Incredible insight into the beating heart of an amazing ship. Lets face it , it's the top reason any of us go on these ultra-luxury lines... the commitment to quality on the whole dining occasion is second to none , thank you Stuart and Christina for a brilliant video , those tablets with all the recipes on.. genius !! 😍
Great if you get on Grandeur don’t miss the galley tour they do and then you can also ask any questions they have! Michael is a great guy. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼🤗
Very informative and I really enjoyed seeing behind the scenes. Just one small point - maybe Christina should have been holding the camera, as she hardly talked during the tour. Stuart was talking too much while holding the camera, and often ended up talking over the chef (his microphone obviously closer and louder). The subtitles were definitely needed and appreciated. That would be my only comment though. Really did enjoy the video.
Thanks for your comments ❤️ To be honest we were unprepared, the galley tour was offered last minute and we only decided to film after he agreed to it, so all a bit hit and miss! 😂 Luckily it worked out and we spent all weekend adjusting the subtitles so they were correct. Also it was 15 minutes before start of service so didn’t want to hold him up so let him do all the talking! 😂🤗
It’s a pity you didn’t ask more questions. Would love to know how far do the luxury lines go in making their own ingredients. The chef mentioned that they bought flower do they are not milling their own wheat, but pasta for instance, do they buy the dried ones or make the pasta every day fresh. Ground meat, do they buy purchase that or make their own. Crushed tomatoes for pasta sauce make it or buy it? Etc.
Very last minute and on an extremely tight schedule as service was due to begin in 15 minutes so let him do all the talking! It was also a last minute offer for us to do the tour and we weren’t going to film until he agreed at the last minute, so it was all a bit of a ‘grab the camera and improvise’, luckily it worked out ok. 👌
Hi guys. We've just come back from msc yacht club. Worked out £200 per person per day. Inside cabin which was obviously not ideal. Seabourn heavily advertising at the moment works out @470 pp per day. Do you reckon it's worth the extra dough? I know you haven't done yacht club yet, but you will be able to shed some light on this I'm sure. My wife and I really do look forward to your videos, thank you
@@Turn12335 Heard great things about MSC yacht club. Seabourn is wonderful, yes more expensive, but smaller ships and more select. Dining and drinks excellent, entertainment options also excellent, suites beautiful. Oh and if you like caviar it’s on tap 24 hours a day! Can’t compare as we haven’t been on yacht club, but we do like Seabourn! Also Explora Journeys and Regent are excellent. Thanks for watching ❤️🥂
@theposhtravelblog thank you so much for taking the time to answer. The trouble with yacht club, is that it's so small. Yes, MSC virtuosa is huge, but the YC lounge area is titchy. YC Top deck more spacious. Even the staff (who work exclusively in YC), don't like the rest of the ship. Beauty of your recommendations, is that no matter where you are on board, everything is 5 star. We went with in laws who had the last balcony cabin. It cost them @£260 PP per day. The difference between a crap inside, and a spacious balcony is like night and day. I think the inside cabin skewed my overall memory of yacht club. If I'd managed to pay for a balcony, I'd probably not even think about a £470 a night Seabourn. It just left me a little disappointed. But I know, you two would like YC. Maybe one day you'll try it!
@@philiphart6688 You’re the first to mention this. It was difficult as it was an impromptu visit to the galley, have done our best and also added subtitles to make it easier to understand..
@@theposhtravelblog Let me just say that I love the super production quality of all your other content, so that's probably why this seemed a bit off. However I do take your point that this was impromptu, and that the footage and sound was a matter of "needs must". Please keep up the great work.
Fascinating! What an impressive operation and attention to detail. Thank you for showing us this
Loved the kitchen tour with the head chef. The Grandeur’s kitchen is immaculately clean

Goodness, what a great opportunity to see behind the scenes…we have compass rose dinner envy. Only 162 days until our next Regent adventure.
This was amazing! Thank you so much for your videos. You are both so polite and kind. GOD bless from Texas❤
Thanks for the lovely comments ❤️
Thank you for taking the time to share this. We enjoy your body of work. We hope to be on the Grandeur in May 2026.

Speechless,.. thank-you! 🇿🇦
What a brilliant video, so interesting to see behind the scenes. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it 🥂
Sooooo cool. I’m boarding a few days after Christmas and hoping those gingerbread houses are still around. As usual-great video!
That was so exciting how lucky you where to see that amazing kitchen and chef was so passionate.
I hope the beef Wellington was wonderful.
It was amazing as was the lobster!🦞 🤩🥂
Your best video! Showing what most people never get to see. It will be a whole new perspective when we sail on Grandeur next year.
Lovely, Grandeur is beautiful. They do the galley tour for everyone on one of the days so you can experience it for yourselves 🤗❤️

I'm surprised the chef didn't make you wash your hands before going into the kitchen. That's standard practice on the Seabourn galley tour.
We did, I had to edit it out as the camera had to be put down. 👍🏼
Sorry guys, but the sound is not the best :-( Any chance of re-editing?

@@philiphart6688 Thanks Philip, I cringed a bit when I heard the sound quality so used subtitles to help! Thanks for your comments and for watching 🙏🏼
