Great vlog I had a bit of chuckle when Mat said the bus journey was like a wind tunnel and cold it brought memories of me and my daughter on a open top bus in New York in November I’ve never felt cold like it I’m enjoying your cruise memories xx

[@MattAndKelly]

😂it was like being in a wind tunnel 🤣, New York is a wonderful city, I took Kelly there for her 30th many years ago now🤔😆. Thanks for watching xx

[@welcomeautumn]

Thanks for the vid. Always keen to see what food options you come across, on board and onshore. ✌️

[@MattAndKelly]

Thank you for watching we are glad you liked it! 👍🏻

Hi you guys, thank you for that wonderful vlog. I have just had two shifts from hell and that really made me smile and lifted my spirits. I loved your filming around Las Palmas, it looks like a place I would very much enjoy. So enjoyed the little entertainment in the atrium at the end too. I really look forward to Fridays now to see whats coming next. Thank you so much, take care and stay safe both, love Sherrie xx

[@MattAndKelly]

Hi Guys. Another good one. Andersons was our favourite bar on the ship- great selections of gins . Still got the rum which we bought from our factory tour in Gran Canaria on the shelf ... like you do !! We sometimes do the open top bus but I am never convinced it’s the right think to do??? Keep them coming. Looking forward to Lanzarote next. Now that was a good trip.....😜 Take care Andrew & Jules xx

[@MattAndKelly]

Hi you two, hope you are both well? We loved it in Anderson Bar, we’ve done the open too vis a few times now in different ports and still not quite sure about them. Next vlog is our trip to the little island of Graciosa with you 😊. Stay safe Matt and Kelly xx

[@angelahorton5745]

Great video! Thank you! We were last in Gran Canaria at least 25 years ago but have never been to Las Palmas. The hop on hop off bus looks a good way to get around. I'd like to see the cathedral and the old town and have a walk along the beach so I think that's our day planned.

[@MattAndKelly]

Yes the bus is a good option to get to see a few things, wish we had a bit longer there to explore more but we still had a lovely day, the walk was lovely and relaxing 🙂 thanks for watching xx

[@janemayhew1442]

Hi Kelly & Matt, Great information around Gran Canaria, looks very nice along the prom for good walk We always get anxious about getting back to ship on time! Prefer to go on excursion if possible,. Thanks for showing your day on shore. We have changed from Brittania onto Iona to Fjords in June ,so enjoy seeing all of Iona has to offer. Looking forward to next video.

[@MattAndKelly]

Yes it was a lovely walk with lots of cafes and bars to stop off at along the way, we are glad you enjoyed the video, you will love Iona and especially to the amazing fjords 🥰 thanks so much for watching xx

[@janemayhew1442]

@@MattAndKelly Have you both got a cruise to look forward to this year?

[@MattAndKelly]

Yes we’ve booked a fly cruise for the first time…. Details to follow???😊

[@MaDaboutcruisin]

Hi guys, Memories, we have never been on a hop on/off bus maybe me and Mand should try one. We were sitting at a lovely little restaurant at the other end of the beach. Another great vlog. Layla is your newest fan, will tell you more in next message. Looking forward to Friday. Cheers guys. Love ya both Dave and Mandy xx

[@MattAndKelly]

Hi you two, we have been on a few hop on/off buses, still undecided on them, our favourite was Barcelona, but apart from that not really that special to be honest, you can tell Layla she’s our youngest fan, 😂😂still a fair bit of editing to go on the next one, hopefully finish it by tomorrow morning 🤞🏻🙄 Thanks for watching and your loyal support Love Matt and Kelly xx

[@Perfectjay36]

Food looks fab 👌 stay safe guys 👍 happy holidays

[@MattAndKelly]

It was fab thanks, you all stay safe as well, thanks for watching 😊

[@breadyegg]

When we were there in December some time some year, they had a surfing competition going on. Was not expecting that! A great waterfront to take a constitutional along and some interesting shops and bars when you head into town.

[@MattAndKelly]

Yes there were a lot of surfers all the way along, we really enjoyed our time walking along the seafront and the sun came out which makes all the difference. Thanks for watching and for your comment xx

[@leeandjancruise]

Another good vlog from you both, a walk through the town then along the prom is always a good experience, pity many on the ship don't know about it. Also the old town is a great experience as well, if only more cruise passengers were more adventurous.

[@MattAndKelly]

Yeah we had a good day, just needed more time really but I’m sure we will be back in the Canaries at some point in the future👍🏻

[@elainehirst]

I'm on Iona in three weeks time, can't wait! Looks like you had a nice time but am still not impressed with the choice of food for you. Hope they get their act together, otherwise it's going to be very samey for you in the future. Great vlogs, keep them coming xx

[@MattAndKelly]

Hope you have a fantastic holiday, not long now😆, we hope the food does improve as well🤞🏻thanks for your support and for watching 😊xx

[@tracystevenson2139]

What stop did you get off for that beach / shopping centre area?

[@sarahfilbey275]

I was wondering whether you had emailed ahead to the manager, like you said after the last maiden voyage you went and spoke to her about the food. Did you think there was more choice on this cruise foodwise for you? Also loved that little acrobatic show you came across. Looking forward to the next one. Do you tend to travel with a travel debit card like Monza or do you take cash with you for shopping in port?

[@MattAndKelly]

We did email ahead but the email the the manager gave us was wrong, we subsequently sent a few emails off to other people/departments but heard nothing back at all, although saying that the food had improved dramatically from the staycation cruise, after all it couldn’t have got any worse 😂 We tend to take some foreign currency with us but also take a credit card as well. Thanks for watching 😊
