Emma, I like your delivery and unbiased way of discussing different cruise lines and ships. Regarding the buffet, we took our grandson, then 11 now 31, on his first cruise on the Disney Wonder. My wife was telling him how the food and nearly everything else he was interested in was FREE. He looked at her and said, “Nana, it’s not free, it is INCLUDED”. At such a tender age he realized there is no free lunch.

Good on you Emma! You should be proud and fond of your own Countrymen. As an American, I'm reminded of the famous meeting between John Adams, the first American Ambassador to the UK, and King George III. The King had heard that Adams was not particularly attached to the manners of France. Adams said that was true and stated "I have no attachment but to my own Country". King George III then responded "An honest man will never have any other". That wonderful exchange between King George and John Adams did much to restore the friendship between our two countries.

I'm from the U.S. and I enjoyed my 2018 UK cruise so much that I booked the same trip in 2019. Edinburgh was a favorite so in 2019 I took an excursion bus there from Glasgow, just to get an extra day in the city. Cruising is "drive-by" tourism, which is frustrating when you want to spend more time in one place. The best part of cruising is that you take your hotel room with you (I hate packing).

We lived in Alaska and had the same wish! All the places we could get to by truck we had been. We have taken two cruises and it was totally worth it. We picked up a couple in Seward who lived in Juneau and had been to Anchorage for a big shopping trip. They used the cruise ship to carry all that stuff back to Juneau. Apparently it was quite a bit cheaper than other options, which was brilliant!

6:01 You know what's funny about this - I come from Queensland, Australia, and for the people who _live_ here, all year round, 15 degrees celsius is also ideal sunbathing weather. Because you don't go out sunbathing when it's 30+ degrees outside, you'll cook yourself! We generally leave that for people from colder climes who want to sweat themselves into oblivion and then lie around indoors with heatstroke for two days. That's not intended as a criticism, btw - everyone who lives here has done that to themselves at least once intentionally, and often many times more by accident - but it's not something that is really much fun when you're going home afterwards to the _same_ 30+ degree heat that you were out cooking yourself in. Spring and autumn are the best times for outdoor activities; not so hot that you're cooking yourself into tandoori every time you leave a building, and not cold enough that your body goes into winter-time hibernation mode because - nights still get down to 1 degree C sometimes, but it's not a cold enough climate for anybody to have proper winter insulation in their homes, so you _feel_ that cold.

Hi Emma. I love Princess and those beds are amazing and having a cabin exclusively to oneself even when travelling with a group allows for "me time". I think the US cruisers are missing so much by not having US coastal cruises because there is so much to see and learn about our own countries. Approaching and viewing any country by sea is magical but when it is your own it is just so special.

We live close to the coast of California and have done quite a few of the west coast cruises (and still had a ton of fun). Plus as an added bonus we drive to the pier where the cruises are and park our car there for the duration of the cruise!

Took the same cruise on Ruby Princess in 2014. Would not do it again. Some of it was nice. Like Cobh and especially liked Kirkwall. We also did it in mid May and it was cold most of the time. Really could not enjoy the outside decks because of the cold. We were asked to change our cabin at the last minute in exchange of a limit view with a discount. Nothing really wrong with limited view but cabin was so small it as even hard to get into the bed. The excursions were very expensive. We did not go on many because of the expense. We preferred to just get off and wander around on our own. We went on a river cruise a few years before and it was so much better. First on a river cruise you can wander all over the ship. You can stand on the bow or the stern and watch the water go by. On the Ruby Princess of the bow is the expensive state rooms or the bridge and control areas and the stern isn't much better. On the river the cruise a lot during the day and are in port at night so you can just sit on the deck and chill and watch the world go by. On a cruise ship they are in moving at night. Sorry to get so wordy but are going on cruise this far north do it during August.

Whether it be drydock or cruising, I've never had a bad experience that soured the fact I was on a ship. All the lines we worked for were great in my opinion. We took our meals at staff mess and the food was excellent. We were not allowed in guest areas after hours while cruising but found the crew bar more than sufficient in the evenings I would say that it is a toss-up between RCI and Princess as to who had the better crew..

I had lots of smiles during this video. 1. As you were talking about not visiting your home island, I was thinking about inviting you to join us on a narrowboat. It would be hilarious for this pair of Kansans to meet you at a Back Princes narrowboat base and toodle around at 4 mph for a week. We've done it five times. NOT a cruise ship cruise for sure. 2. As you talked about expecting just OLD Brits on the ship, I was thinking that you need to go on a Hebredian Princess cruise. That WILL be mostly OLD brits with some OLD people from elsewhere thrown in just because. That said you will visit places in Scotland and Ireland that you won't likely get to any other way. Care to watch puffins nesting? Or take a distillery tour on Islay? Those two might occur in the same day with a great lunch in between. Even your "cheap" inside cabin on HP would be more expensive than a nice suite on Royal Princess. 3. We've enjoyed a couple of cruises on Royal. One of those was a Transatlantic that terminated in Southampton. [From there we went narrowboating. :-) ] Again, Thanks, David

Great choice Emma for a video in these times! Draught Guinness IN Ireland is the only place to drink it. Hot Tubs in the cold is ok...better than a swim in a heated indoor pool...I’ve done hot pools in -8 C (17F I think) & was very refreshing. You can still go on Golden Princess, when you can make it to Sydney. She’s now with P&O Australia, sails from Sydney, called Pacific Adventure. Fingers crossed that the P&O ships start sailing in August 2021 & not be put forward again.

We did a British Isles cruise in 2016 with CMV and it remains one of my favourite cruises. We visited Kirkwall (where we were piped away with a bagpipes band) Tobermory and Stornaway (lots of rain in all of them) Dublin where I just had time to visit Grafton Street, and round to Guernsey, Isles of Scilly (fabulous beaches) and then finished in Honfleur for Bastille Day. All places I would never have seen otherwise. Would definitely do another British Isles cruise.

I got something to look forward to on the former Golden Princess who will become the Pacific Adventure for P&O Australia 🇦🇺 they already have the former Star Princess all done up as the Pacific Encounter and she looks beautiful too. The Royal Princess is beautiful too and she is the one I would love to sail on though for a cruise when I work out which one

I just had an MSC no fly Southampton to Norway cancelled... I was offered a Southampton to Liverpool and Glasgow in exchange for an extra £400. There are interesting places in the UK, but I'm tempted in the slightest by a highlight of Liverpool or Glasgow. I chose Virgin to replace and sailing to "nowhere" is a better deal. Got 3 Silversea cruises booked... All replacements for 5 cancelled and redacted, one of which was on my fav ship Silver Wind, which would have ended outside my old office at Tower Bridge. (As shown in my profile photo.)

I don't like the Guinness served in the UK but when I visited Dublin myself and tried it there it tasted so different and was really nice.
@musefan123453 жыл бұрын
That’s because barmen in Britain don’t pour it properly. I’m Irish, and I’ve never managed to find a decent pint of Guinness across the Irish Sea. It’s supposed to be poured in 2 stages, but they never seem to do that over there.
