My wife and I did the same cruise on Arvia the year before. Your vlogs brought back so many great memories. Thanks for your truly honest and full vlogs. You made the whole thing lots of fun 🍷
Hi David , thank you very much for those comments , and thank you for watching our vlogs . Really pleased that it brought back some happy memories. After all that’s why we do it . We love to show our family some of the places we have been lucky enough to visit. Thanks again David it’s really appreciated.🥂👋👋
Honest opinions, really like this video as so often cruise videos are sugar coated, hearing you tell it as it is...... Very refreshing, I can relate to this 👍 Thanks for your time, Vik
Hi Vik , thank you ,we think you have to point out the bad as well as the good . Usually the good outweighs the bad but its important to bring it to peoples attention .We had a great time and are going back next January so some of it must have made an impression 😎 . Thanks very much for watching and we are still amazed at the Potato masher 😂.
I missed this when you posted it. This is a good way to go over your trip, and help others who are doing this for the first time. You both are very fun to watch, and I'm glad you are posting the new trip. LOL! Brian, you always match the furniture. I have a pillow like the one you all have. I enjoy you all. Take care.
Hi Rene , we thought we would just give our thoughts and opinion and hopefully help people who are doing the same trip . 😂🤣 I seem to blend in wherever I go these days .Thanks very much Rene , lovely to hear from you .XX
Hi Angela, thank you , we were a bit concerned about the sound as you do want people to hear what you’re trying to say . It’s good to hear that it didn’t spoil it too much. Thanks for watching our vlogs Angela and we really appreciate such a nice comment.❤️❤️xx
Totally enjoyed watching every video on this cruise, back to back 😃. Love how down to earth you both are. In regards to people covering up when going for food, I agree with you. On one of our cruises a lady was walking through the door away from the pool deck in a bikini, and an officer told her ever so nicely that she had to cover up if leaving the pool area. Fair enough, the lady did go back to the pool for her cover up. Thanks for your wonderful videos. 😊 x
Hi Shirley , great to hear from you . Thank you so much for your lovely comments, and for watching all those videos. You deserve a stiff drink 😂. I really don’t understand why people think that it’s acceptable to behave like that , just put a top on , you don’t want to see all that flesh especially near food . On our recent cruise a guy walked through the middle of the atrium with no top on 😫, everyone was looking at him . Anyway that’s enough moaning, thanks again Shirley we really appreciate it .XX❤️❤️
Big fans ❤ You two have become essential Sunday Evening viewing with the whole family enjoying your adventures & fantastic sense of humour! The Caribbean videos where especially enjoyable as our friends where on that cruise, so imagine our delight when they appeared multiple times in one particular episode!!! Keep up the great work 👍
Hi Martyn, thanks mate that is so kind and so nice to hear . That is so good to have seen your friends on the video, hopefully they enjoyed themselves. We are on Azura at the moment, hence the delay in replying. We are on the balcony in Corfu enjoying a glass or two . Thanks again Martyn for your great feedback.👋👋🥂
Many would not know how hard it is to vlog, get sound right is not as easy as it sounds..Plus doing it with others around..I am just finding that out ..You still do a good job...Love your work...😃
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 We took enough tablets to look like smugglers..I was lucky to dodge covid.. Just put a video up...See if you can pick who we were talking about with drinks in part 2 to come.... . 😉🤣
Hi Guys , glad your contraband days are behind you . We are on a short 3 night cruise on Queen Mary at the moment. So will be watching your Video when we get home . I wonder who you could mean 🤔
Hi pearl & brian we have been watching your p&o vlogs as we cruise p&o also, we find you both so entertaining & love the fact your both so reel, what a lovely pair you are, carry on the great work & have many more fantastic holidays, we will be watching, pearl your a great little mover on the dance floor, were off on azura next week around Greek islands & Italy/france very excited, so your azura vlog was great to catch up on even tho we have been on her loads before… Take care pearl & Brian happy cruising enjoy 🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢 Keep up you sterling work
Hi Sue , thank you so much for that fantastic message. Glad to hear that you enjoy the vlogs . We try and stay as natural as possible when we record them , so it is good to hear that it comes over that way . Pearl certainly likes to get up on that dance floor , one of her favourite things to do . Sounds like a great itinerary you have for your Azura cruise, hope you have a brilliant time. Thanks again Sue , we really do appreciate such positive feedback , and of course thank you very much for watching. Have a great time 🚢XX👋👋
Really loving your vlogs. We share all your views on dress code, lounger towels etc. We find your vlogs are so down to earth and easy to watch. Lots of good tips. I am printing copies of our passports as we speak. Looking forward to the next episode. Take care both.
Hi David , thank you that is so kind , we do appreciate your lovely message. Glad that there is a little bit of helpful information 😂 and it’s not always the wrong information 🤣. We are currently on Azura so hence the delay in responding. Thanks again David I’m going back to my glass of red now .👋👋🥂
Have loved following this holiday. thanks for vlogging it...looking forward to the next one....also agree with some of the other comments here, that coffee table is awesome!
😂 thanks Senseicads , glad you enjoyed the video and the table 😂.Thanks very much for following along , we are on Azura in Corfu at present. Hence the delay in responding. Take care and many thanks.👋👋
Hi Denise , we are at Malta airport at the moment after just disembarking Azura . Hence the delayed response. Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care .X
Hi , thank you that is so kind , we just try our hardest to be ourselves. Pearl takes a lot of stick from me but she takes it well 😆 . Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to comment.👋👋
Hello folks great content ,,, we’re looking forward to December when we’re on the same trip only difference is we fly into Antigua ,,, although we have no flights yet so fingers crossed,, looking forward to your next vlog, take care.
Hi Percy , thank you … December will be here before you know it , plus it’s great when you have something special to look forward to . Antigua was great that is where we did the helicopter. So hope your flights get sorted soon. I usually respond asap but we are on Azura and the signal has been pretty poor. Thanks very much for watching Percy .👋👋
Hi Kevin & Diane , same here it was great to meet you both . Hopefully you enjoyed the cruise and have plans to try a few more . Hope you got home ok , the m25 was far worse than the flight for us 😩. Thank you for following along with our videos we do appreciate it .Might see you on another one 👋👋🍷🍸 Pearl & Brian
We had a 2 hour flight delay we are looking at Britannia for our next trip but not the Caribbean so gonna look to see were else she goes we might meet again looking forward to your next videos take care 😊
@kevinmooney6388 I don’t think any flights leave on time , you just want to get home once the holiday is over . Hope you find something that appeals to you as we hear lots of positivity about Britannia. 👋👋
Hi Gaynor , thank you very much . We had a great time thank you . Currently at Malta airport waiting for our flight home , hence the delayed response. Thank you for your kind comment and for watching.XX❤️
Hello Peeps, I would say welcome back, but you've been home for a while now. Great 'wash up' session of your trip, full of tips - always good. Of course we are all looking forward to your next set of vids on your next cruise. Keep up the banter, don't go woke, and Brian, try not to blend in with the furniture. Pearl, looking stunning as always, your wardrobe is amazing. You are two of my favourite people I've never met, and yet feel I know!😘😘
Hi Glenda , sorry for the late response we were on Azura for 7 days . Thank you Glenda that is such a lovely comment. Going Woke 😂🤣 no chance . I’m afraid there was more blending in on this cruise 🤣 . Pearl looked her usual glam self , not that she ever thinks that . She is always doubting herself. Your last comment is so kind and we feel very flattered. As we said before we just try and be ourselves, and just film ourselves on holiday. Plus we know we are very fortunate to be able to have these wonderful adventures. Take care Glenda and many thanks ❤️❤️XX
Hi Django & Kevin , hope you are both well. Sorry for the delayed response we are waiting to disembark Azura in Malta . We are looking forward to seeing what Britannia is like . That would be great to see you guys again, thank you very much for watching and commenting. 🥂👋👋
Hi Marc , thanks mate a similar sort of thing on this cruise. Currently at Malta airport waiting for flight that’s why the delayed response. Cheers Marc 🍺👋
Great round up of your time on Arvia, we pretty much had the same views on the dining as you guys and the entertainment. We must have similar tastes as we’ve even got the same style and beige leather sofa 😂 Love your white table by the way, very stylish. It was great looking back and remembering some of the things you did, in the previous episodes, totally forgotten all about you getting in the wrong cabin but had another chuckle again, only cos that would be something we’d do. Fabulous video series and we have the next one coming up, can’t wait to find out about Kotor - thanks again for the brilliant vlogs ❤
Thanks Guys that is very kind , good old DFS they must have had one of their sales I reckon 😂. As we said some people told us that the food was awful, we didn’t find that we felt that it was ok . Not outstanding but ok . That’s the good thing about doing these vlogs, you watch them a few months later and it brings it all back to you . It’s like doing the cruise all over again, apart from the weather 😂 Glad we are not the only dopes who end up in the wrong room 😩. As for the table we have had that donkeys years , I couldn’t even tell you where we got it . It has caused quite a bit of interest though 🤣 . We absolutely loved Kotor , the sail in was just like the Fjords. Thanks for watching guys and for your always positive and kind comments.❤️❤️👋👋
Thanks Sara , sorry for the late response, we are currently waiting to disembark Azura in Malta . Hope you have a great time , I think you will love Arvia . We are on again in September. Thank you Sara , take care Xx
Hi , thank you very much we are really pleased you enjoyed them . Sorry for this later than normal response, we were on Azura and never had the best of signals. Thanks so much for watching 👋👋
Oh you made me really laugh, when you said you could have done with a kip, made me think of that episode of on the buses, when olive got up in the middle of the night and couldnt see, as she didn’t have her glasses on and went back to bed and got in the wrong bed , if you have seen it you know what happens next. Lollllll
great videos of your trips and adventures ! Well put together makes all us cruisers feel like we’re back on our hols ! If you like acoustic songs feel free to give me a listen cheers Ian.
Brilliant Thanks for all the info ❤ our friends are on Arviva on the 25th of May, so I will send them all the tips . We agree with everything you both said. We are very similar in things and opinions . ❤ take care both of you A&J xx
Hi Amanda , Only a couple of days away then for your friends, hopefully they will enjoy it . We are currently waiting to disembark Azura in Malta then fly home. Thanks Amanda hope you are both well .🥂👋👋❤️
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 arr bless you both 😍. We hope you had a lovely trip ,it goes so fast, doesn't it . Thank you for replying to all my comments ,I don't expect you to but it is lovely 😊 I noticed you do it for everyone ,that must take you ages but I bet everyone appreciates the time and effort you put into all of the vlogs and followers 😊 take care both of you ❤️A&J xxx
Hi Dominic , thank you we had a great time , so we are going again next year this time on Britannia. Sorry for the delay in responding but we are on Azura at present and there has been no signal. Thanks very much for watching 👋👋
Thanks for your tips enjoy Azura we found her fabulous in April and the Britannia is amazing ship sailed on the 4 times looking to seeing next adventure ❤❤
Morning Yvonne, sorry for this late response we just got home last night after our 7 nights on Azura. We had a great time , and although the ship is a bit tired in places it didn’t spoil our time on board. Always good to hear positive comments from people who have cruised on these ships. So really looking forward to Britannia. Thanks as usual Yvonne for watching our vlogs , glad you enjoyed them and thanks for your thoughts on Britannia. XX❤️👋
You will love Britannia , we’ve been on a couple of times before and on it in 6 weeks to canary’s , for 2 weeks it’s a lovely ship 😊now I’m looking forward to your Azura cruise . We are on Baltic level 10 per cent and you’ll be there soon with all your cruises booked , love you both x❤️
Hi Molly , apologies for the late response but it wasn’t the best signal on Azura. It’s great to hear positive feedback from someone who has sailed on Britannia, we are really looking forward to it. Hope you have a fantastic time back on her in a few weeks. Almost guaranteed lovely weather with that itinerary. Yeah we are slowly climbing the ladder towards 10 per cent discount. Every little bit helps towards Pearls bar bill 😂 . Thanks Molly for watching and such lovely comments.❤️❤️XX
Hi Sharnie, how kind that is so nice to hear . We have just came home from 7 nights on P&O Azura . Then in a few days we are going on Cunard Queen Mary 2 for 3 nights . How will Cunard cope with Pearl 😱😱. Thanks again Sharnie for such a lovely message XX
Hi Alison , we are currently in Corfu , getting ready to sail away and head back to Malta . We have had a great time . Thanks very much for watching Alison , and hope you will enjoy the Azura videos XX🥂
I’ve done the Britannia to the Caribbean and loved it. I think it’s best suited for the Caribbean because of the big open decks and you get great entertainment on the pool decks in the day and at night. Although the Arvia, is a great ship I do think Britannia is better for the Caribbean 😊
Hi Louise , that’s brilliant to hear especially from someone who has actually experienced it .We did enjoy Arvia, but we thought Britannia has a slightly different itinerary, so different ship and different destinations.We are really looking forward to it . Thanks very much for watching Louise , and for the information.X👋👋
Great to hear what you both thought of your cruise, as someone who is only considering doing a cruise I found it interesting. Do you have any land trips booked , long weekends etc, can't wait for the next one x take care both of you and see you soon ❤
Hi Sandra , thank you I’m after the moment all our plans are mostly cruise related. That’s not to say I wouldn’t surprise Pearl with a little trip somewhere. Good to know you’re considering a cruise , you could always try a short one to see if it’s for you or not . Take care Sandra great to hear from you ❤️👋X
Hi Jackson , well you are going to have a fantastic time . It’s great to go when it’s winter in the UK , arrive in Barbados plenty of sunshine and heat . Thanks for watching Jackson , sorry for the delay in replying but we are on Azura and didn’t have the best signal.👋👋
Great video,honest opinions about Arvia, and P and O.We like yourselves and heard negative views about Arvia.We had a great cruise on Arvia,yes, it's not perfect but no ship is.We have been on both Britannia and the QM2 and enjoyed them both,I'm sure you will too.Can't wait for your next video about the Azura and let's see what shoes Pearl can destroy on this one😂
Hi Susan , that’s great to hear that you have been on Britannia, we heard lots of positive things about the ship so that is the reason we booked it , and of course a different itinerary. We are currently on Azura and are having a great time .Pearl has been slightly better with the shoe situation, only one mishap so far 😂🤣. Thank you Susan and great to hear from you XX🥂
Hi Marecia , sorry for the delay in getting back to, we are on Azura at present. I have a signal so will use it wisely. We heard a lot of positive things concerning Britannia. Always good to hear from someone who has sailed on her . Hope you have a great cruise, and thank you for always watching.👋👋🥂
Good Morning, sorry this is later than normal, we were on P&O Azura and never had the best of signals. Glad that you enjoyed the vlogs, we certainly enjoyed ourselves. Best cruise ? That is a hard one .I would say because it was our first ever one , was when we did the east coast of America and into Canada. Great scenery, great cities, brilliant wildlife. Shame we weren’t vlogging then .😂 Thanks Susan as always for watching and always great to hear from you .X❤️👋
Good assessment of the cruise. We'd heard a lot of negative opinions about P&O before we took our first cruise with that company on Arvia. It's Paula's favourite cruise so far and it's a close second in my cruise ranking. We both thought the food was very good overall, Sindhu being a disappointing exception. Think we had a great time at the Epicurean but are we bad people for saying we can't remember a lot about that evening? I think maybe the pre-dinner bottle of wine in the room was a bad idea 🤣 We've a couple of cruises booked with Princess coming up this year and early 2025 but enjoyed P&O so much that we've booked the Canaries late summer 2025 on Iona and cannot wait. Have the best time on your current cruise on Azura and keep those excellent vlogs coming. Best wishes, Chris & Paula
Hi Chris , hope you and Paula are both well. We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, everything went to plan , just a few minor faults that you can get on any cruise. Off course your not bad people 🤣if your going to forget something then wine is the best excuse.Hope you have a great time on Princess, we do like that company. Glad you enjoyed Arvia and are now going on Iona , very similar ships and it should be wall to wall sunshine in the Canaries. Take care Paula and Chris , thanks for the continued support 👋👋🥂🍺
Great review Pearl and Brian, but please tell me….it was morning wasn’t it when you did the review?! 🥂😂 I do hope so! (Never too early for a drink) Welcome back from Azura, are you on tonight or still editing? 🤔 Take care xx
Hi Al , yes I'm afraid to say it was the morning, straight to hell for us😂😂. Azura was good fun, tired in places but it was more for the itinerary that we chose it . You can have a well earned break tonight 🍷🤣 trying to get one video for next week as we have Cunard on Thursday . Batten down the hatches Cunard Pearl is on the way 😱. Have great week Al , thanks as always .XX
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 will miss you both tonight! Picked my Dad and H up yesterday off the coach from Arcadia, they said she was tired in places too! Ooh have a fabulous time on Cunard, I will be thinking of you and living your trip! Enjoy!!! 🥂👌🏼 xx
Hope your Dad and H still enjoyed their cruise , these older ships definitely need a refurb . Thanks Al , only three nights but it will give us an idea if Cunard is for us . XX

Hey guys, great review, glad you enjoyed it,
Hi Dominic , thank you we had a great time , so we are going again next year this time on Britannia. Sorry for the delay in responding but we are on Azura at present and there has been no signal. Thanks very much for watching 👋👋
Glad you guys are enjoying your latest one
Stay safe
Thanks for your tips enjoy Azura we found her fabulous in April and the Britannia is amazing ship sailed on the 4 times looking to seeing next adventure ❤❤
Morning Yvonne, sorry for this late response we just got home last night after our 7 nights on Azura. We had a great time , and although the ship is a bit tired in places it didn’t spoil our time on board. Always good to hear positive comments from people who have cruised on these ships. So really looking forward to Britannia. Thanks as usual Yvonne for watching our vlogs , glad you enjoyed them and thanks for your thoughts on Britannia. XX❤️👋
You will love Britannia , we’ve been on a couple of times before and on it in 6 weeks to canary’s , for 2 weeks it’s a lovely ship 😊now I’m looking forward to your Azura cruise . We are on Baltic level 10 per cent and you’ll be there soon with all your cruises booked , love you both x❤️
Hi Molly , apologies for the late response but it wasn’t the best signal on Azura. It’s great to hear positive feedback from someone who has sailed on Britannia, we are really looking forward to it. Hope you have a fantastic time back on her in a few weeks. Almost guaranteed lovely weather with that itinerary. Yeah we are slowly climbing the ladder towards 10 per cent discount. Every little bit helps towards Pearls bar bill 😂 . Thanks Molly for watching and such lovely comments.❤️❤️XX
I just adore you two, you feel like friends of the family now 😊 when are you away again?
Hi Sharnie, how kind that is so nice to hear . We have just came home from 7 nights on P&O Azura . Then in a few days we are going on Cunard Queen Mary 2 for 3 nights . How will Cunard cope with Pearl 😱😱. Thanks again Sharnie for such a lovely message XX
Looking forward to your next blog of azura were on that itinerary in september x
Hi Alison , we are currently in Corfu , getting ready to sail away and head back to Malta . We have had a great time . Thanks very much for watching Alison , and hope you will enjoy the Azura videos XX🥂
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 can't wait x
I’ve done the Britannia to the Caribbean and loved it. I think it’s best suited for the Caribbean because of the big open decks and you get great entertainment on the pool decks in the day and at night. Although the Arvia, is a great ship I do think Britannia is better for the Caribbean 😊
Hi Louise , that’s brilliant to hear especially from someone who has actually experienced it .We did enjoy Arvia, but we thought Britannia has a slightly different itinerary, so different ship and different destinations.We are really looking forward to it . Thanks very much for watching Louise , and for the information.X👋👋
Great to hear what you both thought of your cruise, as someone who is only considering doing a cruise I found it interesting. Do you have any land trips booked , long weekends etc, can't wait for the next one x take care both of you and see you soon ❤
Hi Sandra , thank you I’m after the moment all our plans are mostly cruise related. That’s not to say I wouldn’t surprise Pearl with a little trip somewhere. Good to know you’re considering a cruise , you could always try a short one to see if it’s for you or not . Take care Sandra great to hear from you ❤️👋X
I'm going back to Barbados for the second time flying with TUI to go back on P&O arvia on the 3rd of January 2 weeks on the Caribbean can't wait
Hi Jackson , well you are going to have a fantastic time . It’s great to go when it’s winter in the UK , arrive in Barbados plenty of sunshine and heat . Thanks for watching Jackson , sorry for the delay in replying but we are on Azura and didn’t have the best signal.👋👋
Great video,honest opinions about Arvia, and P and O.We like yourselves and heard negative views about Arvia.We had a great cruise on Arvia,yes, it's not perfect but no ship is.We have been on both Britannia and the QM2 and enjoyed them both,I'm sure you will too.Can't wait for your next video about the Azura and let's see what shoes Pearl can destroy on this one😂
Hi Susan , that’s great to hear that you have been on Britannia, we heard lots of positive things about the ship so that is the reason we booked it , and of course a different itinerary. We are currently on Azura and are having a great time .Pearl has been slightly better with the shoe situation, only one mishap so far 😂🤣. Thank you Susan and great to hear from you XX🥂
Britannia is a lovely ship, we are back on her next year.
Hi Marecia , sorry for the delay in getting back to, we are on Azura at present. I have a signal so will use it wisely. We heard a lot of positive things concerning Britannia. Always good to hear from someone who has sailed on her . Hope you have a great cruise, and thank you for always watching.👋👋🥂
Pearl and Brian thank you for doing this vlog, enjoyed it so much.
I’ve got a question for you both, what’s your favourite cruise and why.
Good Morning, sorry this is later than normal, we were on P&O Azura and never had the best of signals. Glad that you enjoyed the vlogs, we certainly enjoyed ourselves. Best cruise ? That is a hard one .I would say because it was our first ever one , was when we did the east coast of America and into Canada. Great scenery, great cities, brilliant wildlife. Shame we weren’t vlogging then .😂 Thanks Susan as always for watching and always great to hear from you .X❤️👋
Good assessment of the cruise. We'd heard a lot of negative opinions about P&O before we took our first cruise with that company on Arvia. It's Paula's favourite cruise so far and it's a close second in my cruise ranking. We both thought the food was very good overall, Sindhu being a disappointing exception. Think we had a great time at the Epicurean but are we bad people for saying we can't remember a lot about that evening? I think maybe the pre-dinner bottle of wine in the room was a bad idea 🤣 We've a couple of cruises booked with Princess coming up this year and early 2025 but enjoyed P&O so much that we've booked the Canaries late summer 2025 on Iona and cannot wait. Have the best time on your current cruise on Azura and keep those excellent vlogs coming. Best wishes, Chris & Paula
Hi Chris , hope you and Paula are both well. We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, everything went to plan , just a few minor faults that you can get on any cruise. Off course your not bad people 🤣if your going to forget something then wine is the best excuse.Hope you have a great time on Princess, we do like that company. Glad you enjoyed Arvia and are now going on Iona , very similar ships and it should be wall to wall sunshine in the Canaries. Take care Paula and Chris , thanks for the continued support 👋👋🥂🍺
Le Havre is ok x
Thanks for that information Sharnie , it’s good to hear from someone who has been. Xx👋
Great review Pearl and Brian, but please tell me….it was morning wasn’t it when you did the review?! 🥂😂 I do hope so! (Never too early for a drink)
Welcome back from Azura, are you on tonight or still editing? 🤔
Take care xx
Hi Al , yes I'm afraid to say it was the morning, straight to hell for us😂😂. Azura was good fun, tired in places but it was more for the itinerary that we chose it . You can have a well earned break tonight 🍷🤣 trying to get one video for next week as we have Cunard on Thursday . Batten down the hatches Cunard Pearl is on the way 😱. Have great week Al , thanks as always .XX
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 will miss you both tonight! Picked my Dad and H up yesterday off the coach from Arcadia, they said she was tired in places too!
Ooh have a fabulous time on Cunard, I will be thinking of you and living your trip! Enjoy!!! 🥂👌🏼 xx
Hope your Dad and H still enjoyed their cruise , these older ships definitely need a refurb . Thanks Al , only three nights but it will give us an idea if Cunard is for us . XX
❤
Did you say Dominica Republic? I think you meant Dominica. Dominica and Dominica Republic are two different countries.
Hi Elvis , it was neither of them it was the Dominican Republic. Thanks very much for watching 👋
