Doughnuts are definitely breakfast food in the US! Most independent doughnut shops open at 5 or 6 am and won't be open into the later afternoon. It's very common to bring boxes of a dozen doughnuts to work or other events in the morning to share

[@EmmaCruises]

That is bonkers to me 😅❤️

You know what's bonkers? Beans for breakfast 🤣🤣 Although I tried some on norwegian bliss last March, not too bad though...

[@stevecagle2317]

@@jeffc3278 I thought the same thing about breakfast beans but they're not like baked beans. The beans are like the imported Heinz Beans and different than US baked beans.

My wife Kate and I really have no plans for a cruise but we enjoy watching your adventures anyway. You seem to be a kind person whose youthful exuberance shines. My wife is a cancer survivor who wore a wig for 18 months and cried when she heard about your reason for short hair. Thank you for that from both of us!

I just this video about the Princess Cruises around the UK. It just so happens by wife, and I took the same cruise on September 18th of 2022 on the Emerald Princess for her birthday. It was our first cruise ever and it sold us on cruising. Your description of the cruise and ports was exactly what we experienced, and we had signed up for another cruise in the Caribbean before we left the ship, which turned out to be really good too. I really enjoy your commentaries and videos on cruising, you truly do a great job!

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

Honestly, I love a good graveyard. It tells you a lot about a place and they’re often very lovely with gorgeous landscaping and architecture. When I went to Finland and Sweden some of my favourite places I visited were the cemeteries. I even went to one in NYC and to go from this hustling busting built up metropolis to a rolling green landscape was a breath of fresh air.

[@EmmaCruises]

Haha. Too creepy for me! 😂🎉

[@xaa135]

I was on this cruise as well! I spotted you from afar while watching The Sound of Music on deck, but I was too starstruck to go say hi. When I finally worked up the courage, you were gone. I really enjoyed this cruise, it was a great introduction to the UK!

[@gaynor247]

We never got to the end of The Sound of Music - we overheated! ( Can't actually believe I'm saying that as we were sailing around the top of Scotland!) You should have come over, we aren't scary! 🤣

Le Havre was one of my favorite cruise ports. Not because of Le Havre itself, but because we visited Normandy. As an American, that was one of the most moving experiences I've ever had.

[@EmmaCruises]

☺️❤️

[@HowLongCanWeKeepHoldingOn]

Normandy truly is special. The Allied Cemetery is simply beautiful and like you said was absolutely moving. Easily one of the most important places I've ever visited.

[@JewlieRamone]

I'm from Greenock! I'm glad you enjoyed my wee town, it was heavily hit by the decline of heavy industry and the resulting poverty and the area is finally seeing investment and regeneration again, it would be wonderful to see more passengers stay and spend local, there are some more worthwhile things to see and do in the area with just a short bus or taxi journey! I'm really saddened that Princess displayed a sign warning of drugs but only for the Greenock Port. Yes the area has seen issues with drugs but no more or less than any large town in the UK. I feel it paints the area in a really poor light :(

[@EmmaCruises]

Yeah I’m not sure about that, you’d think they’d show it in places like liverpool too (haha). Maybe they did but I didn’t see it. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

[@egpx]

It might be pushing it for time but The Greenock Cut is a very nice walk if anyone fancies a bit of countryside rather than the town.

Whilst it shows yiu a few bits i wouldn't say it shows you the British isles. For starters it didn't go to wale, due to port locations yiu can't access national parks, dont visit London. You get so excited about nessy ang giants causrway. There is Pembrokeshire in walee, the actual lake district, peak district, south downs, cotswolds to name just a few. Really not sure it tours the British isles

When I was a child in the 1960s, I had an elderly babysitter from Scotland whose father was a ferryboat captain on loch Ness in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She said that as children they were warned to stay away from loch Ness because of the monster.

Oh wow, thats a good idea! ha ha.

When you look into Dutch folk tales it is astounding how many stories have monsters taking kids. To keep kids away from water, swamps, out of corn fields. Probably two flies one stone. The kid stays away and your crops grow.

Twice this year cruise ships have abandoned South Queensferry because of the weather. The Forth can turn nasty very quickly. I watched you sailing down the Forth from my living room window.

[@skycaptain3344]

I too love a full promenade deck, and it’s sad to see many newer cruise ship with chopped up outdoor spaces. My favorite promenade is on Royal Caribbean’s Radiance-class that fully circles the ship and allows you to go on the helipad and very front of the bow.

This trip was the 12 day Emerald Princess from Southampton, August 25, 2022 to September 6, 2022. There was mostly good weather all the way.

Greenock was awarded the most deprived town in Scotland according to government statistics a couple of years ago. The drugs warning was likely in recognition of that fact that its about the only 'business' doing well here. Taking a bus to Largs for a couple of hours would be a better shout, if you don't want to go straight to Glasgow. As someone who has lived in Greenock all my life, I can say with certainty, its not good for tourism. But its good that you saw all the spots I've grown up with. Watching that section made me feel a strange mixture of pride & sadness knowing that was about the only decent things you could see here. I live close to the Cemetery you were talking about, in the day its serene and perfect for walks. At night its utterly pitch black because there are 0 lights within its forested interior. Quite scary.

Interesting for me as I disembarked the day you embarked on Emerald Princess . However on my cruise around the British Isles with a slightly different itinerary, I caught Covid after Cobh and was put in a quarentine cabin . The day after the Captain advised all passengers to wear a mask on board unless eating or drinking . So my cruise experience was somewhat different and the weather was chilly from Belfast onwards until the last two days , one at sea and the other in Le Havre. Cannot fault the care and service from Princess staff . Outstanding. Room service including those lovely chewy cookies .

Oh yes!! I heard about the previous cruise, think I got lucky. 3/4 of us tested positive when we got home (luckily not me!!!) ❤

Thanks for this video. I have been binge watching your back catalog. I love your presenting style. As an Irish person I am glad you enjoyed your time here and took the time to add relevant comments on names etc. However we will have to disagree on the whole "british isles" term. That's a britism and is not accepted or recognised here. Would you be happy if you lived in the Celtic Isles? A more neutral term is the Islands of Britain and Ireland. However getting anyone from the Britian part of that to accept even that is difficult lol. Anyway clear sailing and looking forward to seeing your future travels.
