Cunard Queen Mary 2....Cruise vlog 1.. Cunard meets Essex
This was going to be our first ever Cunard cruise , we were due to set sail from Southampton onboard Queen Mary 2 . We had a boarding time of 2.45.
Rather disappointingly we had received an email from Cunard stating that our two ports of call were having to be changed because of weather and a strike in Le Havre . These were replaced by Cherbourg , and Portland in Dorset .
We arrived at Southampton, and in no time were settling in onboard the beautiful Queen Mary 2.Our room was a sheltered balcony option that suited our needs perfectly .
After a Quick Look around the ship , we headed to the outer decks for the sail away party . This was great fun with a band playing , a DJ spinning some tunes ,and a very busy bar . Plus the sun was out and it all added to what was a great sail away .
After unpacking ,it was time for our first meal in the Britannia restaurant , and very nice it was too . Later that evening we found ourselves in the Golden Lion pub enjoying a drink and listening to the group that were playing .Our first impressions of Queen Mary 2 were very positive , it really is a very Grande looking ship . One that we are looking forward to explore , even if it is only for three days .

It began with a very early start , as I had been told not to miss the arrival into Kotor . It was very much worth the early alarm call as Azura neared the spot where she would drop her anchors . Spectacular scenery and fantastic views greeted us , also the sun was shining and the sea was flat and like a mirror. It was a pleasure to be sitting on our balcony with a cup of tea taking it all in . ...

St Lucia was great especially being up high over the top of the rainforest , a great excursion . I should imagine that you will soon get to cross it off your bucket list with all the cruising that you are doing. Thanks for watching .

    Hello guys I must be nearly at the end of all the vlogs ive been watching to catch up soon 😢. We have loved every minute ❤️ taking alot of notice of iona for our upcoming cruise . I hope the system for tables doesnt work when we are on it , seems a pain 😂. Arr lovely to see someone getting married on the ship ,brings back memories of our wedding onboard sea princess. ❤. Everytime we see the rose in this vlog i was waiting for you to put it in water 💧 it got very droopy by the end of the night 😅😅. Loved princess Pearl in her robe being served Champagne 🍾 brilliant .we hope it was a happy valentines day for you both 💗 💓 💕 💖 take care A&J xxxx👋👋👋👋✨️

      Hi Amanda, you certainly are a trooper to get through that lot . Glad they have been of use for your upcoming cruise. Dinner reservations are ok really, you can just turn up and if no tables they will give you a pager . Have seen a few weddings now on cruise ships , glad it brought back great memories. Yes it did get a bit droopy 😂 it’s carry on cruising 😂. She was a proper little Princess and i was like her servant with her champagne 🥂. Thanks Amanda for the continued support you are very much appreciated.XX❤️❤️👋👋

Car is our pride and joy had it from new 2016. May have to sell it soon as insurance and tax is getting crazy. Next week is Pearl trying to be posh having afternoon tea.

I like Pearl's dress, but she seemed to be a little nervous about the fit. Tell her she looked great! I so enjoy the two of you, and your adventures. I understand the Queen Mary 2 is expensive, so I understand just the three days. Excited for next week. Hope your weather is better then it was. Our weather is up and down.

We really enjoyed this ship , very grande and very well looked after . A throwback to older style cruising. I have passed on your comments concerning Pearls dress , and she was very pleased. We have had a lot of dry weather recently and quite hot at times . Hope you get your much needed rain soon , it’s a shame it couldn’t rain at night then be dry during the day , that would be perfect. Next week is Afternoon tea onboard so hopefully you will enjoy it . Take care Rene hopefully speak next week.X❤️👋

I think it harks back to old style cruising. Yes Pearl is always up on that dance floor, but I did have to get up first to get the party started 💃😂.

    Hello Peeps! Was wondering when our next installment from you would be, and here you are, what a lovely surprise. CONGRATULATIONS on 48 years, you must have married young!! were you 12? Glad you enjoyed your first night. Gotta ask, what the chuff is a 'pilifer?' of cauliflower??? And yes Pearl, I agree with your 'meh gur feh' comments while eating your night time chocolate. .. WELCOME BACK BOTH

      Hi Glenda, yes we are back for three more episodes. So hope you enjoy them . Thank you for the Anniversary wishes, I was actually Nine and Pearl was sixteen, I liked an older woman 😂. As for the Cauliflower,🤣I haven’t got a clue they just like to put fancy names in front of things so they can charge a bit more . She couldn’t wait to get that chocolate in her gob then chomp away right in my ear hole. 🤣😂 . Thanks Glenda glad you enjoyed it , look out for next week Pearl try’s to be posh having afternoon tea .😫xx❤️👋👋

Yeah Pearl was being Pearl , no airs and graces with Madam. Thanks mate I will take looking dapper any day 😂 . Glad you enjoyed it Marc thanks very much as usual, have a great week 👋👋🥂

    Congrats on your anniversary! I’m sure you had a wonderful time and I look forward to the positive vlogs. We stopped watching Ben & David as no matter what they do, they are 80% negative and accentuate what they perceive as bad. Your vlogs tell us if you don’t like something but you don’t go on about it like B&J

      @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I actually had a dream about you both last night and woke up laughing. You were sitting in for Ben Shepherd and Cat Deeley, presenting This Morning and had cruise Vloggers, Travel Vlog Jamie doing the cooking,Brogan Tate as travel expert and Carole and Paul Morgan doing what the Speakmans do, and then Pearl was on the panel of Loose Women and you, Brian, was a contestant on Tipping Point. Oh, I hope it's a recurring dream as it put me in a good mood all day. Love to Pearl, and if you can book November 8th, Iona, for the Canaries, the drinks are on me. Or if you ever fancy visiting Nottingham, you have a place to stay, Gratis of course.

      @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 3 дні тому

      😂😂🤣 best comment ever , sounds more like a nightmare to me 😂. Definitely see Pearl on Loose women, and I could definitely do a bit of tipping point. I usually sit with the Granddaughter and watch it , she gets excited when the counters all come down. Unfortunately we will be saving very hard in November as we are back on Iona in December for Northern Europe and hopefully some Christmas markets. But we hope you have a fantastic time and get some great weather. Thanks again Tony for the fantastic comment and the kind offer , hopefully you sleep a bit better tonight , no more nightmares 😂👋👋

We had a great time , a bit restricted with 4 grandkids but it was great having them along to see if they liked being on a ship . Thanks Mandy take care .XX❤️👋👋
