    Great video.
    We were on the ship but never met you and Kate, nor did we even see some of the entertainment you did.
    It's amazing on a ship that size that some people you meet repeatedly, and others you see for the first time as you disembark.
    We made good friends with several new people. Our mum was the 90 year old who danced every evening with 2 walking sticks. She had a line of men waiting to dance with her. Some with 2 sticks, some with one, and one with no rhythm at all, but she inspired everyone.
    Bon voyaging!

    I’ve loved these cruise vlogs! Disappointing for you about the missed ports but you really don’t want to be in the Bay of Biscay in storm conditions, especially if you suffer from sea sickness. Welcome to the UK, it’s a shame the weather was poor but to be honest there’s not a lot to see in Southampton. It’s an industrial port town. Looking forward to Italy so I can revisit my memories from there!

    It was really enjoyable watching your Atlantic crossing. It's nice to see that you say there's so much to do. I've always felt that, so it surprises me to sometimes see comments about how boring a cruise can be with "nothing to do". If you cruise again, though...don't forget that it's a "ship", not a boat and it's a "cabin", not a room. :)

    Would have been awesome if you could have gotten a tour of engine room and machinery spaces.

I was there last year and did an excursion to Marrakech. It's one of the most interesting cities that I've visited. Not to be picky, but why lug around a backpack while ashore?? I always try to be as light as possible when out and about. Just an observation. 👍

    That's a very large ship how much of it's displacement that is it's weight can be assigned excess luxury ..my idea if part of traveling across oceans and seas is that it will anchor in many ports to visit..using the ship as a hotel while in ports..hypothetical by reducing extravagance can the ship be made more secure,safe,fast...with satellite internet and television as non live entertainment..instead of crossing Atlantic to the first port of call in 4 to 5 days ,because of increased speed with no loss of safety actually an increase the trip would be 3 1/2 days .Fyi the transatlantic fastest from NYC to UK is still held by the united states ocean liner of 1953.less than 4 days with 1800 passengers and 790 crew..with comfort, security,efficiency .. yep really progressing in Americas debt capitalism or more accurately globalized debt capitalism..million and millions of tons bread n Circus novelties,more added greenhouse gasses that makes one thing a short lived thrill .. summary if motivated for cross ocean sea travel to visit other lands these type of ships are not a great positive. Well if 5hey made them nuclear powered that would make them positive
