- Hello Everyone! It's Tom and Paul! We're The Blokes From Stoke! Sharing our love of Disney, Universal, Theme Parks, Travel, Florida and Home.
We're back on a cruise ship! Welcome to our Virgin Voyage from Portsmouth to Amsterdam over the bank holiday weekend.
Firstly we'll show you around our room at the Royal Maritime hotel and find out why we wouldn't go back! Then it's off to Gunwharf Quays while we wait for our boarding group.
It's not long before we're headed to the ship, so let's show you around our Rockstar Suite and a little bit of the ship. We'll also introduce you to Lewis, our INCREDIBLE Rock Star agent who went above and beyond to make our trip amazing.
Come with us to the Wake for dinner and we set sail for Amsterdam!

Just catching up after our holiday... Great sail away video boys! Looks like you're in for lots of fun! X
Thank you! It’s very different to a Disney cruise! 😂😂😂
The Wake was our favourite too,
Just such a lovely experience! Thanks for coming along!
Virgin Voyages are obviously popular. Not really my thing but happy to watch you both having fun.
Thanks so much for joining us! We appreciate that it can be a very lively cruise ship! Not to everyone’s taste but cheers for watching!
Working over time on this vlog editing!! We appreciate it. Loved x
Thanks for joining us Loren! We just didn’t want you to be having to watch this in December! 😂😂😂
I just stumbled on your channel!!! Love the humor
Hi folks! Thanks so much for joining us! Great to have you on board!
So enjoyed your light and banter heavy vlog. Looking forward to more.
Thank you so much for joining us! We’re all about heavy banter! Hopefully you’ll stick around for more mischief!
Omg the close-up shot of the fuzzy animal slippers 😅😂
Heheh That’s the great thing about Virgin! You can just be yourself! Thanks for joining us!
That note was so sweet! What a nice touch
Thank you Shannon! Honestly, we were absolutely blown away by everything he did for us! Just above and beyond customer service! We genuinely had no idea that he’d been checking us out before we got on board!
Well, I’ve done plenty of cruising in my time it’s never involved boarding a Virgin!
Seriously that cabin looks like an experience all on its own, I’m looking forward to seeing it all (you’ve forced me to subscribe 😆)
😂😂😂😂 Thanks Matthew! Who knew you would take being forced by a virgin! Cheers for joining us! She’s a stunning ship!
That teeny tiny tv hanging on the hotel wall has me dying 😂
Haha like we say - perfect for a “Mini-Series!” Thanks for coming along!
You two are FABULOUS, darling, loving all your streams, you are both amazing. Tomas, Paul, you are our first view when we Finnish work, every day to catch up with what your up to. Say hello to Ralphy, love ya both. Wii and Bev from cleethorpes.
Awwwww thank you Beverley! Sending lots of love up to Cleethorpes and Ralphie says hello!

Im addicted to your series - keep it up!
Hiya! Thanks so much for tuning in! We’ve got plenty more to come so stay tuned!
Great vlog! Your cabin looked super. It’s fantastic to see what you got up to.
Thanks so much chaps! Was great to meet you both too and so glad you enjoyed your first experience with the Ladyships!
haha this room tour is iconic
Haha thanks for coming along! You should see the one from 2021!
Hello gents 🤣 y'know when you say 'adult' cruise & Amsterdam in the same sentence...the mind can wander 😉😂 Oh god Paul, your room tour quote at the hotel .... 'everything in here needs burning to be honest ' 🤣🙃🤣 ha ha ! ( they're experiences for sure, aren't they ? 😉 ) ... & 'head west on queen st ' oh stop 😋I'm choking on my cuppa ☕ ha! Lovely cruise ship and cabin onboard & verandah , you rockstars!!!! It looks loads of fun onboard x
Haha thank you! We’d call this an honest review! It served its purpose but we won’t be back! Thanks for coming with us and enjoy a slightly different series from us!
New subscriber!
Oh my I did feel for you baking in that terrible hotel box! You two we’re definitely the beauty element and the room was the beast in the west wing!!
Loved this review……
Not sure Virgin cruises is our sort of cruise but it looks very good fun and interesting shall we say….The embarkation seemed very chaotic compared to other cruise ships we’ve been on,guess it was because everyone was delayed…👍🇬🇧
Hello Bronnie! Thanks so much for joining us on our adventures! Good to have you on board and yes, the hotel is a one and done! 😂😂😂 Think the communication was poor at the port which is why it seemed a little chaotic….. people didn’t know which group was boarding so could have been better. We all got on eventually tho!
This is so weird as we were exactly where you were in Portsmouth at the beginning of August 24
Ah! Portsmouth is a great place! Hope you had a good time while you were there!
That looked like a lot of fun. Nice to see you being looked after properly.
Thank you! We really love these ships and Lewis was the true Rockstar! Just amazing customer service. He got a great review on the feedback form!
Great video! So interesting to see how different your seriously suite looked compared to our normal sea terrace. 🛳️
Thanks so much for watching and lovely to meet you both too! Hope you had a fantastic time! We stayed in the Brilliant Suite on our first ever sailing so this was just a little bit smaller… but a beautiful ship!
Very happy to hear from you guys again!! Saw the Facebook reel this morning and it looks like you'll be making the same journey we will be making in January so I will be watching closely! 💜
Thanks so much for joining us! Have a great trip!
Very bougie, more like a fancy hotel than a cruise ship ❤
They’re lovely ships… a really classy feel…. Until we get on board! 😂😂
I stayed in your room at the maritime hotel when I was in the Navy, back in 1975. It’s exactly the same!!😂🤷😂
😂😂😂😂😂 Oh goodness! So we weren’t being too critical then! Definitely needs a major overhaul! Thank you for joining us!
Love your vlogs ,you're not ready for a twilight retirement home just yet guys 🤣
Cheers Janet! Although looking at that room you’d have thought it! Thank you for watching!
Looks like virgin have added the ship to their collection
They have three now Scott! Another is coming next year!
Fab vlog guys (as always!). Hopefully our voyage paths cross in the future! ❤
Thanks so much for watching folks! Oh now imagine what shenanigans that would create!
That cruise looks so much fun, can't wait for the rest of the series 😊
Thanks Rach! It’s a bit different to the Disney ones! Let’s hope Brendan doesn’t want to do one yet! 😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliant!! Love you both. Great to see other content mixed in with your Disney content! You’ve made me want to book a virgin voyage now!! Great work ❤️
Thanks so much for joining us! We do try and mix things up a bit so there won’t be much Disney on this one! If you’re interested in booking a Voyage; get in touch with Tom on his tom_morrow_travels accounts and he can price it up for you and see about getting some extra things thrown in!
Definitely enjoyed looking forward to some more 🎉
Thanks Joy! Nice little break from Disney!
The Royal Maratime Hotel used to be The Home Club for Sailors. Basic accommodation for Royal Naval personnel and their families. If there is an anchor on the furniture it is probably RN issue.
Thanks Gillian! Wonder if that had anything to do with the large number of folk who were just leaving a meeting as we headed out?
Have a fabulous cruise guys ❤❤xx
Thanks Davina! We’re back on dry land now so you’ll be getting double vlogs for the next few weeks!
That tiny TV was giving me office vibes 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 It was so tiny! They didn’t provide binoculars to watch it! 😂😂😂 Thank you for joining us!
I’m so happy I get to watch your adventures! Your banter is such a breath of fresh air. ❤
Hiya! Thanks for joining us on something a bit different! Hope you have fun!
Absolutely creasing at the TV🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 Thanks for watching! We’re really not good wholesome family viewing are we! 😂😂
That hotel omg so dated and £110 pounds 💷 but you always make us laugh 😂 look forward to the rest to come guys
Oooh it was a shocker wasn’t it! Probably could have been much worse though! Thanks so much for watching!
Just found your channel guys and have subscribed - we are from Staffordshire too! Love your vlog!! We are off on Resilient Lady in 2 weeks time so this has been really useful. Looking forward to watching more of your content.
Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for joining us! Always nice to have local folk on board! Have a fabulous time on her Ladyship and enjoy all the mischief!
Ps ship looks amazing & great content as always
Thank you Jacqueline! The ships are absolutely stunning!
Just seen the outside and yes we have stayed there for a couple of nights for one of my birthdays
Thank you for watching! Hope you had a nicer room than we did!
Wow, that hotel room was grim! Love the little infinity type symbols in the vlog. Your first Virgin vlog series was when I first found you. Paul’s jokes are as great as always. Only downside, my brain thinks it’s a Saturday and I should be having a bacon sandwich and a lie in😘
Hahahaha thank you! We thought we’d mix it up a bit! Saturdays will be the same as usual but we have so much to get out that it would be December before you saw this! 😂
Hi guys we did a cruise around the Greek island in June we had a Mega rock star room on level 12 it had a 9m x 3m balcony our bar was replenished everyday for free despite all this we absolutely hated nearly every minute of the trip apart from the ice cream counter our agent was Juan great guy keep safe Andy and vonnie
Oh no folks! Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the experience! The ships are very different versus other cruise lines. Hopefully the bar helped you get through it all… thanks for watching!
New subscriber here. Great vlog. I've never been on a cruise it looks so much fun. U guys are brilliant the way u bounce off each other. Look forward to more of your vlogs 😊❤😊
Hi Kirsty! Welcome aboard and thanks for joining us! We’ve got lots more for you to binge watch and tons on the way! Hope you get to try a cruise one day. They’re great fun!
You mean to tell me you came to Amsterdam without telling me? Of course, back in August I was still in Florida, so I couldn't have shown you around anyways 🙂
We didn’t get a whole lot of time in the city but we made the most of it! Wonderful place!
Is that hotel near gunwharf quays and the naval yard, if so we have stayed there
Yes it is! Not far from there at all! Sadly won’t be returning unless it gets a massive makeover!
Portsmouth is actually a nice area as I lived there for many years it's a shame they don't update there hotels and everything eles as it makes it look awful xx
Thanks for watching Kirstie! We love Portsmouth (Paul used to work down there sometimes), and we love Gunwharf! Just that hotel needed a huge makeover! 😂😂😂
Is there a website where you can get prices for their cruises or do you have to ring for prices
They do have a website, but maybe speak to Tom first at Tom_morrow_travels on facebook/instagram? He’s a travel agent outside of the day job and can sometimes get agent extras vs booking direct…
mmm mike is a bit of ok
Hehehe thanks for watching! We’ll let him know!
🤣£100 too much! Worse place ive ever stayed in had the lumpyiest bed ever, someones clothes in wardrobe & dead moths in kettle, breakfast consisted of the cheapest bread & sausages possible, needless to say passed on b/fast. Couldn't wait to leave found out it was used in week for contractors. Think we were fitted in as it was last minute. So they used that contractors room hence all the clothes in the wardrobe 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 We didn’t actually book it so we hadn’t got a choice! Just like fawlty towers! It’s a one and wish we hadn’t done! 😂😂😂 Thanks for setting sail with us!
🥂🫡👍💜👨❤️👨
Thanks for watching!
