THE WORST WEATHER EVER?! P&O Azura Cruise Vlog: Day 4, Funchal, Madeira!

In this video, we're docking in the port of Funchal, Medeira (Portugal). This is a completely new port for me, so I can't wait to show you what you can get up to if visiting this island as part of your future holiday/cruise!
This video is part of a series, where I'm taking you on a 1-week adventure to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Madeira and then finishing in Tenerife! I'll be onboard for one full week, and this series will cover each of these ports, plus life onboard P&O Azura, which is one of the cruise ships from P&O Cruises.
If you're new to my channel, hello! I'm Fraser, and I'm hoping to use this channel to introduce as many people as possible to the cruise industry. It's no secret that I absolutely fell in love with this mode of travel/holidaying a few years ago, and I want to now share my passion with you guys, by taking you on my travels with me! So, that's enough typing for now - hit that 'subscribe' button and let's go - I've got SO MUCH to show you!

O dear Fraser that rain is not kidding. What a flip and not a single person on the road 😮. Glad you made it down the hill and back on warm ship

[@colord1767]

Fab video as always!❤

[@shirleyjones4857]

We went a few years ago. Went up inthe cable car, came down on the toboggan. We still had quite a walk down hill. Yes, your leg muscles burn 🤣😂. Love your videos x

[@stephenwassell3650]

Thank you, really enjoyed this video. I was in Madeira in January 2018 and it was baking hot all day. So sorry you experienced the deluge of a lifetime!

[@almaknack9543]

Wet slippery roads! That toboggan ride could have been something else!

[@lesleyhackett2185]

all with a smile on your face. Fair play to you!!! Great video. Hope its dry next time you are in Madeira.

[@stevesawyer7330]

Great Video Fraser the best cruise VLOG I've watched recently not just of the ship. drinks and food. keep it going

[@katieb9688]

Bless you! That looked rough.

[@MrPortavogie]

Fraser, sorry you got soaked but it sure made for great video! Job well done, as always.

[@stevesawyer7330]

Grazer thanks for the great videos on the Azura. Currently sat in your recommended restaurant on the terrace at the top of the cable car in Funchal. Yes is cloudy and starting to rain 😅

[@michaelpass-eo4by]

Amazing video as per usual. Glad you mentioned about the 2 different gang planks. One was really steep.

[@lorrainej4555]

Looking forward to this. 😀

[@joycesmith8354]

We are doing this trip in October on the Ventura, sooooo looking forward to it.

[@philkitchen5462]

If this is the same cruise as I was on, I missed the rain! I went back to ship after lunch and saw it from there!

[@davidbennett5862]

Another great video Fraser! Its always nice to see a 'real' day when things go wrong, the heavens open and you just have to make the best of it. Next time pack a decent waterproof in that big bag of yours. Looking forward to another of your Vlogs.

[@kathyleigh207]

Working my way through your vlogs and loving them. About to take my first cruise and it's solo with another booked so love seeing the solo perspective. Also thanks for introducing me to the Neffex song i've now heard on a couple of your videos - love it!

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Glad you managed to dry out . Hope it’s not so wet when we go in March .

[@tammy_oh_nevermind]

Oh my gosh, you poor guy!! That's traumatic! I was looking forward to you doing the toboggan, as you were. So sad! (I saw vloggers Ben and David go down it and was hoping you would too. So fun!) Tart and beer for the win. 👍😊

[@martinemery9877]

Personally I’d have taken the cable car then gone to Java for a coffee then to the room

[@alisont308]

It’s amazing how much the weather changes in Madeira. Me and some friends got the cable car up in December and hot sun at the bottom then wet and windy at the top so we went straight back down! Absolutely loved the Christmas market/lights plus went for afternoon tea at Reid’s palace hotel which was fantastic.
