Hi all, I'm Steve Bennett and I have a passion for travel. Please join me in amazing locations both near and far. Our latest adventures included an 8 day cruise to the stunning Norwegian Fjords, a 12 day cruise to the Canary Islands on the Sky Princess and our first ever cruise with Cunard on the elegant Queen Victoria. Later this year we try out Virgin Voyages and MSC plus we have a Caribbean cruise on the P&O Britannia in January 2025. We are also taking a vacation on dry land in Corfu.

Late Night Pool Party - Sky Princess

This was an impromptu pool party late one evening on the Sky Princess cruise ship when we were in the Canary Islands. Great fun was had by all and even the crew members got in on the act by jumping in the pool fully clothed. There were a few sore heads in the morning!

Good tour. Thanks for showing.
My pleasure and many thanks for your feedback.
Just beautiful 😊
Reminds me of the Alaskan fjords ❤
Would love to do Alaska but it's a long way from the UK and quite expensive but who knows ..... one day maybe.
Great video! 🤙
Many thanks. It was a great cabin!
Love this, great stuff!
Looks like a small cozy hotelroom, a bit on the tiny side but otherwise looks good, everythings looks fresh and stylish
It was a small cabin but perfectly adequate for a short cruise.
We also had a Premium Deluxe Balcony on the Sky this March. It was not a wake cabin but had a huge balcony. The views don't compare but I don't think I'd book your cabin.
The cabin looks so nice and view must have been amazing!
We loved the cabin. Our best so far.
Very good. Definitely a cabin is like to stay in. Was the price difference significant than a standard balcony? I don't mind the extra walking myself. Walk off all that food 😂 Definitely the type of room that will be complimented by the Fjords. I've said before that Fjords require a sea view cabin at the minimum or you won't experience it best
It was more expensive but worth every penny! We had far better weather than forecast so we sat out most evenings with a drink looking at the gorgeous scenery.
How nice of them to sing for you! That anniversary cake looks amazing:) Looks like you had a great time too!
We certainly did.
A great cruiser.
Beautiful view 😊
Wow, what a big theatre! 😎
Thank you for the review. 👍🏼
My pleasure!
I’m going on a cruise at the end of the year ❤❤❤
Looks like people are having an awesome time! Some people too fun almost even:)
There may have been some drinking involved!
Nice sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
561 subs looking good😊
Thanks 👍
Good luck with beta
Thanks.
Another one for you Steve all the best Alan
Looks good food. We're hoping to book something for 2026. Not sure whether to go with P&O or MSC yet.
Enjoyed the P&O cruise we went on and have an MSC taster cruise booked for September. The MSC ships certainly look great.
I'm a bit envious, great review too mate!
Thanks! Can't wait for our next cruise to the Norwegian Fjords in late April.
@travelumbrella - I’ll be on that cruise too. I’ll keep an eye out for you 😊
Beautiful!
It was. I hope to do this cruise again sometime. It was November and the weather was fantastic.
With respect, suggest adjusting your camera to show less of your tummy. Your criticisms of the food are credible and important but they lose some punch while viewers start at your large belly and wonder, jeez doesn't look like it was that bad. Camera angles MUCH better at the end of the vid.
Thanks for your feedback.
Was that really necessary
Clearly felt the need to pass on his thoughts. Oh well, I'm pretty thick skinned lol.
@@travelumbrella I have similar thick skin. Thicker at that location than yours. My apologies to anyone I offended.
Not a problem at all.
Food looked amazing!
It was!
ever since i subbed to you, ive been getting cruise fliers in the mail HAHA
Lol ... someone is trying to tell you something.
haha@@travelumbrella
Oh I can't wait to go on my first cruise! I will def vlog one before I die! <3 All of the food looks great!
You really must try it. Fantastic way to travel and explore
Yes! Will do! thank you <3 @@travelumbrella
Fantastic - see you soon
Happy Anniversary. They make it very special on Sky Princess Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much and you're totally right. We felt very pampered and looked after.
Hi, thoroughly enjoyed your anniversary meal review of the Crown Grill. It's our first wedding anniversary onboard Sky shortly and we've also booked the Crown Grill. My husband has ticked anniversary on the app - did you do anything else to let them know? Thank you in advance. Kind regards Kate
@katecarman3542 Hi Kate. Many thanks for your kind words. The only other thing I did was to advise the people on the desk when we turned up and checked in for our meal. I hope you have a great anniversary and dinner in the Crown Grill. We are back on Sky in late April so will be booking a table again for sure.
@@travelumbrella Thank you so much for your swift reply. We board on 27 April for a cruise to the Norwegian Fjords. We are so looking forward to it and wish you a great cruise. Kind regards Kate
@katecarman3542 see you at the bar .... we are on the same cruise!!!!
I'm a little envious, that looked very nice!
It was a magical trip.
That's cool to see, such a big vessel!
It's quite amazing to watch them maneuvering these giant ships.
Thanks Just give me plain gelato. 🍨
The strange thing is you would probably have to pay for that but the huge desserts would be free on the Plus package.
@@travelumbrella It's a complete waste of an offering. I know for myself I'd rather have something way different than an over the top dessert like one of these sundaes.
That looked nice and comfortable, thanks for sharing!
I’m really looking forward to our cruise on Queen Victoria in July. 😫 Having said that, this sounds very similar to our 7 night Holland America New England cruise last year. Poor service in the MDR, untrained staff and uninspiring food. Enjoyed your balanced review
I'm sure you'll have a great time. I think we were just a bit unlucky as I believe normally Cunard would be a far better experience.
Nice video 📸
Thanks for visiting
Looks Awesome. Great video. Subbed your channel to.
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome 🎉
I've only been on ferrys Steve. It's always interesting to hear about cruise ships.
Try a cruise, you might love it.
Great video
Thanks!
Great nnarration 👌
Thank you kindly!
Nice video 📹 👍 🎉🎉
Many thanks
Great video, my friend! Very informative 👏🏻
Thank you.
I got 22 points. However question 2 is wrong, the largest and only liner at sea is the Queen Mary 2. Icon of the Seas is a cruise ship, not a liner. That would then be 23 points. Charity of choice is Norward Children's Home. Tie breaker - 4,000 miles. Enjoyed the quiz.
Thanks Daniel. That's a very good point. Most people would not make the distinction between a Liner and a Cruise Ship so you're right to highlight that. Take 23 points!
I really think you had a lot of bad luck. Guess you are right: It has to do probably with the 4 day cruise. I watched a lot of reviews and even the critical cruise testers praised the food on Victoria. It's a bit sad for you. Thanks for the great video.
Maybe I'll give them a second chance.
omg i have just booked 21 nights on queen vic .i love my food hot and i love 3 courses .i also went on sky princess but they were so expensive to do 21 nights . im getting worried looks like 21 nights in the buffet
Hi Dave. I've heard that the QV tends to offer a better experience on the longer duration cruises so hopefully you'll have a more satisfactory trip. We found the QV quite expensive for drinks, services add ons and Wi-Fi. Princess offers the bundled package of drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities at £50 a day which I think compares favourably with Cunard if you add these costs together. I hope you have a great cruise and that our experience was not the norm.
Wow
Your making me want to take my 1st cruise
I can thoroughly recommend it.
Wooow that’s awesome ✨
Thank you 🙏🏾 and many blessings to you and your journey
