Pearl and Brians trips and adventures
United Kingdom
Приєднався 27 лип 2017
Follow us on our trips and adventures, as a couple or occasionally with family. We love to cruise usually with Princess Cruises or P&O . Also we love to holiday in Croatia. Hopefully you will come along and enjoy our experiences as we have a lot planned in the future .
Storm Darragh causes change of itinerary.. P&O Iona Northern Europe #1
So it was December the 7th and we were all packed and ready to travel down to Southampton to board P&O Iona for our seven night cruise around Northern Europe . Unfortunately we had storm Darragh to compete against .
It wasn't a great start as the Dartford bridge was closed due to the high winds , so we had to use one of the tunnels to get over to the Kent side .
Apart from that we had quite a good journey, and we were soon waiting along side the ship ready to board .
As we had booked a Conservatory suite we had an onboard time of 11.15 AM ,WE actually Boarded at 11.50 which was still quite early .
After doing our muster drill we headed to the Pearl restaurant for our reception . A nice buffet was included ,and the wine was flowing which kept Pearl happy . We stayed there for approximately 3 hours before going to our room to unpack .
It was then that we heard Iona wouldn't be sailing until the early hours of Monday morning due to the expected weather conditions.
We were obviously disappointed as we were now going to miss the port of Hamburg , which is the Christmas market we were looking forward to the most . Obviously safety is the most important thing that has to be considered ,but it didn't stop our feelings of disappointment .
That evening we had dinner in the beach house ,it's an area of the buffet that is converted into a restaurant . Our meal was very nice and we had a really nice evening . We finished the night in the Crows nest ,one of our favourite bars on any ship .We both thought that the ship looked fantastic all dressed for Christmas ,especially the main atrium .

That’s good to hear , thanks for watching and Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🥂🛳️👋
Merry Christmas to you both 🥂🎄 Another fabulous vlog, had me chuckling right from the start 😂 Hope your eye is better Pearl. Looking forward to the next one 🥂
Hi Kim , a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you as well . Glad you enjoyed our latest offering. Pearl is still suffering with her eye problems unfortunately. Hopefully the tests she is having will give us an answer. Thanks very much for watching Kim and for the kind words.❤️❤️xx🥂🎄🎅
Great vlog as always, loved the intro. Shame about Hamburg but looks like you had a great time onboard anyway. Good excuse to book another next Christmas 😀 Wish you both a very Merry Christmas and a cruising New Year!
Hi Chris & Paula , hope you are all set and ready for Santa . Yes disappointing not to get to Hamburg but safety first , although we didn’t think that at the time . 😂 Hope it’s nice and cold and snowy where you are , nice and Christmasy . Have a great day and thanks for all the support you have given .❤️❤️xx🥂🎄
We met in the Mediterranean cruise in September in The Crows nest and thanks for the mention. Love all your vlogs and want to wish you both a Merry Christmas and look forward to watching your next travels in 2025. Hope your eye is better Pearl. X Christine & Garry
Hi Christine & Garry , how nice to hear from you , the Crows nest , what a great bar that is and especially with that Piano player . Thank you both for watching our vlogs and continuing to support our little Channel. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and hopefully we will bump into you again on another cruise . Xx❤️❤️🥂🛳️🎄🎅
Must be rough out there, Pearl was zig zagging down the aisle...Hang on , the ship is still in dock...? I would avoid markets after the car incident . Travel safe .. Very posh room ..
Hi Pete & Shez , how terrible was that car incident some right proper nutters about. I didn’t notice Pearl Staggering about when I was filming only when I was putting it together 😂🥂🍷 . Mind you we had an excuse 3 hours free drink . It must be Christmas now for you , so Merry Christmas hope you have a fantastic day . Thank you for all the support you have given our very serious travel channel.😂 Take care guys xx❤️❤️🎄🎅🥂🍷🍺
Hi Pearl and Brian 🥰 Hope you are both well and ready for Christmas? Well done Pearl to demand a 7 night cruise on Iona! 😂😂😂 Who are you to argue with Pearl!? What was that sticker on the door access point on your cabin door, where you put the card? When Pearl emptied her bag on the bed Andrew said “Oh my word, that is just like your bag!” 😂 Looking forward to the next one and to see what you get up to in Southampton What are you doing for Christmas? Wishing you both a very merry Christmas. Thank you for keeping us entertained with your adventures, looking forward to the next one 🤩 Take care, lots of love xxx 🍾🎄🥰
Hi Al , we are both fine thank you , Pearl is still struggling with her eyes . Hopefully tests will find out the problem. Hope your Sister and Dad are still doing ok . I didn’t notice that sticker until I was putting the video together , I still don’t know what it said 😩. A bag full of absolute rubbish 😂😂 must be a thing with you ladies 😂 . So Christmas is quite quiet actually, around our Daughters and Son in laws on Christmas Day . Then the Mum in law round to ours on Boxing Day . We hope you and Andrew have a fantastic Christmas, thanks for all the support, comments, and always being positive Al , we really do appreciate it . Take care xx❤️❤️🥂🎄🎅
Happy Christmas guys, we are currently on Iona
Hi Dominic , Happy Christmas to you and yours as well. We hope you are having a fantastic time . Doesn’t the ship look fantastic all decorated for Christmas. Hope they are looking after you onboard. Lovely to hear from you enjoy the rest of your cruise.❤️🥂🎄🎅🛳️

Look foward to the new year and all the adventures you two get up to ! Kind regards , have a wonderful xmas. Luv Ann n Steve❤.
Happy Christmas Ann & Steve hope you have a fantastic time . Don’t worry Steve I always get things wrong as Pearl constantly tells me 😩. We had a great time thank you , especially enjoyed Gent in Belgium . Yes there is plenty more to come in 2025 quite a few ships that we have never been on before. Thanks for watching and the support over the year , once again have a really great Christmas.❤️❤️xx🎅🎄🥂
Very pleased you’re back I’ve been looking forward to this, what a shame about the storm putting the mockers on your plans, hope you enjoyed the cruise non the less I look forward to the rest of your videos, hope Pearls eyes are better in time for Christmas, wishing you both a very merry Christmas 🎄 x
HI Julie, yes it wasn't the best of starts to our Christmas adventure ,but after seeing on the news what some people experienced that weekend then we can count ourselves lucky . We did enjoy the rest of the cruise thank you , especially finally getting to Gent in Belgium a really beautiful place .Unfortunately Pearl is still having problems with her eyes and is having tests to see if there is anything more sinister . Hopefully everything will be fine . Thank you Julie and a very Merry Christmas to you as well , hope you have a great 2025 . Thank you for watching .xx❤️❤️🥂
Merry Christmas to you both from Hawai'i!! Mele Kalikimaka oe Hau'ole Makahiki Hou! 🌺🎄
Hi MsSmartmonkee , thank you and a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year sent with love all the way from wet , cold , Grey , Essex . Thank you so much for the support you have given our channel over the year . ❤️❤️xx🎄🎅🥂
Hope you are all safe and well ,we have just seen the BBC news and it has news of the volcano eruption .
Hello PEEPS! what a nice little Christmas treat for us all, a vid from you! Bummer about the storm scuppering your plans, it was quite bad down here in Devon. I didn't leave the house on the Saturday. Pearl, I've had Blepharitis before, it's very painful and an awful condition to have. I'm now very strict with taking my make up off as this can be a cause for it. I hope that it didn't hang around too long. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and a fab New Year. Looking forward to more adventures with you both in 2025. Lottsa love🥰🥰🥰
Hi Glenda , great to hear from you as usual always look forward to it . Yes it wasn’t how we wanted to start the cruise but we were safe . We watched the news and saw how people had suffered with the effects of the storm, so you have to put it into perspective. Unfortunately Pearl is still suffering, the doctor has taken a swab and she has had blood tests so just waiting for results. Thank you for that advice though. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas Glenda thank you for all the support all done with lots of humour. Here’s wishing you a happy and healthy 2025 . Lots of love heading your way. ❤️❤️xx🎄🎅🥂
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Pearl, hope you feel better soon
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Love all your decorations very apt Princess Pearl! Good to have you both back. Hope the eye is getting better looked sore. As always a fab and funny watch. Merry Christmas to you both x🎄
Hi Mandy , thank you shame about the pathetic tree though , it’s skinnier than me 😂. Unfortunately Pearl is still suffering with her eyes .having tests to see if there is anything underlying. Glad you enjoyed the first one Mandy , thanks for all the support you have given over this year and we wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas.XX❤️❤️🥂🎄🎅
Been looking forward to this trip! Hope we don’t get any storms when we go!!! Really big shame about Hamburg though!! Still Bruges is a fairytale place!!
Hi Senseicads , it didn’t start how we wanted it to but I suppose safety has to come first . Although we didn’t think it was that windy in the evening. Hamburg was the Market we wanted to see the most . We didn’t go to Bruges this time we decided to try Gent and it was lovely and they had a nice Christmas market. Hope you have more luck when you go . Thanks very much for watching and supporting our channel over the last year . Hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas.❤️🎄🛳️🥂🎅
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Thank you for all your content this past year! I’ve loved all of it! Merry Christmas to your family too!!
Awful people Def not going on Iona
Ooh Patricia or do you mind if I call you Pat as we are all friends here .Imagine how the poor passengers on Iona are going to feel by being called awful , glad you liked us though. Thanks very much for watching Pat , you don’t realise how much it helps our little channel . Your support has been invaluable, Pat may we wish you a very Merry Christmas 😏
Good to see you back this Christmas. Like you Ventura was delayed by storm "Bert" 30hrs and we missed Madeira, very sad. Looking forward to the rest of your trip. Love the cabin or should I say Mini suite.
Afternoon Peter , thank you very much . We realise that safety must come first but it didn’t seem that bad in the evening. Still what do we know it may have been blowing a gale in the Channel. So you have had the same experience, missing Madeira must have been a right let down. We did enjoy that Conservatory suite especially on deck 9 as you don’t have people walking past like they do on 8 . Thanks very much for watching Peter , Happy Christmas and hope you have a wonderful 2025 .🥂🛳️🎄🎅
We had a lovely time with you guys too 🍷 merry Christmas to you both xxxx Love Alli & Garry
Hi Alli & Garry , how nice to hear from you , our onboard drinking partners 🥂. Can’t believe we never saw you again on the ship . Hope you enjoyed the cruise and had a great time . Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year . Hopefully bump into you again in the Pearl restaurant 😂🥂🍷🎄🎅🛳️ XXXX
Merry Christmas to you both. Hope I bum into you one day. I’m on Iona, Ventura and Arcadia so far in 2025. PS. Pearl stop breaking your shoes or Brian won’t be able to afford more cruises 😂
Hi Grandad , and a Merry Christmas to you as well. Looks like you have got lots of great cruises coming up in 2025 . Always great to have something to look forward to. So I have decided for Christmas Pearl will be getting a pair of Hob nailed boots , hopefully she won’t be able to break them .😂😂 . Thanks for watching Grandad Happy New Year .🥂🎅🎄🛳️👋👋

Hi Sharnie, yes we weren’t gone for long , not long enough some say 😂 Hope you enjoy our festive adventure. Have a wonderful Christmas and a great and healthy New year . Thanks for watching and supporting our daft adventures over the year .❤️❤️xx🎄🎅
Thanks for all your great content. Merry Christmas
Thanks Lee , and thank you for all the support. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and a wonderful and healthy New Year.🛳️🥂🎅🎄
Good to see the both of you, but sorry the trip strarted out like that. I think the weather has been crazy everywhere. I really like the ship's decorations, and I liked your home ones as well. Pearl has a knack for decorating. You both look well, but I'm sorry about Pearl's eye. She looked good to me, but it is aggravating to have that happen. Praying you all have a blessed and happy Christmas! Wish I could share my family Christmas with you, but I don't have your talent. God bless, and can't wait to see next week.
Hi Rene , hope you and your family are all prepared for Christmas. It’s a very busy time of the year . Our trip didn’t exactly start how we wanted it to, but I suppose safety is the number one priority. These ships always look amazing at Christmas. Pearl unfortunately is still struggling with her eyes, having all different tests to try and find the root of the problem. I agree with you Rene , she still looks great . Would love to see your family Christmas Rene I bet it’s a proper occasion. So get Santa to bring you a little camera 😃. We hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Rene , and thank you again for always supporting our trips away . It’s been quite a while now since you first commented on one of our trips. Sending lots of love Rene ❤️❤️xx🎄
Great to have you both back, a very Merry Christmas 🎄 😊

Hi Wendy , how are you hope your keeping well. Yes we are back for a few weeks now . Yes Pearl is in need of lots of shoes and bags because she continues to break them all 😡. So it’s a pair of Doctor Martens for Christmas 😂. Your right Wendy Iona really is a beauty, she looked so nice all decorated for Christmas. Pearl is still struggling with her eyes unfortunately. Blood tests will hopefully show us if there is any underlying problem.🤞 Gutted we missed the Market in Hamburg, safety first I suppose.
