Vacation foreplay! You are so funny and yes, I enjoy that too. That's how I found your channel. I always research the places I will visit, the ships, the cabins, and more. I had fun with the part in which the tour guide was putting you to sleep in the bus. I would have paid her to keep it quiet. There are some pretty good tour guides, but some are terrible! LOL!! In Venice I had one that counted us in the group every 5 minutes!! We felt like preschoolers! She even asked us to stand in pairs to count us (she lost the count many, many times) and then she was replaced by one wh was literally running around the crowded San Marco square and she could not care less if someone got lost (I did for some minutes) for giving bad directions and recommendations. I cannot wait for your next video!! Don't make us wait that long! 🤣
Our longest cruise has been a 14 night b2b. Last day we stay in our cabin even on 12 and 11 night cruises that aren't b2b and order room service. Get tired of seeing people. Have a 16 night transatlantic on Celebrity booked for April from Tampa to Italy. A real test... Older ship price made it hard to resist. Love the great production value you put into your videos.
Another great blog - le bistro looked great and I start think out the meal as soon as we book - transatlantic never done but love sea days - 14 night Manutius Seychelles Africa coming up with a few sea days to relax - looking forward to next - so pleased your back on top form
Bram, i love you and your videos. Now we know you can have a grumpy side! Lol. Thanks for the good work. Next summer, I will visit Barcelona, Malaga and Cadiz. On a Princess cruise. Your video was perfect for our needs!
@@BRAMSEASTHEDAY Hello Bram. I will be on Majestic Princess. It will be our first cruise with that company. It will be my second cruise from a European port. Last August, we were on NCL Pearl and we went to Santorini. We kept thinking about your Santorini video where you showcased the donkeys. That made us laugh so much. We took the cable car! :-)
@@benoittourangeau6248 I will be on that ship next Friday! And going to Santorini again (but will opt for the cable car. I have to, you know, for the vlogs 😉😉😉)
@@BRAMSEASTHEDAY You will love it. I hope you will spend more time in Trieste than we did. Charming city. Kotor, Dubrovnik and Split are truely amazing. Get out early! It worth it. Does your girlfriend like cats? Kotor is the city of cats! :-) The Bistro is very good on that ship. I suggest you try the lamb dish. It is my favorite. I can not wait to see your next video.
Happy Anniversary 🤣 Brilliant vlog as always, thanks for sharing! A bit of wait until we're back on the Breakaway when we sail out of New York in late February 2026, a couple of other cruises before then. Best of wishes to you both!
Enjoyed this journey very much! We will be embarking in 46 days for our transatlantic cruise on the Encore. I am currently in the anticipation part of my trip (love your phrase "cruise foreplay"!). We've had a change of itinerary already (no Lisbon or Vigo - now A Coruna and Bruges) but we're good with that. Fingers crossed we have pleasant weather!
@@susanboon4605 Bruges is where I live, so I can only say "that change of itinerary is for the better!" I wouldn't plan time by the pool Susan, chances are pretty low end of October 🫣 But you'll have a great cruise no doubt! Enjoy!
Great vlog ! We’ve been on the Breakaway twice and loved it. We also have been hesitant to take a transatlantic cruise but I think you have convinced us to do it !! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Love it...we are on Breakaway on 18th January thanks for another great vlog. We had a similar tour in Croatia with an endless talking guide who made me think of ways to stop her talking. Luckily I fell asleep. 💤
Very very good vlog! We are living the cruise with you! I can't wait till the next one! When are you going to sail again? Is it already decided? Bon baisers du Québec!😊😊😊
Lisbon is right there! Three hours will give you time to explore the castle, the main squares, and more, WALKING! But it's your choice. You were misinformed.
@@jlizardi5013 yes we were. A flyer in our cabin warned us about a 1 hour commute... 🙈🙈 We could have just walked there! Oh well, it's only a 2 hour flight for us, so we'll back 😎

Great series. Well done and informative. I might even count our drinks on the Breakaway in November and compare to your past totals.
@@johncaceci8656 thank you. Keep in mind we only counted the ones we had when together. Have a great cruise!

Hubby and I are doing a TA on the Escape November 26 out of Barcelona. Your reviews are excellent and I’m confident I’ll make some good choices.
@@canadianfarmgal my favorite ship! I wish you good weather and a happy cruise!

We missed you! Happy to see you are still cruising! Looking forward to the vlog.
I missed you too! It's been TOO long 🙈
We love a transatlantic cruise they are so relaxing and the only time I truly switch off. I felt your sadness when it was all over 😢
Very nicely said: "truly switch off". That's exactly what it is! 🥰
