BEST PORT IN THE UK??? Weymouth is SO MUCH MORE Than We Expected - Norwegian Prima Cruise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2022
- We spent time in London prior to jumping on Norwegian Prima... but we are back in the UK in port! Technically we dock in Portland, which is an island on the Southern coast of England, but we take a double-decker bus into the town of Weymouth. Everyone has told us that the UK feels completely different outside of London and they were so right!
This port town is charming! Everything is in walking distance and there are kind local volunteers when you get off the bus who hand you a map and tell you where to go. Walking along the bay, we see the brightly colored buildings full of shops, restaurants, hotels and pubs. This is a seaside town for the UK residents as well as a port stop for cruise ships. So it has a great local vibe. We walk, we sit on the beach, we have some great food, we walk some more. It was a fantastic day in port!!

You two are so lovely, enthusiastic & courteous. The world is a better place with you charming people in it. I hope you had a lovely time in the UK.
As a Brit, it's so nice to see you discover what we'd probably take for granted - this has totally opened my eyes to seeing my country through the eyes of a tourist - fantastic video!
didnt expect to see my home town on you tube out of no where.. highly recommend the place
Hello from America 🇺🇸
I have lived in 4 different countries the UK being one of them, each country has its beauty spots that is the wonderful fact of our planet. I worked in the port of Piraeus Greece for 7 years & watched huge cruise ships coming in & out with the glistening Mediterranean as a back drop. I flew into Heathrow last summer & saw the Thames' brown water glisten, I smiled as despite the contrast I love London & love the Thames regardless. Sitting at a pub on the river be it Chiswick, Richmond is a pleasure.
As a local it was fascinating seeing Weymouth from your perspective. Often we look past the good stuff but thanks for reminding us & hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
That short hair look is working girl!
I know, right? I love it, too 💜
Yes! I think it looks great!!!

Well done to the two presenters for helping to promote my beautiful home town of Weymouth and Portland. Great presentation and very engaging to watch. Thank you.
I’m just devastated about the queen. I’ve been shaken up all day. What a loss. I can’t believe you guys where then when she was last at Buckingham Palace.
I now live in Australia, I am in my 70's. Growing up in Nth Ireland my family had our summer holidays in Weymouth in the 50's and 60's. Great times!
I’m a retired hairstylist and I saw the video on your hair a few weeks ago. I have worked with many women whom have had to shave their heads due to cancer treatments. I have cut their hair about four times in the weeks prior to them losing it and ultimately shaving it. I start them with a bit shorter than what they originally had and each week I take it shorter and shorter so that they can see and feel what they have to look forward to as their hair returns. Many women keep their hair short as it’s so easy to care for. I just wanted to tell you that your short hair looks beautiful on you. It make s your gorgeous eyes come alive. So rock that short hair and give up the wig[ugh). Your beautiful without it
Enjoy the rest of your trip ,Mary.
That is great how you bring them down gradually! The wig is officially gone now. You may see it again as we have videos recorded that haven’t posted yet, but no more!
I so agree with you & your heartfelt sentiments. I too think she looks pretty au natural.
@@EECCTravels I was under the impression that the food from the UK was not very nice is this true
@@MrCoxy38 that was the case in WWII when many Americans were stationed there and so it is what has been known in the US. But that’s definitely not the case anymore!!
You guys are great to watch, both really great to watch on camera and you really absorb and take in your surroundings. I'm from the UK but your video has sold Weymouth to me. Excellent job, keep up the great work 👍
Thanks guys. I live in Weymouth, so good to see you appreciating what we sometimes take for granted. Much love👊👊👊
I was in England for an entire month in May and it was fantastic. I spent 10 days in Moreton-in-marsh, 11 days in Weymouth and 10 days in Windsor. I will be going back but this time for 3 months north in England and Scotland. 😃
I’m gonna come right out and say it. That short hair SUITS you!!!! You look incredible! ….and I’m a hairdresser!!!! You look so beautiful! Love all the stages of growing your hair back, you might fall in love with something new!♥️ you look amazing doll!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Agree!
Loved Weymouth since 1953 when I was a baby. Been there numerous times especially with my wife Lin who I lost 4 years ago. Difficult to visit now. Been to all of the places you went to. The William Henry was our favourite for many years.
Having an ice cream at the Seaside is as traditional as having fish and chips at the seaside for us Brits. Weymouth is gorgeous! I went last year for my birthday and had a fabulous time.
Just a couple of things
1. It's perfectly acceptable to dip your chips in ketchup it isn't a wrong thing to do.
2. The prices you got your food for in Weymouth can easily be found in London when you're not in the Central tourist area. Those prices (in Weymouth) are actually more expensive than I pay in my local area in the suburbs of Greater London
The pub was a Wetherspoons famous for cheap beer and cheap food , one in almost every town and city
I grew up in Weymouth, so glad you had fun, but come back as Britain has many amazing places to visit
Love how appreciative you both were for everything you tried, very humble and saw the beauty in everything ❤️ Weymouth is a beautiful beach, I live not far away, watching your video makes me want to visit more! Oh and us Brits love ketchup on chips, we have bottles in the house mainly for chips 🙂 great job on your video ❤️
You are ROCKING the short hair! Love you guys!
I love the short hair. Love the video
Loving that you are letting your “freak flag fly” by embracing your short hair and not wearing a wig. You look GREAT Alisa!
Thanks for doing such a great report on Weymouth, I live in the middle of town and walk my dog on the beach about 4 times a week. You saw a few of the good bits but there’s loads more, in our opinion Weymouth is the best quality of life in the UK! Come back soon during your month trip! ❤ If you want to see Weymouth and Portland in big storms, check out my channel.
Hi Jason in the 70s Portland use to be a naval base , as a sea cadet in my teens we went on a Royal Navy Frigate called HMS Apollo where we spent the full day onboard working along side the naval ratings and officers, and we had great food onboard but oh boy did we have to earn it, can you imagine what that was like for a thirteen year old, I vowed when I grew up that I’d join the navy and guess what I did ! Yes you guessed it I joined the army instead,
We have ketchup on our chips too in England..mmmm You've made me want to visit Weymouth, haven't been for 40 years!
Your short hair is absolutely beautiful, and you look absolutely gorgeous!! It’s very becoming on you and fits and frames tour face so well!! Just wanted to let you know this and to encourage to be the beautiful natural you that you are!!✨✨
Hi, I live in Weymouth and it’s a fabulous town. Not just for tourists, but a lovely place to raise a family. There’s loads of beaches, countryside and beautiful places to visit. Next time you come you need to go to the Nothe Fort. It’s a great bit of history 👍🏻
We absolutely loved it!!
i miss the days of the sea front arcades.. also bowlease is pretty nice, sandsfoot castle... but yeah radipole is defo a cant be missed opportunity although i like just kicking it at the swanery when passing through town
Your soooo lucky, i liv e in Bridgwater and so want to move to weymouth wish me luck,
@@ransomedavis2208 I hope you do too. You’re not too far away for the regular visit 💖
@@daveryandirect thankyou. no your right im about an hour and half away which is nothing when its your soul place is it👍
Now that your hair has grown out a little, I love it. It makes you look a lot younger and I bet so easy to deal with. Hope you keep it short.
Love your videos & awesome hair you rock it girl 🌸
Those wings must be incredible to impress an American like that!
I live in Weymouth and have to say, I love the video. It's nice to see Weymouth through a tourists eyes, so many things I just don't notice.
Your reaction to the 'sticks of rock' was hilarious, they're a thing at every seaside resort in the UK. I can't believe you don't have them overseas.
I'm from California and we have 'old fashioned candy sticks' which are like the ones they looked at but much smaller. I've seen them in several states.
They're not proper sticks of rock unless they have Weymouth written through them. Any seaside resort you buy rock in should have the name of that town written through it from end to end.😊
I love the short hair. Wish I was brave enough to try the look myself.
Plenty of wetherspoons pubs in London...with same prices .....love Weymouth too ...great video x
Portland is by the way the only port on the south coast of England apart from Southampton and Dover which is deep enough to accommodate ships of this sort of size, so it's really good for local business and is likely to become more so. As a local I can tell you it's a great place. This vlogg doesn't even scratch the surface, but it's fun anyway!
I'm a shamed to say I've lived in the South of England my whole life but never been to Weymouth. Will definitely need to add it to the list. You guys should visit Cornwall in the future it's amazing
Love venturing With you guys. Y’all make us feel like we are right there with you. GOOD JOB
Such a shame you didn't get to explore Portland. I live there over looking the port.
Portland is an amazing unique place with lovely coves and pirate grave yard to explore. There are thousands of cruise visitors missing out on so much on Portland .
Don't forget most Americans still think our food is rubbish. PS You look great without the wig!
Ketchup a no no? We Brits love it on our chips!
You are rocking that short hair!!!!! You must be feeling great cuz you are glowing!!!!!!! So fun watching you both!!!!
Awe thank you 😊
great video!! ty for sharing
Short hair really suits you so much! You have beautiful, expressive eyes and having short hair draws attention to them even more.
Love it! ❤️
Very interesting! You kept my attention from start to finish!
Great video of your travels! I would like to do a cruise like that! Looks like and awesome time! Great to see what other great cruises there are to do, time for us to venture out to other places!
kool and the gang is worth the cruise in itself
I've enjoyed many of your vlogs, but I think this was my all-time favorite! I felt like I was in Weymouth with you. Thanks!
You guys are having so much fun and I love your video’s. Jason really enjoys his wings. Keep enjoying life!
Thank You for sharing you're experience of our town. Glad you had a nice time.
Wonderful how you are capturing the beauty of each place you visit.
Said it once and I'll say it again. Short hair is perfect for you. :) I'm enjoying following along on your NCL Prima Cruise. Very interesting !!!
Portland is where much of the stone for important historical buildings comes from in England. The Victoria memorial outside Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral are built of Portland stone - pretty much any big important white stone building is made from that stone.
Interesting 👍
I believe that stone from Portland was used for part of the United Nations building in New York. If you get chance there is a wonderful walk around the Island that takes in much of the old quarry workings.
I just found your channel & am just loving it.I can’t wait to see more.❤️
Loving this series!! Also loving your hair, so pretty!
I love this video thanks for sharing! I grew up in Weymouth so it's so nice to see it from your perpective. And the review of your lunch at Wetherspoons was brilliant! Thanks guys
My American Hubster liked the U.K. so much he now lives here with me and has become a Brit 👍🏻
Looks so beautiful. But ketchup on chips here in the UK is a big yes yes 🤣 ketchup and mayo 👌
Love this video! Y’all remind me of my hubby & I when we travel. We are scheduled for Prima on 13th. Thanks for the preview.
Great to see you folks enjoyed the UK 🇬🇧
Looks like a beautiful place!
Great video I have always loved Weymouth
Been to Weymouth a couple of times there's lots to explore lovely place 👍
Enjoy your trip
Grew up on Pasty's in Michigan. Ours have rutabaga's in them, no potato's even though we have a huge potato presence. You can get them plain, ketchup on the side or gravy. The history of handpies, from all over, were hearty enclosed sandwiches that men would take to work that would be eaten hot or cold. Like empanadas that most people recognize. Or Polish peirogi Different forms of hand food eaten hot or cold.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful day with us!❤️👍🏻⚓️🛳🥳
I am so in love with your travels and the progression of your channel. So beautiful and just a good time exploring with you both. I was kind of skeptical about cruising to Europe but you have given me a little confidence and I am excited to get traveling.
Glad you had a fab time ,I live on Portland and love it x
Great place to visit
Great video guys, I live in weymouth and it was great to see it through the eyes of others, have a good trip.
As always thank you for taking us along! I am so envious that you are experiencing the Prima.
Alisa you are glowing in this video and look great with your sassy short hair!
Glad You guys enjoyed it. I was just down there too. Had you gone to Portland there’s a cool stone quarries up there big views looking down on the beach
We just got back from spending the week in Portland and Weymouth and saw the cruise ship you guys were on!! Totally agree it's one of the nicest area's of the uk we've travelled so far, glad you too had a great time, fab video and hope you have a safe journey home! 😁
So glad you're both enjoying your visit here to the UK, It's great to have you here!
Beautiful views!
Love the beaches, candy shop and other things
Beautiful views!
We were in Weymouth last week it’s our favourite place x thanks for putting Weymouth out there ❤️
I’m behind watching videos because I just got back from a cruise ❤. I’m hooked
Use to live there during my time in the Royal Navy, my daughter still lives in Dorchester and works at the local hospital, Portland now there is a name that brings back memories
Another beltin video, I enjoy watching you guys enjoying your time here 👍🏻
I'm really enjoying your videos. Very slick production and you guys are well researched. I was in Weymouth on a cruise in 2017 and it's quite a hidden gem. Lots of history and quirky things all in one place. Tried the local fish and chips at Fish n Fritz and it lived up to the image you have of a typical English fish and chip restaurant. Large portions of tasty food.
As a Brit it’s always good to see visitors thoughts on our great countryside. The reason your meal was so well priced was because it was a pub chain called Witherspoons. On your next visit look them up an save some money on your meals and drinks. If ever you are visiting Portsmouth drop me a message. We are always happy to show interesting places to visitors.
We have been waiting for this series to come out and you haven't disappointed us!! Great drone footage as a bonus!
Glad you’re enjoying them 😃
Well I can’t wait til you come back to the UK - love your vids thank you ..
Looks like a place I would love to visit.
Very pleased you enjoyed your time in our town! It’s easy to forget how fortunate we are to live in a beautiful place like Weymouth. Our 20 minute walk to town takes us along a secluded beach, a cliff top hiking path, a quiet little bay, those pretty old painted cottages and then the harbour. We love having visitors here! A couple of weeks ago I was in Amsterdam and the first local I spoke to at a pub had all these fond stories of the time he spent in Weymouth and Portland when he was in the navy - he said it’s one of his favourite places.
OOOH! So excited you got pasties! They are also popular up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The miners would take them as lunch down in the ore mines.👍 What a fun port stop!
Enjoying watching your videos, interesting to see what folks from the US make of our country. Weymouth was our first trip to the coast when the lockdown rules started to get lifted, and I spent a fortune in Phil’s Vinyl Vault, just messaged him a link to your video. Fyi a cornish pasty was a traditional dish for miners in cornwall to take down the mine for their lunch, the crusty edge was so they could hold it in their dirty hands and was designed to be a while meal in the pastry.
Every time I see you buy fudge it reminds me of that HUGE fudge haul you made in Alaska. It looked so good
The pub was a Wetherspoons which is a low cost chain. Much cheaper than in London. Your US equivalent would be Millers Ale House.
I am loving this series of videos on the Prima! Alisa your hair looks fantastic short! Hubba Hubba ;)
Definitely in my top 5 too of the ports that y’all have visited! Jason you are the connoisseur of all things wings. I don’t think I’ve seen a video yet that you haven’t ordered them 😜 Happy to see Alisa venturing off the ship today. Your smile & Jason’s dance moves after eating something delicious, can brighten up a girls day! As always thanks for sharing & y’all stay safe
As a regular visitor to Weymouth I really enjoyed your video.. A really good insight from the visitors who have been to the town from the cruise ships that visit.
I live on Portland now but I grew up in Weymouth and I work in the town! This video popped up on my feed and I'm so glad that you enjoyed our little town!
Was in Weymouth and Portland in June and I absolutely loved both places.
You got lucky with the weather, it's raining here now, although a few weeks before your visit it was around 95°f which is almost unheard of here. Glad you enjoyed your visit 👍
Awesome video, you captured our town really nicely. I live in Weymouth (hence the RUclips name/channel), I love it here. Glad to have the cruise ships coming in. You are all welcome 🙂
Whoever edited this video did an amazing job!!
Brilliant video. You are welcome back anytime! Radipole Lake is nice to visit. Can recommend some of the pubs around the harbour, and fish & chips. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it here 🥰
Oh yummy clotted cream is the best fudge ever
I went here once on a holiday as a kid! Probably the best childhood holiday I had.
Great video ! You guys are living the life, so happy for you both! Alisa you look so adorable in your new chic short hair!! Jason, my husband envies your cold beers in all the various places...enjoy!!
