    ⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
    Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint UA-cam channel.
    Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

    Great video. Little tip for Sindhu, my boyfriend and I were on Iona in April 2024, and we were able to book two weeks before sailing. We decided to do this and paid £10 per person
    (£20 in total) which was taken off our bill as well as a 20% discount when we paid.

    Whoa...red dots, blue dots, white dots...hope i never get color blind!😂The restaurants look Amazing. Surprised about the wait times.
    This ship looks Seriously Incredible!!!
    Definitely lots to do and see especially with great entertainment!!!
    These tips were Totally Excellent!!!
    We Truly Appreciate all this!!!

    Did I mention 40 cent beers and $4 cocktails in Vietnam? For the record a pint is about 12 bucks in Oz so the booze price on your ship ain't horrible.
