The Caribbean Princess is special to me also. Had my first balcony on her when she was still brand new. Almost 20 years ago. Used to cruise with my best friend of 50 years. Lost him to cancer last year. I have the Utopia booked in November .. but I will be solo. Cruise 24. Enjoy your friendship Tony and Don. It'll be a memory one day.
Sorry for your loss. I am happy you will still cruise on your own, your friend will be happy that you are still cruising and you will forever have him still with you as you travel ❤❤❤
Aw, i recognize the waterfall at the beginning of your video and that you can see from the cruise ship! We also saw a baby seal by the whale tail statue. We went a year ago. Have a great cruise!
OK...now I am sold...as soon as we get a Tony and Don walking and immersing and discovering together vibe...no strength to narrow destinations due to living in colder climates...it is all wonderfu travel lit fodder and yes yes yes. The culture looks so clean and lovely, Sea and fresh rain when 50 and above is not ab at all...hands are not begging for gloves. You two are the best and it is so great to share a cruising friendship like this. Every video like this one is a mini vacation...so grateful...thank you.
My husband and I are 'land locked ' for a while and I'm living vicariously through your vlogs, thank you! I'm making mental notes of all the places I want to visit when we can cruise again.❤
When we arrived there May 16, 2023 it was snowing but we were really for it. Everything look like it was black and white. We stayed over night so we got to see a lot more.The second day the sun came out and it was different kind of beautiful.
FYI Icelanders do not have official "last names": they have patronymics. such as Samuel's if your father's name is Samuel or Sigridsdottir if your mother's name is Sigrid.
I bought a pair of socks while on a tour out of Reykjavik. They were 8500 Icelandic kroner. Which is about $20 usd. Prices were nuts there. But they did have cute puffins on them.
I've visited Iceland a few times and it is seriously my favourite place on earth. Renting a van and going on a multi days tour is the way to go, there is just so much beauty to take in.
We took a Holland America cruise out of Boston, up Maine, Canada, Greenland, circumvented Iceland and back to Greenland, St. Pierre and back to Canada and Maine and back to Boston. 25 days. And it was marvelous.
One of my favorite beers is from Akureyri, Iceland, Einstok Toasted Porter! We celebrated our 10 year anniversary 11 years ago on the Caribbean Princess!
Looks like an Interesting town to explore. That dog was definitely enjoying a nice swim and made me smile but the breaking news about Don's Doughnuts made me laugh!!
104 degrees. Living vicariously through you. Thanks Tony! That walk to the church reminds me of my first PT test without a track. Run to the flag and back. It seemed SO close. 😂😂😂
I'm going to be in Akureyri 9/28 onboard the NCL PRIMA. I greatly appreciate the first look. My excursion is at 12:30, so I will be doing your walk, that was Beautifully presented. Thank you
Love your Icelandic videos - I wound up watching the excursion to Godafoss first, then this one. There‘s something magical about just wandering around a port city…
Hey Tony loved your videos from your Greenland trip looks like you had an awesome cruise. Happy you put that crazy lady in her place what happened to chilling out your on vacation. Thank you for making all those great videos while you were on your vacation so we could all enjoy your experiences can’t wait to go on my next one we all appreciate your hard work.
My sister and I will be there in a few weeks on a cruise! I can't wait. We have an early excursion so hope to walk a bit after and this video was great. Thanks!
I was on Sky Princess last month and also went to Godafuss Falls and the botanical gardens, as well as time spent wandering the town. It was my second time there, with a gorgeous day the previous visit and most of the townspeople out enjoying activities in the main square you showed. It was quieter this time on a cooler day, but is still one of my favourite ports. I look forward to seeing your upcoming posts of this cruise, as well as Don's posts. It is fun seeing places you know and re-visiting my trip through your eyes. Thanks so much!
Hopefully the visit to Akureyri was pleasant. Here is some information. The street with the art museum, these buildings were used for industry. "Ketilhús" housed a large steam boiler and the steam was used in the houses above where dairy products were processed. The Blue House (which is now a cafe), this building had 3 shops. There was a gift/toy store on the left and a thrift store on the right. On the floor above was a shop that sold materials for sewing. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Iceland, Norway and Alaska have been some of my favorite places to cruise. I see now that in future years things will be different with restrictions and such.
Back in 2018 our transatlantic cruise was supposed to spend one day in Akureyri. But there were some very rough seas, so we ended up spending 3 days there (along with 3 other ships) since it is such a sheltered port. We had a planned excursion to Godafoss one day, but the other two days we just walked around the city. Such a lovely place (the church, the botanical garden, the waterfront, the traffic lights where the red lights are heart-shaped, etc) - and we found a great bakery cafe that had free WiFi.
Thanks for this tour. I've been through Iceland several times, but never left the airport until traveling back from a Mediterranean cruise last year. I'm about to book a cruise for Greenland & Iceland, and can't wait.
Just a note for anyone going to Iceland....Their pharmacies have very limited drugs. Most things that we (in the US) consider over-the-counter, they need a prescription for. For example, cold medicine, Ibuprofen..... I am doing these ports next year so am enjoying the preview! Thanks Tony!
We went to Iceland last year. The waterfall at the beginning of your video, shows how hot the water is coming from the ground…it is steaming as it hits the cold North Atlantic. Loved this cruise. Have fun, Tony.
Iceland is a truly magical place. The only way to really experience it is by car though. We did an 11-day self driving tour last summer and it 100% amazing.
Caribbean Princess is our favorite ship. We love it for warm weather cruises because Skywalkers provides shade for the aft pool which is less crowded than the main pools. We also love that they have left the Wheelhouse bar as a nice uncrowded place to have a drink and listen to some live music. Emerald Princess took a lot of Wheelhouse and put in casual dining.
I LOVE Iceland! I performed with the USO and my first tour stop was Iceland (I thought I was dreaming when I was told it was one of my stops)! After watching this I must cruise there! Thanks for the reminder Tony 👍🏿
Don’t you just love their stop lights? We walked up to the botanical gardens, past that church, and had coffee. Also went to the waterfall of the gods; I hope your tour guide told you the story. It was actually warm and sunny when we were there in July 2023.
I literally had a hotdog from that same trailer in 2019. So cool to see the town again. We will be back up there again and Greenland next summer with Celebrity. Already looking forward to it. Thanks for the views.
Loved Iceland! Be sure to try the ice cream. If you buy anything, be sure to read where it was made. Those stores that sell Icelandic goods have them made elsewhere. And, the waterfall of the gods is amazing.
I envy your being in Iceland, my grandfather came from there but have never got to visit. Good luck to Don with his donut 🍩 empire. Thank goodness they have many food choices for all those starving souls from the cruise ship !
Iceland is fantastic. Have visited. Let me know if you visit the "Little Forest" a tourist attraction. My granddaughter is a US/Icelander dual citizen. While Mexico drinks the most CocoCola Icelanders drink more percapita. Icelands famous hot dogs are lamb, they have others but the lamb their most famous.
Tony, keep your shorts on when visiting to the Blue Lagoon . Another eruption is due any day. Lucky 🍀 you. You will drive through the Berns surrounding and protecting the site . So you are safe Enjoy
Just got back from Iceland on the Queen Anne....how amazingly quirky is Iceland....I think we have to go back...and do Greenland as well....waiting for your videos on that

Just sending good vibes for your trip...loss is lousy...pray you have a very special time.
One of my favourite things about cruising is waking up and seeing what the port looks like. I am always in awe
Aw, i recognize the waterfall at the beginning of your video and that you can see from the cruise ship! We also saw a baby seal by the whale tail statue. We went a year ago. Have a great cruise!
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Iceland. Thank you. It’s so beautiful. I pray Jenny and your family in Florida will be safe from the hurricane 🙏
Thank you 😊
@@TheJennyBShow Stay safe JennyB!!!
You were in great form today. From "book worms unite" to your art explanation of the art museum. Keep up the great entertainment!

Love that you're adventuring in other parts of the world! LOVE listening and watching your "take" on things! Enjoy your cruise! 🛳
Love the videos, Tony keep them coming. It’s great to come along for your adventures.
I'm excited that Caribbean Princess will be home ported at my home port of Port Canaveral in November! I can't wait!!!
Never been to Iceland but now I wanna go. Hope Jenny B is hunkering down and safe.
I am thank you 😊
Coats in the middle of summer. Sounds like my kind of place.
One of my favorite beers is from Akureyri, Iceland, Einstok Toasted Porter!
We celebrated our 10 year anniversary 11 years ago on the Caribbean Princess!
Thanks for sharing
Love the walk & talk
Looks like an Interesting town to explore. That dog was definitely enjoying a nice swim and made me smile but the breaking news about Don's Doughnuts made me laugh!!
You and Don have such a nice time together 😊❤
I loved Akureyri and Isafjourdur. We must be following behind you.
104 degrees. Living vicariously through you. Thanks Tony!

Iceland is so fantastic!
I loved every port we visited on two cruises and will definitely cruise there again!
There is still sooooooo much to see!
I really dig it when the ship does that awesome pirouette to dock.❤
Thank you for the Don/David comment. Just spit my coffee all over the coffee table I just cleaned yesterday 🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoy the interaction between you guys. Glad is see the fun you are having.
I’ve been there three times I love Iceland the people are amazing ❤
My sister and I will be there in a few weeks on a cruise! I can't wait. We have an early excursion so hope to walk a bit after and this video was great. Thanks!
A beautiful country, very safe, very friendly people.

Hi Tony and Don!! We want to go to Iceland! Thank you for taking us along!!!🥰🥰🥰
Iceland, Norway and Alaska have been some of my favorite places to cruise. I see now that in future years things will be different with restrictions and such.
Iceland is great because of the people that live there!
Fond memories for me, too . . . went on my fourth honeymoon on the Caribbean Princess . . . that was one of my favorite marriages.
😂😂😂
I love watching your vids like this. Just wandering around a city and seeing the city itself.
One of my favorite places. Lived there for 5 years.
Great dialogue with the video
Terrific job as always. This is the town in Iceland that brews my favorite beer.
Great video! You expressed the awesomeness we feel cruising too

Love those destination talks! So helpful!
Thanks for this tour. I've been through Iceland several times, but never left the airport until traveling back from a Mediterranean cruise last year. I'm about to book a cruise for Greenland & Iceland, and can't wait.
Glad I did my travels when I was younger and could walk more.

Thanks Tony for the tour. I'm really enjoyed this.
Keep the Caribbean Princess pretty for us. We Embark as you disembark.
Iceland is a truly magical place. The only way to really experience it is by car though. We did an 11-day self driving tour last summer and it 100% amazing.
Hi Tony. So much to see and do. Will definitely have to go on the list. Thank you for all you do.
Fjords Are absolutely Amazing, been to the Norwegian fjords twice. They are Breathtaking!!
Nice little town and not too crowded. Enjoy your excursion.

Great video ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing Iceland with us. It's so helpful for those of us planning to visit there soon. Your videos are so enjoyable 😊
Make sure to look at the channel ‘Iceland with a view’ really helped us with our planning.
I LOVE Iceland! I performed with the USO and my first tour stop was Iceland (I thought I was dreaming when I was told it was one of my stops)! After watching this I must cruise there! Thanks for the reminder Tony 👍🏿
I really like your videos. You detail the places so well it feels like we are traveling with you
Thanks!
Thanks for bringing us along. You're a great tour guide.
I can’t wait to go to Iceland, looks fantastic!
The hot dog bun’s ash color was great 😂
Don’t you just love their stop lights? We walked up to the botanical gardens, past that church, and had coffee. Also went to the waterfall of the gods; I hope your tour guide told you the story. It was actually warm and sunny when we were there in July 2023.
I totally enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!!
Loved the tour !
We were there a week ago on Holland America. Weather was unbelievably good.
Don has a “Hole” lot of experience to perfect his donuts! Let’s see it and try one!! 😂
Is he REALKY buying a donut shop there???😮
Tony- you have great energy to do all these excursions!! Have fun! Don’t work Don too hard! 🤣
It was so fun watching y'all in Iceland. I thought I was about the ship for your cruise vlogs but I've really been loving your shore excursions.
I literally had a hotdog from that same trailer in 2019. So cool to see the town again. We will be back up there again and Greenland next summer with Celebrity. Already looking forward to it. Thanks for the views.
I loved Iceland so Beautiful
Loved Iceland! Be sure to try the ice cream. If you buy anything, be sure to read where it was made. Those stores that sell Icelandic goods have them made elsewhere. And, the waterfall of the gods is amazing.
Ive been in November and it was knee high snow. Spectacular though.
😂 Y'all are so funny and fun to watch!
If you have time and the tour is available the Food Walk with Wake Up Reykjavik is fantastic. And they are a great tour company to work with.
What a great looking town. ❤
I love your videos and just realized my parents and kid are on this cruise. Now I'm just scanning the background for a kid in a Puffin hat
I envy your being in Iceland, my grandfather came from there but have never got to visit. Good luck to Don with his donut 🍩 empire. Thank goodness they have many food choices for all those starving souls from the cruise ship !
Don could have a problem though. Since he is only experienced in eating them. He could eat all the profits.
I’m going sept 2024
NCL
Thank you 🙏🏼
Ur videos have been very helpful
Tony
Over and over again you never fail to provide outstanding vlogs. Thanks for a wonderful tour.
Just went on our first Alaska cruise and loved it. This cruise stop looks beautiful! ❤we definitely need to experience Iceland
Iceland is fantastic. Have visited. Let me know if you visit the "Little Forest" a tourist attraction.
My granddaughter is a US/Icelander dual citizen. While Mexico drinks the most CocoCola Icelanders drink more percapita. Icelands famous hot dogs are lamb, they have others but the lamb their most famous.
We just came back from Iceland. You are going to love it. Try Sky lagoon. It's Wonder ❤
Iceland is amazing. Just got back from being on the Sky Princess several weeks ago. Enjoy all the amazing sites!
Were you on the June 29th cruise? It was awesome.
Yes what an amazing cruise in both Norway and Iceland 😊
The Caribbean princess is still a buetiful ship I went on her twice when
She was brand new.
Iceland is amazing !!!
Beautiful, loved our visit when we cruised on Celebrity Reflection from Ireland to Iceland
Looks beautiful!
It’s such a beautiful city. I hope the sun comes out for you. We were there last year on a sunny day.
Tony, keep your shorts on when visiting to the Blue Lagoon . Another eruption is due any day. Lucky 🍀 you. You will drive through the Berns surrounding and protecting the site . So you are safe Enjoy
There is an Ice ware shop at the Reycvick port as well.
Also in Reyjavik a great restaurant is Bastards. Delicious drinks & food. Next to Sands hotel
Reykjavik means “smoky bay”, named by the Vikings. The cathedral is beautiful in Reykjavik. I went there on the Island Princess.
Say hi to my cousins ! Haven’t been back in years but if you have ever read the sagas you’ve read about my family. Proud of my Icelandic heritage!
I was there about 9 weeks ago. Boy it was cold. Enjoy Iceland.
There is an amazing seafood restaurant in there.
Iceland is fantastic! The hot dogs are fantastic!!! Also I love the chocolate / black licorice candy bars 😎😎😎
Just got back from Iceland on the Queen Anne....how amazingly quirky is Iceland....I think we have to go back...and do Greenland as well....waiting for your videos on that
