Haha, was at Tims yesterday (Tim Horton) , yes it is a Canadian tradition even though not the best coffee. I like the donuts especially Timbits. As a Canadian there is always at least one in almost every community so it’s part of a lot of peoples, me included, daily or weekly routine.
Vancouver is beautiful and it does have a good deal of British historical influence. If your cruise goes to Victoria that has way more visible Britishness about it. Enjoy your cruise the west coast is amazing to see. I’ll be watching your posts from southern Alberta. Have a great time!
Thanks so much Christine, we were so excited to be In Canada. And yes haha we were adamant before we went that we wanted to try a Tim Hortons in Canada 😁. Thanks so much for watching
That was a very long day! Heathrow can get crazy busy but having a Harry Potter Shop to visit is always a plus. Then did make us LOL with the no Diving in the shower, not seen that before!
Thanks so much Paul and Carole 😍
That travel day reminds me why I like to cruise from Southampton!
Haha alot more tiring but was worth it to see Alaska 😁
Well lookee here. First one, Kev and Stacey? See you soon!
That’s was great, the exasperated husband faces Kev pulls are hilarious, looking forward to the rest of the series!
Haha 😁 thanks Ian
I stayed at the Metropolitan Hotel, which is a Marriott property there in downtown Vancouver. It was very nice back in April after getting off of the cruise ship. Also, it’s an easy trip to get on their subway to downtown from the airport if you don’t have too much baggage.
I didn't know this was a thing I am thinking about this .Going from Manchester will be so much easier.
Yes it definitely easier if like us it only cost £10 more. Wasn't worth driving to Heathrow then
My sons are both 6'6". we have to do business class, so we go less often. I love Vancouver and we always stay at the Pan Pacific right above the cruise ships.
Great travel day , knackered watching you ,
Thanks Paul, how are you?
@@OneCouplesAdventure doing well need a little catch up on your Alaskan cruise, see your seeing penn n teller soon, we’re staying at park hall farm near you this weekend 👍
Hi you two. That was definitely a long travel day. Alaska is beautiful and is still my favorite destination. Loved it and everyone was so welcoming. Can't wait to see all your adventures!!
It was a long tiring day but totally worth it lol. Alaska is so beautiful 😍
Agree at about terminal 5 we flew to and from Jersey recently and found it very chaotic. When we arrived back it took longer to get the bags then the flight from Jersey. Looking forward to the vlogs, we were in vancouver this time last year but we had 4 days we got the sky train to the airport from our downtown hotel.We went into vancouver from seattle we should have gone 9n the train but it hadn't restarted following covid so had to go by bus.After vancouver we flew to San Francisco and had to do a covid test so all the time we were in vancouver we were worried about getting covid and not being able to get back into America but we were ok
Sounds like a nightmare you had at Heathrow but seems like you had a great time. We would of loved longer in Vancouver, we will definitely be back one day
Hell of a long travel day but you are both very lucky to have understanding employers with all the holidays you have, yes I’m jealous 😮 However, hope you are having or had a great time, I did Alaska many years ago in 2004 with Celebrity, loved it 😊
I’m loving watching these blogs. We had hoped to cruise from Vancouver this year but decided on cruising from the uk. I hate flying… I’m claustrophobic and HATE going to the loo on a place!
Hi there what a good video keep up the good work hope you are well
Thanks so much
Safe travel to you guys looking forward for more content soon.
Have the most amazing time , this one is on my to do list ,so can't wait to see what you think , enjoy !! 😊
Looking forward to seeing your Vancouver review, I visited some years ago and loved it ! I visited Alaska some years later, Fairbanks well worth a visit ! Have fun, looking forward to more of your Vids ! 😀
Hi thanks so much Geoff, glad you also enjoyed Vancouver
We have been to Vancouver twice always go to tim Hortons and you need to try a beavertails
Love the harry potter shop, i also hate paying for over priced airport food but i think i would of brought something with that layover
if you at heathrow for a few hours i highly recommend getting lounge access, there are a few options and you get (most) booze / hot/cold drinks are included plus a buffet and various snacks, plus it's alot calmer than being out in the main hall area.
Thanks Dave and yes this is something we'll definitely look at doing in the future. Would be nice to sit somewhere a bit quieter
We did Alaska cruise last year loved Vancover. Do the hop on hop off bus if you only have a day you will see all the main sites
Hi glad you loved it too. And we have already done our day in Vancouver but thanks so much for the tip, we did see these buses but we already had other plans. We would get on one again next time. A useful tip for others too 👍😁
Have an amazing time guys
Thanks so much Emma
Welcome to Canada! We are heading to Alaska in September!
Thank you and how wonderful for you too. Not too far away for you, will soon come around 😁
Enjoyed your first premiere, Kev and Stacey. Love clean windows too! 🤣🤣Looking forward to the whole series.
Thanks so so much Dave and Kathy. We love and appreciate you so much ❤️
Definitely looking forward to watching this series as want to do an Alaskan cruise soon, hoping to combine with the Rocky Mountaineer train 🤞
Really enjoyed this - looking forward to seeing the rest of the vlogs.
Thanks Jackie
Great vlog from you both,I'm surprised you didn't fly direct from Manchester? We did back in 2009.We stayed just outside Vancouver,at a friends home in Maple Ridge,and we often went into, and around Vancouver,Its a fantastic city ,and yes Canadians are do friendly..and the city is so clean!
Hi glad you also loved Vancouver and no couldn't get a direct flight form Manchester 😒😁
@@OneCouplesAdventure Ok,it makes sense now,I travelled with a company called Canadian Affair,who used Thomas Cook Airlines,which sadly is no longer with us..
You both look excited but tired. Hope you had a great trip xx
We were knackered lol 😆
Just came across your channel and loved this video all subscribed cheers very very likeable couple full of energy and bubbly lol , ps if you’ve ever been to Harry Potter world in Watford I live opposite 👍
Thank you so much. Ye we have been the harry potter tour twice now. Both times stayed in the premier in next to a tgi's not too far away
I live in Victoria, British Columbia which is a ferry ride to Vancouver. I am taking my first Alaskan cruise in September out of Vancouver. I have cruised about 10 times but most were out of the Caribbean. My husband, who is English, loves cruising. His first cruise was in 2013. I know you want to experience Tim Hortons but actually in Canada McDonald's has th best coffee in my opinion. Everyone has a different opinion. Hope you enjoy your stay in Canada even though it is a short stay. Looking forward to seeing your Alaskan vlogs.
Thanks so much Joanne and really hope the videos give you an insight in what to expect. Am sure you will love it 😀
hi great review good info goin sept from crewe on same flights
Crewe? Not far from us at all. And that's brilliant hope you have a great time and the videos help you out and show you what to expect
Enjoyed the Vlog as usual. The 5 hour wait looked cruel at Heathrow !! Have you ever tried the Airport lounges ? We find them great usually quieter and all your food and drinks are included. Looking forward to Alaska vlogs.
Hi Barry and yes it is definitely something we will do next time, anything more than a couple of hours layover and we'll be purchasing the lounge lol
Hi guys ,
Would you ever do a Q&A would love to know more about you and travel questions too. ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Hi Sonia we hadn't really thought about it but yes that's definitely something we can do in the future if it's something people are interested in 😁
@@OneCouplesAdventure whoohoo 🎉🙏🎉🙏
Hi guys, love Vancouver since our son emigrated there from UK. Did the cruise to Alaska last June. You will have the most amazing time, especially if you get to see a bear. Enjoy.
Thanks so much Kev, that's so cool your son emigrated there. Have you been able to visit much? It is a wonderful place, wish we had more time there
Hey guys! Absolutely love your videos, so thanks for the regular uploads! So curious as to what you both do for work? You're way ahead of us on your cruise count! We run out of holiday time way too quickly
Hi Joe we both work full time at the moment. Kev is self employed and I have the option to work extra and accrue the time back in holiday which I take full advantage of. The videos do go out over a few months though so sometimes it looks like we are straight onto another when infact a few months has passed. We've been travelling like this long before we even started youtube. 14 years exactly lol.(new to crusing though) Hopefully the plan is to travel fulltime in the near future 😁
Aww, you guys do make me smile...the delirious comment at the end 😂 Would love to visit Canada but I'm not sure I can stand the airport and the long flights anymore 🙄 Can't wait to see the rest of your adventure...
Haha it is a long day and we couldn't wait get off the plane it was worth it once we were there lol
Hiya guys , lovely to see you on a new adventure, I only found you both last week! Can’t wait to see what you both get up to while on your holidays. Wishing you both the best time , I look forward to seeing and hearing from you soon ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Sarah really appreciate it 😊
We love your videos and did our first cruise this year ( to the Fjords) and we found your videos so helpful. We are hoping to go to Alaska next year and just wondering who you booked your cruise through? 😀 🛳
Got it Cruise Nation - I have just got to that part in the video, I didn't spot that the first time I watched it😀
Hi hope you enjoyed your first cruise and yes haha it was cruise nation, we will do a video soon of what we booked and how much it all cost to give people an idea 😁
Do you have claustrophobia or cleithrophobia Stacey? I have the latter (worsening over the last 4 years) and the reason we're booked on a couple of cruises this year (first time cruiser) is so we can drive to Genoa (4hrs for us) and have a great holiday without having to fly. I'm fine being in the air, but I can't stand being confined when not moving, like a delay, or when I'm seated and the aisle is packed with people, or locked bathrooms!! Same with the subways or the crowded buses that shuttle you from the terminal to the plane (and then leave you locked in there while they get the plane ready). So we may need to get used to Mediterranean cruises until I can confidently get back to flying. Anyway, enjoy Vancouver and looking forward to reading the rest of your adventure. Marc
Ah this is really interesting Marc, I always assumed it was claustrophobia but have been reading up on Cleithrophobia and it definitely seems more like this. As with me it's not necessarily I'm scared of small spaces it's just any sized space where I feel I could become trapped. Even Rollercoasters its not the ride itself it's the feeling of the bars trapping me in the seat. Guess we all have a fear of something, not nice one to have though. Sorry you experience it too. Rubbish isn't it 😒
@@OneCouplesAdventure Same with me, from a child I always assumed I had claustrophobia, but it's more the feeling of be trapped and unable to escape, no matter the size. Anyway, enough of the phobias LOL. Go enjoy yourselves.
Haha thanks Marc 😊
Same thing happened to me with 3 mobile to Vancouver and recently to Norway contact them and they will cancel the charge
Thanks Andrew. Going to give them a call, good to hear they sorted yours out 😁
maybe try caribou poutine in Liverpool not been yet but somewhere me and missus are going to try ,certainly alot closer than Canada
Thanks for that Will, Liverpool not too far for us so we'll definitely check that out 👍
@One Couples Adventure as a fellow stokie thought you might Try it out perhaps a review as well from you would be good ?
How did guys look so great after 24hrs?? I fly 3 hours and always look like im.ready to take a jailhouse mug shot haha
Hahaha did we lol. Must of been the lighting in the room. Maybe it was dark enough cover the bags under our eyes lol 😆
Sos meant come on lol😂
The telephone charge is quite expensive....I pay only £10 pounds for a whole month whenever I travel to the States with EE.....Hope you guys have a great time though........
Is canada included in that? The usa is included in my package but canada isn't. We had an amazing time thanks
One on Stacy go toilet lmao or how about incontinence pants lol
Hahahaha 🤣 🤣🤣. It would have to be incontinence pads before I had to go the toilet and lock the door 🙈
Hi can i ask what suitcases you have, how long youve had them anf they are really travel proof? Also how much you paid for them. ive seen you with these for some time now. Thank you
Hi they are from the brand I.T a few years ago now, we have certainly had our moneys worth though as we have used them a lot. They are a bit scratched and dented due to wear and tear so we have got some new ones as backup. We will still keep these ones too just in case
@OneCouplesAdventure thank you so much Stacey and Kev your response has really helped.
Hey guys, was the flight from Heathrow and Vancouver hotel extra?
Hi we booked it all as a package. Will eventually do a video on how much it all cost
Been watching g your videos a while now. We’ve just finished our 3rd cruise on Iona. Only done PnO so far. Very British what we like. Any advice on booking a Alaska cruise. My hubby really would like to do this cruise. But we prefer a package with flights included. Not having to book seperate flights and cruise as this looks quite expensive to do seperatly. Any advice on if you booked a package with agent or direct with cruise company. We have always done direct with cruise company and found better deal… we looking for 2025
Hi Jane and thanks so much and we booked it through a company called cruise nation and it was done as a package. We priced it up the same individually just to see the difference and the exact same holiday was cheaper as a package with them so that's what we went for. Also gave us the security of knowing it was a package. Hope as they videos go out they will give u a good idea of what to expect from an Alaskan cruise. We are also going to do a video on costs etc to give people an idea. Have you not thought of doing the P&O arvia if you liked the Iona? The arvia is the next one we will be reviewing 😁
Thank you for your reply. And information. And yes we have looked at Arvia.
You can't do this to me guys I hate waiting for things 😊
Haha not too long 🤣
It’s definitely not you! Coffee always makes me need a poo!
Hahahaha 🤣 🤣Katie 🙈🙊
