Sky Princess Norwegian fjords ...Southampton bound .

Our Norwegian Fjords cruise was coming to an end as we headed back towards Southampton .This was our second and last sea day .
After breakfast we decided it was time to get some packing done ,then we had a leisurely morning around the ship .
After lunch we headed to the lido deck to watch and listen to Mockingbird as they belted out a few farewell tunes .
We were also given a rousing farewell by the Captain and many of the assembled crew in the atrium .
That evening we had dinner in the main dining room and was lucky to get a window seat .
We visited the Princess theatre to take in the production show Rock Opera which was very good
After sailing through a thunder storm we arrived back in Southampton .Disembarkation was much smoother than embarkation I am happy to say, we walked our luggage off without any problems
That was it, our first visit to the Fjords had come to an end , we will definitely be returning .

Brilliant, loved every minute of that. You two should do a live questions and answers session. Thanks for the entertainment. My and my wife really enjoyed that.

Loved watching your adventures this series ❤️. On to the next getting thtough them all slowly but surely 👍. You both should do your own fashion series 😀 and Pearl where do you get your energy from always dancing 💃 having a go at something 😀 👏 brilliant take care both of you ❤️ xxxA&J

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Morning A&J , hope you are both well . Fjords was one of our favourite places so we are going back in May 25 this time on Iona . That is very flattering Amanda concerning the fashion, I wonder if Primark could sponsor us 😂🤣. Pearl loves a dance then wonders why her feet hurt 😩. . Great to hear from you A&J thank you as ever .❤️❤️👋👋XX .

Great blog guys . Loved Pearl’s bowling 😂.,We are from Essex to . Thanks 😊

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Hazel , yeah Pearl had her own style when it came to the bowling. She did Essex proud 😂 . We are in Corringham . Thank you very much for watching and we appreciate you commenting.👋

[@carolinekeany6060]

Really enjoy watching your videos , pearl has great taste in clothes, always looks so glamorous ❤😊

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Caroline, thank you ,really glad that you enjoy them . Pearl is very grateful for your lovely comments . Thank you for watching and taking the time out to comment.👋

[@reneyoung2395]

Well, that has been some trip! I have really liked this one. Tell Pearl she bowls like me, and I'm not lefthanded. That was fun to watch. The weather sure did change a lot on that last day. It is cold here today. Our weather is very unpredictable. three days ago it was 87, and now it is in the 40s. I can't wait to see your next video, and when you tell Pearl her surprise! You both are a lot of fun to watch, and I'm so glad I can see these places through your eyes. I'm doing well, and I pray you both stay well.

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Rene , really glad you enjoyed watching our adventures. Good to know Pearl has the same bowling style as yourself 😂 . I was going to try and film the ship at night but as you saw the rain really came down. 87 down to the 40s that is a big change. We are having a bit of a late burst of heat at the moment which is nice . Really glad that you are well , we always look forward to your message. Take care hope you have a good week and hopefully we will have another video up ASAP . Xx

Your vlogs were excellent, going to look at Princess cruises as have only done P n O. Thank you x

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Sue , thank you , in our opinion Princess is a bit better as in Service and food . But it is more expensive . We really enjoy Princess. Thanks again for watching. Xx

[@feebster13162]

What a great blog you guys are great thank god Pearl wasn’t playing darts 😱 we’re from Essex and the dancing round your handbag with white stilettos was so funny…keep the blogs coming so good 👍

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Keith, thank you very much for those great comments. 😂 I think everyone was thankful she didn’t have darts in her hand . Only someone from Essex would get the stilettos and handbag comment , he didn’t have a clue . Thank you very much for watching. 👋

Great vlog as usual…when Pearl said about coming down the North Sea and him putting his foot down, I wanted to say driving like a tw*t again like he had to do on our Canaries cruise in March 😂😂

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Alexandra , how funny 😂😂 now you would have thought I would have remembered that remark . It was the ideal time to use it 😩 . Thank you very much for watching and you are now our official script writer. 👋

[@glendahill]

great collection of vids. I must say, it seemed like this was a noisy ship compared with the Iona, unless it was just at the time of recording.

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Glenda , the only noise I remember was Pearls singing 😂. Appreciate you watching this series, thank you . 🙏

[@glendahill]

Pearls singing was cracking!

Good morning to you both. Thank you for your latest series of vlogs. It reminded us of what a great holiday we had. Have a lovely week. Allan and Sharon

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Alan and Sharon, thank you very much hope you enjoyed them . Your right , you can always look back at them and bring back memories. It really was a great holiday, even all that cloud didn’t spoil it . Sun is still out here in Essex so will try and make the most of it . Hope you both have a good week as well.

Good afternoon to you both. We hope you are having a lovely weekend. Getting colder now. Not looking forward to getting up at 4am for work ((

@allan8388 Hi Alan and Sharon, hope you are enjoying the sunshine ☀️. Your right it has definitely turned a bit colder, we had a small bit of frost this morning. 4 o’clock 😩 I don’t miss all that one bit . Our earliest start time was 3am when I was on the road . Anyway we hope you both have a good week. Pearl &Brian

Ah sad when a cruise comes to an end, thank you for sharing it all with us, I've enjoyed every minute. I know you have some exciting trips coming up so can't wait for those. Which do you prefer, P&O or Princess Cruises?

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Sara , thank you for all your support on these latest vlogs . We are really glad that you enjoyed them . Both ships have their +&- service and food on Sky , and atrium and the open feeling of Iona. If you could combine both it would be perfect.. We enjoyed the fjords so much we are going back in 2025 . Thanks again for watching .

[@pbrunottephoto1646]

Notice Pearl is getting to be a videographer as well...I have to stop saying "bless her little heart "to my wife all the time...😂

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

There is no end to Pearls talent , she is such a talented girl . Singing, video, dancing, jack of all trades and a master of none. Bless her little heart 😂 . Thanks as always really appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@HomefromHomewithLinRich]

Thank you for sharing your memories of such a wonderful cruise. I loved re-living the trip with you guys. We are also from Essex where are you? Have you booked another cruise? We have but not until 2025 and it’s for 31 days! Can’t believe we will be away for that long……lots of pennies to be saved before that one lol Thanks again you two for a wonderful series ~ Lin xx

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Lin , thank you for watching along what turned out to be a great cruise, we really loved the Fjords . We are in a place called Corringham, not far from Billericay and Basildon. 31 days wow now that is a proper cruise . Lots of dresses needed for that one . Where are you off to ? . Our next one is on Ventura for New Year. Then Caribbean in February. We have gone mad and booked about 8 from now until 2025 . Life is too short , especially after Covid ruined everything. Thanks again Lin for all your support, take care xx

[@HomefromHomewithLinRich]

@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 OMG we are in Basildon! ....and i was born in Billericay!! I get my nails done in Corringham! I know it well as my aunts and cousins lived there, so a lot of my growing up was there. My dad worked for Mobil at Coryton and some of my family also lived there when it was a village many moons ago! My son also worked at Shell for a while. People complain about Basildon but we love it. We live in a lovely street with wonderful neighbours and couldn't wish for better. It's a small world isn't it? You are only ten minutes away from us!! ~ Wow! ~ Lin xx

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

How amazing is that , your right it is a small world . Pearl comes from Greys and I settled here in the early 70s after my Dad came out of the Navy . Then me and Pearl moved to Corringham in 1976 . It has changed but like you it’s what you make of it and we still love living here . How funny though all those millions of people watching you tube and we subscribe to people who are next door 😂.xx

[@HomefromHomewithLinRich]

@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 The cruise we are on in 2025 is a Mediterranean one. The highlight for me was seeing Bethlehem and Nazareth but I guess that's gonna be off the itinary now. It sounds like you have the right idea about living for today. We try to do that (money permitting) as I had a massive stroke that I wasn't supposed to survive from ...but here I am, making the most of every day as best as I can. The gratitude to life is immeasurable!! I am so looking forward to seeing what you are up to next. In the meantime I'm going to look at some of your old footage. Take care, both of you, and keep smiling ~ Lin xx

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Lin , such a shame about some of the places you we’re looking forward to see in 2025 . But your right the way things are at the moment I can’t imagine that will happen. Hopefully they will come up with something that you can enjoy.Well done on the recovery you have made so far from what must have been a terrible time for you and your family. Typical Essex girl , strong and a fighter . Take care keep enjoying life and thank you for all your positive messages. Pearl and Brian xx

Just a newbie to your channel., but enjoyed your cruise vlog. Ive watched the iona one also fabulous. I go on Iona end of June. Can i ask, my husband loves your shirt the nlack half sleeve one with letters all over. Where did you get it ? I know its hugo Boss but cant find it on their site does it have a serial no Thank you in advance. Happy sailing x

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Annette , thank you for finding our Channel, sorry for not getting back to you sooner but we were away and I wasn’t going to pay for the extortionate WiFi package. Hope you have a fantastic time on Iona , I’m sure you will. As for the shirt Pearl told me that I got it in House of Fraser . I know they are still doing on line shopping so might be worth having a look . It actually says Hugo all over the shirt. Thank you very much for watching and really appreciate the comments.xx

Hi, dear, I was watching videos on KZbin when I saw your channel. I really like your video content. But as a KZbin expert, I noticed one thing: your video views are getting fewer and fewer. Later I researched your channel and I saw your video SEO score is (0% Out of 100). Your video found that SEO optimization is not done in your videos due to which your videos are not going to your targeted people, your videos are getting fewer views and channel subscribers are getting fewer. I can say as a KZbin expert if you can do channel and video SEO-friendly things like tag, hashtag, description, and keyword research then your KZbin channel and video will grow fast. And If you want, I can do it I Can Guarantee to improve Subscriber and video views on any KZbin channel with my experience I think your KZbin channel will make your dream come true I am waiting for your response Thank you Best of luck
