[@1TheBrammers]

@@clairefurmage6581 thanks Claire we really loved it! It was a very pleasant surprise and we loved been in a new city pretty much everyday Thankyou for watching ☺️

[@Helloguys45]

You need to remember with the deluxe , you get extra things like costa coffees , iced caramel lattes expensive wines , higher grade spirits . As I love 2-3 Costa coffees £10 , 6 waters £10 , 2 wines with dinner £16 , 4 cocktails/Spirits £30 , plus if it’s a sea day , probably 3 drinks in the day . But I do get the deluxe for £50 with my discount. And I’m solo . If I know anyone , I will order them a drink or 2 lol 😂. Make sure I’m hitting £70 a day minimum

@@Helloguys45 yeah I know buddy we was thinking about it this trip to be honest

Hello Matt and Aaleya so my wife Carolyn found your 1st cruise series Iona, I don't know if she's subscribed to your KZbin channel yet, Iona was our 2nd P&O cruise, I've also started following your Instagram account as well, anyway I've liked this embarkation video and subscribed

[@1TheBrammers]

@@DavesAdventures Thankyou both for watching it’s must appreciated I’m glad you liked the videos

[@alisonhedgecox3763]

We were first time cruisers at the end of October on Iona,in fact as we left the ship on the Saturday you guys boarded your cruise! We went to France and Spain and loved the whole 7 days on Iona,so much so that we booked another cruise for May to the fjords 😊

[@1TheBrammers]

@@alisonhedgecox3763 I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Isnt it a nice ship! I bet that was nice hopefully the weather was good! We’re off on the fjords in 2026

[@PetePoole]

We’re cruise virgins and got to say that’s the best vlog we’ve seen, probably going to book just waiting to view the rest of your vlog

[@1TheBrammers]

@@PetePoole aww Pete that’s so kind of you to say! We try and be informative yet not waffle too much and also make it more of a day in the life so I’m really happy it’s helped! Thankyou for watching!

[@PetePoole]

@ have you got more from this cruise and when are you releasing them

[@1TheBrammers]

@ yes of course there will be another 3/4 videos and every Saturday at 0900☺️

[@PacHeightsTraveller]

Great vlog! Ship looks fantastic. Have a blast.

[@1TheBrammers]

@@PacHeightsTraveller Thankyou buddy! It was a great trip the series gets better by the vlog so enjoy ☺️

[@corinneheywood]

Looking forward to this series - I found you through your Florida vlogs but I'm doing the same cruise itinerary with MSC in January 😊 Not looking forward to the drive down from South Yorks but love the idea of not having to fly to go on holiday!

[@1TheBrammers]

@@corinneheywood aww Thankyou for watching it’s very much appreciated we love all types of holidays and love to share! Your not wrong it’s not a nice drive but to be honest the drive back is so much easier after sailing back and sleeping rather than a 8 hour flight haha Thankyou for watching

[@Castlesandcoasterscouple]

We really want to do the Iona one day! Well defo be watching the rest of the series 🎉

[@1TheBrammers]

@@Castlesandcoasterscouple thanks for watching guys! It’s such a great series something completely different for us we loved it! A great way to travel to places you may never get the time to go individually

[@mrsprivate1678]

Where in Yorkshire are you from ?

[@1TheBrammers]

@ not a million miles of Doncaster 🙂

@ small world 🌍 😂

[@james82]

£5 per day parking at the West Quay Shopping centre. I’ve used it before, so much cheaper than cruise parking.

[@1TheBrammers]

@@james82 was there not a limit on how many days bud? And also is it monitored as that was a big thing for us Thanks for the recommendation though ☺️

[@ronnyrhodes68]

We did the Iona in July amazing we also from Yorkshire (Barnsley) 😊

[@1TheBrammers]

@@ronnyrhodes68 ooo nice which itinerary did you do? And also the real question if you follow football are you a reds fan 🙏🏻 If your not into it I’ll let you off hahaha Thankyou for watching!

[@ronnyrhodes68]

@@1TheBrammers we did the fyords it was good but we like a warmer cruise 🚢 and yes I am a reds fan but sadly don’t go to games due to work commitments so have to watch on stream ☺️

[@1TheBrammers]

@ oh I bet that was amazing though! We’re doing that in 2026! And good man love to hear that

[@ronnyrhodes68]

@@1TheBrammers my only advice would be if you can afford it book a select fare balcony cabin so you can choose your cabin and have the amazing sail into and out off the fyords ☺️👍

[@1TheBrammers]

@ that’s what we’ve done buddy!

[@thelawgreens]

We guess you’re going to Brighton!

[@1TheBrammers]

@@thelawgreens oooo close but no cigar 😘

@ boo

[@callum9880]

If my2 boys are sharing was there option for beds be separated or separate duvets? Or not enough space. The drinks package on board price £48 PP can one person just purchase or both have buy? Eg one person one package the other person no package.

[@1TheBrammers]

@@callum9880 I think you can get separate beds but you’d have to request! In terms of a drinks package all people in the cabin have to have the same package unless a adult has a alcoholic package obviously the child doesn’t Thankyou for watching ☺️☺️

[@thelawgreens]

Damn we were wrong, it’s sunny Southampton.

[@1TheBrammers]

Oh yes you were

[@matthewmoss616]

Errrrr you literally went past my office and didn't say hi? I will have people waiting for you on your return...... 😂

[@1TheBrammers]

@@matthewmoss616 excuse me mr moss I’ll be saving £££ next time and parking in your drive 😂 hope your well buddy

[@dbrook7763]

Room is tiny

[@1TheBrammers]

@@dbrook7763 we walked in and was actually very happy with the room it was a regular sized room I believe

[@luvjets]

Hi M&A - Love the travel day and holiday anticipation! Absolutely "giddy" boarding the cruise for the first time - love the reaction - it can be overwhelming. 🛳 Glad the buffet could meet your "beige" requirements. What was the ship's capacity? Was it a full cruise? I'm sure you'll have an incredible time - we loved our cruise on Princess Cruises. We're counting the days - cheers & hugs to you both!!!!😎❤🍻

[@1TheBrammers]

@@luvjets hi both Thankyou for watching as always!! It was amazing and we was so excited I think it’s capacity was 5400 and it wasn’t far off! Plenty of beige bites on offer as you will have seen haha! Cruising is just another holiday we love! Thankyou both🙂🙂
