The ship looks amazing, touch of luxury. Thanks for your great vlogs this year, we’ve really enjoyed them and appreciate the time & effort you’ve put in to making them. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & safe travels. 🥂👍
@@andyandkirstie Aww, thanks guys. Yours is one of a very very few I’ve got the bell pushed for new video confirmations. Hope you enjoy our Christmas chat and don’t forget to enter the contest! 🥳😀
Hi andy another great vlog lovely ship the company has bought another ship in leith so there will soon be two of them, the blackpudding could be stornoway blackpudding it is very popular in scotland and far better quality, steak looked good as well aberdeen angus best there is anyway enjoyed the vlog on a sunday morning will look forward to the next one well done.
Hello you two, wanted to Thankyou for taking time out to send us a card. It is very much appreciated and was a lovely surprise arranged by our daughter and yourselves. A very Happy Christmas to you both and hope to meet up on a cruise in person perhaps next year in the Eastern Med in September. Keep the blogs coming they are great entertainment. At first glimpse I thought it was the Royal yacht Britannia you were visiting so it was great to see the accommodation on this one.
Absolutely love Scotland. My favourite city is Edinburgh.. I used to live in Dunfermline across the water 💦. As my former husband was in the Royal Navy.. The ship looks amazing and your room was gorgeous.. Another potential break in the near future.. Thanks Andy and Kirsty.. Xx
So nice to see you two again. I wish Americans cruise ships would offer a few British dishes. I have no idea what black pudding is, but I know it’s a popular English dish. I haven’t been to the UK yet to try it myself. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Merry Christmas 🎄
Loved the video. Both well in our 60's, after 18years together we got married at Gretna Hall last November! Lovely hotel and great to see it again. 👍 Keep the videos coming.
I kind of wish I hadn’t seen this-I really want to go stay on that boat now! It looks so cozy. I absolutely love Scotland. 🏴 Unfortunately, I’m in Colorado 😢
Wow! Huge room on board! I love Leith and the Shore. I would love to stay on here. Great tour! Can’t wait to see more from my favorite spot in Edinburgh. Hope you’re having/had a wonderful time.
Thanks for another great video, the ship looks amazing and I know the afternoon teas are wonderful. Hope you enjoyed you short stay in our home city. Have a very merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Thanks for your super vlogs this year. We look forward to watching them In fact the other evening my wife says pour me a drink and put Andy and Kirstie on Success id say Merry Christmas
Always look forward to your new videos...Just watched 2015 gopro4 vid... How things have changed ... From holiday snaps to professional videos...great job , and a good excuse to buy better gear.. Keep putting the trip out there.. You two are great... merry christmas from OZ..
Yeah, I had no clue how to film and edit a video back then and was really pleased with the result, which is why I carried on! Good to know you enjoy watching! Merry Christmas!
Surprised you didn’t mention Fingal’s history of servicing the navigational aids from around Scotland. I remember seeing her sailing around the Western Isles. A very graceful vessel in her day.
QUESTIONS : on the Fingal, you don't say if you were in a Standard Room or Luxury room. I'm thinking of booking for my mum's birthday so just need a better idea. Also these rooms are £400 a night so presuming you got a free night or heavy discount for promoting them ? Honesty is always a good policy :-)
We stayed in a luxury cabin. We've never been given any concessions, discounts or freebies on any of our trips EVER. Everything is bought and paid for at the normal advertised price by us. If only we did! Maybe one day.
@@andyandkirstie thanks for the reply that helps a great deal. I've booked two Luxury cabins for my mum and myself for her birthday in May. Looking forward to it. Thanks so much for making this video and others. I will mention to them that you should get a heavy discount next time you go :-)
You are a lovely couple and you deserved that great break... Your video reporting makes me want to visit..
When Kirstie sticks her hair behind her ears before she gets mucked into the grub, you know there is only going to be one winner.
The ship looks amazing, touch of luxury. Thanks for your great vlogs this year, we’ve really enjoyed them and appreciate the time & effort you’ve put in to making them. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & safe travels. 🥂👍
Good to hear you enjoyed the video! Merry Christmas!
I used to party on that ship ,in the 90,s ,
A change from a moving cruise ship! Looks like you both are enjoying every moment nevertheless. Great!😍
Yeah we had a lovely few days!
Absolutely loved our stay in/at/on Fingal. Will watch this in full later with a glass of something Scottish, eating Christmassy snacks. 😍
Hope you enjoy it! Just about to watch your 'chat with us' Christmas special!

You might know it as blood pudding maybe? It's not horrible like it sounds!

I mention it in the second video, out tonight!
She was based in Oban for years
Enjoy the rest of your stay in edinburgh
You're in good company too.
The Queen was one of the first visitors to the restaurant on bord.
Cool! Wish we'd known that before our visit. We'd have asked the crew about it.
very nice video, what type of room did you have?
Forgot what they called it, it was a larger cabin. Very nice!
how much do they pay you for advertising such a beauty?)

@@andyandkirstie thanks for the reply that helps a great deal. I've booked two Luxury cabins for my mum and myself for her birthday in May. Looking forward to it.

Great Vlog Did You Not Have Any Whisky At All Merry Xmas To You Both Take Care And Be safe
Thanks! We're not really whisky drinkers, so we didn't have any this time around. Glad you're enjoying the videos 😁👍
You have to be young to be able to eat fish & chips and a bowl of crumble in one meal !! Just couldn’t manage it now 😭
The ship does not move?
No, the ship was decommissioned in 2000 and is now fixed in place. She's in the water, but not floating.
Great video, Ive just subscribed to your channel
Did anybody ever tell you that you look like
Vladimir Putin brother
Thanks! No, not had that one before! 😅
Do thay have a bar and entertainment at night
There's a small bar in the restaurant, so you can just have drinks there. No entertainment though.
