Honestly, it's been the highlight of my Saturday night. Really love the Pringle song and, of course, everything else. You're very entertaining, and you never fail to make me laugh😂. X
Another fantastic vlog Jamie. I do think you should write a food critic column in the Sunday Times. The description of the Asian inspired vegan pie nearly killed me 😂. Also the haters out there……diplomatically tell them do do one 😉.
hi jamie we are going on iona in just over 2wks , we will be booking some extra pay restaurants but i'm really confused as to which ones are really worth the experience, any advice? this will be our first time on iona but our 2nd ever cruise last year we traveled on ventura and found the whole experience just magical , it was also my first ever time abroad and what a better way to start then to visit not just 1 place but 4 different ports love watching your videos definitely giving me ideas of things i'd like to experience if my husband lets me that is
Hopefully you watched my reviews of all the restaurants and where I filmed the menus - you can only decide based on which menus you prefer, I’d say! They are all worth it depending on your tastes
Absolutely loved this and you. Very entertaining and you’re so very funny. Loved Germany walk. Never saw anything like those big barrels you can dine in on the street! Thank you for sharing. You’re loved and adored. ⚓️❤️🙏
Loved this one JJ! I need to keep a pad and paper next to me to write the funniest bits down or the bits where I get it…the jokes! Making me want to cruise but don’t think I can cruise without you! Xx
We loved this vlog Iona is one of our favourite ships… and how strange to bump into more people when your semi-naked 😂 Looking forward to the next 2 episodes 😊
Going on my first cruise in September… I’m 57 and going with my girlfriend… My husband is very jealous!!😂 going on the Iona to the Norwegian fjords…. Find your cruise of logs, very informative and interesting…😊
Praise again Jamie I'm afraid 😂 You are so natural, real, and yourself. Fab vlog again. By the way the music you choose is great and enhances the viewing experience. You and Mafoo responsible maybe and Mafoo's editing is ace.
Jamie we loved this!!! Reliving our trip all over again. You do such a brilliant job of explaining so many processes on board and gave some amazing tips. Ooo like a virgin - Madonna! Ah we saw ourselves swimming! Cracking pipes on you Jamie! Hope your man cold didn't turn into man flu - we've heard that's deadly! Ok how did you avoid the rain in Bremen!!! We got soaked! Schnoor was amazing and we did the Christmas shop too! Bremen was just stunning! Sindu was incredible - best food we had on board. Our service in sindu was incredible. Amazing food. Omg - it's us!! Thanks so much for popping us in! We've had about 12 subs today!! You're a legend. Our first Iona vlog is out tomorrow #yourenotinit !!! You're in your 2nd vlog a week tomorrow. You're a #legend #allroundlovelyguy cheers 🍻
this cruise was my 1st ever. I think we met on the 2nd day when we were at sea. My friend took a picture of us both and every time I see it, it puts a smile on my face. Meeting you really made my holiday!
Great part 1. Spotted myself a couple of times (Crows Nest meet-up and silent disco!). Loved the look of Bremen. I wasn’t brave enough to diy it by train ourselves. Sophie and I did the Klimahaus in Bremerhaven which was really enjoyable but would definitely look at getting to Bremen if there was a next time.
On my break on my night shift and I hope I didn’t wake anyone else when you said about the PG13 sculpture Jamie, I did LOL 😂 you do cheer me up on my night shifts Jamie.. Bremen (?) looks like a lovely town …. Thank you for sharing 😊
Another enjoyable vlog. Thank you. No trolling here because you used a suites only restaurant for breakfast, I quite like seeing how the other half (5%?) live. I assure you it won’t ruin any future cruises.
Absolutely loved it. I’m off on the same cruise 30th March shame you’re not on it 😢 keep the blogs coming I love them. As a solo cruiser your vlogs are so helpful ❤️
Of course.well my girlfriend and i have never been on a cruise so watching your videos is giving us food for thought.what makes your videos so good is the detail you go into about food ,what the cabins are like etc and your views are very fair.so thanks again and mabye we might see you on a cruise sometime and i will buy you a cocktail or 2 😂😂
Great vid many thanks 👍🏻 looking forward to the R'dam one . Next time you're there check out de Ballentent on the waterfront by Het Part close to Euromast - best meatballs in Holland 🍴
If I can't cruise as often as I dearly would love to, I can at least pretend I am with you!! So here we go again ❤. As a silly side note: my daughter, Michaela, has just renewed her passport and now has a proper UK blue one 💙 (I am so jealous!) It was seeing yours at the start that prompted this. And before you say, I still have 3 years to go on my red one and I'm too mean to do it sooner! Now let's carry on please. 😊
I love watching your vlogs your so helpfull and informative thank you so much. Me and my fiance are cruising 3rd may 2025 our first time and your hints and tips have helped so much. x
@@TravelBlogJamie i absolutely love watching your vlogs Jamie the best cruise vlogger out there 😎 Loved meeting you last year (highlight of the cruise ) 😀see you on Thursday and i cannot wait for the end of next Month 🥃🍺😀x
On your recommendation , I tried the dhosa and it was yummy, I had the fillet steak and that was wonderful too. I think you had quite a lucky break going to Bremen. Better than Hamburg , perhaps they might change the future visits.
We’re on the Iona when you’re getting on the Arcadia in May (I’ll wave if I see you). I like to get on the ship and book what I can’t book from home. I’m sure I can navigate around the ‘app thats not an app’ but with having to get the last four digits from your key card do you have to wait until you can get to your room? On royal Caribbean that’s not until about 2:30 😢
Hi jamie, just wanted to ask you did you find out if you can have breakfast in the epicuran if you pay when your not stauing in a suite , hope you had a fab cruise ❤
Not sure if you’ve watched the other parts yet but the transfers to Bremen / Bruges were via P&O / your personaliser and everything else I did independently and all signposted in the vids. Have fun!
Love your videos Must say when you said about Arcadia Sindhu It is a proper cruise ship the huge cruise ships are not Our fave ships are Aurora & Arcadia for obv reasons then Ventura for the no fly to Caribbean 35 days Keep sailing 😂
Hi Jamie, great vlog. When you get on Iona, are you able to find the 6 digit code somewhere other than the cruise card to logon to the App/website ? I’d like to book things asap if possible.
It’s a little secret to book the activities you can’t before hand whilst waiting in the departure lounge prior to boarding….shhh…don’t tell too many people!
Hi Jamie. Please can you tell me if you have taken a cruise only cruise and arranged your own flight and transportation and did you find it an easy procedure.Love your videos. Take care.
Hi Debbie - I’m really sorry but I don’t understand the Q. This is a cruise to the Netherlands / Germany from Southampton and back - no flight required. Unless I’ve misunderstood?
@@TravelBlogJamie Sorry you're unclear on my question. I'd like to know if you have booked a cruise only cruise in the past where you have to arrange your own flight & transportation to & from the ship,
@@debbieball900 yes, princess cruises from Los Angeles and also Fort Lauderdale. Simple process of booking a flight and cruise separately but when further afield we arrive at least a day or 2 in advance in case of delays and to explore
@TravelBlogJamie I have started 🤣🤣 I have seen the point where it has changed. Hopefully should finish the 1st part tonight in UK! 🇬🇧 Wherever you are Jamie hope your well 😊😊😊🩵🩵🩵
That was not how the North Sea was in February 2022 🤢 admittedly we were cruising Norway but oh my goodness it was rough at times. We couldn’t make anticipated speed due to the weather and everything breakable was moved to the floor and balcony furniture was tied up!
I find the SkyDome acts (not the singers) a bit weird - sort of a cut price Cirque du Soleil with all the things that make this those shows worth watching. I think the troupe behind them are tripping.
Here we go! It’s the main event! Part 1 of 3.
Honestly, it's been the highlight of my Saturday night. Really love the Pringle song and, of course, everything else. You're very entertaining, and you never fail to make me laugh😂. X
Awww thank you so much!
Absolutely love it Jamie. You're one sarnie short of a picnic, and that's what we all love !. Looking forward to part 2 !.
Lol 😆
@@TravelBlogJamie only one sandwich?
Your videos do genuinely make me laugh. I work from home and they keep company whilst working
That’s so nice to hear - thank you 🙏
My favourite cruise ship. Never tire seeing her 😍😍
She’s a beaut
Love the Pringles on your pillow for turndown.

You know me, always diplomatic lol 😆
hi jamie we are going on iona in just over 2wks , we will be booking some extra pay restaurants but i'm really confused as to which ones are really worth the experience, any advice?
this will be our first time on iona but our 2nd ever cruise last year we traveled on ventura and found the whole experience just magical , it was also my first ever time abroad and what a better way to start then to visit not just 1 place but 4 different ports
love watching your videos definitely giving me ideas of things i'd like to experience if my husband lets me that is
Hopefully you watched my reviews of all the restaurants and where I filmed the menus - you can only decide based on which menus you prefer, I’d say! They are all worth it depending on your tastes

Not long then before that home time bell rings for the last time - I hope you both enjoy your future travels as much as we enjoy looking at them ❤
July!! Eeek!
We loved this vlog Iona is one of our favourite ships… and how strange to bump into more people when your semi-naked 😂
Looking forward to the next 2 episodes 😊
Lol 😆 Always happens!?
Great vlog Jamie. Bremen looks lovely. Looking forward to Part 2. Chin chin ❤
It’s a very lovely place ❤️
So very wonderful! spotted ourselves in the background already :) what a magical week
Hooraaaah!!
Brilliant. You took priority over the rest of the weeks tv! Lots of laughs as always. We've got a box of after eights ready for turndown!
Oh that’s a great idea!!
Bremen looks lovely
It’s beautiful
Really enjoyed seeing the peninsular lunch. It’s not often mentioned on vlogs, even ones staying in mini suites.
Well it was a first for me so I had to show it ❤️❤️❤️
Great vlog as always. I laughed out loud a few times … especially at the statue with the hanging balls 🤣 🤣
Lol 😆 I felt like I had to warn folk in advance 😆
Wow! What a great Vlog. Can"t wait for part 2. Wunderschon.
Great first part of your latest adventure. Can’t wait until the next one ❤
Thanks Andy

No, Caribbean and above

How far ahead can you book 710 club? Only once on board?
Yes once onboard and usually from 4pm on embarkation day

Think it’s the last 6 digits on the number on your boarding pass too
I think Andrew might be on to something but I’ve never looked as I always get my card as soon as I board
