Oooh, right then. You two have successfully entertained me & taken me away from my own problems. Even for just a little while..and I thank you!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh Suzie thank you for watching!

[@amyhill7853]

I really enjoy both of you and I rarely like anyone lol. You guys have made me smile many times watching this series. Great personalities! It’s helping me mentally prepare for my trip on the Journey in June. Taking my 2 teenage daughters to Greece. Say a little prayer for me.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Don’t tell anyone but everyone says Journey is the best ship in the fleet 🤫

[@imhutch5443]

Have been loving this series - both of you are awesome hosts. I actually feel like I am on the cruise with you! Thanks for posting it all, good and bad. Cheers!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

That's great to hear you are loving it! 😍

[@brendonskilton2611]

I've been loving all your videos all the way from NZ, have given me so many laughs, they're like watching friends on holiday seeing what they're up to. Have even gone way back watching your campervan ones..keep the vids coming

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Brendon, we are away in our camper van at the moment, the weathers not been very kind but it’s always good to get away 😃

[@Gazza-E]

Thanks for another great video. We were going on Quest to Antarctica but already had doubts after some appalling and apathetic customer service, seems that it's a company in decline after being taken over by a private equity company. We had a cabin right at the back & after seeing the movement you experienced we decided with that & our experience so far with Azamara not to risk the Southern Ocean so cut our losses. Good news is that we saw your blog on MSC Virtuosa Yacht Club so booked a 23 night cruise from Dubai to Southampton. We're also going to Oz late 2024 with Silversea so will get to visit some of the places you went - keep up the good work😀

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Your welcome! Difficult to know what to do sometimes but looks like you have some great trips booked!

[@marieliebetrau8948]

Ooh, I've been excitedly waiting for this latest video in the series!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh thanks, hope you enjoy it!

[@barbara88-]

Love you guys! Another fantastic video!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Barbara, 😃😃

[@angelamathlin4617]

Thank you for sharing brilliant video it look like beautiful places

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! It is such a diverse and amazing country!

[@cherifurr3935]

Very nice video. I love your sense of humor! Lovely dolphins. So great that Carole got to meet an old colleague! I remember the heat I experienced in December in Sydney, and wasn’t it weird to see the Christmas decorations in the hot weather? I’d love to go back and see more of the country. The Azamara night looks amazing! Strange they had that change in the excursion. Sorry you had the rocking’ seas, some rain and saw no kangaroos, though. Too hot for them during the day. You two are so cute. I hope I get to meet you, the Cruise Buoys, Cruise Monkeys, LizzyLou, Bob and Holly, Emma and Gary Bembridge in person on a cruise some day! I got back from 3 weeks on the Oceania Marina last night, and I’m already having cruise withdrawals. Calm seas, great food, 1200 people and not one drop of rain.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Cheri, great to hear you enjoy our videos. It was strange being somewhere hot at Christmas! Hope to see you on a cruise ship one day!

[@FraserAtSea]

It was Eden that I visited on my 3-night Princess cruise out of Sydney - it's amazing how the weather can completely change your experience in a port. My day there was stunning, mostly due to the fact that I could just go and relax on a beautiful beach - it looks like a totally different place for your port call!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Agree the weather definitely makes all the difference! sadly it wasn't on our side that day!

[@richardg8651]

Always fun and funny .

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Richard!

[@maryannforth2725]

Leaving Adelaide and kangaroo island going east is notoriously rough and people don't realise it but it can be really bad

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It certainly can!

[@dawndavies203]

Honestly you two put up with so much, I’d have been on the next plane home, I know you have sorted it with the cruise line, but the problem is you can’t get that time back and it was Christmas

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It was certainly a rollercoaster!

[@barbarap5278]

What a fun video!!! You guys are so awesome!!! To bad you missed your excursion, they should've sent you a note to your cabin...

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Barbara! Certainly wasn't the best day!

[@richardburlton4034]

Cunard held a World Voyage Evening in Dubai at the conference center at the Atlantis Palm Hotel and had to deal with 1,200 guests. The logistics there and back were handled well but the pre-dinner drinks, the meal and entertainment was decidedly mixed. I am glad you had a good time at Adelaide. Pity there were no kangaroos, but the dolphins looked great. We saw very few on our trip but close up to whales at Cabo San Lucas and seals at San Francisco. Was the Ausi burger kangaroo as I really enjoyed one in Sydney? Pity about Eden and the missed excursion, it rained when we were in Cairns but that didn't matter as we went to the Great Barrier Reef and you tend to get wet anyway when snorkelling

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It is amazing how they organise these events! No it was beef, we didn't try kangaroo!

[@scruff520]

Brilliant video guys, made me laugh xx

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much! 😃

[@soniacattley1186]

As a school kid there used to be German days in Hahndorf where high school students studying German would gather there, the shop staff would only talk to us in German and we had to last the day doing activities in town not speaking any English

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh really that's cool!

[@RogerKalleske-bx1mq]

Australian Rules Football is played at the Adelaide Oval as well.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes thanks for that!

[@brettmeldrum2838]

We have been lucky with the weather when we have been in Eden, it is a beautiful place. Love your pronunciation of Merimbula .😂

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

LOL thanks!

[@gregneil612]

The Adelaide strikers are a big bash cricket team that play at Adelaide oval. The Adelaide “bombers” are the Australian Rules football team that play at Adelaide oval.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks for the info! 😀

[@2011Cape]

25:50 Nutella 😂 You two crack me up!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Carole’s knowledge of anatomy is a little bit better than mine🤣🤣🤣

[@ToddRileyRealEstate]

The Patio is a nice place for lunch. I get the Ultimate Drinks Package. It also includes champagne, better wines and Evian or Perrier waters.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

We loved the Patio. We upgraded to the Ultimate Package towards the end of the cruise as we had OBC left and enjoyed what was on offer too!

[@markeaston7353]

another excellent video thanks guys. BTW, the Strikers are a cricket franchise team, not one of the 2 local football teams lol.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks mark, glad you enjoyed it, I’ve realised the error of my ways with the strikers but the video had already gone out😃

[@markeaston7353]

​@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel details details, who cares? Awesome series. Three weeks now until we join Quest in Singapore.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol true! Not long now!

[@williamjusick2404]

Always something that turns out different than you planed but you still smile😅

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks William! 😍

[@dianacarragher5845]

Hello Paul & Carole you really have had a bad luck with the rough seas This weekend Adelaide Oval is hosting Gather round all the AFL clubs from across the States in the eastern states it's all Rugby League. Have a great weekend from Di in Sydney.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Gloucester where we live is a big rugby city but it’s rugby union, you have a great weekend to😊

[@dianacarragher5845]

Yes Rugby Union is big here too all the posh church school's play it Rugby League is the working class game but has huge following in NSW & QLD lot of money in the game.

[@arthurscruises9310]

Glad you enjoyed my home town of Adelaide, sorry we put the oven on for you!!! Adelaide Strikers are the cricket team of Adelaide, Adelaide crows & Port Adelaide Power are the AFL teams. Just thought you would like to know the difference, cause some people might get upset about what you said. Glad your enjoying Australia 🇦🇺 😀

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol the oven was hot! Thanks for the explanation! 😀

[@peterjaro6804]

I know you have got this question several times since you disembarked Azamara, but now... so long after, you can look at your experience in a more 'neutral' way: was Azamara worth the money (and I am not talking about your destination; Australia, that is ofcourse fantastic) but the ship experience? ...and also, do you think it would have been just as good (with the same destinations) if you sailed with Princess or even HAL?

[@janemayhew1442]

Lovely views of your Adelaide trip, shame you had some rocking seas, seems worse on smaller ships , you coped well 😊 We join Brittania tomorrow, hoping for calm seas to Spain and Portugal 🤞

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Wish we had more time in Adelaide to explore more. Have a great time on Brittania! 😍

[@gaylenedavis4692]

Loving your vlogs, will you be doing a vlog of your time in Melbourne?

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes we will be doing a seperste vlog, we have a few Iona videos to go out after this series then we will work on Melbourne 😀

[@InnocentsAbroad]

The little German town looked cool! Like the Azamazing venue being the pitch, but what, you guys don’t like Jazz? 🤨🤣 Kangaroo Island at least had dolphins and great weather! The harbor looked beautiful! 🛌 Crisps? 😂😂 A bit of an adventure with Eden…. they should have made an announcement just like you said! 2% 💻 😂😂😂😂

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks for watching! We did have a great time in Adelaide and Kangaroo Island, we loved Australia definitely need to return one day! Sure you can relate to the 2% - was a tad frustrating! 😂😂

[@ladybug16421]

You two are too Cute🤗

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol thanks! 🤣

[@kellywatson7219]

German Arms always serve great sausage :)

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

The food was great!

[@LadyG.]

The temp reminds me of a trip I took to Orlando, Florida USA. I don't do well in heat, but I wanted to visit Universal Studios and see the new Harry Potter themed area, so I "trained" for eight weeks. I went on 90 minute walks every day in temps ranging 75 to 85 degrees F. Well, mid-October in Orlando for my day in Universal Studios it was 98 °F. I spent fifty percent of my time in the park tucked into little shops with air conditioner. It was brutal.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Wow fair play to you for putting the work in, did you know Carole went to school with Harry Potter author J K Rowling?

[@LadyG.]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Oh wow! No, I didn't know that - very cool!

[@shirleyedwards3801]

Use on board credit for & dry cleaning so clothes nice on return😊

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes good plan!

[@yvonnemulvihill4456]

Thank you both for another great vlog. I wouldn’t have been happy either, Pauline Morgan I’m with you, why didn’t they just make an announcement 😮😮

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Yvonne! Yes easily sorted with good communication!

[@jollyrob]

For a moment there I thought you meant left at the port AFTER the excursion 😱 so could've been worse!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol true! 🤣

[@cherylsemrau7100]

So sad about your mishaps. I'm from Canada and I have been to Australia.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

We had a few, though lots of high moments through out the cruise too!

Couldn’t see any pineapple on the Aussie burger😃

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It was definitely in there! 😊😊

[@kenexx]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel then it really was an Aussie burger. Have so enjoyed this series despite the ups and downs you had. Can’t wait for the next episode!
