One of the best things about cruising is the interesting people you meet. Good to hear about Nationwide insurance as we have recently moved to them.

[@Helenmaryjo]

They were brilliant xx

[@janesmith-xh3jr]

That blue of that wrap is really your colour. It looks like a cornflower blue on screen, bring out the blue of your eyes more vivid. Lovely it is. Glad you had a good cruise, you have a healthy glow and i look forward to seeing more. Lovethe channel as always. Williams had his debut. x

[@elizabethsad8023]

The cruise sounds lovely. So glad Rob had a great medical team to make sure he was safe & recovered. What a fright for you both though. The islands sound lovely.

You look beautifully tanned so looking forward to part 2/& photos. 🎉🎉🥂🍾🌴🪇🪘🎺🛳️🏝️🏖️

[@susangriggs5557]

He was called Williams. Thanks for the video, have not done a cruise, so it’s great to get all the info. Funny, I thought we had not seen much of you. Sounds like to have got jet lag, it happened to me after a transatlantic flight, you feel all over the place.

[@SueCragg-nw2lh]

Thank you for sharing your holiday video, Helen. So pleased you had a lovely time cruising. I can imagine how worrying things were, when Rob became unwell. 😢Bad enough when at home but so much more complicated while in a foreign Country. My husband and I are on holiday at the moment on Australia’s Norfolk Island, weather is perfect. I have been watching the weather you are experiencing over there. Please stay safe. Love your joke at the end. 😂 XX

[@Helenmaryjo]

Have fun! Thank you xx

Loved hearing about your cruise. So glad you had a great vacation! Also glad Rob is ok. Loved the joke! No one listens to my jokes because I butcher them! I tell the punch line too soon or mess it up somehow. I think I can remember that one! Looking forward to part 2.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Haha, I know. He told so many and I can only remember a couple xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Indeed! Thank you xx

[@EileenLymer-i7w]

My husband has some health issues and have travel insurance with Nationwide so it’s reassuring to know that they are so efficient as it can be a worry. Glad you had a nice time though. x

[@Helenmaryjo]

We declared all Rob's conditions which added about £160 but worth every penny. xx

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

Hello beautiful lady. What a lovely surprise hearing about your trip I remember you mentioned it months ago. How fun. I am packing for our trip to Costa Rica this weekend. First time there for us. They have had a lot of rain fingers crossed we have good weather. Glad your husband is well now. That’s scary.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Hopefully, they've had all the rain. How lovely. Thank you xx

[@lindahull3974]

I’m so glad you enjoyed your cruise and that Rob ended up doing well. How frightening when you are so far from home. Williams did a nice job on the video and his demo of how to get to the beach before the bridge was built was a hoot.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you xx

[@lizrichardson3309]

Lovely WILLIAMS reminded me of my Antigua holiday! We went to the beach on the other side of the hill with the fort on top! Spent the whole day on our own, perfect!

[@Helenmaryjo]

How lovely. Thank you xx

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Helen. Welcome back from your cruise. Firstly, I’m so sorry that Rob was taken ill and what a relief that he didn’t have to go to hospital but very scary for you both. It does sound as if there were a few rainy days but still enjoyable. It was a very smart move to make videos to cover the period that you were away- I wondered when you were going on the cruise! The lovely guy who had his You Tube debut was Williams. So glad you enjoyed your holiday! ❤️

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you very much xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you xx

[@TerriWilson-bi3pj]

Best wishes to Mr Williams from Mrs Wilson, good luck with your channel. So pleased you enjoyed your cruise Helen despite Rob’s frightening episode. Our friends have lived in the Caribbean since they went on a two year contract in the mid 1960s but stayed on, moved to various islands and eventually retired on the tiny island of Anguilla. Fabulous memories🌞🌹🍀

[@Helenmaryjo]

How lovely. Thank you xx

[@joanjackson5860]

Glad you enjoyed your cruise and so pleased Rob is OK xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you xx

[@wendywebster-sv2li]

Glad you had a good time despite the weather being changeable love Virgin Gorda it’s fun . So glad Rob was ok must have been very scary for you both especially when it was a sea day. It’s terrible really the way things have changed. I remember as a kid we used to keep a spare key hanging in the outside loo or even the back door open ! These days when we go away we have lights coming on in different rooms at different times , alarm on , window locks , the place is like Fort Knocks . Looking forward to the next episode. X

[@Helenmaryjo]

Ah, thank you xx

[@JuneBaker-qs7yh]

It’s always a worry when you’re so far away if you might have to be hospitalised etc and having to be flown home. We’ve done so many Caribbean cruises that we’ve decided not to do anymore long ones now. Glad you enjoyed it

[@Helenmaryjo]

Yes, it was a bit of a scare. Thank you xx

[@brigitteschaefers]

It‘s the first of December today and I came back from my holiday in Gran Canaria two days ago. Yes, Christmas is very very near and I will probably not get away from my sewing machine because I promised so many Christmas gifts to my family. I only hope my husband is up to the task of keeping the house clean because I won’t have time for that 😂.

[@Helenmaryjo]

The time goes so quickly at this time of year, so busy, it's bonkers really xx

[@myoung6204]

Getting in quick before I forget - William - the lovely guy on the bridge. Sounds like you had a great time Helen except of course poor Rob taking ill. So glad he was cared for so well. Yes there are a lot of comedians in Belfast! 😅 My brother in law always manages to catch me when I've just taken a sip of tea or something and leaves me spluttering! His poor wife just rolls her eyes, she's heard them all before in their long married life. Looking forward to seeing some of the clothes you took away. Glad you're both back safe and well. 🎉

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you very much xx
