Hi Jamie, so pleased to hear that your still investing time to vlog. I've told all my friends and family about your site and all my friends follow you and I've even got my mum watching you. Your the best in the business. I see you studied at my home town of Bradford. I'm glad to say I don't live there now lol. I'm living in sunny Lytham. Whatever subject you cover will be informative and interesting. I don't know how your going to do better vlogs. I think yours are the best. I bet you were a favourite with the kids at school and made the lessons interesting. A big thank you from Tracey x
Wow! Amazing news - i know I don’t know you personally but I am so pleased for you. It’s great news for all of us followers but better news for you and the huge career turn you are taking for your health and well-being. I am with you all the way!! ❤
I’ve seen mostly all your cruising vlogs and I love your attitude and cheekiness, your one of the best cruiser content I watch. Always look forward to your videos.
We have followed you for a few years now as we like your style. This is a really interesting post, as it answers all the questions we say to the tv when watching your posts. Being a similar vintage and experience in my occupation I can see where you are coming from. Go for it. Life is not a dress rehearsal. If the Greenland cruise is the one at the end of July 2024 we'll see you there as we have booked that one too! Gotta love the Princess £1 deposit offer on the Kings Coronation day!
Congratulations on your news, more travel sounds great. Wishing you all the best. We love watching your videos, thank you. I held my breath to see what you would say about people coming up to you and recognising you, as I was one of them with my family in Norway on Iona in May. I was worried you would say we were annoying 😂! Thankfully you don't mind and are very kind to your fans. We made it into your video again, I see! Thanks for all you do and happy cruising and adventures.
Oh WOW Jamie! How exciting yet scary, I am so happy you are chasing your dreams, I for one will still be watching and getting all of your helpful tips and trick :)
Hiya Jamie, may I wish you all the very best for what will no doubt be a brilliant future after your life changes! You very kindly gave me advice when I started my channel last September which was very generous of you to take time to do & I don't forget. I'm on 411 subscribers now, small I know, but I'm getting there & enjoying the journey. I now appreciate all the hard work that goes into putting the vlogs together!!! We're off tomorrow for a Greek Islands cruise, camera in hand ofcourse 😁 ... Good luck Jamie, all the best to Matthew & keep up the great vlogging... Top Man👍😎
We enjoy all your vlogs. Your regular day job is so important and teachers don't get enough support. You need to do what is important for you and your health. Keep vlogging. Look forward to the next one xx
Great vlogs as usual and great news that you are taking time for yourself and your health , good luck on your onwards travels and i look forward to seeing them . x
Looking forward to it. only came across you after searching for Iona vlogs, and loved your style. now follow for fun, and ideas while I count down the days to my holiday. Good Luck, you will be great.
Love your vlogs they are always interesting , well balanced and very informative. Looking forward to more in the future. Good luck with your new venture.
Great news Jamie. Looking forward to seeing more Travel blog Jamie! My wife left primary teaching after 6 years. If we left it longer, I think I would have been a widower, it’s that stressful.
Your videos are the ones I trust when it comes to cruises! I’ve taken a step back from teaching also this year including leadership responsibilities so I know how you feel in some ways. Good for you for putting you first ❤ xx
Didn't know you were a teacher! Watched so many of your vlogs too. Thought your pronunciation of some of the dishes was very good! Love the fact that you are honest about the service and standards etc..... do what you feel is good for you and enjoy it, good luck
Wow amazing. Jamie this is why you have become our favourite Vlogger. My wife has sent you a separate comment to add as to why we further respect you more than other vloggers. For my part, I've always been impressed by your warmth, openness, and humour. Keep up the good work, and as always, say hello to Mafoo 😊
Thank you Jesus !! I thought you were going to announce that you wouldn’t be vlogging anymore phew. Seriously though you inspired me to book my first ever cruise on Arvia and you and Maffoo are hilarious . Hoping to be fortunate to travel with you in the future and say hello. Congratulations Jamie🎉
I’ve only just seen this. Well done on taking that step forward. I can imagine your student as will be mortified that you are taking a back step but doing something like this will inspire young people to follow their dreams. Well done and you certainly will make a huge success of the future.
I have been watching you videos since we booked our cruise with p&o iona , I want to say I love how talk on your video. Thank you, it is very informative
Wow, thats absolutely crazy! I've been a secondary school teacher for 22 years and this year decided to quit and do supply for a better quality of life, have more time for my family and travelling. I have 2 weeks and 2 days left....not that I'm counting 😂. I'm also looking into copywriting so that I can gradually quit altogether. Nervous but excited at the thought of a new venture. Have only just discovered your channel and insta, was looking for info on the Arvia which I've booked for next year, and I'm hooked already, love your enthusiasm, your humour and your honest reviews, winning combination! Good luck to you Jamie, exciting times ahead ❤ x
Well done you Jamie. Teachers are the unsung hero’s that never get the praise they deserve. I love your Vlogs, best out there. You’ve done your bit, time for you and Mafoo now. The only fly in the ointment is that I find out your from Devon!!!! I can forgive you this as long as you are jam first!!!! Sending you both West Country love from Cornwall. XXXX😊
So pleased your going to be doing more vlogging, can’t wait to see all your upcoming adventures especially the North America as this is something I would love to do in the future. Keep the videos coming 😊
Good on you Jamie and good luck! I always think eastern med and Asia aren’t well covered so might be something to look at. Also like to see more on ports and DIY port excursions as opposed to official ones.
How absolutely exciting, good luck for this next stage, it will be a great adventure! I hope that any health issues are resolved speedily🙏🏻I was at Uni of Bradford Management School 84-88, such a fabulous place to study and play! Truly, best of luck for the future xx
Hi Jamie, We go on our first cruise in September and another in February so naturally cottoned on to your YT,s on P&O and find them very informative the reason we never went cruising was we liked to saturate ourselves in the places we visited ,but life is ever changing unlike you I started in photography 50s but moved to engineering ,but have always had a passion for art and photography which gets me to the point .My brother in law told me many moons age ,he used a camcorder on holiday but didn’t see the holiday only through the eyepiece ,you can’t photograph the ambiance of the places .Your obviously enjoying life like us . All the best Stuart and Elizabeth
Hi to you both and thanks for stopping by! I think it’s absolutely possible to experience these destinations fully even if your are also filming / taking pics - contrary to popular belief I am not constantly in my phone 😂 take care and enjoy your travels ❤️
Exciting news, good for you - life is short, need to grab it by the balls 😊 love your vlogs and look forward to many more 🎉🎉 wishing you and maffoo all the very best ❤ 🚢 x
Ooh, Jamie, I am now so excited having heard your future plans. I am booked on Ambience for a Xmas markets cruise in December. Too much to hope this is the same one but will certainly look out for you, in hope (now, does that sound a little stalkerish?). Panic not, I am not a shoulder tapper or anything - might just give a cheeky wave or wink 😉. One of my granddaughters was a teacher and I know how much work she put into it. Unfortunately, it became just a bit overwhelming for her and gave it up to now study for a degree in psychology (she is also expecting her first baby in November, just to make life extra complicated!). Cheers for now.
Congratulations Jamie! I’m a new follower and love your blogs, the perfect amount of footage in each from food reviews to excursions! 10/10! I’m off on my first cruise this month with celebrity. Thank you for your inspiration! Hope to spot you both on a cruise one day! Keep following your dream life, it’s admirable! Best wishes, Poppy, Jersey Channel Islands :)
Love your vlogs. I first found you when I was looking for a British vloggers review on Queen Victoria. I think you were the only one at the time. I found it very helpful, and I sail on her in November. I have noticed how your confidence has grown with each cruise I am sorry to hear of your bullying, and I'm rather shocked, too. Don't let them get to you. Just do your own thing. It is certainly paying off. Best wishes for your change of direction.x
i love Ben and David and Gary Bembridge and one couples adventure but most of all i love travel blog Jamie and Maffoo too..After a ho.rrible year when i lost my beloved mum and shortly after my ex husband my loveley daughter s father.watching your blogs has inspired me to look at a cruise holiday.I look forward to seeing all your travels on different ships.Thankyou Jamie and Maffoo.
I've been following for a while now and love your content. You inspired me to take my first P&O cruise and like I said I was pleasantly surprised. I'd say to other readers like me who only cruise with one line to try various cruise lines before deciding on a favourite we were too quick to jump into Royal but I can see many advantages to selecting a line on basis of ship, price and destination alone. I'm excited to see all your cruising vlogs and hope despite the summer in Disney that cruise vlogging remains your main output just purely from a selfish stand point as it's the reason why I watch you. Although Disney content is very popular so good luck with that.
Good luck Jamie! It’s obvious from the way that you talk and what you have done, that you are a very clever man. You are going to succeed in everything you do. Travel is one of the great joys in life and I don’t think you will regret the change you are about to make. All the very best to you and I will keep watching 👍
Haha… you are more than welcome. I really enjoy your Vlogs, and after having done 3 cruises with Norwegian, I have just booked my first MSC cruise on the Euribia. It’s my first trip away since Covid so I’m really looking forward to it.😊
well done jamie.we spotted you on iona 27th may..we were actually at the bar behind you when you were filming in the top deck pool.we spotted ourselves when we watched your vlog when we arrived home..have a fantastic future all the best..your iona vlog actually persuaded us to book arvia next feb , barbados.all the best for the future
Hi Jamie, I have been following you on you tube for sometime now, but have never left a comment, what a great video, I sincerely hope that you enjoy the huge step you are about to take, so well deserved after 25 years in teaching, I consider all teachers to be super human! I have only ever done small ship cruising and river cruising myself, I don’t think the big ships are for me, but never say never. I wish you and Matthew all the very best and look forward to you upcoming adventures
Exciting news, Jamie! I love watching all your videos and they make me smile every time. You do an amazing job and I wish you the best on all your future adventures! 🎉🛳️
A really interesting video Jamie. My wife is a teacher assistant, and since she started this career, I have much more respect for teachers and school staff in general. I love watching your vlogs, and its given us some great ideas for our own cruises! We are on Iona in 3 weeks and your vids have been really helpful, so thank you!
@@TravelBlogJamie thank you. It’s the first one since our honeymoon and we can’t wait to get back on the ocean. I’m already looking at booking our next!
Wow! So pleased great things are afoot for you. You keep demonstrating what can be achieved with much hard work and dedication. So glad to be along for the ride with you. What a guy!
Good luck Jamie we love watching your vlogs. We’re on msc end of September to cork so we’re hoping that’s the one your on Enjoy all your cruises and keep the vlogs coming x
Great News! Will be lovely to see more of you and of course, Maffoo. So glad you're able to make everything work. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming cruises, exciting times🎉 x
Hi Jamie, the Brewer family from Derbyshire here. We all love your videos and Maffoo is a cult hero in our house 😂. I have booked us on a Fjords cruise next August (Iona) ...kids are excited, but the first thing they said was 'will we see Jamie and Maffoo😂...in time I'll explain that you can't be on every cruise! Keep the content going, we really appreciate the advice and honesty with your ratings 👍😀
Hi Jamie, I’m a new follower and new cruiser. In fact not actually cruising until September ‘24. I’d love a video on how to find deals and book cruises to maximise any benefits that may be on offer. Good luck with reduced teaching and more vlogging 🎉
Hi Jamie, I can't wait for your future endeavours, so exciting for you but, also scary I would imagine. Your students are going miss you so much but, it's your decision and time to look to the future. All the best to you, and I look forward to all your vlogs. Best wishes to you both xx
Well done Jamie, your students loss is our gain. I find you the most responsive vlogger of all. Always ready to reply and give information. Thank you Good luck and on to Patreon.
Thanks to you we have booked our first cruise . p&o Iona next September for 2 weeks. Absolutely love you and your husbands trips. He is such a sweetheart. Your job / career whilst being important has been the back bone of your life for so long . Teaching ( like Nursing-thats me) has changed so much over the years and getting older I know I need less stress. Why not do something that makes you happy / gives you joy and will pay well. Unfortunately there are some very petty single minded prats out there that feel happy thinking they are making someone else’s life a misery by being nasty when in fact its their jealousy shining through. Good luck with your last few weeks at school and I look forward to reading and watching more of your adventures x
Good for you Jaimie, I wish you all the luck in the world, I love your videos and had many helpful hints and tips from you, I wish you lots of happiness and safe travels, and look forward to seeing a lot more on you on UA-cam xx
I’m doing similar, cutting back to 2 days a week from September. Sometimes you need to shake your life up and get out there and live it! But I only have 4 cruises lined up : I obviously need to try harder. 😂 I chatted to you once on Iona and you were so friendly. Thank you for that and wishing you lots of luck and happiness in the future.
I’m so happy for you! Recommended your channel to another educator today who is tempted by a cruise!!!! She is going to check you out!!! Much love JJ! x
I’m finally ready to tell everyone what big change I’ve made and how this will impact on my life. I’d love to know what you think below. ❤
Good news, Jamie. I would have never found your page if we hadn't booked Ventura R252 last January. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you, Jimmy!
Hi Jamie, so pleased to hear that your still investing time to vlog. I've told all my friends and family about your site and all my friends follow you and I've even got my mum watching you. Your the best in the business. I see you studied at my home town of Bradford. I'm glad to say I don't live there now lol. I'm living in sunny Lytham. Whatever subject you cover will be informative and interesting. I don't know how your going to do better vlogs. I think yours are the best. I bet you were a favourite with the kids at school and made the lessons interesting. A big thank you from Tracey x
Oh living in Bradford was a short term thing for me (eg university life). 😂
Love you and thank you so much for all your reviews and your time. Much appreciated.
You are very very welcome 🙏
Good luck Jamie , looking forward to the extra content in the future.
Thank you 🙏
Wow! Amazing news - i know I don’t know you personally but I am so pleased for you. It’s great news for all of us followers but better news for you and the huge career turn you are taking for your health and well-being. I am with you all the way!! ❤
Thank you so much Charlotte
Brilliant Jamie, all the best going forward, hope to see you on board one day
I Hope we do too!

Thank you Maureen
Good luck Jamie! Enjoyed the insight into Vlogging!
Thank you 🙏
We have followed you for a few years now as we like your style. This is a really interesting post, as it answers all the questions we say to the tv when watching your posts. Being a similar vintage and experience in my occupation I can see where you are coming from. Go for it. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

That’ll be the same cruise!
Really looking forward to watching your future vlogs ! Well done Jamie 🎉❤😊
Thanks Pauline
Congratulations on your news, more travel sounds great. Wishing you all the best.
We love watching your videos, thank you.
I held my breath to see what you would say about people coming up to you and recognising you, as I was one of them with my family in Norway on Iona in May. I was worried you would say we were annoying 😂! Thankfully you don't mind and are very kind to your fans. We made it into your video again, I see! Thanks for all you do and happy cruising and adventures.
Haha! No I don’t mind at all! It was really surprising to start but I got used to it soon enough. It was lovely to meet you and the family ♥️
Good for you man, hope it works out. Really enjoyed your cruise reviews so far.
Thank you Paul
Amazing news Jamie! I would say goodluck but you don’t need it 🎉 cannot wait to see more Vlogs and adventures from you xxx

A bit scary, yes! But got to take the risk!
Hiya Jamie, may I wish you all the very best for what will no doubt be a brilliant future after your life changes!

Great news Jamie. Looking forward to seeing more Travel blog Jamie!
My wife left primary teaching after 6 years. If we left it longer, I think I would have been a widower, it’s that stressful.
Oh I’m so pleased she made that decision ♥️♥️♥️
Whatever it is I hope it makes you happy that’s is what is important.
Agreed 👍
Your videos are the ones I trust when it comes to cruises! I’ve taken a step back from teaching also this year including leadership responsibilities so I know how you feel in some ways. Good for you for putting you first ❤ xx
Thank you so much 😊 I hope the change also works for you!
Hi Jamie, congratulations on the new life direction! I’m looking forward to seeing where it takes you x.

Sounds like you get the best of both worlds. Good luck for the future 🎉🎉

Great news. We just love your vlogs!
Yaaaay! Thank you 🙏
Good on you Jamie and good luck! I always think eastern med and Asia aren’t well covered so might be something to look at. Also like to see more on ports and DIY port excursions as opposed to official ones.
Yes I agree - tried focusing more on ports / diy excursions more recently and doing the same on my next cruise 🚢 Thank you 🙏
How absolutely exciting, good luck for this next stage, it will be a great adventure! I hope that any health issues are resolved speedily🙏🏻I was at Uni of Bradford Management School 84-88, such a fabulous place to study and play! Truly, best of luck for the future xx
A greeeeat place to study ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jamie,
We go on our first cruise in September and another in February so naturally cottoned on to your YT,s on P&O and find them very informative the reason we never went cruising was we liked to saturate ourselves in the places we visited ,but life is ever changing unlike you I started in photography 50s but moved to engineering ,but have always had a passion for art and photography which gets me to the point .My brother in law told me many moons age ,he used a camcorder on holiday but didn’t see the holiday only through the eyepiece ,you can’t photograph the ambiance of the places .Your obviously enjoying life like us .

Hi to you both and thanks for stopping by! I think it’s absolutely possible to experience these destinations fully even if your are also filming / taking pics - contrary to popular belief I am not constantly in my phone 😂 take care and enjoy your travels ❤️
@@TravelBlogJamie sorry I didn’t mean stop videoing just don’t let it take over our holidays
@@Ilkleyscot no I didn’t take it like that at all! I certainly don’t let videoing take over my hols that’s for sure
Well we'd never thought of how convenient Basingstoke was - genius! Enjoy the new work/life balance!
It has some benefits lol
Love your vlogs. Good luck with all your coming ventures.
Julia thank you so much 😊
Exciting news, good for you - life is short, need to grab it by the balls 😊 love your vlogs and look forward to many more 🎉🎉 wishing you and maffoo all the very best ❤ 🚢 x

Amazing 🤩 but also so pleased you'll still be teaching !
A little bit 😉

Legend. We loved IONA and your Vlogs helped a lot. Next cruise on Arvia next year.
Have a great time
Hi Jamie, I have been following you on you tube for sometime now, but have never left a comment, what a great video, I sincerely hope that you enjoy the huge step you are about to take, so well deserved after 25 years in teaching, I consider all teachers to be super human! I have only ever done small ship cruising and river cruising myself, I don’t think the big ships are for me, but never say never. I wish you and Matthew all the very best and look forward to you upcoming adventures
Oh I’m so glad you have said hi! Thank you for your support
Exciting news, Jamie! I love watching all your videos and they make me smile every time. You do an amazing job and I wish you the best on all your future adventures! 🎉🛳️
Thank you so much 😊
A really interesting video Jamie. My wife is a teacher assistant, and since she started this career, I have much more respect for teachers and school staff in general. I love watching your vlogs, and its given us some great ideas for our own cruises! We are on Iona in 3 weeks and your vids have been really helpful, so thank you!
Oh I hope you really enjoy your cruise!
@@TravelBlogJamie thank you. It’s the first one since our honeymoon and we can’t wait to get back on the ocean. I’m already looking at booking our next!
Wow! So pleased great things are afoot for you. You keep demonstrating what can be achieved with much hard work and dedication. So glad to be along for the ride with you. What a guy!
Yay 😁 thanks for being here
Looking forward to future blogs. Always take on board your comments..Find your hotel information really useful..❤

Great News! Will be lovely to see more of you and of course, Maffoo. So glad you're able to make everything work. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming cruises, exciting times🎉 x
Thanks Claire ❤️
Hi Jamie, the Brewer family from Derbyshire here. We all love your videos and Maffoo is a cult hero in our house 😂. I have booked us on a Fjords cruise next August (Iona) ...kids are excited, but the first thing they said was 'will we see Jamie and Maffoo😂...in time I'll explain that you can't be on every cruise! Keep the content going, we really appreciate the advice and honesty with your ratings 👍😀
😂😂😂 I will let Maffoo know! 😂😂😂 We won’t be kn that cruise, you are correct, but we will be there in spirit ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jamie, I’m a new follower and new cruiser. In fact not actually cruising until September ‘24. I’d love a video on how to find deals and book cruises to maximise any benefits that may be on offer. Good luck with reduced teaching and more vlogging 🎉
Thanks for this feedback!!
Hi Jamie, I can't wait for your future endeavours, so exciting for you but, also scary I would imagine. Your students are going miss you so much but, it's your decision and time to look to the future. All the best to you, and I look forward to all your vlogs. Best wishes to you both xx
Thank you, appreciate that
How exciting!! Wishing you so much luck and success with it all. Xx
Thank you Laura
Thank you Laura
Best of luck, Jamie!
Your vlogs are awesome & enticed us into booking our first cruise.
Awesome 😎 😂
Well done Jamie, your students loss is our gain.
I find you the most responsive vlogger of all. Always ready to reply and give information. Thank you
Good luck and on to Patreon.
Thank you - really kind of you
That’s great news, Jamie. Congratulations! 🎉 I hope it all goes well.
Thanks Claire 🙏
Thanks to you we have booked our first cruise . p&o Iona next September for 2 weeks. Absolutely love you and your husbands trips. He is such a sweetheart. Your job / career whilst being important has been the back bone of your life for so long . Teaching ( like Nursing-thats me) has changed so much over the years and getting older I know I need less stress. Why not do something that makes you happy / gives you joy and will pay well.
Unfortunately there are some very petty single minded prats out there that feel happy thinking they are making someone else’s life a misery by being nasty when in fact its their jealousy shining through. Good luck with your last few weeks at school and I look forward to reading and watching more of your adventures x
Thank you so much for this lovely lovely comments - very touched ❤️
Good luck with your new career direction.🎉🎉
Thank you 🙏
Good for you Jaimie, I wish you all the luck in the world, I love your videos and had many helpful hints and tips from you, I wish you lots of happiness and safe travels, and look forward to seeing a lot more on you on UA-cam xx
Thank you so much 😊
I’m doing similar, cutting back to 2 days a week from September. Sometimes you need to shake your life up and get out there and live it! But I only have 4 cruises lined up : I obviously need to try harder. 😂
I chatted to you once on Iona and you were so friendly. Thank you for that and wishing you lots of luck and happiness in the future.
Thank you, and you too ❤️
Good luck to you Jamie I wish you all the best 🎉
Just keep being Jamie
Thank you soooo much
I’m so happy for you! Recommended your channel to another educator today who is tempted by a cruise!!!! She is going to check you out!!! Much love JJ! x
Thank you always ZZ x
