This time, we explored Tower Bridge from the walkways at the top which cross the Thames to the original engine rooms. ...

    Thanks for this. We are boarding Sky Princess in November, 12 days Canary Islands. We have never been on a cruise. Havent been outside of the UK since 1981. Could i ask, does the ship sound the horn before sailing?

    Just a quick tip. If you place relevant hashtag-ed words into your video description, it will help people to find your content when they are searching for specific videos on a subject like #vienna #christmasmarket and even the names of that hotel you stayed at, places you ate at, locations you visited. Anyway, just a kindly thought Sir 😀

    This 2nd video that we've discovered on your channel, also features a destination that we have desired to visit. We know a fair bit about its history and culture, but your images and information once again has given us a really fascinating video to watch and to be guided by, for such time as we might follow in your footsteps.

    Fabulous to see this Martin. Istanbul has long been an ambition of ours to see, but so few cruises add it to their itinerary, so this is the first time we have seen these images from someone visiting from the cruise port. Really fascinating, and your detailed commentary gives some great context to this location that you've filmed and presented.

    Thank you for this video, I was in portaventura in 2000, 2002, 2009, 2016 n am booked for Aug 2024. Whilst the park has grown considerably I do feel that the park was at its best in the early 2000’s when owned by universal. The shows snd the evening time displays made the park wat it was. Unfortunately the shows, whilst still good, are not the same standard as back then. The park has some more and better rides than early 2000 which is the only positive I see for it’s development. Parts of the park now are derelict such as china town restaurants n shops (first noticed this in 2009 when universal no longer owned the parc) Portaventura is an awesome place n I loved it as a young boy and man growing up n next year I get to take my own 2 kids for their first visit, unfortunately for them the experience in 2000 was better than recent times but they will love this place regardless. Thank u for this wonderful footage as it brought me down a nostalgic memory lane

    Great job with the audio narration, very professionally presented and great sound track. But please get a hold of your camera skills. I almost got vertigo while watching, you were bouncing around with the camera so much and so quickly. Less is more, I’d much rather see less video at a slower pace than try to cram in everything you shot.
