We stayed at the H10 Madison in Barcelona and were impressed with the hotel and the location in the heart of the Gothic area was amazing. We had a modern relatively spacious room, a great breakfast, super service, and a very scenic rooftop bar/restaurant. We thought the cost/benefit was so good we are taking a chance on H10 in Rome pre-Cruise in December.

Glad to hear it!

[@lillekagehus392]

I just snorted into my tea at "ooh a little stool as well". Brilliant. Portaventura looks like such a fun theme park. :)

[@TravelBlogJamie]

lol 😂 Sorry about that 😝

[@SherylMottram]

So different to cruising but you both look to be having an amazing time, so chilaxed, and you havent had anyone recognising you up to now, looking forward to part two xxx

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh we did have some people recognise us lol I haven’t been featuring anyone for a few vlogs - good to do things differently here and there

[@robertcowlishaw1730]

Looking forward to watching this tonight. I lived and worked in Salou for 10 years in the eighties and haven't been back since.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh a trip down memory lane then!!

[@Mazza240]

Maffoo is so funny. Love when you get on his nerves (in a nice way)😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

lol 😂

[@sian6753]

I just want to say i’m so glad you love Salou just as much as I do. It was a blast seeing you go through the areas i’ve been going to for 15+ years, fond memories of loved ones and family holidays. ❤❤ nearly screamed when I saw you were going. Cambrils is beautiful, lovely little shops. Salou is great for the night plenty to do strolling, that little beach you went to is my favourite although I got stung by a jellyfish so I always used to check the sand before going in 😂😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh yes, lots of jelly fish in this area at certain time of year!

[@cruiseforever1281]

I love your innuendos. Please don’t stop them. 🫶

Watching this from a sun lounger whilst on holiday myself made it a little easier on my soul but I’d still live to visit there all the same 🤣

[@TravelBlogJamie]

❤️❤️❤️

[@karenaitken642]

I went to Salou and Port Aventura in 1998 ... wow what a change ... I'd like to go back, thanks for the vlog 😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Very welcome

[@Katy.Dawson]

We absolutely love Salou! Brilliant vlog as always, it made us feel like we were there ❤ Great tip for anyone visiting port aventura, you can usually get a discount on tickets by buying the sweets packets in the supermarkets so worth knowing about

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👍👍👍

[@SoloonaCruise]

I was lol over the buffet twist 😄

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Haha! Always looking for the next unexpected

[@angelacox-martin2789]

Needed to do a deep clean of my house (yawn) this morning and actually said "yay!" when I saw this video pop up - you kept me company through some of a boring task. Looks like you both had such a good time, and the buffet actually looks better than some of the cruise ones, on camera anyway! Looking forward to part 2 x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Glad to be of domestic service lol 😂

[@janerees8990]

Love it! Hotel looks great too. Is this all inclusive?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

No it was half board for us

[@annfox2854]

Looking at the H10 vintage for a last minute week in August. Never been to Salou. Is it like Benidorm? Hated it there 😮

[@annfox2854]

Maybe Cambrils would suit us better?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes, Cambrils better for you

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s not as lively as Benidorm

[@Nozanne123]

Watched it

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👍

[@chrispeacock3541]

Hi Jamie, big fan of your blogs. May i ask why did you change to a different hotel half way through your Salou holiday???? Reason for asking is the first hotel you stayed in looked great and you were both having a great time there and it wasn't very far from the theme parks you were wanting to go to so im a bit at a loss why you booked 2 hotels instead of the one. Was it because you wanted to experience a hotel within the theme park or wanted to be closer, or was there a different motive. I would love to know your decision for choosing 2 hotels. Thanks very much Chris.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Because we like variety, because I like showing people what’s on offer in my vlogs and as I said in the vlog, the middle section was a package which included 3 days of theme park tickets and a day at Ferrari world: it was cheaper getting the hotel / park ticket package than buying multi theme park tickets

[@chrispeacock3541]

@@TravelBlogJamie Thanks, much appreciate your reply. Im looking at a holiday to Salou around September time and im looking at doing a 3 day pass for the theme park and the rest of the the holiday just chilling out and exploring the sites of Salou. The hardest bit is choosing whether to go with a package holiday with jet2 or Tui or book everything separate. Also i cant decide on the length of stay as im split with doing a week or 10 days. Im sure ill make up my mind and choose what feels right for me. Hope your enjoying you cruise onboard Queen Mary 2, and looking forward to seeing the next part of your vlog.
