Sorry to hear that Jake, sending hugs!

[@barbara88-]

Finally, here to watch your return from Cunard video! Right Then!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol enjoy! 😍

[@sandraw8219]

Re Cunard increasing the cost per day for drink packages on 5 days or less, it actually makes sense because as Paul said they are the booze cruises on any cruise line so the drinks consumed per day are going to be higher. I’ve never cruised with Cunard but it seems all lines are making price adjustments. I know inflation is hitting everything and everyone hard at the moment so I looked at what I paid for my first economy flight from Australia to France in 1977 $880 return (🎉yes I am that old but still have a decent memory, just don’t ask me what I did yesterday😂) considering inflation only this is equivalent to the same flight costing over $5500 at the end of 2022. In 1977 I would have paid $1867 for a business class seat on the same flight ( and that would have cost more then $1867 back then) to be equivalent to the $9500 business class seat I paid from Australia to Athens, returning home from Malaga for my Sept 2023 flight. So airlines and cruise lines can say we’re currently getting a good deal. However the thing that hasn’t kept up with inflation is wages and that is where their argument falls apart.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes good points!

[@ronbennie1028]

Hi Paul and Carole…Ron Bennie here…no one will convince me it wasn’t The Stephen Payne in the chat. He did return his thanks to me for my compliments about his wonderful ship. Also, on a different subject, we’ve just booked our first cruise in 30 years…5 nights on Discovery Princess out of Los Angeles. We have 2 connecting mini-suites and we’re testing how our two autistic adult offspring will like the cruising lifestyle. I think they’re going to love it and your videos have really helped convince me to go for it. Many thanks to you both!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Such a shame we didn’t realise at the time, so glad you are going back cruising, we really hope it all goes to plan.

[@joanfreestone1707]

I agree with Paul about dressing for dinner. It's something we never get to do at home and dressing up a bit makes it special for everyone. Also, Chris Frame has an excellent video on his channel explaining the difference between cruise ships and ocean liners and he did a chat with Stephen Payne.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Joan it’s always nice when someone agrees with me🤣🤣

[@M158-o3x]

Great to meet the pair of you on the QM2 - from the guy who sat next to you during the Angela Rippon presentation. Good luck with the channel - you deserve success...

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much! Was great to chat to you too!

[@NewMexico-FrankJen]

Carole, you have the best laugh! Love love listening to your lives while I was in the kitchen ❤️❤️

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much for joining us! ☺️

[@brigidconroy2111]

Good on you for condolences given You guys make this site a family affair

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

❤

[@renatobernardin2183]

Joined 2/3rds through the live but now watched all on catchup. Another enjoyable live .. I am with Paul ... definitely long trousers in MDR for evening dinner. Enjoy your campervan trips.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks for catching up! Long trousers seems a popular opinion!

[@clintontate5260]

That was sad news at the start . Sorry missed you live. I'm glad you are back home . Great info in this video. Catch up soon.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Clinton it certainly makes you appreciate what you’ve got and how quickly it can be taken away.

[@ES-mt4bn]

Princess add 18% to the list prices of drinks. More than Cunard do!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh wow, yes Cunard is 15%!

[@live2skide1]

Watching "afterwards" . I am booked QM2 in May from NY, then P&O Britannia, then Regal Princess out of Southampton and return to NY in June. Will be looking forward to your reviews. :)

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh wow that sounds pretty amazing, we’ve still not done Brittania but it’s on our to do list.

[@debbiem3146]

We have just got back off Celebrity Silhouette, and le Petite Chef was only $60 dollers on there. They are obviously charging more for the newer ships. Deb.x

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes seems that way!

[@barbara88-]

Good one Carole...mind faster than words.....lol ;)

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol! 🤣

[@DevonDumpling70]

Hi guys, is there a Vlog coming of your recent trip on the QM2? Thanks, GJ.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

There will be but just editing Melbourne then it will be Camada and Alaska, then QM2 so probably end of October time.

[@DevonDumpling70]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel thank you. Will look forward to it.

[@waynetrudgeonreddevils]

Just came off the anthem of the seas after a fortnight in the med

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh cool! Did you enjoy it?

[@waynetrudgeonreddevils]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel I think it could of been better if they took less passengers maybe 1000 ,there wasn’t enough sun beds and people sent away from the windjammer restaurant to find somewhere else to eat,it was chaos

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

@waynetrudgeonreddevils Yes understand that! Now ships are cruising at full capacity it can be frustrating!

[@pamelapennington4015]

Beware of using NCL flight perk. Have herd BAD things have happened with checking issues.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

We’ve still not done NCL but will definitely bear that in mind.

[@grahamp2823]

I've booked Cunard for later in the year, when I booked, the Golden Lion was included, would we say that I was mis SOLD? or do they have a clause

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

We have not had any definite confirmation as yet that the food in the Golden Lion is not included. The website isn't clear, so would just want and see.

[@rosemariejames2437]

you two just crack me up you are so funny.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Rose 😊😊

[@joanroberts5548]

Have you done Miami / Bahamas really would love to do that . ❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

We have done Miami / Caribbean not Bahamas yet!

[@clintontate5260]

I would pay good money to see paul strapped to his 360 camera being pulled down the walkway 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

For once Clinton I am lost for words 🤣🤣

[@barbara88-]

Will you be vlogging your motorhome trip?

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

No just haven't got time to do all the cruising ones and those. 😀

[@barbara88-]

I completely understand@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel I completely understand! I know you will have a fab time and sometimes it is good to have a different kind of relaxation!
