New sub here. We bought our van with air suspension which made a big difference to our availablle weight (still scaled it off though to make sure we were legal). I've seen loads of motorhomes which are clearly overweight, but they don't realise that apart from the safety aspect... they would not have insurance cover in the event of an accident. Safe travels, Mick and Cath.

Don't worry..you rarely have a full tank of fuel..keep it around half and thats 45kg saved, plus ditch some fresh water and you will be fine. Millie is longer than previous van so less payload.

Hi Leanne, yeah Mark said we had used about 25 litres (21 kg) by the time we got to our first stop last night. We realised a lot of it was to do with all the upgrades we had made! We have taken out the washing line and windbreak as won’t need them on this trip and we did get rid of lots of water but it was a bit stressy getting packed!! We don’t want to get stopped and get fined and equally don’t want to cause any accidents being overweight - it’s not worth it is it!! Thanks for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

Another good video. Loved Kristiansand when we went on same May 23 cruise. You do a lot more than we do but we are in our early 60s. Interested that you chose an internal cabin but paid for Premium. We prefer a balcony and go Plus, would you go internal again? Also I noted this and seen a tips video is that you do not have to wait for your disembarkation slot, as they don't check

It was a great place to visit and going on the Segways was so much fun 🤩 We always go with the cheapest cabin and sometimes get the drinks package so when I was looking at those with Princess, the Premium looked a better deal for the two weeks and as it was for my 50th Birthday we knew we'd go to the speciality dining and love having lots of photos so it worked well for us - the WiFi and other benefits wire an added bonus! We have never had a balcony cabin - ocean view a few times and one day we might if the price is right 😊 We have two cruises booked for next year both inside cabins and very different cruises. We're not usually in a hurry to get off when it's Southampton and like to go for breakfast and noticed on our last Cruise with MSC in November that our bags were only just coming off the ship when we got off half hour early so we had to wait a little while for them 😂 Is Princess your preferred cruise line?

Hi A&M, thanks for going through your upgrades, very helpful as we are planning a few 👍 Couple of questions, if you can assist? 1. Gaslow, approximate cost and was the 11+6kg bottle option more for size/cost/ease of fitting or other reasons (rather than 2 X 11kgs)? 2. Spare tyre bracket, any recommended suppliers and cost? 3. Did you consider a wifi upgrade/external antenna? 4. Approximate cost of the 2 X AGMs and did you consider a "power station" (All power/Bluetti or similar)? Hope you don't mind the enquiries and all the best with your future travels 👍

Hi Paul, thank you for the questions and no problem at all. 1 - Gaslow approximate cost was £600, and we chose the 6kg bottle option so there was head space in the cabinet for the gas filter and the 90 degree adaptor without needing to shorten any existing gas pipes. 2 - There are many potential suppliers of the Spare Tyre Bracket, many are on eBay, prices vary from as low as £160 delivered for a brand new one - Coastal Motorhomes are actually selling one right now for £125.58 with coupon code. 3 - We have thought about Starlink for the future but right now we have a NetGear MiFi to make use of and will see how that goes. 4 - The AGMS cost £334 and we bought them from Tayna - 2 Enduroline 110 AGM Leisure batteries 95Ah.

@@kroozer5215 Hi, thank you so much for finding us! We stayed here around the end of May and the weather was perfect and this is still out of season so we were able to use our ACSI card and get it for a really good price. Are you heading that way? Thank you for watching - Amanda & Mark 😍

I was there 4 years ago, but "thought I was in Gorran Haven." Are you sure about the name ? I hired a kayak and did some paddling with my dog.. Wonderful place...

Hi Marianne, yes definitely got the name right as we live in Cornwall and not that far away. Gorran Haven is the place we stopped in for ice cream a few miles along the coast. There is a car park you can stay in there as well and also in Mevagissey. Thanks for watching and glad you had a good time there - Amanda & Mark 😍

Thank you for this review! I will be sailing the Middle East, on this ship, in December. I booked an inside cabin for the first time and am glad I can see what my cabin will look like. Fortunately I won't be sharing a cabin, so I can use all the available space. 😊😊 Thanks again!

Hi, you're very welcome ☺️ She's a fab ship and the cabins are definitely ideal for solo travel - they need more wardrobe space, same as MSC World Europa that we're on now! Thanks for watching and have a great cruise 🚢

Hello again, just rewatched your vlog as wondering if you will be staying in one place for a while because of 90 day rule 😊I replied to you saying how we managed retiring in our fifties, not sure if you saw it. We visited Istanbul from a cruise ship, it was amazing seeing inside the Blue Mosque, we also went to Ephesiis, not sure if that's how it's spelt, also brilliant. 😊

Hi so we are going to get to Bosnia within a week hopefully and then make our way to Turkey driving through Greece or Bulgaria as quickly as we can and then see how we get on. Mark isn't overly keen on going there but I'm hoping the weather will be good and we can find some half decent campsites. I've already found a park up in Istanbul so will see. We did our very first cruise together around Turkey and Greece from Cyprus and went to the port where you can visit Ephesus. Would you believe me if I told you we actually had our road bikes on the ship with us 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️

Sorry we will then come back into the Schengen countries like Croatia, Italy France etc for our 90 days. I think Mark has worked out we can go for 150 days and we want to spend a lot of time hopefully in Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia 😊

I just found your videos of this cruise yesterday. We just booked this exact trip last week and we will travel in June 2025. I am really enjoying your videos and your tips so far are very helpful. I like to know what to expect when I go to foreign places, we are traveling from the US. Looks like this is going to be a fantastic trip! Thank you for the videos!
