    About Me:
    Hi, I'm Louise! I started this channel in 2010 after readers of my blog (called Sprinkle of Glitter) suggested I give UA-cam a try. I was instantly hooked and have found my internet playground on here. I make videos about plus size fashion, motherhood, lifestyle and occasionally have special guests (friends, kittens or my sweet Daughters Darcy, 12 and Pearl, 5).
    I also write (book number SIX is out now!), podcast (Mother's Meeting, series 2 out now) and waffle on all over instagram.

    Big hugs,

    Hi Gang! The final daaaayyy! I'd like to make a Tips, Tricks and Myth Busters re Cruises at some point! If you have any questions, queries or concerns, tell me!! Nothing is too small or too silly xxxx

      I'm keen on hearing what you've learned! :) Would love to know what things you look for when booking excursions? I've done a Mediterranean cruise and it was really important to me to find accessible excursions since I was traveling with my grandmother. I think a lot of people would be interested to know what type of excursions P&O has on offer.

      I was given a gift certificate for a cruise but I'm worried about hidden fees and other costs. Like I've heard of people getting huge bills once they're docked and the cruise is done.

      do you feel there is much difference between rooms with no balcony/inside only, compared to the rooms with sea view/balconies IE - would it still be worth it if you had a cabin room only? xx

    I'm usually a silent watcher, but I just had to tell you that I LOVE how happy Liam is about the fact that you've pushed yourself on this trip - when your partner genuinely celebrates your little victories, doesn't judge you for feeling anxious or unsure and gives you all the love and reassurance you need to do hard things, you know you've got a good one. I often avoid films or tv shows if I think they're going to be too scary or make me feel on edge, and I was always too scared to swim in the sea, but my partner encourages me to try new things and gives me the safety and security I need to feel strong and believe in myself. Two years ago I bloody swam in the sea on holiday, and we've watched lots of new shows together, and he couldn't be prouder of me. It's so gorgeous to see you so happy and so celebrated in your relationship Louise

    Just in case you want to try tofu at home! If you like it crunchy and fried I would get extra firm tofu.
    Silken or soft are a bit softer. And they might not taste as good to you if you’d only had fried!
    I love tofu in all forms but I’ve been vegan for eight years. I’m so happy they have a full vegan restaurant on the ship! And I’m proud of you for trying so many new things!
    You seem so happy and at peace lately. And I’m really happy for you Louise! 🥰🥰🥰

    Loved these travel vlogs! I've been on a couple of cruises (including Norway - amazing!!) and loved it, however I'm hesitant about going on more because I'm trying to consider the environmental impact of how I travel and be more conscious of the ethics behind cruise/travel companies (how well they treat their staff etc.). Do you know anything about these topics or have any advice about this from your experience with P&O? :)

  • @amandal3565
    @amandal3565 Рік тому +5

    Would love to hear your view on how cruises might suit for someone traveling alone? Did you end up meeting new people while on the cruise? I'm also a quite nervous traveler and I would some encouragement for starting solo traveling!

    • @okayheykae
      @okayheykae Рік тому

      Oh, I have the same question! I've solo traveled before, but not solo cruised and I don't know what it would be like.
      If you want encouragement for general solo traveling then I can help with that!
      - I usually go on a hop on hop off bus on my first day to get a feel for the city, and even though most people on those buses are with other people it automatically gives you a community feeling (half of the audio plug in things won't work so you end up talking to people).
      - I really like museums and that's a great thing to do by yourself because you get to move at your own pace and see the things you want to
      - Also I love a walking tour. There are tip based ones in lots of cities and you get to be in a group for a while. I've ended up getting food with people afterwards because you can kind of get to know people while you're walking around (it depends on the specific tour how chatty the group is)
      - I'm terrible at directions so that can be stressful for me, but doing the hop on hop off buses on the first day helps me understand where things are without needing to figure out public transportation, and apps like Google maps and City Mapper keep me from getting too lost!

    I do think cruises are one of the best places to try new foods, because generally the food is all included, and the crew are generally happy to bring you something else if you don't like a new food.

    I loved that shirt dress on you so much from one of the previous vlogs of this trip that you convinced me to buy it for myself! You've officially influenced me 😁. When it arrived, I modeled it for my Mom and she said it reminded her of the old pinstrip nurse uniforms they used to wear back in the day. I still love it though, perfect for the summer - on a day out or to work.

    Loving watching your cruise videos! 😍 I’ve never considered cruising before but now it’s top of my list! You have changed my perspective on cruising, I never knew how amazing it could be 🥰
    My question for your Q&A video is.. would you recommend cruising to somebody who experiences travel/motion sickness? Being a large ship, can you feel the rocking of the boat?
    Can’t wait for your next video, as always 😊

    is cruising more affordable then catching a flight, seperate accom and meals? What if you rather see more of the place your travelling then activities on the ship? Can you hop on and off easily?

    Was there an option to stay in your room longer as you didn't leave the ship until 3pm but had to be out the room at 9? Also were you worried about leaving your belongings in the corridor incase someone had a root through and took anything? ❤

  • @MF-wb8hn
    @MF-wb8hn Рік тому

    I have loved these vlogs so much! You mentioned leaving your bags outside the room on your last night - how do you get your luggage when you board the ship at the start of the trip? Does it work the other way in that luggage is brought to your room or do you have to collect it from somewhere / have it with you from the airport? Also, love that shirt dress!

    I also say goodbye to my hotel rooms - they were my home for a little while! 💜
    I'm not sure if you'd be able to answer this (and someone else can if there's anyone who knows!), but I don't have anyone who will go on a trip with me, so I normally solo travel. I've visited 12 countries that way and I'm pretty comfortable doing it, but I'm scared to do a cruise solo!
    Would it be weird for me to join activities or eat dinner on a cruise by myself? Would I end up at a table with a bunch of strangers? Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Or is it designed for people in couples/families and I'd feel out of place?
