This looked like a great trip although I think that cabin would have been a bit claustrophobic for me! Was that another pull down bed / bunk behind you? Taormina is gorgeous btw, one of our favourite places.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes this cabin could sleep 3. Full cabin review will be out on Friday!

[@GarethStringer]

@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel I had better block out two and half hours from my diary then! 😂

[@yvonnemulvihill4456]

Thank you Paul and Carole, I absolutely loved the vlog. ❤❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! Great to hear you loved it!

[@Ed_Post]

Love the mast climbing!! 🎉❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Glad I done it, but was knackered afterwards!

[@janemayhew1442]

Thanks both, Really enjoyed this adventure , wow would love to swim in the sea from ship. Well done Paul climbing the sails 😮

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It was wonderful swimming from the ship! The views from the mast were amazing too!

[@Ed_Post]

Love sailing past (smoky) Stromboli -and a good Captain’s speech! And the eventual Baked Alaska! 😊

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

A great day!

[@brigidconroy2111]

@@Ed_Post Oooh Baled Alaska yum

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes don't see it so much theses days!

[@teresajarkowska5792]

A thoroughly enjoyable vlog series with a twist. You clearly had a great time on a totally different type of cruise. Thank you.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It was a fabulous trip!

[@cruisecrazy7066]

I sailed on the Royal Clipper a few years ago and I LOVED it. When they can, they actually SAIL that ship. Pray for wind. Strong and from the right direction.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It is a great experience! Yes we had the wind power a few times!

[@brigidconroy2111]

Well done Paulie🎉 it would NOT have been me holding the 360 and holding on awww

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol! Thank you!

[@paulknowles8469]

Your videos are always a great way to research travel destinations! We never would have considered sailing on this ship until seeing this series! Thanks and keep the videos coming!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks for watching! This was such a different experience and one that we loved, definitely recommend!

[@KateS1172]

Right then! Well done for this!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Kate!

[@LesleyClarke-px9nr]

Thank you both for allowing us to join you on your cruises!! I love being on your trips just love it!! What a stunning ship with all the sales up!! I really feel like I have had a holiday

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

You are welcome! Great to hear you really enjoy them!

[@Lorna.R]

Well done on getting it finished Carole x

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! With just 35 minutes to go! 🤣

[@Lorna.R]

@ oh what a shame. It’s out now and you can forget all about it! Really enjoying it (apart from seeing the area below the water line 🫣) Not for me but love watching something different ships

[@cruisecrazy7066]

I like the trumpet music background. Easy to listen to, and unusual.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RachelSmith-hs8fd]

What an amazing experience.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It was!

[@catherinehawkins1314]

Well done Carole on getting this done on s hedike 😍 Lipari looks amazing. Well done on the mast climb Paul, amazing views!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Catherine! It is a miracle lol!

[@catherinehawkins1314]

@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel just realised my magic phone fingers didn't correct schedule 🤣🤣

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol we knew what you meant!

[@Ted_K_Have_a_nice_day]

Good times! Thanks for bringing me along! ❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

You are very welcome!

[@mooman547]

A nice finish to the series and good insight into a Clipper cruise. Would have never given them much thought in the past, but will add it to the to do list.👍

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! We think you would really enjoy it!

[@suziqt8389]

great to watch..ty

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tomskyring1747]

Fantastic series ,worth all your unplanned extra effort Carole and fair play for the mast climb Mr Morgan - hope there was a thatchers at end .really interesting med alternative

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much Tom! Definitely a great alternative for the med!

[@barbaragriessel1814]

Fabulous video. Loved Paul's 'pole' shots as always. Paul is very brave climbing the mast. Italy is so fabulous, one of my favourite places to visit, so picturesque and full of my favourite Roman history and archeaology. Ship is absolutely amazing. Thank you Carole for doing this for us (again). 🥰

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much! Italy is a fabulous country!

[@GingerRobertson-e5w]

How wonderful to have the Baked Alaska parade. Haven't seen that on a ship in years.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes that was pretty special!

[@musicfoodie8420]

We did Royal Clipper around the Caribbean a while ago and had a wonderful time, you have reminded me that I would like to do another around Europe, perhaps including Venice. Thank you for such a lovely video.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

You are welcome! So many great itineraries out there!

[@KeithAshton-l3k]

Hi to you both Special message for Paul. Absolutely brilliant climbing up the ropes and getting to mast platform. Great pictures. Great effort. Very very well done. However, not our sort of vessel. Carole Windstar does cruises around Tahitian and Marquesa Islands. Take care

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much! Definitely not for everyone. Thanks for the Windstar info!

[@rogerjubb9092]

You are both funny in the nicest possible way.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol thanks! 😀

[@PuenteAJ]

Hi Paul and Carol, lovely to see you chatting, and I enjoyed your video. "Makes me feel like I know you from somewhere" 😂 Quebec perhaps??? Keep up the good work.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol thanks for watching!

[@SoloonaCruise]

I do like the vibe of this type of ship. I will be saving the pennnies for a trip on a ship like this in future. I would lookong for going in a slightly cooler period. That seawater looks stunning.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes it was very hot, but as you said the water was amazing.

[@deidresmith2335]

We were in Italy in July and yep it was hot....we were sailing on Queen Victoria ....we really enjoy your videos...thank you

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

The heat is definitely something to consider! Great to hear you enjoy our videos 😀

[@barbaralazier8352]

That tender really looked this it was bobbing around

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It did get choppy!

[@barbaralazier8352]

I would have been popping my seasick meds morning and night

[@SimonParnell-b5x]

What a fab vlog...Looking at this I think you would really enjoy The Windsurf ship...Its quite similar as in it has the sails too...such a fab experience...

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! Yes something we need to look at!

[@lynnmortemore2184]

So love the look of this, great video. As my grandad used to say; I’ll book it, ‘when my boat comes in. It hasn’t gone out yet’!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

lol, hopefully it will soon, glad you enjoyed it

[@leegallagher3111]

Another great video and enjoyed the live again yesterday. Has Paul ever been to the Black country and tried our famous orange battered chips. Makes not eating healthily well worth the diabetes risk lol

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

I have tried the orange battered chips and can confirm that they are delicious 😋

[@claireejbtravels]

Some lovely relaxing music choices here. Think this is my favourite video of the Clipper vlogs. Not finished it yet but had to comment.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Aww thanks! Lots of comments are good, so great to comment as you go along?

[@helenbramson3730]

This has been a fabulous watch. Up so close and personal I almost feel like I’ve been on the cruise with you! Which is great as this is something I’ve always wanted to do but not sure if I’m fit enough for it. So an extra special thank you from me and wishing you a very Happy New Year 🎉

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Ah thanks Helen, so glad you enjoyed it, Happy new year to you too!

[@michaelshearer7692]

Looks fab!! Away to do our first none cruise since before Covid. A wee change!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! Have a great time!

[@michaelshearer7692]

Thank you 😊

[@michaelelias1016]

Really enjoyed the Clipper videos as we have been thinking about that trip too. Do you have a GoPro on your selfie stick or is it something else? Thanks for your efforts and keep them coming!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! We do use a Go Pro for regular filming but on the long pole is an insta 360 camera 😀

[@brigidconroy2111]

Lipari is absolutely stunning but that bucking bull tender is an absolute no go😂

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Cinnamon52]

Thanks, great to see. I know it’s not for me. The tender rides and climbing on and off would be too much.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It is challenging, so definitely not for everyone!

[@claireejbtravels]

Wow! Paul climbing that mast! Awesome. The 360 views up there were superb.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! The views were fabulous!

[@johnworthington9996]

It does look very romantic but I think it’s not one for us!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Definitely not for everyone, we certainly had a fabulous time!

[@kathywhitfield8515]

Giardini naxos is in the part of Sicily that the Ancient Greeks occupied. The Sicilian cuisine reflects that, along with north African spices. There are also blonde,blue eyed Sicilians from Norman and Gith invaders.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh wow thanks for the info!

[@LanaCarter-z9c]

Great content!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thank you!
