    Hi everyone, hope you enjoy the vlog! Here’s a breakdown of costs for anyone asking:
    The cruise was £442.50 per person based on 2 sharing a balcony cabin. I didn’t opt for the drinks package, you can take a bottle of alcohol on board with you and the bars are reasonably priced in my opinion to pay as you go. I booked it through SeaScanner and used a discount code they had at the time.
    Train to Southampton from London was £23 return, you can get advance singles from £6.
    Coach + Keukenhof ticket 36 euro + approx 20 euro Uber each way to the coach departure point from the cruise terminal. You can also book this as an excursion with P&O.
    Evening canal boat tour 19 Euro.
    Hope that helps! 😀

    What a wonderful trip - the flowers in the Keukenhof gardens are stunning - and I loved the diving ducks! Such beautiful floral displays, and I remember that the perfume in the glasshouses was just amazing. It was good to have time in Amsterdam as well, and the mini cruise made it extra special. Thank you for taking us along to enjoy it all.

    Hi Mr. Carrington. I started binging your channel at about Christmas time and I am about halfway through through (I have gone backwards then decided to start at the beginning). I had just watched your trip to Amsterdam in 2019 when you posted this one. I haven't been to Amsterdam but it reminds me of Copenhagen. I absolutely loved seeing Copenhagen by boat when I was there. Thanks for the little tour today ❤

    Hi Mr Carrington. I'd love to see you on a cruise. Ventura looks pretty good. You can ask the steward to change the beds to a queen. I looked the towel animals and the cake was brilliant. You can't have a drinks package on cruises less than 5 days. I like the short cruises, Amsterdam looks lovely in the sunshine. It rained constantly when I was there. The prices for the cruise are pretty good.

  • @juliebrooke6099
    @juliebrooke6099 2 месяца назад +2

    You can ask the steward to rearrange the beds if it’s not configured how you want. Great that you can get down to Southampton so easily and reasonably for a cruise.

    Mr C, thanks for your Ventura report. I’ll sail on her in Sep to Amsterdam so it must be the same itinerary as yours. I cruised on Fred Olsen’s Borealis when you were on Ventura to Rotterdam and Amsterdam. I missed Keukenhof this year because I toured to a clog workshop. I went to this tulip park last year on Saga’s old river ship. Maybe I’ll revisit the park next year on TUI’s river cruise I’ve booked. As for the evening canal cruise in Amsterdam, it wasn’t dark yet for us to appreciate the lights on the canal side. But we saw the Amsterdam sunset instead. I’ve booked an evening walking tour in town from Ventura. June of London
