Hi everyone, hope you enjoy the vlog! Here’s a breakdown of costs for anyone asking: The cruise was £442.50 per person based on 2 sharing a balcony cabin. I didn’t opt for the drinks package, you can take a bottle of alcohol on board with you and the bars are reasonably priced in my opinion to pay as you go. I booked it through SeaScanner and used a discount code they had at the time. Train to Southampton from London was £23 return, you can get advance singles from £6. Coach + Keukenhof ticket 36 euro + approx 20 euro Uber each way to the coach departure point from the cruise terminal. You can also book this as an excursion with P&O. Evening canal boat tour 19 Euro. Hope that helps! 😀

[@kevinmarsham3500]

Hi Mr C yet again another FANTASTIC vlog you are definitely the new Jane McDonald all we need now is a song at the end seriously though I really hope one of the top tv channels finally see how brilliant you are at all holiday vlogs and give you your own tv show or a guest spot on another programme to do the holiday section as you are so good looking forward to your next vlog 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mariajefferies8555]

❤wonderful to see the Tulips in Amsterdam ❤

[@janettesinclair6279]

What a wonderful trip - the flowers in the Keukenhof gardens are stunning - and I loved the diving ducks! Such beautiful floral displays, and I remember that the perfume in the glasshouses was just amazing. It was good to have time in Amsterdam as well, and the mini cruise made it extra special. Thank you for taking us along to enjoy it all.

[@olbird7647]

The towels were hilarious!! What a fab touch 😂

[@soarinpanda8walker563]

[@marymanning5150]

[@rinavanderveen994]

🌷🇾🇪🌷 How nice to see you here in The Netherlands !🌷🇾🇪🌷

[@dollyseenauth435]

Hello Mr.C. What a fabulous holiday Vlog. I have enjoyed the tour of the Ship. Beautiful sight seeing, places and things. Wonderfull to see the Beautiful display of Tulips and the flowers. Hope the birthday Boy had a fabulous party. Cheers 🍻. As always, you look fabulous. Me and my better half went to the Nederland many years ago on a business trip. I have my Nephew and a few relatives lived in Rotterdam and Amsterdam . Loved it. Hope you had a wonderful time on your mini Vacation.

[@joanware6473]

Wow that was lovely, and the bluebells were gorgeous, I have some that come up every year in my front garden, the tulips and floweres were stunning, I bet that was a lovely relaxing time, thanks for sharing.

[@robbijj]

Hi Mr. Carrington. I started binging your channel at about Christmas time and I am about halfway through through (I have gone backwards then decided to start at the beginning). I had just watched your trip to Amsterdam in 2019 when you posted this one. I haven't been to Amsterdam but it reminds me of Copenhagen. I absolutely loved seeing Copenhagen by boat when I was there. Thanks for the little tour today ❤

[@kimberley1195]

Hi Mr C what a lovely trip Dainty Dairies would have appreciated all those flowers 🌺 😊

[@mikki3961]

You looked so happy Iwan! Once again, Happy Birthday and thank you for sharing a slice of your life with us!

[@elainemorgan5629]

Although I am a Brit I live in the Netherlands. We were at Keukenhof on Monday 6th May. Yes its beautiful!

[@markstevens9660]

Is ‘ducks’ a rhyming euphemism 😜 …excellent work as always and Many Happy Returns ….l🎉🎂❤️😘.

[@d.d.mac.3773]

What a stunning tulip display! They are just gorgeous. Thank you for showing us such beauty.

[@FraserAtSea]

How have I not found your channel before? Nonetheless, glad to find you now - hello!

[@megangilchrist4203]

Love Amsterdam..great place to chill... those towel animals were brilliant.. especially the mouse ☘️

[@janeoxley4829]

The tulips in Amsterdam are gorgeous.

[@pamthomas-wo9du]

Thank you for taking us on another fabulous cruise. I just love all the places that you go, because I will never be able to see it in person. I enjoy listening to your English accent. Thanks again for your videos. From a fan in Colorado USA!

[@juliebrooke6099]

You can ask the steward to rearrange the beds if it’s not configured how you want. Great that you can get down to Southampton so easily and reasonably for a cruise.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Happy Birthday Mr.C that was a really nice way to spend your birthday. Thank you for sharing your trip with us ❤

[@annbannister1118]

Aw Iwan hope you have a wonderful time ,😊

[@marlenemacfarlane6199]

Another beautiful cruise with your friends the tulips were beautiful

[@sarahfilbey275]

Also wanted to comment on the beautiful music choice you used, fabulous and relaxing.

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

How beautiful are the flowers there? Love the colours. Happy to see you had a great birthday Mr.C. I'm convinced some kind of witchcraft happens in our wardrobes because my clothes also shrink when they've been in there😂 I am more than happy to watch travel vlogs from absolutely anywhere, I love seeing different places. Thanks for taking us with you again.

[@lawriefoster5587]

Hi Mr. C. What a treat to see this on our rainy and chilly Sunday here in Philadelphia!! Thank you so much and I was able to pick out about 15 tulip varieties for my imaginary garden. I miss it so!! Glad you had such grand weather! Stay well. Lawrie

[@Angela-1974]

I went to Amsterdam one Christmas and got to do a lovely riverboat cruise whilst watching a spectacular watercolour light show. Visited Ann Frank's house on Christmas eve and on Christmas day went to the Van Gogh museum. Wouldn't mind going back but in the summertime so it's warmer.

[@silverfox70]

Here I go again on my Sunday travels with you thanks so much you brighten my day!

[@marilynthomson9564]

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful video! Your photography is outstanding. I was in Amsterdam back in the ancient time of 1971 as a student backpacker. Your video brought back so many wonderful memories. Thank you so much.

[@WildflowerNJ1]

What a beautiful display of tulips! Thank you for taking us along. ♥

[@dianeprice5798]

Afternoon Mr Carrington, lovely vlog on your travels on your cruise ship, hope you and your partner had an amazing time. Room is good, i would bring my own wine to put in the fridge in my room, also box of chocolates, i dont drink loads so i dont really need drinks package. Tulip 🌷 and flowers looks beautiful in that park , thanks for sharing your trip 🍹🌷

[@denises9426]

I don’t always have time to comment on your videos but I love your channel, especially the travel videos. Great job! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@danicacharles4221]

What a fab vlog ❤️ How stunning the flowers 🌷🌷🌷were nature is so colourful !!! The towels and your birthday signage how cute... 😂 Hope, you had a fabulous birthday and thank you for sharing your trip it looked amazing. 😊

[@worldcapers]

Thank you Mr C for this particular cruise vlog a lovely reminder for me of my very 1st cruise with a girlfriend on PO Ventura last spring to Amsterdam celebrating her big birthday. We took the evening canal cruise too and went to the Van Gogh Museum next day. Had a really fab time! Tulip Gardens next time maybe....⛴️🌷💐

[@chrisburns3250]

We were on Ventura for 35 days earlier this year to USA & Caribean. New Orleans was fabulous. Have also been to Amsterdam and visited Anne Frank's House which was amazing and did a canal trip as well, but it wS not tulip season which must be amazing. Great blog and quick turnaround time, well done.

[@darrencritchley5425]

Great video lovely to watch sat in the sun in the garden 😊

[@carolebourges5597]

The gardens looks so beautiful.🌷

[@alisonh890]

Hi Mr C, I hope the birthday went well. How beautiful to see all those tulips and the scenes of Amsterdam.❤

[@sandyc5331]

What a lovely trip, thanks for sharing ❤

[@janetstraw191]

Yes! I have been to Amsterdam several times. On one of my visits I stayed in a lovely little hotel to attend a week-long Floristy Course in Aalsmeer at the ‘Boerma Institute’. We visited the Flower Market whilst in session trading. Great fun and great memories!🙋‍♀️🇺🇸🥰‼️

[@carolr9301]

Hi Mr Carrington. I'd love to see you on a cruise. Ventura looks pretty good. You can ask the steward to change the beds to a queen. I looked the towel animals and the cake was brilliant. You can't have a drinks package on cruises less than 5 days. I like the short cruises, Amsterdam looks lovely in the sunshine. It rained constantly when I was there. The prices for the cruise are pretty good.

[@lyndahunter1183]

Superb...love Amsterdam..memories thank you

[@user-fg2jy2qz7k]

Loved it, you do the best travel stories Mr Carrington. 😊

[@KateMcCabe1]

[@boxoffrogs9712]

What a lovely relaxing break. Wonderful to see actual tulips near Amsterdam and your towel art in the cabin was fantastic... so cool that Dennis did that for you. I'd really quite like to go to the Shetland Isles with you from the comfort of my sofa.. it might be a bit chilly but the scenery should be amazing :)

[@Heather-qz6ee]

I was so excited to see this as we have booked this exact cruise in September. Obviously no tulips then but excited to see the ship and we have a balcony booked too. Thankyou for all the info - even more excited now !

[@melaniewalker6420]

Yes I have been on Ventura. Like you say a bit old school but I found that quite comforting. I've been on about 5 cruises and generally go with P and O.

[@willowtree4121]

Thank you for this video, never been on a cruise or to Amsterdam but this looks just what I should try for a first. Laid up with Covid so really appreciate the flowers and sunshine.
