Hi Maureen , Thank you for the information it’s always good to hear from someone who has experienced a particular cruise line . We have heard good things about the crew on Marella so we are looking forward to it . We have chosen the Premium Drinks package so we intend to make the most of it . Thanks again Maureen for the info and of course for watching our vlogs it’s much appreciated. X👋👋

Thanks Sharnie , glad you enjoyed them .As we said on the last one we didn’t get the drinks package. With our onboard credit our bill for the week was approximately £65 .So it definitely wouldn’t have been worth it . Thanks very much for watching and for the comment.X👋👋

Morning Mandy , I was like some lousy flea ridden dog 🤣 couldn’t stop scratching. Of course you don’t pack , leave it all to the blokes 😂🤣 . Thanks for watching Mandy XX👋👋

Hi Sue , thank you so much for that fantastic message. Glad to hear that you enjoy the vlogs . We try and stay as natural as possible when we record them , so it is good to hear that it comes over that way . Pearl certainly likes to get up on that dance floor , one of her favourite things to do . Sounds like a great itinerary you have for your Azura cruise, hope you have a brilliant time. Thanks again Sue , we really do appreciate such positive feedback , and of course thank you very much for watching. Have a great time 🚢XX👋👋

Thanks Jackson , we have some Cunard QM2 vlogs starting in a couple of weeks. Can’t always get the Captains announcement as we don’t always have it on in the cabin . Appreciate your comment Jackson , and thank you very much for watching 👋👋

Poor Pearl , all those different names I call her 😂😂, glad you enjoyed it Sarah. I will remind Jade to do the honours . Thanks Sarah XX👋👋❤️

Hi Rae , thank you that is very kind and very much appreciated . It was our first time on Azura but as we said we chose it for the ports . Especially Split and Kotor they were great . Azura itself is a bit tired in places but it didn't stop us having a really enjoyable time .I Really couldn't tell you if any of the venues have changed or not . We would definitely go back on it if we found the itinerary that suits .Thanks very much for watching Rae , and we do appreciate you taking the time to comment .XX👋👋

Thanks Marc , glad you enjoyed it . For us it was a no brainer concerning the drinks package . With 4 ports on a 7 night cruise there was no way we would get our moneys worth . As we said we just drank when we felt like it . Most of the time to be fair 😂. Thanks for watching this series of vlogs Marc , and we do appreciate your positive and supportive comments 👋👋🍷

Sorry Amanda it had to be done ,it was like being in a Zoo . She took it well though as she always does , luckily for me 😂😂 . November will soon be here , not wishing our lives away but time does seem to go by very quickly .😩. 😂 Brooke Bond Pearl likes to keep me in my place . I don't mind a little bit of rough as it goes , the seas I'm talking about 😂 it makes the cruise a little bit more exciting..Thank you both for watching , you really are most kind to still be trawling your way through those vlogs .XX 👋👋❤️❤️

​@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 your both very welcome ..its better than TV 😅

Hi Debs , thank you so much for your lovely message. We are really flattered that we are one of your favourites . Also it’s great to hear that you can laugh along with some of our antics. Hope you have a fantastic time on Britannia. Funny you should mention that ship as we are booked to go on her in January , back to the Caribbean . Will be great to hear what you think of her after her refit . Thanks again Debs and thank you for watching our vlogs . XX👋👋

Thank you for your reply ☺️ that's brilliant your going on britannia in January and hope you have a fab time and will look forward to your vlogs 🌄

Morning Guys , I told you that Pearl didn’t have her nappy on properly . That’s why they shut the hot tub 😂. Exactly when you know you’re going home you just want to get there . Even if you have had a great time . Never will I be able to empty Pearls purse , it’s like a bottomless pit. She is like a squirrel hoarding it away 😂. Ship is very tired , we knew that before we went , but we were looking more at the itinerary. Definitely better than being at home . We think make memories while we are able , and before we are too old to forget the memories that we have just made 😂🤣. Take care both of you , always great to hear from you . Xx👋👋

Hi A+J , Pebble Lodge was great , it’s a beautiful place right near the Jurassic Coast . It was a little break before our Daughter went back to work. Yes that was Poppy’s first little holiday, bless her . She makes a lot more noise now 🤣😂😱. You might hear her when we go on our Amsterdam cruise. Thanks for watching A+J really appreciate it . Have a good week.XX👋👋❤️❤️

Morning A+J ,it’s that flea bitten bloke replying to your comment.😂🤣 Must put on more moisturiser 🤣. I do enjoy a good scratch I have my own special tree in the garden 🤣. Thank you J I do like a bit of Boss, smart but not too young looking. . Appreciate the mention and compliment 🙏. You can’t beat a good Eggs Benedict especially when the egg is cooked just right .Glad you enjoyed the Azura vlogs , we certainly had fun onboard. No your the ones who deserve all the thanks , for you continued support, your always positive and complimentary comments it really is appreciated. Cunard will be with you in a couple of weeks XX❤️❤️👋👋🥂🚢

Morning Rene , really pleased that you enjoyed the final episode of our cruise on Azura we enjoyed the food to be fair , it wasn’t mind blowing but for mass catering it was fine . Max was my hero , loved his style and the music he played. Our weather is rubbish , cooler and wetter . Glad you are getting your much needed rain Great to hear from you Rene , take care and hopefully speak again in a couple of weeks. XX👋👋

Thanks Gill , that’s very kind of you . Our Cunard vlogs should start in a couple of weeks. So hopefully you will enjoy them . We are still the same on Cunard 😂 Pearl still has to put up with my constant leg pulling.😂 . Many thanks for your lovely kind comment.XX👋👋

Hi Guys , really appreciate you watching, glad that we gave you a giggle. Cunard vlogs should be in a couple of weeks. Thanks again XX👋👋

Good Evening Al , thank you as always . Sorry Pearl got you a bit emotional 😭 she does well up quite easily.😂. As for the lady dancing, that’s exactly what I said 😂 I’m no John Travolta but I thought she was completely out of sync . Man crush 😂 , Pearl kept pulling my leg but it was just the sort of music I like . I’m afraid once I start having a good scratch I find it hard to stop, must have knits 😫. We play a sort of rummy , a bit more to it nothing too taxing. I lived there for three years when my Dad was in the Navy, I was very young at the time . Thanks for watching Al , and thank you for all your great comments over these last weeks . It’s been very much appreciated.XX👋👋❤️❤️🥂

Thanks Denise, really pleased you enjoyed them , hopefully it came over how much we enjoyed the cruise. Cunard adventure should be in a couple of weeks. Thanks as always for watching our Azura vlogs .X❤️👋

We knew we wouldn’t get into the glass house maybe better luck in September when we are back on Arvia . Thanks for watching Louise and thank you for all the support XX❤️👋👋

Evening Percy , hope you have had a good weekend. No food gymnastics from Pearl this week 😂. Yes I lived in Malta for about 3 years when I was very young. My Dad was in the Royal Navy , bless him . Next vlog is in a couple of weeks, thought you deserved a break 😂 . Cunard QM2 , and Pearl has afternoon tea 😱😱 .Thanks for your continued support Percy have a good week. 👋👋🥂

Hi Marecia , we weren’t prepared for that slope , so poor Pearl was nearly out of her depth. Her little legs were going ten to the dozen 😂 . Glad you enjoyed them thanks very much for your continued support.XX👋👋❤️

Another good vlog,can not wait until your next adventure ,love watching you two Best wishes Dave & Jackie

@davidunwin9817 Hi David and Jackie , thank you glad you enjoyed it , many thanks for following along. Next one is QM2 in a couple of weeks. XX👋👋❤️

Hi Gill , thank you what a lovely message to receive. We do pull each other’s leg and have a lot of fun on our cruises , and we are glad that it comes over on our vlogs. Today is the last one about our time on Azura. Then we think people may need a break from us 🤣. Only for a week mind you , then it is 3 vlogs about our time on Cunard Queen Mary 2 . Thanks again Gill for the lovely message , and for watching our vlogs .XX👋

Afternoon Amanda , I might have known you females would all stick together when it comes to shoes 😂 . Yes she did look a right Bobby Dazzler in her Burgundy dress . Pearl said it came from Roman . They do have a few shops but mostly online. Typical us forgetting the room number, in too much of a hurry to find a bar 🥂. Azura is tired just like Ventura both in need of a refit . But it was the itinerary we liked the look of . So we pre booked Sindhu before we left home , but theatre shows you just turn up . Hope you are both fit and well , and Amanda you are not working too hard . Thanks very much for a great message and for watching. Have a great week.XX👋👋❤️❤️

Hi Carole , thank you very much for watching our vlog . Shame you had such a bad experience in the Canaries. Seems like a few people are getting Covid again, I’m afraid not everyone washes their hands . Hope he has recovered and is feeling better. 21 cruises that is a lot , hopefully you will soon feel like doing number 22 . X👋

Hi Chris & Paula , best way to watch our vlogs a bottle or two 😂. #towelgate yes she kept that quiet no wonder my face was so red 😂. Thanks both , hope you had a great holiday and great to hear from you .XX👋👋❤️

Morning Al , thank you very much 🙏. I’m sure the neighbours would be fine with Pearls bb across the street 😂 . I know what you mean about pools , usually there is no room to move . We go in the adult only one on the last episode and it was really nice . French Onion, our favourite as well . To be fair the food was ok , not spectacular but we enjoyed most meals. I thought I would treat her at the airport but unfortunately I didn’t read the sign 😂. I’m definitely up for hire for all packing duties, very reasonable rates 😂🤣. Thanks Al , last one on Sunday of this Azura cruise. You deserve a little break 🤣 Hope you have an enjoyable week XXXX❤️

Hi Julie , Pearl said it was a dress brought quite a few years ago for Debenhams . it was a Julien MacDonald dress . Hope this helps , and thank you very much for watching 👋👋

Hi Pat , thank you very much for watching our vlogs . I use a number of cameras a Sony zv1 and a DJI pocket pro , and my I phone. You can get some good results using your phone. When filming on the ship I tend to use the DJI camera as it’s small and a bit more discrete. One thing I would definitely recommend is microphones. People will put up with a bit of poor quality in filming but if they can’t hear then they tend to turn off . We found that out very quickly. Hope this helps, have a great cruise on Azura .Nearly forgot I use an editing software called VN . I use their free version.

Hi guys , I wanted to get my pruners out 😂😂👋

Hi A+J , never get fed up with nice comments ❤️ we really do appreciate the fact that people watch and then take time to give us their opinions. No Amanda you are correct, never a dull moment 😂. That’s another thing Pearl will never get used to , people saying such lovely things about how she looks. She really is pleasantly surprised. Thanks A+J always appreciate your lovely positive comments XX👋👋❤️❤️

Good evening A+J . Thank you glad you enjoyed the vlog . Loved Split , and we love Croatia 🇭🇷, it did help with the lovely weather. We love to sit at a bar having a drink and doing some people watching . Ice cream was amazing they make it look so good. Yes I will vote for that 😂 a statue in every port we visit and possibly a couple of drinks on the house 🥂🤣. I think Pearl has got used to me now making comments at her expense, she takes it all with a smile , bless her 😍. Thanks A+J lol XX ❤️❤️👋👋

Thanks Marc , luckily for me Madam didn’t know anything about the price of Gold 😮‍💨 She got her own back with the fat Jaffa reference. Yes September will soon be here and we are really looking forward to it . Of course it will be great to meet you onboard and you never know England could be European Champions by then 😫🥱. So boring to watch, Southgate leaves it so late to make any changes to get some pace in the team . Still what do we know 😂. Thanks again Marc for those great comments.🙏👋

Afternoon A+J , I’ll tell you what we’re like , a proper pair of plonkers . Yes I bet they are still looking for numbers 7 and 8 😂. Thanks Amanda, to be fair I could have pointed the camera in any direction the view was amazing.Montenegro I think is definitely worth a visit, we only saw Kotor but I have heard lots of good things about some of there resorts . I had to look up Patrick St Esprit , and yes I will definitely take that 😀 Thanks as always A+J it’s nearly the weekend 🥂 XX👋👋❤️❤️

@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I thought you might have looked him up lol 😆 but he is very handsome 😉

😂😂 I didn’t have a clue 😂❤️x

Thanks Guys ,very kind glad you enjoyed it . Pearl said to say thank you. for the comment on her dress .Next episode is the last one for this Azura cruise , then you deserve a break 😂 . Thank you very much for watching ,and we appreciate the lovely comment .x👋👋

Hi Glenda ,its great to hear from you what ever time it is , hope you had fun and stayed dry on your camping adventure .Master Bates was definitely near by 😂 .She certainly looked a vision in her Green attire ,as I said just like Kermit . Subs are still going up slowly so that is good . Have a good week Glenda , thanks for watching , see you next week .XX❤️👋

Afternoon Percy , thank you glad you enjoyed it . Good to hear from someone who has experienced Marella. We have heard positive things so we are looking forward to it . Pearls breakfast 🤣 what a shambles I’m surprised not many people picked up on it . Someone described it as looking like a Picasso masterpiece 😂🤣 . Thanks Percy have a great week 👋👋🍷
