is not in English so I can’t reply to what was said.
@MileswithMcConkey I was responding to your post from 8d ago...you quote the British definition of the British isles. This is a contested definition and Ireland does not accept it. People often quote British/Wikipedia/Oxford dictionary type info and take it as the universally accepted gospel, not imagining anyone could possibly diverge. I'm guessing you are from North America and all I say as Gaeilge is " Visitors are very welcome in Ireland but should be made aware of this issue and as visitors, be informed and respectful.
I saw the statue of the horse named after it at Coolmore America. That will do.He was a sire of Champions and a tribute to this incredible World Heritage Site.
That sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing that information and thanks for watching. ❤️
You ought to try taking magic mushrooms there. 🎐🎆 ( Just dont take too much. Unless you want to meet the forest fairies. )
Your comment made me laugh. I like forest fairies 😁. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Well done for making it up the hill on Portland and visiting us.
😂 Thank you so much. That was a pure challenge. Portland was such an amazing surprise and we love everything about this amazing place. Can't wait to come back some day. Thanks for watching. ❤️
We sailed with Regal Princess in June 2024 on a similar 12 day itinerary to the British Isles. Our conclusions were much like your observations. We were ready to disembark at about day 7 to travel on our own. Since we did not take any ship excursions and arranged our own sightseeing; we always felt rushed to get back to the ship by 5 pm. The food was mediocre and no dish was outstanding. The crew and level of service was outstanding and by far the Regal Princess' strongest asset. The ship and our cabin felt worn and in need of a refresh. Our reason for choosing Princess was to travel with elderly family members for whom this pace of travel was ideal. We loved our pre and post cruise side travels to London and Amsterdam. PS Go Cincinnati!
I am so happy to hear that we were not the only ones that felt this way. I agree with your comment. Food was disappointing, but the service was always great. You must of got on the ship right after we got off. Curious, did you have any cancelled ports? We really wanted to go to the Orkney Islands. Thanks for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey No cancelled ports. We did go to Orkney Islands. The Regal Princess docked at Kirkwall. I think it depends the presence of other ships on the day. All we did was a walking tour of Kirkwall. Saw the Viking inspired cathedral and a town history museum. We also witnessed a Scottish bachelor party. The groom was covered in molasses and corn flakes. His friends shrink wrapped him to a centuries old grave stone in front of the cathedral while next to him a Palestine protest was happening. That was one of the best local experiences we saw on the whole trip. The weather was cold, wet and windy that day. Wished I had packed a knit cap.
@@janwilliams4482 that sounds so amazing!!!
Love your b-roll music on all of your scenes and your sense of humor. Thanks.
Glenn, you have no clue how happy you have made me!!! To have someone watch your video and get your sense of humor and appreciate the music, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I was starting to think no one got me and I only make myself laugh 😂. Thanks for watching my friend. ❤️
Nicely done! That is a LONG trip, I did it last year. 10 ports in 12 days is a lot and doesn't leave much down time BUT there is so much to see and do, it's incredible! I've been blessed to travel a lot and the Princess British Isles trip is probably my best trip ever. So much history and different cultures. Regal Princess ship was awesome, great captain and crew. Shout out to our friends Rusty, Vladimir in the Allegro dining room, those guys are awesome.
Thank you for making me feel normal 😁. I am happy to hear someone else say this. The crew is amazing and we had the BEST Cruise Director, Allie. I would love to do this trip again, but spend 3-4 days in each port and really soak it all in. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Love your videos! So informative and real! Sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it, but why were your stops canceled? It looks like you didn’t go to the northern islands or to LaHavre. Just wondering why? We are doing this cruise on same ship and I’d like to be prepared. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words. You made me smile. This is a series and I do talk about it on the Day 8 & 9 video. I highly recommend you watch the series. I actually just released Day 11 today and do a review on the food and formal night. But spoiler alert, LaHavre was cancelled due to port strike (which we here happens often) and Orkney Islands due to weather (which we found out they only have success docking there 1 out of 3 cruises). I really hope you get to dock at both of these. So far I have released 9 videos in the series and have 2 left (working on them now). Let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to help. Thanks for watching. ❤️
The longer the cruise the better for me but my husband feels like you.
That is too funny. Opposites do attract 😁. I might be able to stay on the cruise if it was warmer and maybe in the Caribbean 😂. Thanks for watching. ❤️
The white house
Thank you
What month did you cruise? We are going next May and expecting cold and rain.
We went in May of this year. This is the 8th video of the series. The first video I explained all our excursions we are taking and the itinerary. In several of the other videos I talked about what I wore and the weather. I hope these can help you. Let me know if you have any questions. I will be happy to help. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Too bad about the weather! I was there a year ago on Edinburgh is a beautiful city. I didn't see it on your video but hopefully you went into the prison at the castle. Prisoners from the Revolutionary war were held there and carved American flags on their cell doors!
Yes, the weather didn't help us 😁. We only had a little over and hour to explore and we really wanted to go into the prison, but ran out of time. It was so busy that day with Prince Edward being there. I could have stayed there all day and explored. I can't wait to go back. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Cool 😎 video
Thank you I really appreciate it!!! That means a lot. Thanks for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey u welcome 🤗 u probably hit 1 million subscribers
Where was the cabin you stayed in near the finger lakes.?
It was on Canandaigua Lake. I was a great little house. I don't remember the name of it, but there is a link in the description of the video. I hope that helps. If you are still having trouble locating it, let me know. I will try and find it somewhere is our records. Thanks for watching. ❤️
These people must be Americans, loud, brash and inconsiderate. Serves you right for complaining, looks good on you. Say hello to Trump for me, on that matter don't.
Whine whine whine whine.........
I like Wine 🍷 . Thanks for watching 😂.
Sorry that you had two ports cancelled. For anyone considering going on a cruise do be advised that port cancellations/changes are frequently necessary due to weather or other issues, so you need to be prepared for that to happen. Sounding the fog horn, in the fog, is also a standard safety practice.
Thank you for that great information. Missing out on the Orkney Islands was a bummer. When you are looking forward to it so much and then find out that they cancelled the port more than they dock, it hurts. I wish they wouldn't put it on the itinerary, or at least let you know the odds of docking there are very slim. We understood the safety of the crew and passengers was their most important objective. The fog horn was a fun experience. I really liked walking around in complete fog. Something we will never forget. Thanks for watching. ❤️
I cruise Princess all the time and all you have to do is ask your cabin steward for more hangers.
Thank you so much for that information, it's good to know. Unfortunately, we didn't see our cabin steward for the first 3 days 😂. We were starting to think he had magical powers and appear only when we are gone. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Even Princess can't control Mother Nature or those striking French (which can happen a lot unfortunately). Hope the rest of your cruise was better.
I completely agree with you. These were at the end, so the beginning of the cruise was amazing. 😁. It was a great cruise, just hated missing out on Orkney Islands, especially when we found out that they cancel the port more times then they dock. Then just take it off the itinerary, is my opinion. Thanks for watching. ❤️
For anyone who has sailed in an Aft cabin on Princess, how is the noise? Is there a lot of vibration?
We have cruised twice with Princess in an aft cabin. It is very quiet and there is no vibrations. It is our favorite way to cruise. ❤️ Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@MileswithMcConkey thank you so much!
It's unpredictable. On our 23 day Transatlantic cruise from Miami to Venice, Italy we were mentally prepared for inclement weather and multiple missed ports. We actually had 23 days of perfect weather. However we docked in Nassau instead of the private island port in the Bahamas (no big deal). We made all of the other 14 ports as scheduled. But on a 10 day cruise from Barcelona to Southampton, UK we missed 2 ports in Portugal due to strikes, and we missed 1 port in England due to weather. You just never know.
I completely agree. You just can't predict the weather or strikes. Your Transatlantic cruise sounds fun. We might have to try one of those. Thanks for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey You'll find most Transatlantic cruises in the Spring or Fall. You can expect calmer seas and better weather in March/April. I wouldn't do a Transatlantic in October/November. Some itineraries only visit a few ports, while others will visit several. Either way, it's a much lower cost per day.
You can see puffins in the US out of Maine or Iceland. Cruises and weather and unpredictable and on a cruise you only get that one day at port if you do go into the port so no waiting for better weather if you were on a vacation on land for a longer period of time.
Thank you for that information. We usually only do land trips, but since this was our first time across the pond we just wanted to get the taste of 6 countries in 12 says. Not being on the land for several days to explore was KILLING my husband. I probably won't be able to get him on another cruise 😂. We have been to Maine and struck out there too. I was really hoping the Orkney Islands excursion to see them was the answer. Lesson learned. Thanks for the great advice and for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey I totally get your disappointment. We just had a terrible weather in Alaska and our only nice day at port that excursion was canceled due to inclement weather. Such a gamble for so much money. Your best bet for Puffins is Iceland I guess. they have them in the north and south plus it's beautiful.
First thank you for this video. I was on the 27th of May sailing. They cancelled Le Havre for us to. Our alternate was Belgium which was really nice. Now in regards to the shore excursion lecture with 'Ken." First of all......right!!! This was not good. I was thinking to myself during that lecture that first they need someone else more vibrant. His lecture is just tired and old. I actually pulled him aside and asked how to get a job as a shore excursion director. I think someone needs to make the tough decsion to kind a send him on to retirement. For such an important cruise you would think Princess would realize this. Anyways dont worry about Paris. You need more than just a day. Fly there for a few days...go to Normandy for 2 days and then go to the Loire Valley. Worth the land travel vs 14 hours of travel stress from the port.
I feel so much better now that someone knows what we went through. You must have been on the cruise right behind us. We were getting off and you were getting on. The fact that you got Belgium, WOW!!!! My husband is so jealous. Ken is a nice guy, but couldn't agree with you more. Everything he showed and talked about was so outdated. I was hoping to get a least something small out of it and got nothing! There were SO MANY people that fell asleep during the presentation. We joked about watching him in the room at night to put us to sleep and it worked. We were out within minutes 😂. I would love to have that job, talk for 1 minute and play music for 3. Thank you for making me feel better and for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey Of course these videos are so helpful to everyone going on British Isles cruises. I hope you get a chance to go to Paris. Of course way after the olympics. I can recommend a tour guide that we used for Normandy. He had a B and B that was actually a battalion aid station during D Day and a soldier who died there is buried at the American Cemetery. I believe his company is called normandybattletours. You can of course travel to Versailles and the Louire Valley for day tours. Nice chatting with you. Todd
It's unfortunate, but things like this do happen. Weather usually being the cause. The Paris strike sucked, that's for sure. I did the 2023 World Cruise on Island Princess and we had 7 ports canceled. Mostly New Zealand and Australia. The two destinations that were high on my list. I just hunkered down and had fun with our group of friends. We actually did a pub crawl to make up for it.
OMG, 7 ports cancelled!!! I would be crying. When you pay that kind of money to see places you dream about only to have it taken away 💔. A world cruise sounds so amazing!!! I don't think I will be able to get my husband on another cruise after this one. He wants to explore places fully for days and to drive by in a bus was KILLING him. He kept wanting to scream "Stop the bus and let me out" I understand you can't control weather or strikes, but the news still stung just the same. Thank you for understanding and watching. ❤️
Wonderful video! Thank you!❤
Awe, you made my morning. Thank you for those kind words and thanks for watching. ❤️
I’m sorry your itinerary was upset but I live in the UK and for years I’ve struck Paris off my list of places to visit. There’s just too much negative stuff going on there. It’s often on our news here, riots and so on. To top that off, the Olympics are on so I’d be avoiding because of that as well. A real shame that Normandy got struck off though.
Your kind words was so nice to hear. Thank you!! ❤️. I have heard this from MANY people about Paris. I heard it's dirty and lots of pick-pocketers, but I was hoping that since it was May and the Olympic were coming, then it would be a little cleaner. I did feel really bad for the older people on our cruise about missing Normandy. It was a lot of "bucket list" places for them. Thanks for watching. ❤️
The Fog was also a scary movie lol
Oh, yes that one is too!! I am not a scary movie person, so it felt really weird. I am happy someone else found this humerous. 😁. Thanks for watching. ❤️
I noticed no one else was on the train. If there were other people, would you have been allowed to walk through the entire train? One vlogger said that she had to sit in the Dome car the entire three hours. Thanks.
We were encourage to walk around the train, especially to the back and stand outside. There were several people walking around, but we were the only ones vlogging. I try really hard not to film others. The food and drinks just keeps coming so you don't really want to be away from your table too much. We waited until the last people off and walked through the train at the very end. We did ask if we could and they said yes. There were others doing the same. I hope this helps and you get to enjoy this amazing experience. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Wow! The British Isles look amazing!
It truly it. I hope you get to experience this great adventure someday. Thanks for watching. ❤️
I’ve been researching and have watched about a billion RUclips videos in the last months in preparation of our first cruise next week. This is the best video I’ve seen! -thanks so much for sharing!! ❤
Hi Mandy, I woke up to your comment and it made me smile and start my day so good. I am so happy you loved it. When we were getting ready to go on the Alaska cruise I searched all over for what the view was like on the aft. So since I couldn't find one, I wanted to make one for everyone. I also did a series on the entire cruise. I hope that could help you too. Thanks for watching and have an amazing trip!! ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkeythank you!! Was the aft noisy? And how about the movement? Are you prone to motion sickness? 😬
@@mandymcgath3925 it was very quiet and we LOVE it! I am motion sickness queen. I take 1 Dramamine 24 hour non drowsy pill after breakfast and had absolutely no problems. Someday I want to try the Relief wristband. We just got off the British Isles Cruise and had an aft room and I recorded in the back to show how quiet it was. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey thank you again! I appreciate you taking the time to reply! ❤️
I live in the Uk and do not like paying for a rest room so usually try to nip in a pub to use there’s,great videos by the way Scotland not a place I have been to that much ,live way down south
You made me laugh so hard. I am so happy I an not the only one. I did use that trick with the pub too 😁. Thanks for watching!! ❤️
Are all those people come from cruise ships?
No, not everyone was from the cruise ship. It was a weekend and there were A LOT of people there. Our cruise ship had 2 buses and there were 46 people on each. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching ❤️
How beautiful!
It was truly an amazing excursion. Thanks for watching. ❤️
I also ment to ask what month did you travel, I have booked the beginning of June. I would be leaving from Boston Mass. I'm taking a non-stop flight. Do you think I should fly in the day before? I hope you don't mind me asking all these quick.
Hi Jacqueline, I don't mind at all. It makes me so happy to help. We went in May and I do recommend coming in the night before. I have heard horror stories of a late or canceled flight and people missing the ship. I would just cry if that happened to me. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching. ❤️
I so enjoyes watching the video of your 12 day British Isle. I will be traveling as a solo at age 77. Your videos have made me even more excited to see the Isles. Im looking forward to seeing Scotland. Which I think would be day 7. I will be on the Majestic.
@@jackierose2421 we met so many people that were solo and around that age. They all had a fantastic time. We are so happy to get you excited for this cruise. You are going to have so much fun. Yep, you are correct I am working on the Scotland videos now. Thanks for watching ❤️.
We’ll be on the Regal in October for a transatlantic. So excited. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

this will be our second time in this area,, we have hired a private driver for both Cork and Dublin area as i felt the last time on the Princess excursions we were not given enough time at some of the stops. they arent inexpensive but i feel we will really get to immerse ourselves into areas we were rushed through,, check out About Ireland Taxi Tours
That’s an amazing idea!! We will definitely need to look into that for next time. We would LOVE to have more time at the stops. Thanks for watching ❤️
jumping on board aug 25th thank you !!

We are so happy we could bring back a little joy for you. Thanks for watching..❤️
What actual room #? I'm trying to book a room now foe Aug 2025
Hi Cindy, Our exact room was C742, which is on the 9th floor. If I could do it again, I would select the 10th floor, which starts with the letter D. They had bigger balconies with an overhead for the rain. We did the 10th floor on our British Isles cruise recently in the aft also and LOVED it. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Thank you for showing the addresses! ❤
Awe thanks for noticing ❤️. I always want to know where exactly everything is and thought someone might want to know this also. This makes me so happy. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Thanks for this video series! Very informative and fun. We're doing a similar cruise on the Regal this fall. Looking forward to future videos.
@@rhondadeniston4774 you are going to have a fantastic time and October should be a beautiful month. So excited for you. Thanks for watching and you kind words ❤️.
Ireland is not Britain's Isles, don't insult us please.
Thanks for letting us know. We did not intend to insult anyone. Obviously, Princess needs to change the name of this cruise. Thanks for watching though ❤️
