    Is this the Perfect Caribbean Cruise Experience? It is if you love deserted little beaches and friendly, ramshackled beach bars. We take you along with us on board Ponant's gorgeous Le Dumont d'Urville for 12 nights of the most beautiful little islands we've ever seen in the Lesser Antilles region of the Eastern Caribbean. In this final episode we visit Greneda, Tobago Cays and Mayreau Island in St Vincent & The Grenadines and Pigeon Island Beach in St Lucia. This review is relevant to all Ponant Explorer Class ships which are Le Laperouse, Le Champlain, Le Bougainville, Le Dumont d'Urville, Le Bellot and Le Jacques Cartier.

    It must be presumed that Richard was on his best "posh" behavior at the Captain's table. Love the views of sea, sky, sun, and clouds. Also, the Steel Band Christmas Carols were delightful.

    Outstanding series! Such a treat to view your vlogs and live vicariously through your travels. Gentlemen Rich and lovely Helen are a joy to watch. The food looked amazing, ship was beautiful especially the Christmas Decorations and such great service. Views so spectacular. My husband and I in the 1990 were traveling up the coast of California from where we live and saw a green flash 🌟 Just off Santa Barbara ❤
    Thank you for sharing your travels and experiences Kathy

    I ended up on vacation in PEI Canada during Hurricane Earl, we swam in the pool and went in the hot tub drinking wine. Still holds a strong wonderful memory for me. So glad to see you still having fun.

    Beautiful ship and Christmas decorations! Hate those shipping container view, though. Eggs Benedict and chocolate chip pancakes look scrumptious. Those windows underwater are so cool. How lucky to see that beautiful sunset and green flash-beautiful! Great filming of the Zodiac “launcher.” Lovely sea turtle and underwater filming!

    Okay. You guys may be pretty down-to-earth, to be sure. But yer also some of the most cinematically posh people, and NO…okay! It’s not JUST the refined British accents. I know I keep bringing this up, but I want to look like Rich in 20 to 30 years. Those are some life goals right there. Maybe it’s that veritable discipline that contributes to all the posh qualities of your dispositions and production value.
    In other news, are there caviar samples on your Patreon? Man. Ponant looks so ideal. All my tropical French dreams come true. Even in the rain. That’s a romantic comedy just waiting to happen. Plot twist is that you guys were married the whole time (I don’t think that’s ever been done before). With a LITTLE Mr and Mrs Smith British edition on the side. Yes. That’ll make it big in the box office. The big lobsters in the trailers (le bande-announce) will draw the people in.

    Great series, as always. We're going to many... maybe all... of the islands in your series next spring on Seabourn. Lovely preview for us. Do you bring your own snorkel gear? Or at least facemask and snorkel?

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  8 місяців тому

      We tend to take our own snorkelling gear though Rich always moans about how useless his is 😂

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  8 місяців тому +1

      It’s up there with some of the best food we’ve eaten though we’ve been lucky enough to enjoy some fabulous dining options on lots of ships but one of our favourite ships for dining has to be Regent Splendor 😋
