Our stop in LeHavre was changed to Portland because of striking workers in France. We enjoyed Weymouth. All the shopkeepers were so friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our explorations. It is a lovely seaside village. It had better shopping than many of our previous Scandinavian ports with much better prices.
As a UK viewer it’s so lovely seeing Weymouth through your eyes, we have family in nearby Dorchester so know Weymouth well. If you ever find yourselves back there Nothe Fort is worth an explore, lovely views too. Also “birder” Dee would appreciate Chesil Beach between Portland and Weymouth,, nice little nature centre
Oh nice! We thought about visiting Portland Castle or the Nothe Fort but decided to have a fun shopping day. We’ll have to hit at least one of those next time around. Thanks for the tip about the nature center too!! :D
Portland Bill Lighthouse is worth a visit too :) When the 2012 Olympics were in London the watersports were in Weymouth and Portland and there are huge olympic rings on a viewpoint on Portland. Stay safe
We did indeed! I don’t think we have any European adventures in our 2025 other than the end of our “pole to pole” cruise, but hopefully we can insert some into 2026!! :D
I have a store near me (thrift store) that has free books Friday. Whenever I'm traveling, especially on a cruise I pick up a few books. Read and leave for the next person.
I did enjoy Weymouth on my last cruise, I only saw part, but loved the walkability. I think that construction was also there in 2023 😃 Like your overview of the place and charity shops. Also the send of in Portland was entertaining.
Great video. Weymonth was a beautiful town. Looking forward to your take on your stops in Spain. Went to University, lived in Spain for 15 years. Looking forward to your take as a visitor. Enjoy your extra day a drift while storm passing. Also like you showing the Sun (ship) more. Stay safe.
That’s awesome! Yes, with this being a new ship, we’ve enjoyed checking out the new offerings. We’ve got some Spain coming up in both this series and our Oceania series coming next!! :D
O'Malley's is so fun. My favorite evening venue when I was on the Enchanted 9/14-21. Yea if you want a seat you really need to come before food service begins and a few nights I stayed for all 3 sets. The songs are interactive and so fun and just a great vibe. I liked my Bailey's cheesecake when I had dined there, and the fish n chips was great for a main.
We’ve been twice now and made sure to get there well ahead of 5:00pm with great luck, even though food service didn’t start until half an hour later. Anything from about 5:45pm onward, not much chance of getting a seat!! :P
When we got diverted to Portland in May, it turned into a surprise favourite. There was a festival and fair going on at the same time, as it was a long weekend. It was fantastic. I highly recommend visiting.
We have plus and are doing next year's Transatlantic so my husband is watching this series with me! Yay! Our room is on deck 9 so we really appreciated your time on deck 9. Even though we start in Barcelona next year, we really enjoyed your day at Weymouth. Got any Barcelona in your future? Before Nov 2025?? 😁
Hey guys would you suggest going to the Sun Princess gym at 6 am? So O’ Malleys only serves dinner? Oh good to know thats a production show, I am premier it will help in planning…very cute town🙂🚢
I LOVE that you went Charity shopping, my favourite past time. I’d love to one day go Thrift shopping in the US 🇺🇸 on my bucket list !
Thrifting, strolling, snacking, and cruising in the same vlog 💖😎☕️oh my!
That little port town is right up my alley. I would definitely enjoy walking around checking out the shops and eateries.
There was a lot going on in a nice walkable little area. Castles, churches, good gracious!! :P
As a Brit, it's always fun to see places you know well through the eyes of foreigners!

Yesssss! We loved strolling through the shops, big and small. What a fun day!! :D
Other than your socks, sounds like a good warm snack drawer too!

I agree with you Dee. I loved Weymonth
Glad to hear it! We had a super fun day strolling and shopping!! :D
Glad you enjoyed another British port. Please come back soon!
We did indeed! I don’t think we have any European adventures in our 2025 other than the end of our “pole to pole” cruise, but hopefully we can insert some into 2026!! :D
What a very nice stop at that port
Definitely a cute place for a stroll and some shopping!! :D
My mum would have a ball looking in all the charity shops! I'd probably have to physically drag her out of some of them!!
I knew you would love Weymouth. There is something special about English seaside towns 😊
I have a store near me (thrift store) that has free books Friday. Whenever I'm traveling, especially on a cruise I pick up a few books. Read and leave for the next person.
Ah, how awesome! Reader Dee would love that!! :P
My lovely home - so pleased you loved it!

The little port town looked like such a blast!
We needed a good chill shopping day, ha ha… but the whole beach promenade area was awesome to see!! :D

Looks like a great port. hugs
There’s a lot going on around there, and quite a few neighboring towns to explore. We had fun with our frugal adventure though!! :P
I love Weymouth. Only 1 and a half hours from our house.
Nice! Definitely a cute place for strolling!! :D

Got any Barcelona in your future? Before Nov 2025?? 😁
Nice! We’ve got an overnight call in Barcelona in late April 2025, so we’ll see what fun we can rustle up!! :P
Dee so easily pleased 😲
Waymouth as a college year aboard 1973 was a great weekend
Such a cute town for sure!! :D
Weymouth is a vibe! Also would it be fair to say that o’malleys qualified because isn’t Northern Ireland part of the UK?
Northern Ireland is indeed, so that works!! :P
Question: did you need local currency at each port or was it easier to just use a credit card?
We see this same comment on multiple videos, so excuse the copy paste, ha ha… we did a combination of both cards and local currency!! :D
Jay ur too funny

Not on our sailing from what I've heard. The gym was already full everyday when it opened. But we also had a lot of sea days.
I'm thinking the hurricane helped you complete all those books????
1887 - Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee
Just a word to the wise.. with used books.. check them for bed bugs.. seriously.. check them.. I know!!
He was playing an Irish whistle not a flute.
Yes, or “tin whistle” we’ve heard it called, which is technically a type of flute. What fun!! :D
Not a fan of that stage at main show when you sit on the side ☹️
Definitely a little strange, though they do try to play to all sides. We couldn’t see a lot of the dancing that happened upstage during the show!!
lol Irish and lite? Oh heck no
