Also our first night on board and our visit to Green and co the Vegan restaurant .
Also it shows our first sea day and a look around the ship , and our first meal in the main dining room .

Hi Pete , thank you mate that’s very kind , glad that you enjoyed them . Thanks so much for your kind comment. 👋
Yeay, Pearl and Brian are back!!!!! I think I speak for all your followers, welcome back and finally!! Had to watch this over 2 days as I'm a lightweight, but thoroughly enjoyed your vids, as usual. The 'it's my time to moan' was hilarious. great content, and it looks like a good cruise so far. Waiting for the next installmenet😘😘
Hi Glenda , thank you that is so kind , and welcome back to you as well, we look forward to reading your comments. Don’t like to moan but sometimes well you just have to let it out 😂. We did enjoy it , a bit busy on a sea day but we saw some beautiful places. Thanks as always for watching. Take care XX
Welcome back we just docked this morning Iona missed watching your video
@@carolefletcher3717 Hi Carole , welcome back to you as well, hoping you had a fantastic time on Iona . Hopefully the weather was nice . We had a great time onboard Arvia . Take care .X
Love watching you two, we are a similar age and I am a nervous flyer but Pearl inspires me, keep doing what you do ❤️ happy travels
Hi Linda , thank you for those kind words. Pearl is a bit nervous as well when it comes to flying but I did manage to get her on a helicopter this holiday. Although she did have to take a shot of rum to calm her nerves 😂. Thanks Linda for watching our vlogs and hopefully your nerves won’t stop you going on some amazing holidays.XX❤️
Yay you’re back!! We once went in the wrong cabin, thought we’d been upgraded to a balcony and got very excited 😢😅😅
Hi Sharnie, 😂😂 easily done I blame TUI for plying us with all that alcohol on the flight . I can just imagine how excited you were 😂. Thanks for watching and great to hear from you .X
It is so good to see you both! Hope you have been well. So far it looks like you are having a good time, and everything looks good on this cruise. Tell Pearl that blue dress looks great on her. Did she get some new shoes? I know she lost a pair on the last cruise because of the rain. I enjoy seeing your home when you start your video. Hope your weather has been good. Our's has been up and down. Right now it is in the 60s. My family is well, hope your's is as well. Looking forward to seeing the next installment!
Hi Rene , great to hear from you it’s been a while. Hope you and all your family are well .Cruise was great thank you , first time in the Caribbean for us .Pearl loved the fact that you liked her dress , and no she didn’t manage to find any other shoes .It was lovely weather in the Caribbean and a bit of a shock when we landed back in the UK it was cold and frosty. Today it has rained all day . Thanks Rene for continuing to support our channel it means a lot . Take care look forward to hearing from you soon .X
😊 Enjoyed watching your antics! Always make me smile. Pearl looked lovely in her blue dress. Look forward to the next few days on board. Xxx
Hi Lorna , thank you very much . Glad you enjoyed the first of quite a few episodes I’m afraid 😩. It’s so beautiful out there it’s hard to put the camera down. XXX❤️
Know 9440 well So pleased Angela is your steward. She is absolutely fantastic
Hi Jocelyn , Angela was great always had time for a little chat even when we could see she was busy . We filmed her and one of the other stewards together in a future episode. All work very hard . Thank you for watching 👋
Yay you’re back! 😊 Fantastic vlog as usual full of great content and wit, love your banter, loved Pearl’s blue dress may I ask where she got it from? thanks, Looking forward to the next episode 🚢
Hi Denise , awe thank you that’s great to hear . I’m pretty hopeless so I’m hedging my bets . I know the blue dress she has on in the thumbnail is a Next one . Also the one she wore on our first sea day evening is one she got quite a while ago . It’s Star by Julien Macdonald . Hope this helps and thank you as always.Xx
Thank you 😊
Great video! I laughed so hard I nearly spat my tea out when you told the dolphin story. Looking forward to the rest.
Hi Stecee, thank you . Trust Pearl to get it all wrong . She was talking to the lady but trying to earwig what I was talking about .😂 . Thank you for watching and hopefully you will enjoy the rest of them .👋
Oh how we loved this!! The wrong cabin was hilarious……. The story about the little toe was so funny, these pesky dolphins 🐬
Hi Guys, yeah not the best start to a cruise going in the wrong room 😩. Only Pearl could possibly come up with the dolphin story.😂
Loved it! You both have such a positive positive attitude and great sense of humour. Looking forward to the next one! xx
Hi Sara , great to hear from you , hope you are well . Thanks for those comments, really glad that you enjoyed the first one . Thank you again for your always positive and supportive feedback.XX
Oh what a brilliant vlog 😅
One of my favourites 😍. I hadnt realised you had to go on the Dartford bridge as ive been randomly watching all of your vlogs and trying to catch up lol 😅. For our sins we are from Dartford 😮. Lol.... i find myself laughing out loud while watching your vlogs ...its my turn to whinge 😅😅😅😅. Your right on the money Brian with chair dragging . James always reminds me to be quiet also at night when walking back to your room ,the amount of people that shout and bang there doors at night when others are trying to sleep 😴 anyway thats my whingeing over 😅😅. Dolphin story was classic so funny 😁 us dizzy blonds 👱♀️ have to stick together dont we Pearl 😊. Take care both of you ❤
Good Morning Amanda, hope you are well. Yes we usually do a bit of filming as we go over the bridge. It’s become a bit of a tradition now .
We don’t normally whinge that often but sometimes you just have to say it 🤬 . It’s really not difficult to pick your chair or table up instead of dragging it 😡. We agree totally with James about being quiet as you go back to your cabin after an evening out .Blimey I’m doing a lot of whinging here 😂 proper old fart 😂. We still laugh now about the dolphin story , now that was Pearl at her Dizziest. 🥴 Thanks as always Amanda, your a star 🌟 watching those old vlogs we are very grateful. We are off on another adventure in a few days so will be vlogging that as well. Have a great weekend hope the Sun stays out Xx❤️👋👋
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Have a lovely time both of you 😘 which I know you will . Look forward to new vlogs while watching old ones lol 😆. Take care from miserable Dartford lol 😆 😄 😉 ❤️😍
Im going on her in October cant wait
Hi Julia , I bet you can’t wait we had a great time. I’m sure you will enjoy the ship . Thanks very much for watching.👋
Absolutely great video guys (as always) looking forward to the next ❤
Hi Julie , thank you very much . Hope you are well and enjoying all your fun trips you are having, it looks great . Nice to hear from you take care.XX
Lovely to see what you’re up to next. We’re with you on the furniture dragging 😂.
Hi Guys hope you are well , we did find the dragging of furniture a pain . Just as you are dozing Off 😂 . Ooh the things we have to worry about 😂😂. Great to hear from you and thanks for watching.
lovely to see your new adventure!! Arvia looks epic, we have booked with our daughter to go back on Iona in September to Norway again! So excited! It will be her first cruise! She is excited as she has her own room for the first time as she is now 18 🙂
Hi Senseicads , always good to hear from you . Arvia certainly was epic and we had a great time . In fact Arvia is just a slightly bigger version of Iona . So you’re going back to Norway, how nice .What a great place to take your daughter for her first cruise. I’m pretty sure you’re all going to have a fantastic time . Thank you again for watching and commenting X
Yea your back and how welcome you are you both make me smile every time 😊
Hi Sandra , thank you very much glad you enjoyed it . It’s great to hear that we make you smile , it really makes us happy. Thanks again for watching and hopefully you will enjoy the rest of them .xx
Fabulous video, loved watching this. Informative and entertaining. 👏🤩
Thanks Guys , appreciate it have a good weekend 🥂👋
Was only saying to the wife earlier can't wait till you're back and Boom here you are!! Favourite travel vloggers on UA-cam by a mile. Can't wait to see all Brian's new boss gear 😂.
Hi Bob awe thanks mate that is so nice and lovely to read . Now the Boss stuff did make an appearance but it was mostly stuff seen before. Promise to go shopping before the next one . Thanks again Bob really appreciate it 👋👋
Hi pearl and Brian, thanks for doing this video, you being an older couple like us, it was good that we could relate to you, we are hoping to book a cruise for next year, but my husband wants to go to the med, and I want the Caribbean like what your on, I always think it would be good if you said what time of year you was on the ship, old your husband heard me he just said it’s Feb 19 made me laugh 🤭
Hi Susan , first of all thank you very much for watching. Caribbean or Mediterranean decisions decisions 😀 .It was our first time to the Caribbean and it was great to go in our winter so we could get some sun and warmth. Obviously if it’s our summer then the weather won’t be great in the Caribbean. We are going back next January this time on Britannia. We went on the 17th February to the 2nd March . Hope this helps . 👋👋🥂
Great vlog, thank you, look forward to the rest! X
Hi Sue , thank you very much glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting we do appreciate it . Hopefully you will enjoy the rest of this series. Xx
Great vlogs , so funny , love Caribbean cruises , great filming 😊
Hi Carmel , thank you that’s very kind glad you enjoyed it . This was our first ever visit to the Caribbean , it was great to get away for some warmth in February. I think we could be hooked 😂 . Thanks very much for watching 👋
So good to see you back for your next adventure- loved the vlog as ever lots of laughs 😂
Hi Martin , great to hear from you hope you are well .Glad you enjoyed it we certainly had a great time . Thank you as always it’s really appreciated.👋
Brilliant vlog as always, we are off to caribbean on Saturday, same airport ,plane and ship, so very interesting. ours is bringing the ship back to Southampton, which is great as means only one flight. Pearl and the dolphin !!! you really are our favourite holiday vloggers and I watch a lot of them. Glad Green and Co was good as i've booked them twice.
Hi Melanie , thank you very much for those lovely comments, it really makes us happy that you enjoy our adventures. I can imagine how excited you are for Saturday, I bet you will have a wonderful time . TUI were great , kept plying us with alcohol which was a bonus. We really enjoyed Green and Co and were surprised how quiet it was . Only Pearl could think the postman was attacked by a dolphin 😂. Have a fantastic cruise safe journey and thanks again for those really nice comments.X
Loved this video - thank you for sharing😀
Hi Lynne and Paul , nice to hear from you . Glad you enjoyed the first one . Really appreciate you watching thank you .👋
Good to see you both having a great time.We are on Arvia on Saturday,doing the transatlantic crossing,can't wait to be onboard.
Hi , yeah we did have a great time thank you . How exciting to be doing the transatlantic cruise I bet you’re looking forward to it . Thank you for watching our vlog and taking time to comment. Have a fantastic time on Arvia.👋🚢🥂
Welcome home Pearl & Brian, it’s good to have you back. I must admit Pearl looks very glamorous even at 5am on travel day 😊
How annoying and frustrating are middle lane hoggers, they infuriate us along with the numpties that drag the chairs across the decks! 🙄
It really made us laugh the amount of coat hangers you had, did Pearl manage to use them all 😉🤣
Looking forward to seeing your adventures on Arvia over the coming weeks 😊 watch out for the dolphins 🐬 😂
See you soon xxx
Hi Al , great to hear from you hope you are well. How hard is it to pick your chair up 🤬🤬. I have never been anywhere with so many coat hangers even Pearl couldn’t use them all , she had a good try though. It could only be Pearl who thought that the postman was attacked by a dolphin 😂😂 . We haven’t flown that far for a number of years now , it did drag a bit but the free alcohol certainly helped. Thanks again Al really love to read your lovely comments.
Take care XXXX
you two are so funny.. love your new adventure ..
Daniel and Kate xx
Hi Daniel and Kate , awe thank you so much that is so kind of you . Glad you enjoyed the first one . Thank you very much for watching.
Pearl & Brian xx
thanks for reply.. looking forward to the next one x
Great to see you both back
Hi Lisa , that’s very kind of you thank you . We had a great time and hopefully you will enjoy watching our experience. X
Love to see you enjoying yourself. We went on the same one last year. Looking forward to the next blog. Hopefully meet you at some time. Would love to meet you both 😎Ken & Carole xxx
Hi Ken & Carole , thank you very much for those kind comments that is so kind . We really had a great time and enjoyed the sunshine and the rum 😂 . Hopefully these vlogs will give you some good memories. I’m sure we will bump into each other on a cruise. We did meet a few subscribers on this cruise which was really nice . Thanks again for those comments and for watching.xxx👋👋👋
Looks like there was plenty of room, until on the pool deck...Hot there. We are just having a week of 35c plus🥵🥵...Have fun, well you are home by now... You tell it how it is...good stuff...🤓 Not so silly Pearl ......Dolphins are often perceived as smiling, cute marine creatures that won’t hurt a fly. But like many other large mammals, if they attack they can badly hurt humans....Maybe not on the front yard though...😂
Hi Guys , hope you are ok and surviving those temperatures. Yes it was busy on the ship on sea days . Now there is no way I’m going to tell Pearl that she could have been a little bit correct about the dolphin story. I’m keeping that under my hat . Great to hear from you , stay cool 👋👋
Just come across your channel and love it
We also love to cruise normally on p and o and been cruising for many years
Off on Ventura 2 weeks canaries in 4 weeks
I'm loving you both already x 😊and trying to now watch all the cruise videos and catch up
Hi Molly , welcome we are so glad that you have found our channel. We have just subscribed to yours . We can see that you have done a lot of cruising by all the content 👍 . Thank you very much for watching the first vlog of our Caribbean cruise. Enjoy the Canaries how exciting. Look forward to seeing your vids .XX
Another great vlog guys👍😎
Thank you very much we had a great time 👍
Oi, hang on, 9404 was our cabin! 🤣 Loved first vlog, looking forward to the next one. It's only just over a week since we were onboard but it seems like an eternity. We've already booked up Canary Islands on Iona for next year.
Hi Chris and Paula , 😂😂 how funny well Pearl did visit the Loo . Hopefully someone who was in that cabin will see the video. Really great to meet you both and yes it does seem like an eternity. Great you’ve got the next one sorted I’m sure you will have a great time . Thanks again for watching and we really appreciate the support.👋👋
Hi guys, you’re proper funny
Hi Dominic, that’s very kind thank you. Although not always intentionally 😂. Thanks a lot for watching this vlog .👋
My favourite couple x
Hi Mark , thank you mate that is very kind and really appreciated. Hope you enjoyed the latest vlog . Thanks for the lovely comment and for watching.👋👋
Nice video thanks we are going on her in April and looking forward to it
Hi Tom , thank you very much , she is a nice ship more or less exactly the same as Iona . Slightly bigger with a few different restaurants. I’m Sure you will enjoy it and have a great time . Thank you for watching it’s appreciated.👋
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 your welcome thanks again
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 your welcome thanks
Loved your video! Being tall, was worried about the seats onboard. Could you tell me what number seats you had please?
Hi Paul , I have looked through all my emails for some information concerning the seat numbers.All I can tell you is that I booked extra leg room seats at a price of £45 per person each way . So a total of £180 . Our flight from Gatwick was on a TUI Dreamliner and our seats were near to the toilets in the middle of the plane . Our plane was changed for the flight home to a Norse flight but we still kept our extra leg room seats ( row 10 ) Hope this helps a bit . Thank you very much for watching. 👋
Arvia looks a lot nicer than the Ventura - good to see! I really wanted to find one of those huge Yorkshire pudding roasts but I guess they're only available on certain ships.. Keep up the great vlogs :)
Hi Guys , thank you very much , yes Arvia was a better experience than Ventura . Food , service . Yorkshire puddings were lovely to be fair. Have still got to watch your Ventura vlog and see what you thought. Congratulations on your happy occasion.🥂👋
Really enjoying your vlogs
Pearl your blue 👗 dress is gorgeous,may I ask where it's from ?
Hi Julie , Pearl said it was a dress brought quite a few years ago for Debenhams . it was a Julien MacDonald dress . Hope this helps , and thank you very much for watching 👋👋
I love watching your content I had a bad experience with TUI so wouldn't fly with them again what happened was there any offered as chicken and rice for dinner and that's it but I'm allergic to chicken so I couldn't anything for 9 hour but I was happily visit Barbados again just not with TUI I did the transatlantic cruise from Barbados to Southampton on Britannia last year
Hi Jackson , sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with TUI . You would have thought they could have offered you an alternative to chicken. It’s a long way to go with no food.Seems like you made up for it doing the transatlantic cruise , hope you enjoyed it and had a great time . Thank you very much for watching this first vlog of this series.👋
Brian .. did you turn Pearl’s mic off half way through that!!? 🤣🤣 Great vlog. Can’t wait to see more. 💚
Hi Mazzaw , what a great idea , maybe should try it for the whole vlog . We did have a few problems with the microphones so whenever you hear my monotone voice over it’s for that reason .😂 Thanks for watching 👍
I’m hoping Pearl has biscuits in the next blog! 😂
Hi Lorna , oh so do I , she didn’t stop going on about it for two weeks 😂😂 . Thanks very much for watching.x
I mean she could have sneaked the packet from the first cabin 😂
@Lorna.R oh yeah we should have sneaked back in the room and done some biscuit pilfering 😂😂
