    Great series as ever! Doing this itinerary on Iona next June and can't wait to go to a lot of the places you've vlogged about. Also great to see the food options. It's been 9 years since I've been on P&O and now I can't wait!

    Love the fun videos and always love that you show the FULL menus which no other cruise vlogger I’ve seen does! I’m a bit of a fussy eater, don’t touch seafood, fish or mushrooms which appear throughout most menus, so great to see the full menus and what I could pick 👍🏻

    We did this exact same Viking tour last year, but went to the farm first and then the museum and church. We definitely missed out as most the farm buildings were shut including the boat house. We were pretty underwhelmed, but looks like it is much improved now.

    Wasn't it a wet and miserable day! We did the same excursion as you but we went to the Viking Village first. I thought both the village and the museum were interesting. I wish we had more time in the museum. I felt a bit rushed and there was so much to see.
    Glad you enjoyed the Olive Grove. So did we!

    Never been to Haugesund either, but may have sailed by there at night on Hurtigrutin at night in August! Sorry it was raining, but you did get some good video through the rainy windows. The shell damage from WWII is interesting. The Viking Village looks like a great place to visit-nice filming/editing. Yes, ship excursions mean you don’t have to think! Meet-up with FB group was a good idea. The kabobs on the chain looked interesting…I love baklava! Bad that you had reservations to the show and couldn’t get in. Lovely sunset. Hope the shingles have calmed down.😢

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  Год назад

      Its a typical Norwegian Coastal town, lots of people just went for a walk to town, but we really enjoyed the village!
      Baklava is the best! :)
      Thank you, still painful but getting there :)
