This is by far the BEST video I have seen about cruise dining experiences. Your witty voice over, appropriate background music and win-depth reviews were amazing. Because of you, I have decided to finally go on my first ever cruise that will be on Sky Princess. Thank you!
I thought this video was produced by Princess Cruise Line as you opened it up through the fabulous chandeliers in the main atrium. Brilliant photography. Your videos have a wonderful mixture of humor and informative slow paced, never rushed views along with your soothing voice. I never miss a single one.
Wd Huffman Local 135 S/T Thank you for watching. We really appreciate it. Please consider subscribing as our very next video is a grand tour of Sky Princess. 😀👍
Welcome to our little Guide. If you liked it, please give it a thumbs up and please subscribe to our channel as we have lots more beautiful little 4K nuggets of cruising goodness to come. Also, here's the link to the other Sky video - a lovely 4K ship tour - ua-cam.com/video/pcyGlABEwtI/v-deo.html Thank you. 😘
This has been the most entertaining review of any ship, eateries and definitely more informative than others. Love your sense of humour. Had to subscribe.
Wonderful video! It's great to have your honest opinion about the restaurants. Too early to get excited but our cancelled Baltic cruise on the Regal this year means we're rebooked on the same itinerary in 2022 on the Sky Princess.
What an outstanding job you did with this video. So humorous and entertaining. Thank you for the time you took so that others could experience your vacation.
You have such a soothing & lovely voice with great diction. Listening to you help me practice with my listening test preparation of IELTS. Humble request to speak just a bit slow for us.
Thank you for this videos. We are going to the Baltic on the 9th July with my whole family of 12 adults and 1 toddler. We are Planning to book the chef table Lumiere. So everyone are so excited.😊
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Patti. Please consider subscribing as we've got a lot more Princess videos to come in the future. ❤️
I'm back, you never seem to disappoint ! The opening with the music, I thought finally he got hired by a cruise line to bring the guest into the experience. Then I soon realized, nope that's just you.Brilliant editing, photography and your voice alone is what is the creme de le creme. There is always a stillness in your presentation. So well done! THANKYOU! :)
Our advise is to make enquiries about it as soon as you board - then keep your fingers and toes crossed. Just to warn you though, that unless it’s changed, we’re pretty sure that this wouldn’t be included as one of the speciality restaurants on the premier package 😞 Thanks for watching 👍
I tremendously enjoyed your video and commentary. You are delightful and fun and your videography is top notch. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Superb upload, they appear to be getting better each time. Beautiful ship!. Love the opening (drone?) footage in the atrium, very well captured and edited. Yes, I'm a drone geek. Laughed at the content taken at Swirls, the lass looked a tad surprised then followed up with a lovely smile and wave. Moving performance by the Karaoke singer, my tummy feels much better. Great nosh too, even though I'm a hippy plant eater 😂🌱☘🍀. Look forward to your next 👍
Thank you for your feedback, Jonathan. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time. Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel if you haven’t done so already. 👍🙂
You’ll have a brilliant time, I’m sure! Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel if you haven’t done so already. 👍🙂
You really should narrate audio books... your voice is very soothing . And I like the fact that you dont put your face in every shot like some other ego driven cruise sites! Nice job keep it up!
thank you for your kind words William. We are glad you are enjoying the channel and yes, we predominantly like to stay behind the camera but sometimes we'll do some vlogger style videos just to keep the channel varied. :)
Thanks! I’ll be on the new Discovery Princess soon. The chefs dinner is the food highlight of any Princess cruise. Sorry that their is no Galley Tour but hopefully that will start soon. I now have an idea of what restaurants to expect of the Discovery Princess.
Very nice Video, love your dining guides. They are definitely the best dining guides for cruise ships on the internet. Please post more of such similar videos...I am sure everyone absolutely loves them. One quick question - there is a wine bar - Vines on Deck 5, does that serve snacks or Tapas style food. If yes, then how is the food there
I think this is the forth or fifth time I've watched your spectacular Sky Princess Dining Guide. I can't imagine a better quality showpiece than the one you've created here. Very VERY well done sir.... I salute you! We are booked in a mini suite for March of 2022 on Discovery Princess. Fingers are crossed :)
Great video as ever. One thing I will say, I have found the Crown Grills on Princess to be, well, bad, on the Sea it was just about passable, but the rest not so much, however, on the Regal and Royal it was fantastic, yes it is very old school, yes the dishes are heavy, but that is the way I like it. On the aforementioned ships we didn't notice the bar area being a problem, however it seems Princess has taken it to another level on the Sky. One quick thought that I am guessing you will get to at some point, Cunard really needs to look at the cabin set up on the Regal/Royal/Sky and steal it, especially the tech side....Again, great video, look forward to the next one.
@@visitwithus Absolutely, on the Sea Princess it was part of the Horizon, on the Caribbean it was a steakhouse/BBQ place, very strange, on the Royal/Regal/Sky it looks far more upscale, it actually reminds me of the steakhouse on the Zeiderdam.
Just got back from 2 Sky Princess cruises and so wish I'd seen this video before we went - especially after our first one in June. I've learnt even more about the dining experience - you tend to stick with what you know and are happy with. I would love to try the Chef's Table now I've seen what it's like. Excellent video - loved the humour and the photography is fabulous - much better than the shots i took! If somone could explain the Club Class dining that would be fabulous - have a Suite next year and did not know about this.
Thanks Roland. Sorry it’s taken so long to reply. Our next review will either be the QE2 (yes, The actual QE2), more of the Sky or possibly the Celebrity Edge, the Azamara Quest, the Sapphire Princess... oh dear, I’ve just realised I’ve got quite a bit to do! 🤣
Yes I'm hungry again! :-) But a couple of comments: 1. You don't mention Club Class Dining. It really is a slightly different experience from the main dining rooms even though it's in one of them. The extra dishes available are usually fun, and the service staff seems to be selected from the best of the serving staff. Open breakfast, lunch and supper for those in suites and Club Class Mini-suites. 2. In addition to Club Class, those is suites have a breakfast option in one of the premium venues. On Royal it was Sabitinis, and on Emerald it was in Crown Grill. A slightly different menu and oh boy is it quiet in there 3. I assume that the Chef's Table is still not available to book until you actually manage to get on board and make a call to the food service line. We've tried to book it on nearly every Princess cruise we've taken and have yet to succeed. We'll keep trying.
Thanks for watching and your informative comments 👍 You are correct about Chefs Table - make the enquiry as soon as you get on board and if you’re lucky you’ll get an invite 🤞
My third time watching this video! (Apparently, I have no life...) I just love your commentary - you are so good at what you do! Sailing to Alaska on Discovery Princess in 2022 and I'm looking forward to similar dining experiences.
Thanks for the video... very interesting to look at! I hope to go on it soon. By the way, the reason they say they have the 'best pizza at sea' is because of surveys people have taken which gave them top billing. Doesn't make it more or less true, but that's the reason for it! :) Thanks again!
Thanks Rhonda for taking the time to comment. Yes, I’m all]ways a bit cynical when cruise line’s claim something is ‘the best at sea’. I guess I’m just a pedant. 😆
A great guide to Princess's dining options, thanks. We hope to try this ship soon but have never travelled with Princess yet! Is the breakfast muffin at the coffee place included? It looked very tempting & a quiet spot.
What a great review. Thank you for taking the time to be both funny and comprehensive. Was not going to do Chef's Table on our next cruise in March but now I will!
We've cruised many lines and Princess definitely lead the pack when it comes to food. Mom and Dad cruised a lot but I took her on here first balcony cruise. She was hooked and loved breakfast on the balcony.
Fingers crossed cruising starts up again soon! Great video. Love your soothing voice. I didn’t know you could enjoy tea time in the sanctuary 🫖 Thank you for posting, I’m subscribing 👍🏽
yes, Alfredo’s is the best at sea, if not, anywhere. Is the charge at Salty Dog only for the Earnest burger, or for anything please? I really don’t see paying extra for just a burger.
Yeah. It’s daft calling something so regularly used with such multiple, long or confusing names. Why not keep it simple? Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel if you haven’t done so already. 👍🙂
The opening cocktail preparation is the perfect aperitif to this lovely video! (I trust that you, Rich, were properly attired for the special dinner. Helen looked lovely, of course. Who allowed those casually-dressed commoners in?)
Gelato is different to ice cream, as you said, it is also not served so cold and icy as ice cream. Much nicer. Funny how it has less cream than ice cream but actually tastes creamier.
Hi Rich and Helen, fantastic video, superb editing and voiceover, you crack me up! This ship looks amazing thanks for showing us in style. PS agree with you on the crockery, definitely tastes better. The chef's table looked amazing.
Well, We are going on our very first cruise, coincidentally on this ship! Loved the well paced food commentary and video. The chefs table looks like something I’d like to experience, and the sanctuary. Could you say how much the sanctuary cost please? Thanks again
Hi Aubrey and thanks for watching and commenting. I think you're going to love Sky Princess. As for the Sanctuary? It's USD40pp for a whole day or USD20pp per half day. If booking half a day we'd recommend the afternoon as then you can enjoy afternoon teas served to your loungers. Yuo can also book the Sanctuary for the whole voyage when you embark and sometimes they'll have an early bird deal, so check that out. Cabanas can be booked at a daily rate too although I can't remember the prices (I think USD140 if I remember correctly). Whatever you decide, we love the Sanctuary and think it's well worth the cost, especially if the ship is sailing full. Enjoy! :D
@@visitwithus hi again! On your recommendation, we booked a 7 day sanctuary pass $219 for a couple! There doesn’t seem anyway to book the chefs table, or any other,as the app is rubbish, will have to try when we get on board. Thanks again Aubrey
Thank you for this wonderful video! We will be on Sky Princess this November 2021, and I was curious if there was anything new with regards to dining. We are Platinum Members of the Captain's Circle and have been on many Princess ships. So far, we have never been disappointed! We love Princess! Thank you for your awesome video.
Hi Tess. Thanks for watching! We're actually on Sky next week, so although we're confident nothing has changed, we should be able to confirm that in a few days. I hope you subscribe. :)
@@visitwithus Already have, watched many of your ship guides they are great going on Crown Princess this July to the Fjords your review helped us decide it was the right ship for us thankyou.The newer Sky looks amazing also .
I took a cruise on the Caribbean Princess in November of 2015 the food was great then it looks even better now...sadly princess no longer sails out of Houston the port closed
Thanks for the great, informative and comprevideo review!...Well Done!...Wife and I are sailing on Sky mid-January. We have a question... At the Chef's Table Dinner,the "selected wine` pours....Can one get a full glass or only a small tasting sample? We both enjoy wine with dinner....and wish to have ample amounts. Even if we order off a menu... Thanks for your follow up!
Hi Jim. You can have as much or as little wine as you wish at the chefs table. Just let them know. 😀 Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel. 👍🙂
How do you know which dining room to go to in the evening? There are usually at least three of the more formal dining rooms. Do you choose yourself or is it somehow chosen for you?
If we’re not at a pre-booked extra cost specialty restaurant we usually book at table at one if the restaurants on the medallion app which will show you which ones are available at what time. This can be done however far in advance you want to do it - though we usually only get round to doing it while we’re having a pre-dinner drink in one of the bars 😁 Thanks for watching 👍
We booked the Chefs Table while on board if I remember. You'll have to check on board as to the availability, especially with that pesky covid hanging around - they might not be offering the full 'kitchen' experience. :)
Fantastic video as always; I'm usually just a silent appreciater. :) A question about the Chef's Table Luimere - if anyone partaking of it had allergies (e.g. to the hazlenuts in the dessert dishes) would the head chef have taken that into consideration when preparing the dishes for the evening - assuming, of course, that there was a way to let him know beforehand - or would that person just have had to miss out on that particular dish?
Hi Ennaiba. Thanks for taking to comment. Yes, they ask about allergies beforehand so they can plan around your specific needs. 😀 Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel if you haven’t done so already. 👍🙂
Great quality video! Two ?'s if you don't mind...Does this ship have a full wrap around outside Promenade, if not how much would you guess and are you planning to do a Sky ship review video? Thanks a Bunch!
No, unfortunately the ship does not have a full promenade like the Grand Class ships, which is a great shame. And YES, I will be doing a full voyage review shortly! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)
Fabulous video, as always! What a brilliant intro too. I'm really looking forward to my next Princess cruise in September 2021 to the Baltics. I tried the P&O Aurora Chef's Table and had a fabulous evening. Hope they do it on Grand Princess, I'll be signed up= on day one! Looking forward to your future videos! Best wishes, Philip.
@@visitwithus Update, as you may have guessed The Baltics is a no go so I have booked one of the Seacations for 5 nights (to nowhere) on this very ship. Took your advice and booked up the speciality dining. Not sure the chefs table will go ahead with the social distancing protocols but I'm sure I won't go hungry ;-)
Thank you so much for a very informative video on the SKY. We are new w/Princess, not new to cruising - this is our 22nd cruise. We will be cruising on her Sept. 19th to Canada/NE. Loved hearing your voice and of course the music. Looking forward nowto her entertainment in the Take Five Jazz Club as we are from the NJ/NYC area.
Ooh, we loved the jazz club. It was very quiet in the evenings and the music was superb. Enjoy! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)
You have to ask if there is availability as soon as you board and if you’re lucky you’ll get the chance to go. It’s not cheap but a wonderful evening if you want a treat 👍 Thanks for watching 😊
Thanks for watching and your kind words. Just to be clear, it wasn’t plastic cutlery, it was those plasticky non ceramic plates and crockery I was moaning about. We’ve never used plastic cutlery on board either. 🙂
Aww, that will be lovely Susan. Only a few days to go now! Have a wonderful time. ❤ Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)

Spending 21 days on Sky soon and this was exceptional and has gotten me so excited to eat! Im just going to have to bring my pant extenders! :)

We try and be as honest as we can without being rude Angela. Sometimes it's a fine balance... :)
Nice video. Love your sense of humor.
Thank you. :)
Well, that was wonderful. We will be on a 14D transatlantic with friends in April on Regal. Much to look forward to, and thank you.

OMG THROUGH THE CHANDELIER!! Nice one, mate!
Shhh. Don’t tell Princess I shoved a camera where it shouldn’t go. 🤫😂😂😂
Will be sailing the Sky Princess on May 2025. I'm already dreaming of seating on the chef's table. I hope it is included in my Premier Package

Thanks Tom. Unfortunately, due to COVID, they're not running the Chef's Table at present. :(
I have 6 weeks biiked for Jan / Feb 2021 on the Sky.
I just hope that Corona does not scare me off.
Damn virus.
I CANCELLED.
Hopefully next year, if there is a vaccine.
Hope you’re cruising again 🚢❤️
Thanks for watching 👍

Extremely good video as always. Which ship are you reviewing next ?
Thanks Roland. Sorry it’s taken so long to reply. Our next review will either be the QE2 (yes, The actual QE2), more of the Sky or possibly the Celebrity Edge, the Azamara Quest, the Sapphire Princess... oh dear, I’ve just realised I’ve got quite a bit to do! 🤣

Fingers crossed cruising starts up again soon! Great video. Love your soothing voice. I didn’t know you could enjoy tea time in the sanctuary 🫖
Thank you for posting, I’m subscribing 👍🏽
Thanks so much for subscribing. We hope you enjoy our channel. There's so much more to come. :)
yes, Alfredo’s is the best at sea, if not, anywhere. Is the charge at Salty Dog only for the Earnest burger, or for anything please? I really don’t see paying extra for just a burger.
Exactly 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
I agree we always called the buffet either the Lido or the Horizon Buffet
Yeah. It’s daft calling something so regularly used with such multiple, long or confusing names. Why not keep it simple? Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel if you haven’t done so already. 👍🙂
Loved the video, many thanks.
Thanks Chris. 😀
Super video. Congratulations on passing on the Nutella Donut (save the naughtiness for something better).
It was a tough thing to avoid. They kept looking at me longingly. 😂
Lovely video! Cruising on the Sky Princess in Nov. 2020, can't wait!!!
You'll have a brilliant time! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)
The opening cocktail preparation is the perfect aperitif to this lovely video! (I trust that you, Rich, were properly attired for the special dinner. Helen looked lovely, of course. Who allowed those casually-dressed commoners in?)
Haha! thank you for your kind words (Helen ALWAYS looks lovely!). Id have sent the improperly attired to the brig! :D
a funny brit... thought yall were extinct! loved this video.. cant wait until i can get a ride on the sky.
Haha! Spread the word - there’s still some of us left. 😂
Check out Bald and Bankrupt ,he is so cool and very funny
I loved it. The ship and the video.
Thank you Diogo. :)
Fantastic Review. Very well done!! So much fun.
Thanks Sean. Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel if you haven’t done so already. 👍🙂
Gelato is different to ice cream, as you said, it is also not served so cold and icy as ice cream. Much nicer. Funny how it has less cream than ice cream but actually tastes creamier.
Both are a huge weakness, but you’re right, gelato is heavenly! 🤤
Hi Rich and Helen, fantastic video, superb editing and voiceover, you crack me up! This ship looks amazing thanks for showing us in style. PS agree with you on the crockery, definitely tastes better. The chef's table looked amazing.
Thanks Nicola. The crockery issue is SO important to a fussy eater like me. 😆
Oh my goodness. I can’t wait! Already booked.
You'll LOVE it! :D Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)
Excellent, loved it.
Thank you George. Brand new Princess video coming today! Please subscribe! 🙏
Well, We are going on our very first cruise, coincidentally on this ship!
Loved the well paced food commentary and video.
The chefs table looks like something I’d like to experience, and the sanctuary.
Could you say how much the sanctuary cost please?
Thanks again
Hi Aubrey and thanks for watching and commenting. I think you're going to love Sky Princess. As for the Sanctuary? It's USD40pp for a whole day or USD20pp per half day. If booking half a day we'd recommend the afternoon as then you can enjoy afternoon teas served to your loungers. Yuo can also book the Sanctuary for the whole voyage when you embark and sometimes they'll have an early bird deal, so check that out. Cabanas can be booked at a daily rate too although I can't remember the prices (I think USD140 if I remember correctly). Whatever you decide, we love the Sanctuary and think it's well worth the cost, especially if the ship is sailing full. Enjoy! :D
@@visitwithus hi again!
On your recommendation, we booked a 7 day sanctuary pass $219 for a couple!
There doesn’t seem anyway to book the chefs table, or any other,as the app is rubbish, will have to try when we get on board.
Thanks again
Aubrey
Thank you for this wonderful video! We will be on Sky Princess this November 2021, and I was curious if there was anything new with regards to dining. We are Platinum Members of the Captain's Circle and have been on many Princess ships. So far, we have never been disappointed! We love Princess! Thank you for your awesome video.
Hi Tess. Thanks for watching! We're actually on Sky next week, so although we're confident nothing has changed, we should be able to confirm that in a few days. I hope you subscribe. :)
My husband and I are also onboard the Sky Princess in November. Are you setting sail on 5th?
I agree with you about real plates !!
They are an absolute must! Thank you for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel. 🙏🙂
@@visitwithus Already have, watched many of your ship guides they are great going on Crown Princess this July to the Fjords your review helped us decide it was the right ship for us thankyou.The newer Sky looks amazing also .
I took a cruise on the Caribbean Princess in November of 2015 the food was great then it looks even better now...sadly princess no longer sails out of Houston the port closed
Thank for watching Mike. Shame about Houston. :(
Thanks for the great, informative and comprevideo review!...Well Done!...Wife and I are sailing on Sky mid-January. We have a question... At the Chef's Table Dinner,the "selected wine` pours....Can one get a full glass or only a small tasting sample? We both enjoy wine with dinner....and wish to have ample amounts. Even if we order off a menu...
Thanks for your follow up!
Hi Jim. You can have as much or as little wine as you wish at the chefs table. Just let them know. 😀 Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel. 👍🙂
How do you know which dining room to go to in the evening? There are usually at least three of the more formal dining rooms. Do you choose yourself or is it somehow chosen for you?
If we’re not at a pre-booked extra cost specialty restaurant we usually book at table at one if the restaurants on the medallion app which will show you which ones are available at what time. This can be done however far in advance you want to do it - though we usually only get round to doing it while we’re having a pre-dinner drink in one of the bars 😁
Thanks for watching 👍
Very well done though I would have liked to see a bit more of the breakfast menu but a great presentation
Thank you 😊
And Thanks for watching 👍
How did you book the Chef table Lumiere. Did you wait till you got on board and what days is this experience available?
We booked the Chefs Table while on board if I remember. You'll have to check on board as to the availability, especially with that pesky covid hanging around - they might not be offering the full 'kitchen' experience. :)
Fantastic video as always; I'm usually just a silent appreciater. :) A question about the Chef's Table Luimere - if anyone partaking of it had allergies (e.g. to the hazlenuts in the dessert dishes) would the head chef have taken that into consideration when preparing the dishes for the evening - assuming, of course, that there was a way to let him know beforehand - or would that person just have had to miss out on that particular dish?
Hi Ennaiba. Thanks for taking to comment. Yes, they ask about allergies beforehand so they can plan around your specific needs. 😀 Thank you also for watching. We hope you consider subscribing to our little channel if you haven’t done so already. 👍🙂
Re, Sur Le Mer - Funny about posher food, the more you pay, the less you get.
😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 👍
Really informative, and a good giggle too. Now we want to try the chefs table, looks such a special thing to do
I
Thanks Michelle and Nigel. It's not cheap but if you have a special occasion it is such a lovely experience. :)
Great quality video! Two ?'s if you don't mind...Does this ship have a full wrap around outside Promenade, if not how much would you guess and are you planning to do a Sky ship review video? Thanks a Bunch!
No, unfortunately the ship does not have a full promenade like the Grand Class ships, which is a great shame. And YES, I will be doing a full voyage review shortly! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)
@@visitwithus Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to it. BTW, my wife love's your voice. She says you should narrate audio books.
Just found your channel and loved your approach. Subscribed straighvaway 😊👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you! ❤
Fabulous video, as always! What a brilliant intro too. I'm really looking forward to my next Princess cruise in September 2021 to the Baltics. I tried the P&O Aurora Chef's Table and had a fabulous evening. Hope they do it on Grand Princess, I'll be signed up= on day one! Looking forward to your future videos! Best wishes, Philip.
Thanks Philip! The Chef's Table was a brilliant evening and will live long in the memory. :)
@@visitwithus Update, as you may have guessed The Baltics is a no go so I have booked one of the Seacations for 5 nights (to nowhere) on this very ship. Took your advice and booked up the speciality dining. Not sure the chefs table will go ahead with the social distancing protocols but I'm sure I won't go hungry ;-)
such a fine video!
Thank you Grace. ☺️
Thank you so much for a very informative video on the SKY. We are new w/Princess, not new to cruising - this is our 22nd cruise. We will be cruising on her Sept. 19th to Canada/NE. Loved hearing your voice and of course the music. Looking forward nowto her entertainment in the Take Five Jazz Club as we are from the NJ/NYC area.
Ooh, we loved the jazz club. It was very quiet in the evenings and the music was superb. Enjoy! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)
I have always found the Captain's Luncheon to be the best meal of the cruise.
And it's FREE. (You just have to be one of the top 20 cruisers)
Sounds great. Long way to go for us though 😆
Thanks for watching 👍
Starts at 2:40
How do you get an invite to the Chef’s table?
You have to ask if there is availability as soon as you board and if you’re lucky you’ll get the chance to go. It’s not cheap but a wonderful evening if you want a treat 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
I have been on 19 Princess cruises and have never been offered plastic cutlery in any venue. Otherwise, wonderful video!
Thanks for watching and your kind words. Just to be clear, it wasn’t plastic cutlery, it was those plasticky non ceramic plates and crockery I was moaning about. We’ve never used plastic cutlery on board either. 🙂
We are going on Regal Princess on February 9th for the renewal of wedding vows by none other than Captain Stubing of the Love Boat! We can’t wait 🥰
Aww, that will be lovely Susan. Only a few days to go now! Have a wonderful time. ❤ Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing? :)
