Looks like you had a wonderful and very warm, active day in Wales. That lighthouse was spectacular! Love the coordinated outfits at dinner, you look lovely in orange Jill! Not everyone can pull off that colour. 👍
That's wonderful to hear. We heard the next ports were the Baltic but we had to leave for the Mediterranean. Hopefully you have a great time at those ports.
We’ve watched your video of Holyhead and the Southstack Lighthouse, and we’re wondering how you booked the taxi to the Lighthouse. We’re going to Holyhead on the Princess Regal in October and after watching your video, we absolutely have to get to the Lighthouse, but there’s not much on the internet on how get there. So any details about the cab would be greatly appreciated! Love your videos….there’re extremely helpful!
It was a challenge for sure to figure out how to get a cab. We literally walked up to a local road and started calling cab companies. It took many tries to get one that would come to the port and then to the lighthouse. We then had to insure that the cab came back on time to bring us back to the ship on time. We had to pay cash with British pounds, no credit care or other currency. Also (this may sound weird) but it was very hard to understand the Welsh!! They have a thick accent and many normal speak Welsh. Thanks for watching and good luck!
We have family in Newfoundland. We did our first ever vlogs in Newfoundland. Check out those vlogs here... ruclips.net/p/PL6r-GtjfHs4sJSv2WzoOHMyJhzt9np4zN
Yes we would do it again. We found that Carnival offered a very reasonable rate and we knew that the draw was for us to go to all the amazing locations. We could of cruised with a more expensive line but we were happy that we were able to go for a longer time period by choosing to cruise Carnival.
Another great video! I definitely loved the lighthouse! I guess the last thing the keeper says to his relief is "Don't forget your key!" Also, I may have missed it, but when did Carnival Corp declare war on Canada?
You wouldn't want to forget ANYTHING when heading to that lighthouse for a period of time - the walk is no joke! I believe first shots were fired by Carnival when they removed Crown Royal from the ships(edit: or should I say bars, as it was still in the shops) earlier in 2022.
I like tendering in a lifeboat. Impressive stamina doing all those stairs and hiking. 😅 Dinner seemed underwhelming, especially that pasta and the side veg. How are you finding food on regular nights as opposed to gala nights? Do you tire of the choices after so long on a ship? Our longest cruise has been 11 days so I wonder about that.
We found the food consistant and good (not great.) It often tasted better than the presentation suggested. More lavish options on formal night but still the same. One thing we like about Carnival's menu is that there's lots to choose from - so we did see repeat menus after 12 days, but there were always alternatives that we wanted to try and a couple favs we had a second time.
We had a couple monitors here were it looked red, but orange on our bigger TV. Thanks for the superchat during the live on Sunday - closer to tht parasailing!
Hi Jill and Jerry, enjoying your Vlogs immensely. Thank you. Have you considered cruises departing Sydney, Australia. Choices include Pacific Islands, New Zealand and Australia. Cheers Margaret
Maybe one day! That is one of our big bucket-list cruise destinations for sure. We are looking at something like that in the Fall of 2024 - but not sure we can make it work that soon. One day for sure.
Wow, Carnival really took you off the beaten path! Holyhead looks amazing! As you show us more of the ship, I feel conflicted. On one hand, a lot of the public spaces of the Carnival Pride look surprisingly elegant. I take it this is a ship they often use for European cruises? On the other, it looks a little dated compared to videos I've seen of newer ships like the Virgin ships, the Norwegian Prima, and even Carnival's own Mardi Gras. From your own experience on the ship, did it look and feel like it's been properly renovated?
It was a great little spot to stop! The Carnival Pride was last refurbished in 2019. It's certainly dated, and the original design choices make it look even more dated than it should. They've upgraded a few spaces (like the Alchemy Bar and Bonsai sushi) that are more modern. We knew all this going into the cruise and considered the ports the highlight and the ship more of a hotel - we are also used to the flamboyant style of that class of ship. We are on the same class of ship again in December, and it'll be interesting to see how it compares.
Y’all look fantastic! I love the coordinating colors and Jill’s dress is to die for!! Orange or red.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
How brave you two adventurous people are. Steep and scary!!! Well done! Gorgeous. Thanks for your efforts to create wondrous content.❤
Thank you so much! We just loved the UK!
WOW ..for the AVE MARIA 🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻
What a glorious day you had to go to the lighthouse (well except for the heat). Love the hula girls shirt and Jill's orange dress.
It was warm but better than the alternative of rain and cold - such a beautiful spot, just a little off the beaten path. Loved it!
@@CruisingCanucks Oh man, I couldn't imagine trying those stone steps in the rain.
Orange looks wonderful on Jill because she is an Autumn.

A totally unexpected great day - what a beauty of a spot, that reminded us of the East Coast of Canada.
We were in Carnival Pride from August 21 to September 2 to cruise the Baltics. Your videos bring back amazing memories
That's wonderful to hear. We heard the next ports were the Baltic but we had to leave for the Mediterranean. Hopefully you have a great time at those ports.
That lighthouse place is amazing! Added to my bucket list. Love how you guys "clean up"(🤩). Very elegant.
Yes we can be a hot mess during our daily adventures - but a shower, shave and makeup makes us presentable again. ;)
Holyhead is one of our ports on our cruise this June. Was it tough walking back from the lighthouse? Looks all up hill 😆
It was definitely a workout. We stopped part way in a bench for a few moments. Some of our friends didn’t go the whole way because it was difficult.
Become a bourbon drinker. I saw Buffalo Trace in the bar there. Or try Woodford Reserve if they have it.
Woodford Reserve is my backup if I can't get Crown Royal
Oh no, got a little red at the lighthouse. Great video as always! Loved your shoutout on Carole and Paul’s channel
Thanks so much - we can't wait to be cruising WITH Paul and Carole in 2023 - more to come on that in the months ahead!
@@CruisingCanucks I'm looking forward to seeing you with them. That'll be a fun time for sure.
Lovely and Practical FRENCH BRAID Jill
Did you have it done at the Ship Hair Salon ??
Nice Dress & Shirt …I see it ORANHE
Jill does the braid by herself - she says it’s really easy when u get used to it.

@@CruisingCanucks Awesome. I will watch those vlogs for sure :)
First port already looks like it was a great trip. Would you do this cruise again? (itinerary and ship)
