Guys your enthusiasm is infectious, I was whoop whooping with you on that boarding jetty, embarkation day can be exhausting especially as you say people are finding their way around the ship….really honest vlog, exactly how it is for real…well done..x

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. That is one of the nicest comments we’ve ever read. We really appreciate that people enjoy our style of content. We try our best to be as real as possible without boring our audience to death 🤣☺️ - Jessica

[@user-mm3qt4nf7i]

Hello Wayne and Jess...Jess when you were getting ready to step on the ship and was so excited i actually cried because i was so happy for you...they were happy tears...i am so happy that through everything you are just so positive and your smile is just contagious 😊 💗...Wayne you are the best husband...i can't wait for all the other videos of this cruise 😊 💖 💗

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hey, thank you so much for watching and commenting. Aww really! That’s so sweet. It was such a great day. Love a first day of a cruise. The cruise videos will continue every Friday 😊

[@EmmaDayDesigner]

With the amount of cruising you guys do you should buy some cruise luggage tag holders there pretty cheap and can save the annoyance of forgetting tape or trying to find someone to staple the tag on for you, Also nice video tyfs - did skip the recap bit but that’s personal preference thanks for the time stamp. It’s on my bucket list to do an Alaskan cruise on sky princess. So it’s nice to see the ships as much as possible

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

You're more than welcome lovely. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. That's a great idea about luggage tags. We will have to look into that before on our next sailing 🙂 xx

[@Mollylife-6666]

Lovely first video, looking forward to this cruise series 😊

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

You're more than welcome lovely. Thanks for taking time out of your weekend to watch us. We're so happy you enjoyed it. Episode 2 should be up next Friday, if all goes to plan 🙂 xx

We’ve sailed on Sky Princess out of Southampton twice, and even going through the ‘Blue Lane’ we’ve been on the ship in 20 mins after we’ve dropped off our cases. It’s always been really well organised and quick.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

We found the whole process from arriving to the cruise terminal to getting onboard the ship such a well laid out stress free procedure. Everything was so easy. Everything was well signed, the staff pointed us in the right direction and all extremely friendly. It's probably the quickest/easiest embarkation we've done. We will definitely sail with Princess again. Thanks for watching and commenting xx

[@cruisecrazy7066]

The video is mostly just you. I want to see the ship.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. We have chosen to film our content this way. If it’s not too your taste. There are plenty of other amazing videos about sky princess on KZbin to watch that you may like ☺️

[@cruisecrazy7066]

@@HolidayWithTheHeathers Thanks for your comment. I am trying to improve your videos. The comment is meant to be constructive.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

@@cruisecrazy7066 We appreciate that. Thank you for your comment. We are simply replying, if our content is not to your liking. That is completely fine and we recommend watching other videos on KZbin as well as ours. As there are many with lots of varied styles of filming and content. We still have another 7 days worth of content to go up on KZbin every Friday at 6 pm, where we show plenty of the ship. This was our embarkation day. We had only been on the ship a few hours, we had to check in, unpack, watch our muster drill video, we went for dinner and drinks, went to bed. We spent a lot of time in the cabin as I have disabilities and needed to rest after a busy day of travel. Apologies! Again, we really appreciate your opinion and thanks for watching ☺️

[@MrPhillipsmandy]

Hi guys have a great time

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

We certainly did. We're still dreaming of being on her now. Such a brilliant ship with amazing staff and delicious food. Cannot wait to get back on her again. Thanks for watching and commenting xx

[@Simons-Adventures]

We have just got off sky princess we was in M115 opposite your room, your door was open this morning took a picture but not sure how to post it on here to remind you of the good times

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Thanks for watching and commenting. We hope you had a fantastic cruise onboard sky. We certainly did. Oh really? Wow what a small world lol. Erm I don't think you can on here. If you have Instagram or Facebook, you could send it in message. Wayne 🙂

[@Simons-Adventures]

@@HolidayWithTheHeathers no -Robles I will send it via Instagram message

[@annwagner-millward7039]

Hi, I can answer your question about the $9.99 wristband conversion price , I purchased a wristband for my medallion it was £8.23 back in April. Hope this helps 😁

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Thanks very much. And for watching us. Hope you enjoyed the vlogs. Its all very much appreciated 😀

[@ardongrainford8004]

You are so courteous and treat staff well. Have seen many other cruise videos where the presenters are loud, snobbish and think they know it all.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Thanks ardon. We always aim to tell the viewers the truth. If we don't know something or unsure of something we will mention that we aren't sure. Some viewers will hang of every word we say and take what we say as gospel. If we are wrong and the viewers try it on their next cruise. We could get a unpleasant message etc etc. So we always say on camera if we're not sure. That way we cannot get into trouble. Also the staff work extremely long hours away from their families for months at a time. So we always try and be courteous to the staff. They work so hard to look after all of us. Thanks for watching and commenting xx

[@sarahfilbey275]

Did you go to guest services and have the daily auto gratuities removed? We are on her in a few months time so would be handy to know. Looking forward to this series xx

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hey Sarah, Jessica and I decided to pay the $90 gratuities before we got onboard. We don't normally do this. We normally wait until the end of the cruise. But on this occasion we both had the money, so decided to pay it before so we didn't receive a huge bill at the end. Once we got onboard, about 2 days into the sailing we checked our onboard accounts and noticed we both were getting charged $16 dollars a day for gratuities. Jessica visited guest services and explained to them we had paid before hand and they apologised and we didn't have the problem again 🙂. We hope you have a lovely time onboard, we certainly did. Thanks so much for watching and supporting us. It means so much 🙂xx

[@stokesy_SWFC]

P&O Iona & Britannia are totally different ships capacities. Britannia is 3647 and Iona is 5200. Arvia & Ioan are the same capacity.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Thanks for the information we've been on both Iona and Britannia but not the Arvia yet. That's booked for October this year which we cannot wait for. Thanks for watching and commenting xx

[@tattooedpowerranger537]

❤ enjoying this video with a nice cold drink!! Great work

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hey Dave, thanks again for watching. We hope you enjoyed it. I could murder a nice cold pint atm but unfortunately jess and I are stuck indoors today frantically editing tonight's vlog. Oh well maybe we will sit in the garden later tonight and have a cold one. Thanks again for watching and commenting 🙂🍺 xx

[@Mrs_Bogger]

Lovely video! I’m off on Sky Princess today for the first time! Looks like you enjoying the ship, can’t wait to see the rest xx

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Omg jess and I are so jealous. We had an absolutely brilliant time onboard. We are sure you will too. Lucy the Cruise Director is lovely and Alex works so hard to ensure we all have a fantastic holiday. We found the food to be the best food we've ever had on a cruise ship too. We're so jealous lol. Have the most amazing cruise. We have to know what you thought of it when you get off next Sunday 🙂. Thanks for watching and hope you found the vlog helpful xxx

[@ardongrainford8004]

I have to say that Jess’s have looked gorgeous!

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Oh she certainly did Ardon. I'm such a lucky man. Xx

[@user-jx8xe8km6p]

Hi Jess live your vloggs. Please can you tell me how you go about getting Accessibility boarding on Sky. We are on her in September. I have a few health issues and classed as disabled but don't need a wheelchair. Thank you. Karen

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hey, thank you so much for commenting and watching!! When you purchase your cruise, after give them a call and mention your needs. They will send you a form to fill in and send back to tell about all of your accessibility needs. That’s what I did 😊

[@user-jx8xe8km6p]

@HolidayWithTheHeathers Thank you very much for your

[@user-jx8xe8km6p]

Help. Looking forward to your next Sky Princess vlogg.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

@@user-jx8xe8km6p you're more than welcome lovely. Thanks again. If all goes to plan the next vlog in this series will be on Friday

[@user-jx8xe8km6p]

@@HolidayWithTheHeathers You are both lovely. Will be watching your vloggs.

[@mortonkatz1639]

Hi Ithat dinner look very good long live CGT

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

It was delicious. Infact Jessica and myself Said that it had the best food we've ever had on a cruise. Everywhere we ate was delicious 😋 xx

[@ardongrainford8004]

What is the difference between Princess and p and o

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

They are two completely different cruise lines. P&O are British and Princess is American but they both offer cruises. It's a bit like Tesco and Walmart, their both supermarkets offering the same things but are different companies. Thanks very much for watching and commenting xx

[@ardongrainford8004]

Hair I meant.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Haha no worries thanks ardon. That's so sweet of you to say xx

[@mikesmales3403]

I’m sorry, but this was an hour of my life I’m not getting back. It was so boring ! Showed absolutely nothing. I’m sorry to be blunt, but watched you for years and I think you’ve lost it. Need to up your game to regain the faith. Unsure how you are being nominated for awards.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hi Mike, we are sorry you feel this way, especially after being a loyal viewer/subscriber for many years. All I can say is.... IF you can bring yourself to watch last night's vlog the 1st say 4 minutes will explain a few things on why we didn't "Show absolutely nothing" As for the "Unsure how we are being nominated for awards" comment. We never expect to win any awards, Jessica and I are not professionals or ever claim to be professional. We're simply a Husband and Wife who love travelling and decided during lockdown to document our trips after I was made redundant. These vlogs we put up are not just for people to watch but their also for Jessica and I to look back on, in years to come and for our children to hopefully watch when we're long gone. But I will say.... We must be doing something right to be nominated in the first place. We hope you'll continue to watch the rest of this series and let us know your thoughts at the end. If you feel at the end "We've still lost it" than perhaps don't watch us anymore? Thanks for your feed back we do appreciate all the comments good and bad, it does help us out a lot. Wayne and Jessica 🙂

[@mikesmales3403]

Thank you for replying. I’m not a keyboard warrior happy to criticise at will, I just wanted to give some feedback as I enjoyed much of what you produced in the early days. Your enthusiasm and excitement comes across so much, but the last few series it’s become very much of a talking ‘channel’ with little ship/destination content. The 2nd Princess vlog consisted of talk in the cabin, meal time and bingo sheets. Jess talks of ‘Brand’ Heather and KZbin channels, along with so many collaborating freebies, it seems much more than personal clips for you to look back on. More of a business venture, therefore you attract attention, not always positive. I’m sure if you produced more out and about content, rather than chat content, you would be looking at 10.000 subscribers rather than the 3,000 listed. I look for vloggers who can show we exciting content and physical evidence of what a ship/destination looks like, and this is why I raised my opinion. I sincerely wish you well in both your KZbin channel and health issues.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

@@mikesmales3403 It started off being a channel for us to look back on and hopefully help viewers out. We had no idea that the vlogs would be popular and we get a lot of viewers. The thought of being nominated for awards totally blew our minds. But yes... I get what you are saying xx
