Morning Rex , hope you had a lovely Christmas. We had a really enjoyable time on Cunard.We thought it might be a bit stuffy for us but we were pleasantly surprised. Loved the ship , absolutely beautiful. We will definitely do another Cunard cruise in the future.🥂🛳️👋👋
Just got back from our family few days away and loved watching your vlog over a couple of glasses of wine. "The Steven Spielberg of Essex", classic line, we're still laughing! Looks like you had a fantastic time and that's what it's all about, enjoying life, having wonderful adventures. Looking forward to the next one. Best wishes, Chris and Paula.
Hi Chris & Paula , hope you enjoyed your family trip . As I said before we are best watched with a couple of drinks in hand . As usual there was an issue , but it wouldn't be us if there wasn't some sort of problem . I suppose I did lay myself open for the Steven Spielberg comment😂.We had a great time on QM2 , far better than we expected. Exactly our thoughts as well , have fun , do as much as we can while we can . Thanks very much for following along on this Cunard adventure . LOL Pearl&Brian xx❤️❤️
Hi Guys , that is very kind , thank you glad you enjoy them . Even better that they give you a laugh , as you can tell we don’t take it too seriously 😂 .
Fabulous, really enjoyed that series. Loved Pearl's black dress with the flared sleeves, she looked so elegant in it. You both always manage to make me laugh and I'm already looking forward to the next one xxx
Hi Sara , thank you so much glad that you enjoyed our Cunard vlogs . We thoroughly enjoyed the ship . Her outfit was actually a top and skirt combination she put together many years ago . Glad we gave you a giggle Sara , thanks as always for watching our travels, see you soon. XX❤️👋👋
Really enjoy your vlogs. You are both very funny together. I am loving your outfits Pearl very classy. We are on Arvia in Jan 2025 and I am fully prepared with lots of lovely outfits. Keep up the good work. X
Evening Molly , thank you for watching the Cunard vlogs . That’s it for a couple of weeks you have earned a rest 😂 . Yes Pearl really is a lot of fun and very infectious. Thanks again Molly. Xx👋👋
Hi Guys , thank you , we had a lovely time on QM2 and wanted to see as much of the ship as possible. So we stayed onboard in Portland and had a great time exploring. Thanks very much for arranging the trip for us . 👋👋❤️🥂
Hi Guys , I would say sunny Corringham but we had some rain earlier. Glad you enjoyed the Cunard adventures. We wanted to try something a bit different and we really enjoyed it . Yes you’re right very traditional, a bit like how cruising used to be I would think . Thanks very much for watching and for commenting as well. 👋👋❤️
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619yes seems like that’s we started cruising with Princess 24 years ago and they still had semi formal nights then . We also got Petit Fore’s after dinner every night.
Hi Sharon , thanks glad you enjoyed them . It was our first time on a Cunard ship and we loved it . Would love to do another. 30th August will soon be here , hope you have a fantastic time . Pearl said thank you very much for the comments on her outfits . Thanks very much for watching. XX❤️❤️👋👋
Just caught up with the last vlog, we only came back today from our cruise to Iceland and Norway on P & O Arcadia, we’d love to do a Cunard cruise, it’s on the bucket list but those service charges tend to put us off a little as we also like a drink 😉 looking forward to your next adventures, keep them coming, thanks so much for keeping us entertained 😊🚢
Hi Denise , welcome home we hope you both had fantastic time .We have never been to Iceland , but what we have seen the landscape looks amazing. As for Cunard it really was a great experience , one that I think we would love to try again . To be fair we had forgotten all about the service charges so when we saw them it was a bit of a shock .16 Dollars each. per day . Especially after being on P&O where you don't have any of that . Glad you have enjoyed the vlogs Denise , thank you very much for following and commenting .There is the first of two videos starting on the 25 August , our family trip on Ventura to Amsterdam . Thank for all the support Denise x❤️👋👋
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Thank you, Iceland is beautiful and well worth visiting, P & O do spoil us with out charging the service charges, they are good value for money, we shall look forward to the Ventura vlogs, we remember seeing you on the Ventura at New Year, we didn’t realise you were on UA-cam until we saw the New Year vlogs, shame as we would of said hello! 😊
How funny you were on Ventura at the same time , it was good but rather wet on New Year’s eve. Yes they are definitely good value for money that’s why we have a few booked with them . Have a great weekend Denise ❤️👋👋
Really loved the ice cream man story. Maybe a whole UA-cam story right there. So well recovered with the voice over. We are encouraged to try Cunard after watching your vlogs. Bon voyage.
Thank you 😂😂🍦 , all true I was on strike for 9 weeks and had to do something for some money. It’s a wonder we didn’t poison the whole community. Yes I think we we just got away with our technical problems 😂 . That’s so good that you are going to give Cunard a try , we weren’t sure but ended up loving it . Thank you for the great comment and for watching these Cunard vlogs . XX👋👋
That trip went by in a flash, great blog series and everything you did looked very nice and the ship looks lovely to sail on, the service and food looks very good. If you have any money left after that cruise Brian, you need to go and get Pearl more shoes and bags before you get fired again😂
Thanks guys , yes it did go very quickly but it gave us a little taster on whether a Cunard Cruise would be for us . We think we would definitely like to do another one after our experience of QM2 . I’m afraid there is no pleasing some people, not enough cruises , not enough shoes and bags , no wonder I’m skint 😂😂 . Thanks as always guys , hope you are well , and thanks very much for watching and commenting 👋👋❤️❤️
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I like the look of the new Queen Anne but worried about how much it will cost 😂 love watching the videos, perfect antidote to a tough day ❤️ Have a great weekend ahead.
Hello PEEPS! Congrats on 2000 subs!! Well done, I think I joined you at 996 ish. Pearl loved your 'you don't take me on enough cruises, buy me handbags and shoes' skit. Pearl your last evening outfit was beautiful. Please, please can I come and play dress up in your wardrobe???
Hi Glenda , thank you very much , 2000 subs never ever thought that would happen when we started putting those awful holiday snaps up 😂 .Still making lots of mistakes but it adds to the fun .996 so you have been with us quite a while , and we are very thankful too . Very demanding is my Pearl cruises , handbags ,shoes want , want, want.😂. What time can we expect you round for dressing up 😂 . thanks Glenda xx❤️
Hi, brilliant vlog as always, love your energy and banter with each other, keeping it real as always. Can’t wait for the next vlog series of Pearl and Brian’s trips and adventures….. 😊
Thanks Angela , really glad that you enjoyed it . Yes lots of Micky taking , that’s what we’re like most of the time . Well when Pearl lets me get a word in 🤣 Thanks so much for watching Angela . Back on Arvia in September 👋👋❤️❤️
What a trip! Pearl is becoming quite a fashion icon! I loved that necklace, and I'm not much for them. I like broaches. You had beautiful weather. So glad you got to do this. Going to miss you till the next one. I will say I laughed when you all were in the boardroom. Pearl saying she didn't get to go on many cruises, and she didn't have enough shoes! Take care, and hopefully you will be on again soon.
Hi Rene , hope you’re not suffering with too much heat over there . Yes Pearl is becoming quite the fashion influencer. She has had a few comments about her outfit. Glad you liked her necklace she will be pleased. Yes the weather turned out really nice after all . We really liked this ship and the food , and the service, we would love to do another. I can’t do enough for Pearl I’m afraid so I have been fired , she is looking for a younger model 😂.Thanks for watching these vlogs , Rene . We should have some more in a couple of weeks. When we went back to Amsterdam. So hopefully speak then . Take care Rene , and thanks for watching.X👋❤️
Hi Percy , the ship was fabulous a real classic feel. We had a great time and would love to do another. We have found an extension , so a 99 is on its way , think of it as a thank you for watching our vlogs .😂👋👋🍦
Loved it guys ❤ you have so much fun. Pearl, your outfits are lovely. Glad you had a great time. Look forward to your next adventures. Where you off to next?
Hi Guys , thank you , yes we do try to have as much fun as we can . We are not really the channel to watch if you want facts . Normally any facts we give out are wrong 😂. We did enjoy QM2 , we were a little apprehensive at first but soon felt at home . We are back on Arvia in September, two weeks in the Mediterranean . Thank you for watching Guys and thanks for the lovely comments about Pearls outfits . ❤️👋👋
Really enjoyed the vlogs in this cunard holiday , as always you both were so funny . Pearl your black blouse was stunning ❤ and your reaction to having to do a voice over was priceless 😂and telling brian he doesnt book you enough cruises had me in stitches😂. Take care of one another till we see you back on UA-cam x hopefully quite soon . Xx
Evening Sandra , so happy that you enjoyed the Cunard vlogs . We didn’t know how it would go but they seemed to have been received pretty well . Pearl did look good in her Black outfit, very flattering. I think we just about got away with the voice over 😂 still making mistakes 😫. Hopefully speak again in a few weeks, thanks for the continued support Sandra .XX❤️❤️👋👋
Hi Laura , that sounds amazing. We have been much further afield, Caribbean, Mediterranean, New England, Canada. But this was our first taste of Cunard, and we loved it . So New York could be on the Horizon.❤️❤️
Fantastic vlog! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us xx I loved your black dress with the floaty sleeves Pearl, could I be cheeky and ask the make? It’s beautiful ❤ You looked very dapper too Brian 😁
Afternoon Sue , thank you for watching we really appreciate it , and are glad that you enjoyed it . Thank you Sue I will take dapper 😂. Pearl said it’s actually a top and skirt combination that she has had for along time . She bought them from separate boutique shops . Thanks for watching Sue xx❤️👋👋
Brilliant as always, did you see the Bibby Stockholm when you were docked in Portland?! We love the ice cream on Cunard and the story about Mr Brian and the ice cream van made us giggle! You need to try Queen Victoria she’s our fave so far. X
Evening Mandy , no we didn't see the Bibby Stockholm .. well it may well have been right in front of us but we didn't notice it . Shame because I would have liked to get Pearl a cabin onboard .😂😂. Yes we were on strike for 9 weeks and had to try and earn some money , so that was my one and only time as Mr Brian 😂. We had a great time on QM2 and would definitely like to try another Cunard ship in the future . Thanks for watching Mandy and really enjoy reading your comments .XX❤️
Hi Lorna , how are you , thank you for watching this Cunard adventure. Yes she did look great in her black number. Thought someone would mention the Stephen Spielberg comment 😂😂 Xx👋👋
Ahoy! First of all we can't believe that you had a go at being Mr & Mrs Whippy with an ice-cream van! Although after the story it should be Mr & Mrs Melty 🙂 Loving the vlog, highlights.... Brian getting fired, for not taking Pearl on enough cruises & the ice-cream cornet competition. We love how stylish you two are, we think it's great seeing everyone make an effort to get dressed up for dinner in the evenings. I start getting all twitchy if I see a geezer wearing a vest top at the breakfast buffet! "Oi mate your not at Spoons, get off my ship" :-) Can't wait for the next episode. Keep up the great work you happy people. John & Jan xx
Hi John & Jan thank you so much for such a wonderful comment ❤️. Yes ice cream man was very short lived , we were on strike for nine weeks so had to try and earn a crust from somewhere.Its a wonder I wasn’t sued for poisoning everyone.😂. Totally agree on the dressing up for the evening Comment , it’s Pearls highlight of any cruise. I think it’s nice to make the effort, and if you don’t want to join in then there’s the buffet. That was the last episode on QM2 , we are back on P&O Arvia in a few weeks for some Mediterranean sun . Thanks again to both of you for the fantastic comment and of course for watching our vlog . Xx❤️👋👋
Lovely couple. Been waiting for this. Pearl has great dancing moves Brian. Show us off. QM2 is a lovely ship. I just hate deck hogging on cruise ships and I cannot see that on QM2. Techie issue well sorted.
Thanks Tim , yes Pearl certainly likes to get on the dance floor . Most of her moves she has copied from myself 😂. QM2 really was a beautiful ship , a classic. I’m afraid deck hogging happens on most ships , not for us . Yes I think we just about got away with the technical problems 😂. Thanks very much for binge watching those earlier vlogs .
Thanks Louise , to be fair we didn't even look at the price of a drinks package , and some of that bill included a couple of drinks in the Champagne bar . P&O Is definitely good value for money , but we just wanted to experience something different . But we are back on Arvia soon for two weeks around the Mediterranean . Thanks for following our exploits on Cunard Louise xx❤️
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 that’s very good then if it included champagne. I’m going on the Queen Victoria next summer. Will let you know what I think. You must like the Arvia if you are cruising on her again 😀. I’m going on the Iona for Christmas and a bit apprehensive going on one of the huge vessels but I’m sure I will enjoy it 😀
Queen Victoria , that should be very nice , we will be very interested on your thoughts , again we have heard lots of good reviews . Im sure you will be fine on Iona , she is a nice ship , a little smaller than Arvia . We are on her as well in December can't think of the exact date but I know it's early December . X
Hi Ian , that sounds a bit warm , thank you so much for watching all the way over in Rome . Hope you’re able to cool down soon , maybe a cold beer will help .🍺👋👋
Hi Steve&Wendy , what a small world it is , Pearl came home and said guess what happened as I walked through Basildon . She said that she met this lovely couple who watch our vlogs and they live in Langdon Hills . I have seen your work Steve on instagram , very talented . Thanks very much for watching our vlogs, and Pearl said it was great to meet you both .👋👋
So you both pulled it off, two Essex folk going posh on Cunard😂 Steven Spielberg comment was very funny, Pearl not knowing where she is, Planet Bar😂😂 You two are absolute gems you really are, next up the med. I can't wait to video bomb ya (joke) Congratulations again. On 2,000 subs, this time next year, im saying 10,000. Never change and keep being yourselves. that's the appeal with your channel. Have a great upcoming cruise. Marc&Kelly.
Morning Marc & Kelly , what a great comment thank you so much , you can video bomb us any time 😂. Yes two commoners mixing with the upper classes 😂. To be fair they were normal people just an older demographic. More mistakes, but then it wouldn’t be a P&B vlog if there wasn’t some cock ups 🤣 Yes the med is coming around very quickly now Suitcases will be out of the loft soon . Thank you 🙏 we were pleasantly surprised with the 2000 so any more will be a bonus. If you can get us to 10,000 by next year then we will have to hire you as our advisor 😂🤣. We certainly won’t be changing, we are to old to change now 👴. Hope you enjoy the cruise as well , see you at a bar 🍺🥂 thanks again for the great message . Pearl & Brian 👋👋❤️
Hi guys Can't believe it's the last one of this series 😢. I do like the curved walls and doors in the cabin compared to other ships. Makes a change, and the blue of the cushions . I did wonder at first why you weren't getting off the ship in Portland, but after you explained later in vlog it makes sense plus only being on the ship for 3 days you need to get your money's worth out of ship lol 😆. Breakfast looked lovely 😍 and you're right, Brian . Pearl doesn't need any of that beauty treatment on board as she is very beautiful, but I'm curious to know if you both ever do any of the classes and things that are advertised on the others' ships ?. I did also like the sun loungers blue again 💙 my favourite colour . They looked very comfortable and regal . James noticed that you do like an apple pie with custard 🍮 he would notice as it's his favourite as well 😉 or maybe a crumble first, lol 😆. Also, while we are on the subject of food, I think I vaguely remember having a misshapen lolly back in the 70s from a Mr Brian 😉 as a 7 year old that gave me a bellyache , been looking for compensation ever since 😀 glad I found you😅😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍. Also, Pearl, I think you should be upgraded to Empress now instead of Princess 👸 😉. The ships entertainment didn't have the fun feel of the other ships you have been on ,you both were the best dancers, by the way . I'm glad you both enjoyed yourselves on Queen Mary 2 . Look forward to the next one. Take care both of you till next time 🎉😊❤❤✨️👋👋👋👋👋A&J xxxx
Hi Amanda , the cabins were very nice and for their age they had been well looked after . Could do with a modern shower cubicle. We really enjoyed the food onboard, we thought it was a better standard than P&O in our opinion. Not really into doing any classes , unless there is wine tasting 🥂🤣 . I have climbed the wall on the Caribbean ships before, and did the aerial walk on Arvia . Sun lounges were very comfortable with the nice thick padding. James obviously has great taste , I love most desserts with custard, has to be hot custard and not too thick and lumpy like it was at school.😫. So you have finally tracked us down, we will have to settle out of court I’m afraid , we have spent our money on cruises.🚢 😂. Empress 😱 she would be totally unbearable 😫. Thanks Amanda and James we had a brilliant few days , and although it was different to what we usually do we would certainly book another. Thank you both for watching and the fantastic comments, Pearl is planning for Arvia in a few weeks. Take care both of you XX❤️❤️👋👋🥂🥂
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 we will look forward to seeing Arvia series soon 😀 😊 mean while I still have a few more vlogs to get through, and keep me going until the new ones are out . Do you think I could get an Olympic medal for this lol 😆 😅 😂 🤣
Hi Pearl & Brian, the end already 😢 Loved the insight into Cunard from you both, apart from the service charge you bill wasn’t too bad really when you think what you are on, we have just said tonight we may look to do a 3 nighter now, I think I’d like to try Queen Anne ☺️ I totally agreed with Pearl, I couldn’t do Shakespeare! The 60s music is more our scene they sounded good! There seemed to be a few kids around when you were in the pool, somehow I can’t imagine kids on there 🤷🏼♀️😂 Loved the story about your ice cream escapade!! Looking forward to the Ventura vlog now 🤗 Have a great week, take care xxx 😍
Morning Al , always love to read your comments. Yes the end of the Cunard adventure. We had a lot of fun filming it and really enjoyed our short visit to QM2 . That’s great you might try a Cunard experience, and a 3 night one gives you a nice taste to see if it’s for you . A bit of Shakespeare , you don’t know what you’re missing out on 🤣😂 . There were a few kids around , not many thankfully , sound like a right old moaner 😂 . Yes 9 weeks of being on strike I had to try and earn some money, wonder we weren’t sued for poisoning everyone.😂 Thanks again Al for watching and always great comments, speak again soon hopefully. Xx❤️❤️👋👋🥂
Just binged the latest QM vids (Olympics has impeded my youtubing!) . I loved this!! I think I have avoided looking at Cunard as people have said it's always super formal, and it's kind of put me off as not wanting to go on it as I am not a particularly formal kind of guy. But it didn't look as formal as I was expecting from this? how did you find it? as always vids are great! thanks for producing! 🙂
Hi Senseicads , yes sometimes there are more exciting things to watch.😂 🤣. We had the same thoughts, would it be too formal and stuffy. But we found it really was just normal people having fun . They dressed smart at dinner but not over the top . It was definitely an older demographic , and some just go on for the ballroom dancing. We would definitely try another one . Really glad that you enjoyed these vlogs, thanks very much for watching. 👋👋🙏
Poor Pearl, not spoilt...Her neck is dripping in gold . 😆 I would just like to say that Brians outfits are good too, it is not all about dresses.🤭 Sound can be a nightmare, My last vid , somehow lost the intro music, my mic slipped up to the side of my neck on the camera bag strap and messed with sound..Spent ages trying to edit sound..Trains , planes and echos all added to the problems..P.s. Shez went to the loo with mic on, and as I filmed outside scenes , her mic kicks in on record and picked up her sounds from the toilet...😮 .........Waiting for your next fun adventure. 😜
Thanks Pete , you’re right it’s not all about dresses, mind you I do look quite good in a ball gown 😂 . You’re right about the sound , glad to hear it’s not just us 😫. I am always telling Pearl about remembering to turn her mic off when she visits the ladies, usually I get her whole conversation when she’s in the queue. I bet Shez was mortified when you told her 😂 . That’s it for a few weeks , thanks as always guys your support is always appreciated.👋👋🥂
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I have 6 cruises coming up (4 on QM2) early Oct-Dec, and of course that's always my concern. I'll just do what I've done before and wear a mask 😀 So far never got covid.🤞 Thanks for your video.
Really enjoy your vlogs. You are both very funny together. I am loving your outfits Pearl very classy. We are on Arvia in Jan 2025 and I am fully prepared with lots of lovely outfits. Keep up the good work. X
Hi Dawn , really glad that you enjoy our vlogs thank you very much .You sound very much like Pearl , the best part of the cruise is getting dressed up in the evening in her opinion . Glad you have your wardrobe all ready , I bet you will look spectacular .Have a great time on Arvia , it's lovely to get away from the UK in the winter for some sun . Thanks for the lovely message and for watching our vlogs .xx ❤️
What a lovely time you had. Brilliant

Hi Percy , the ship was fabulous a real classic feel. We had a great time and would love to do another. We have found an extension , so a 99 is on its way , think of it as a thank you for watching our vlogs .😂👋👋🍦
Loved it guys ❤ you have so much fun. Pearl, your outfits are lovely. Glad you had a great time. Look forward to your next adventures. Where you off to next?
Hi Guys , thank you , yes we do try to have as much fun as we can . We are not really the channel to watch if you want facts . Normally any facts we give out are wrong 😂. We did enjoy QM2 , we were a little apprehensive at first but soon felt at home . We are back on Arvia in September, two weeks in the Mediterranean . Thank you for watching Guys and thanks for the lovely comments about Pearls outfits . ❤️👋👋
Really enjoyed the vlogs in this cunard holiday , as always you both were so funny . Pearl your black blouse was stunning ❤ and your reaction to having to do a voice over was priceless 😂and telling brian he doesnt book you enough cruises had me in stitches😂. Take care of one another till we see you back on UA-cam x hopefully quite soon . Xx
Evening Sandra , so happy that you enjoyed the Cunard vlogs . We didn’t know how it would go but they seemed to have been received pretty well . Pearl did look good in her Black outfit, very flattering. I think we just about got away with the voice over 😂 still making mistakes 😫. Hopefully speak again in a few weeks, thanks for the continued support Sandra .XX❤️❤️👋👋
You adorable darlings need to go further afield! Like new Years Eve in New York on the QM2. Happy landings! ❤️🇨🇦 #QM2
Hi Laura , that sounds amazing. We have been much further afield, Caribbean, Mediterranean, New England, Canada. But this was our first taste of Cunard, and we loved it . So New York could be on the Horizon.❤️❤️
Thanks for a wonderful vlog ❤️
Evening Yvonne, thank you glad you liked it , thank you for following this Cunard adventure.X❤️👋👋
Fantastic vlog! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us xx I loved your black dress with the floaty sleeves Pearl, could I be cheeky and ask the make? It’s beautiful ❤ You looked very dapper too Brian 😁
Afternoon Sue , thank you for watching we really appreciate it , and are glad that you enjoyed it . Thank you Sue I will take dapper 😂. Pearl said it’s actually a top and skirt combination that she has had for along time . She bought them from separate boutique shops . Thanks for watching Sue xx❤️👋👋
Brilliant as always, did you see the Bibby Stockholm when you were docked in Portland?!
We love the ice cream on Cunard and the story about Mr Brian and the ice cream van made us giggle!
You need to try Queen Victoria she’s our fave so far. X
Evening Mandy , no we didn't see the Bibby Stockholm .. well it may well have been right in front of us but we didn't notice it . Shame because I would have liked to get Pearl a cabin onboard .😂😂. Yes we were on strike for 9 weeks and had to try and earn some money , so that was my one and only time as Mr Brian 😂.
We had a great time on QM2 and would definitely like to try another Cunard ship in the future . Thanks for watching Mandy and really enjoy reading your comments .XX❤️
Another stunning dress Pearl. Loved the Stephen Spielberg of Essex comment 😂😂😂😂
Hi Lorna , how are you , thank you for watching this Cunard adventure. Yes she did look great in her black number. Thought someone would mention the Stephen Spielberg comment 😂😂
Xx👋👋
Ahoy!
First of all we can't believe that you had a go at being Mr & Mrs Whippy with an ice-cream van! Although after the story it should be Mr & Mrs Melty 🙂
Loving the vlog, highlights.... Brian getting fired, for not taking Pearl on enough cruises & the ice-cream cornet competition. We love how stylish you two are, we think it's great seeing everyone make an effort to get dressed up for dinner in the evenings. I start getting all twitchy if I see a geezer wearing a vest top at the breakfast buffet! "Oi mate your not at Spoons, get off my ship" :-) Can't wait for the next episode. Keep up the great work you happy people.
John & Jan xx
Hi John & Jan thank you so much for such a wonderful comment ❤️. Yes ice cream man was very short lived , we were on strike for nine weeks so had to try and earn a crust from somewhere.Its a wonder I wasn’t sued for poisoning everyone.😂.
Totally agree on the dressing up for the evening Comment , it’s Pearls highlight of any cruise. I think it’s nice to make the effort, and if you don’t want to join in then there’s the buffet. That was the last episode on QM2 , we are back on P&O Arvia in a few weeks for some Mediterranean sun . Thanks again to both of you for the fantastic comment and of course for watching our vlog . Xx❤️👋👋
Lovely couple. Been waiting for this. Pearl has great dancing moves Brian. Show us off. QM2 is a lovely ship. I just hate deck hogging on cruise ships and I cannot see that on QM2. Techie issue well sorted.
Thanks Tim , yes Pearl certainly likes to get on the dance floor . Most of her moves she has copied from myself 😂. QM2 really was a beautiful ship , a classic. I’m afraid deck hogging happens on most ships , not for us . Yes I think we just about got away with the technical problems 😂. Thanks very much for binge watching those earlier vlogs .
Great vlogg guys thank you. I think I would need a drinks package with Cunard as I’d normally spend about £350 with PandO for 7 nights. 😊
Thanks Louise , to be fair we didn't even look at the price of a drinks package , and some of that bill included a couple of drinks in the Champagne bar . P&O Is definitely good value for money , but we just wanted to experience something different . But we are back on Arvia soon for two weeks around the Mediterranean . Thanks for following our exploits on Cunard Louise xx❤️
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 that’s very good then if it included champagne. I’m going on the Queen Victoria next summer. Will let you know what I think. You must like the Arvia if you are cruising on her again 😀. I’m going on the Iona for Christmas and a bit apprehensive going on one of the huge vessels but I’m sure I will enjoy it 😀
Queen Victoria , that should be very nice , we will be very interested on your thoughts , again we have heard lots of good reviews . Im sure you will be fine on Iona , she is a nice ship , a little smaller than Arvia . We are on her as well in December can't think of the exact date but I know it's early December . X
As ever great viewing 👀 greetings from sunny Rome (and 36 degree heat 🥵)
Hi Ian , that sounds a bit warm , thank you so much for watching all the way over in Rome . Hope you’re able to cool down soon , maybe a cold beer will help .🍺👋👋
really nice to bump into Pearl in the Eastgate today (Mon 5th August 2024) and say hi and have a chat - Steve & Wendy! (Langdon hills)
Hi Steve&Wendy , what a small world it is , Pearl came home and said guess what happened as I walked through Basildon . She said that she met this lovely couple who watch our vlogs and they live in Langdon Hills . I have seen your work Steve on instagram , very talented . Thanks very much for watching our vlogs, and Pearl said it was great to meet you both .👋👋
So you both pulled it off, two Essex folk going posh on Cunard😂
Steven Spielberg comment was very funny, Pearl not knowing where she is, Planet Bar😂😂
You two are absolute gems you really are, next up the med.
I can't wait to video bomb ya (joke)
Congratulations again. On 2,000 subs, this time next year, im saying 10,000.
Never change and keep being yourselves. that's the appeal with your channel.
Have a great upcoming cruise.
Marc&Kelly.
Morning Marc & Kelly , what a great comment thank you so much , you can video bomb us any time 😂. Yes two commoners mixing with the upper classes 😂. To be fair they were normal people just an older demographic. More mistakes, but then it wouldn’t be a P&B vlog if there wasn’t some cock ups 🤣
Yes the med is coming around very quickly now Suitcases will be out of the loft soon .
Thank you 🙏 we were pleasantly surprised with the 2000 so any more will be a bonus. If you can get us to 10,000 by next year then we will have to hire you as our advisor 😂🤣.
We certainly won’t be changing, we are to old to change now 👴. Hope you enjoy the cruise as well , see you at a bar 🍺🥂 thanks again for the great message . Pearl & Brian 👋👋❤️
Hi guys
Can't believe it's the last one of this series 😢. I do like the curved walls and doors in the cabin compared to other ships. Makes a change, and the blue of the cushions . I did wonder at first why you weren't getting off the ship in Portland, but after you explained later in vlog it makes sense plus only being on the ship for 3 days you need to get your money's worth out of ship lol 😆. Breakfast looked lovely 😍 and you're right, Brian . Pearl doesn't need any of that beauty treatment on board as she is very beautiful, but I'm curious to know if you both ever do any of the classes and things that are advertised on the others' ships ?. I did also like the sun loungers blue again 💙 my favourite colour . They looked very comfortable and regal . James noticed that you do like an apple pie with custard 🍮 he would notice as it's his favourite as well 😉 or maybe a crumble first, lol 😆. Also, while we are on the subject of food, I think I vaguely remember having a misshapen lolly back in the 70s from a Mr Brian 😉 as a 7 year old that gave me a bellyache , been looking for compensation ever since 😀 glad I found you😅😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍. Also, Pearl, I think you should be upgraded to Empress now instead of Princess 👸 😉. The ships entertainment didn't have the fun feel of the other ships you have been on ,you both were the best dancers, by the way . I'm glad you both enjoyed yourselves on Queen Mary 2 . Look forward to the next one. Take care both of you till next time 🎉😊❤❤✨️👋👋👋👋👋A&J xxxx
Hi Amanda , the cabins were very nice and for their age they had been well looked after . Could do with a modern shower cubicle. We really enjoyed the food onboard, we thought it was a better standard than P&O in our opinion.
Not really into doing any classes , unless there is wine tasting 🥂🤣 . I have climbed the wall on the Caribbean ships before, and did the aerial walk on Arvia . Sun lounges were very comfortable with the nice thick padding. James obviously has great taste , I love most desserts with custard, has to be hot custard and not too thick and lumpy like it was at school.😫.
So you have finally tracked us down, we will have to settle out of court I’m afraid , we have spent our money on cruises.🚢 😂.
Empress 😱 she would be totally unbearable 😫. Thanks Amanda and James we had a brilliant few days , and although it was different to what we usually do we would certainly book another. Thank you both for watching and the fantastic comments, Pearl is planning for Arvia in a few weeks. Take care both of you XX❤️❤️👋👋🥂🥂
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 we will look forward to seeing Arvia series soon 😀 😊 mean while I still have a few more vlogs to get through, and keep me going until the new ones are out . Do you think I could get an Olympic medal for this lol 😆 😅 😂 🤣
😂😂 you certainly deserve a gold at least 🥇XX❤️❤️
Hi Pearl & Brian, the end already 😢
Loved the insight into Cunard from you both, apart from the service charge you bill wasn’t too bad really when you think what you are on, we have just said tonight we may look to do a 3 nighter now, I think I’d like to try Queen Anne ☺️
I totally agreed with Pearl, I couldn’t do Shakespeare! The 60s music is more our scene they sounded good!
There seemed to be a few kids around when you were in the pool, somehow I can’t imagine kids on there 🤷🏼♀️😂
Loved the story about your ice cream escapade!!
Looking forward to the Ventura vlog now 🤗
Have a great week, take care xxx 😍
Morning Al , always love to read your comments. Yes the end of the Cunard adventure. We had a lot of fun filming it and really enjoyed our short visit to QM2 .
That’s great you might try a Cunard experience, and a 3 night one gives you a nice taste to see if it’s for you .
A bit of Shakespeare , you don’t know what you’re missing out on 🤣😂 .
There were a few kids around , not many thankfully , sound like a right old moaner 😂 .
Yes 9 weeks of being on strike I had to try and earn some money, wonder we weren’t sued for poisoning everyone.😂
Thanks again Al for watching and always great comments, speak again soon hopefully. Xx❤️❤️👋👋🥂
Just binged the latest QM vids (Olympics has impeded my youtubing!) . I loved this!! I think I have avoided looking at Cunard as people have said it's always super formal, and it's kind of put me off as not wanting to go on it as I am not a particularly formal kind of guy. But it didn't look as formal as I was expecting from this? how did you find it? as always vids are great! thanks for producing! 🙂
Hi Senseicads , yes sometimes there are more exciting things to watch.😂 🤣. We had the same thoughts, would it be too formal and stuffy. But we found it really was just normal people having fun . They dressed smart at dinner but not over the top . It was definitely an older demographic , and some just go on for the ballroom dancing. We would definitely try another one . Really glad that you enjoyed these vlogs, thanks very much for watching. 👋👋🙏
Poor Pearl, not spoilt...Her neck is dripping in gold . 😆 I would just like to say that Brians outfits are good too, it is not all about dresses.🤭 Sound can be a nightmare, My last vid , somehow lost the intro music, my mic slipped up to the side of my neck on the camera bag strap and messed with sound..Spent ages trying to edit sound..Trains , planes and echos all added to the problems..P.s. Shez went to the loo with mic on, and as I filmed outside scenes , her mic kicks in on record and picked up her sounds from the toilet...😮 .........Waiting for your next fun adventure. 😜
Thanks Pete , you’re right it’s not all about dresses, mind you I do look quite good in a ball gown 😂 . You’re right about the sound , glad to hear it’s not just us 😫. I am always telling Pearl about remembering to turn her mic off when she visits the ladies, usually I get her whole conversation when she’s in the queue. I bet Shez was mortified when you told her 😂 .
That’s it for a few weeks , thanks as always guys your support is always appreciated.👋👋🥂
I’m with P I don’t think I could sit underneath those life boats I’d feel that they’d come down on me.
Brian’s the joker not Pearl 😂😂
All the people coughing 😷
Hi , at the time we didn’t notice, but when you play it back 😱 thanks very much for watching.👋👋
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I have 6 cruises coming up (4 on QM2) early Oct-Dec, and of course that's always my concern. I'll just do what I've done before and wear a mask 😀 So far never got covid.🤞 Thanks for your video.
🫶🏼
Thanks Sarah ❤️❤️👋👋
Really enjoy your vlogs. You are both very funny together. I am loving your outfits Pearl very classy. We are on Arvia in Jan 2025 and I am fully prepared with lots of lovely outfits. Keep up the good work. X
Hi Dawn , really glad that you enjoy our vlogs thank you very much .You sound very much like Pearl , the best part of the cruise is getting dressed up in the evening in her opinion . Glad you have your wardrobe all ready , I bet you will look spectacular .Have a great time on Arvia , it's lovely to get away from the UK in the winter for some sun . Thanks for the lovely message and for watching our vlogs .xx ❤️
