This is my favourite QM2 Video! I appreciate you all instead of trying to make it a TV like production showed how the real experience was and had fun! We're looking forward to our trip soon even more because of this video!
Hi Jake , thank you very much that is some accolade it being your favourite QM2 video . It’s how we do all our vlogs , really we just show ourselves having fun around the ship and hopefully giving a bit of information. We hope you have a fantastic and memorable time onboard QM2 . Many thanks for watching our vlog and for the wonderful comment. 👋👋
48 years, happy anniversary and congratulations 🥂 what a great team you make ❤ The ship looks wonderful, very traditional and love all the vintage photos and pictures. The art deco theme really does add the glamour to the ship. The food looked very nice and the menu had lots of nice dishes to choose from. Thank you for making another wonderful episode 👏
Hi Guys , thank you very much , 48 years bloody hell that has flown by. Your right the ship really was a beauty , the interior was so well maintained , as you say very glamorous. The food was definitely a step up from P&O but then you’re paying more for the pleasure. Thanks for watching guys glad you enjoyed it .XX👋👋
Thanks Sara , 48 years 😫 I must admit the time has flown by. Glad you enjoyed it we certainly did . It was great to try a different cruise line instead of P&O or Princess. Thanks very much for watching Sara . XX👋👋❤️
Thank you Denise, we had a great time onboard QM2 it’s a beautiful ship . A great way to celebrate our anniversary. Another two vlogs to come in this series.Glad you enjoyed the first one , thanks for watching and for your kind anniversary wishes. XX👋👋
Happy anniversary folks, the ship looks great, I forgot to say , mustang looked great, friend of mine had a Mach one same colour as yours, my first father-in-law was a bosun on Cunard in the 70's / 80's. looking forward to seeing the next Vlogs. once again happy anniversary . Percy.
Thanks Percy , the ship was great , a bit of a step up from what we have been on recently. How interesting that he was on Cunard as a bosun . My Dad and son were in the Royal Navy. Car is our pride and joy had it from new 2016. May have to sell it soon as insurance and tax is getting crazy. Next week is Pearl trying to be posh having afternoon tea. Thanks as always Percy , take care .👋👋
Hi Linda , yes 48 years is a bit of an achievement . Don’t know how we managed it at times 😂🤣. We had a fantastic time thank you , a bit like Pearl short but sweet. It was only 3 nights but it gave us a taster . Thanks very much for watching Linda xx ❤️👋👋
Congratulations to you both on your 48th anniversary that’s amazing. Loved the 1st part of Queen Mary she really is beautiful. Very quirky we thought when we went on a short trip. Pearl looked lovely in that dress and glad the shoes stayed intact😂 look forward to part 2 x
Thanks Mandy 🙏 yes that is quite a long time I must admit. Scary thing is it’s flown by . Glad you enjoyed the first out of three QM2 vlogs , and yes what a beautiful ship . Like you ours was only a short trip , it really was to see if Cunard would be for us . Pearl had on the dress that she wore at our daughter’s wedding, a few years ago now . And yes she didn’t break anything as far as I can remember 😂 . Thanks very much for the comment and for watching, take care Mandy XX👋👋
Hi Guys , yes we had a great anniversary thank you . We really enjoyed the ship , as we said many times it was very grande . Loved the sail away , and for a twenty year old ship we thought the rooms were still very nice . Thanks very much for watching guys .👋👋🥂
Fantastic first vlog on QM2, loved seeing you both enjoying yourself and looking forward to seeing more. Can,t wait until we experience the ship next year, congratulations on your anniversary.😊
Hi DangerMouse , thank you so much glad that you enjoyed it . Hopefully it gave you a very basic idea on what to expect. 48 years where has that time gone , it’s flown by . Thank you as always for watching and your continued support. Hope you have a great experience next year . XX👋👋❤️
I just love your vlogs. You give such a good view of what each day is like, from the meals to excursions and entertainment. You both have such fun personalities. Happy anniversary from Florida!
Hi Lori , thank you very much for the kind comments. We try and give a bit of information but done with a bit of fun .Always amazed when you find out people half way around the world have watched. Thanks again from cloudy Uk 👋👋🥂
Thanks guys , we had a fantastic time On QM2 . Really classy ship , next time it’s afternoon tea and Pearl being posh ..😫. Thanks very much for watching.👋👋
Good to see you both back and a very Happy Anniversary! Wonderful way for you to celebrate. It all looks so nice, and elegant. I like Pearl's dress, but she seemed to be a little nervous about the fit. Tell her she looked great! I so enjoy the two of you, and your adventures. I understand the Queen Mary 2 is expensive, so I understand just the three days. Excited for next week. Hope your weather is better then it was. Our weather is up and down. Still not much rain, which we really need. Everyone is well here, and hope all of you are as well.
Good afternoon Rene hope you are all well . Thank you very much 48 years sounds like a life time , but it has gone by really quickly which is a bit scary. We really enjoyed this ship , very grande and very well looked after . A throwback to older style cruising. I have passed on your comments concerning Pearls dress , and she was very pleased. We have had a lot of dry weather recently and quite hot at times . Hope you get your much needed rain soon , it’s a shame it couldn’t rain at night then be dry during the day , that would be perfect. Next week is Afternoon tea onboard so hopefully you will enjoy it . Take care Rene hopefully speak next week.X❤️👋
Hi Nicola , hope you had a great time in Cornwall it looked amazing. It was great to meet you and your family as well . Your Mum made me laugh 😂 . Thanks for following along and we might bump into you on another cruise.XX❤️❤️👋👋
Thanks Teresa , so pleased that you enjoyed our Cunard vlog . As we said it was our first try of Cunard , hence it only being 3 nights. But we have a taste now , and we would love to do more . QM2 must look spectacular in December with all the Christmas decorations. We hope you have a wonderful time .👋👋❤️❤️
Hi Guys , hope you are both well . We loved it once we could find our way around 😂 . We can see why it’s your favourite. 48 years 😱 where’s that time gone , a bit scary actually. Next one has Pearl trying to be posh having afternoon tea .😫 . Thanks Guys 👋👋🥂
Welcome back Pearl and Brian. Oh la di da it’s Cunard don’t you know! Looking forward to this one! Loving the new map facility you have done Pearl was funny when she said she was looking at the square building and your square face Pearl looked stunning in the red dress 💃🏼 We were saying about the dining tables looking very close together and you mentioned it in your summary, it was a bit too cosy!! Great first day, looking forward to the next one. Have a great week, take care xx
Hi Al , thank you very much we had a great time on QM2 . Not the most exciting itinerary but it was great to experience the ship . We always like to sing our way on to the ship😫 Yes that’s what I get compared to nowadays a square building. That red dress is one she bought for our daughter’s wedding, so she will love the compliment. Thank you , I said the tables were very close together but Madam said not any different from other ships . Glad you enjoyed it , afternoon tea next week. Have a great week many thanks as always xx❤️❤️👋👋
Congratulations on your anniversary 🎉🎉. Loved this first Cunard vlog and what a wonderful embarkation day you had. Can’t wait to see what day 2 brings. I’m excited as I’m going on my first Cunard cruise next year 😊

Hi Karen , thank you so much what a lovely surprise. Receiving best wishes all the way from Colorado. We still find it amazing that people on the other side of the world are watching our vlogs. Thanks again Karen and of course thanks very much for watching.❤️
Hi both, happy belated anniversary wishes, loved the vlog, entertaining as always, was interesting to see your initial thoughts on Cunard, looking forward to the rest of the vlogs, as have never thought of looking at a Cunard cruise before, and you seem like lovely normal down to earth people, who holiday similar to me, so great that you tried Cunard and let us know what you thought of it, thanks again for the great content 😊
Hi Angela , thank you very much for the anniversary wishes. Great to hear that you enjoyed the vlog . We didn’t know what to expect to be fair , we thought it might be a bit stuffy for us . But far from it just ordinary people enjoying themselves. It is more expensive and you have the daily service charge , but we would still love to do another one . Such an elegant looking ship as well , the inside areas are stunning. Thanks Angela for watching and your kind comment. X❤️❤️👋👋
Hi Sue , thank you very much good to hear that you enjoyed it . We certainly enjoyed our first mini cruise on Cunard. Take care and many thanks for watching. XX👋❤️

Hi Guys , thank you , yes quite an achievement 48 years . Don’t know how we haven’t killed each other in that time 🤣. It is a beautiful ship , so much history and grandeur about her . Thank you very much for the messy and for watching.👋👋🥂
We’ve just returned from around the UK cruise on Arcadia so only just caught up with your latest log. So belated happy anniversary to you both and thank you for your entertaining and informative vlogs. Just noticed no.2 vlog on Cunard is on so will watch now. 🍾🥂
Hi , thank you , yes 48 years 😱. Hope you had a fantastic time on Arcadia . Really pleased that you are enjoying the vlogs and appreciate you following along on our trips. Cunard was great we had a brilliant time , and yes part 2 is up now. Thanks again.👋👋🙏🥂
Just catching up after our travels - thanks for the mention 😊 Really looking forward to these vlogs as we still cant decide if Cunard is for us. You should give Pearl a bucket of wine more often - great entertainment 😂
Thanks Stuart , your trip looked fantastic. Are thinking of doing the same sort of trip but not until 26 for our 50 th anniversary. Cunard was great , ordinary people not stuffy at all , beautiful ship lots of charm and character. Pearl will drink anything as long as it’s in a bucket 😂. Thanks for watching and welcome home .👋👋
Thanks Nigel , 48 years 😱 bloody hell that sounds a long time , but it seems to have gone really quickly . Glad you enjoyed the video , we had a lot of fun doing it . Thanks for watching Nigel 👋👋🥂
Hi Guys , thank you very much for those kind wishes. 48 years , blimey that’s two life sentences. We loved the ship , a bit of an upgrade from the latest P+O ship . We certainly will keep up the vlogs , next week Pearl is trying to be posh . Thanks for watching guys 👋👋
A big congratulations on your anniversary from both of us. Again, loved watching the vlog and laughed throughout! Paula's in love with your home conservatory and is now nagging the life out of me for one... following you guys is starting to look expensive 🤣
Hi Chris & Paula . Thank you, 48 years it wears me out just saying the number 😂. Thanks for watching and really pleased it gave you a few laughs. Sorry about the Conservatory Chris 😂 although it is usually used for the Youngest Granddaughters toys 😫. Hope you are both keeping well , great to hear from you .❤️❤️👋👋

Congratulations on your 48th wedding anniversary ❤ What a great vlog, we are super excited for the rest of this series. Loved seeing Pearl singing to ABBA - see you next week. Xx
Hi Guys , thank you .. bloody hell 48 years I’d be out a long time ago . Cruise ships love a bit of Abba 💃. Next week includes Pearl having afternoon tea 😱😱. Thanks for all the support guys ❤️❤️
Morning Marecia , thank you we had a great anniversary. Pearl got that particular dress for our daughter’s wedding quite a few years ago . She dusts it off now and then especially for on a cruise. Thank you for watching Marecia ❤️❤️👋👋
Hi Dominic , thank you so much we had a great and memorable anniversary. Loved the QM2 would love to do another one . Thanks very much for watching Dominic.👋👋
Thank you Sarah , she’s a changed woman now her days of drinking buckets of wine are over . Unfortunately it’s Champagne now 🥂😂🤣 Thank you Sarah glad you enjoyed it XX❤️❤️👋👋
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I actually had a dream about you both last night and woke up laughing. You were sitting in for Ben Shepherd and Cat Deeley, presenting This Morning and had cruise Vloggers, Travel Vlog Jamie doing the cooking,Brogan Tate as travel expert and Carole and Paul Morgan doing what the Speakmans do, and then Pearl was on the panel of Loose Women and you, Brian, was a contestant on Tipping Point. Oh, I hope it's a recurring dream as it put me in a good mood all day. Love to Pearl, and if you can book November 8th, Iona, for the Canaries, the drinks are on me. Or if you ever fancy visiting Nottingham, you have a place to stay, Gratis of course.
😂😂🤣 best comment ever , sounds more like a nightmare to me 😂. Definitely see Pearl on Loose women, and I could definitely do a bit of tipping point. I usually sit with the Granddaughter and watch it , she gets excited when the counters all come down. Unfortunately we will be saving very hard in November as we are back on Iona in December for Northern Europe and hopefully some Christmas markets. But we hope you have a fantastic time and get some great weather. Thanks again Tony for the fantastic comment and the kind offer , hopefully you sleep a bit better tonight , no more nightmares 😂👋👋
Ahoy, Happy Anniversary Pearl & Brian, we hope you celebrated in style in the Pomagne Bar 🙂 Can't wait to see if you visited Weymouth, we recently cycled down to look at the QM2 when she was in Portland on June 1. Anyway keep up the good work and hope I paths cross one day at sea and we can crack open a bottle of Pomagne or cheap £5 wine and have a boogie with Pearl J&J x
Ahoy Johnny , thank you very much ,we certainly did celebrate but I limited Pearl to one glass of bubbly 😂 . Your message really made us laugh 🤣 so thank you . So we were onboard when you cycled down to Portland , we stayed on the ship that day to do some exploring and filming . We stayed in the Holiday Park just down the road last year looking over Chesil Beach, and went into Weymouth for the day . I have been to Weymouth on lots of occasions as my Dad was stationed at Yeovilton back in the day . That sounds like a perfect plan, cruising , cheep plonk, and dancing ,see you onboard 😂 . Thanks again for such a great comment and of course for watching our vlogs . P&B XX👋
Love the video. Anyone can tell that you both love cruising and your enjoyment and natural-ness come across. Just booked a transatlantic on QM2 for next year and really can’t wait. Have seen other bloggers really down and criticise Cunard - such bloggers are getting a bit commercial (and annoying) I think. Cruising vids should be about the love of travel and love of cruising and FUN! Yours are! Continued happy future travels! ❤️
Hi Jay Tee , thank you glad you enjoyed it . We loved our first time on a Cunard ship and would love to do another. Transatlantic sounds absolutely fantastic, especially on such a great ship . Yes we agree with you , we dont criticise for the sake of it . If something needs being brought to the attention of people that might help them then yes we would definitely do that . We do try and have as much fun as we can on our travels, and we are very pleased that you think it shows. Thank you so much for the lovely comments and of course for watching our video.❤️❤️👋👋
Hi Yvonne, I think Pearl was pleased with the flowers 🌷. But I don’t think she appreciated all the effort I put in 😂 I agree that dress looked great on her , a fantastic colour. Thanks as always Yvonne XX❤️👋👋
We are going on Queen Mary in October so looking forward to the rest of the series, we have been on Queen Victoria a couple of times and the golden lion is always our favourite venue also cunard have the most amazing libraries on ships that we have ever seen.
Hi Rae , hope you have fun on Queen Mary in October, something to look forward to as the nights are drawing in . We will have to try another Cunard experience like Victoria, as we really enjoyed QM2 . We did find the Library on the last day , and yes it was huge . Thanks for watching Rae x👋👋❤️
Hi Molly , thank you I knew I was right those tables were very close ., Not ideal for filming .It was great for us to try another cruise line , and we loved it , would definitely do another. Thanks for watching Molly . Xx❤️
What a wonderful surprise tonight when I turned on YT to find a new vlog, Happy Anniversary, you two. 48 years wow.🎉🎉🎉 I've realised you never stay the night in Southampton the day before, I would be too worried about that bloody M25😂 Some lovely funny moments in this vlog, take my hat off to Pearl, that women does not give a dam,I love that. Brian, you have style, my friend. You always look so dapper. Great vlog.😂😂🎉
Thanks Mate , yes 48 years that is a long time when you think about it . I know we do take a bit of a risk with not staying a bit closer to the port. Yeah Pearl was being Pearl , no airs and graces with Madam. Thanks mate I will take looking dapper any day 😂 . Glad you enjoyed it Marc thanks very much as usual, have a great week 👋👋🥂
Hi Guys , thank you very much . It was a great way to celebrate by trying Cunard and we thoroughly enjoyed it . Thanks for the message and of course for watching. Xx❤️👋
😂😂 Hi Tony , part 2 is on Sunday at the usual time . Its Cherbourg then afternoon tea with Pearl trying to be posh 🤣 then Gala evening .Hope you enjoy it 👍👋
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I know we will, Quadruple P (Predictable Pinot Posh Pearl) And your good self are a great double act. Keep it up ( as the actress said to the vicar)
Hi Mimry , we definitely got slippers but we didn’t have any robes . Yes there was definitely conditioner , hope this helps . Thanks very much for watching and for your question.👋👋
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Yoy should have gotten robes - in Britannia they are the 'waffle weave' cotton robes, the Grills pax get softer terrycloth - and the soft robes are the ones available for sale. Back in 2022 our steward/housekeeping needed a nudge to supply robes.
Hi , as it was our first Cunard cruise we didn’t know what to expect to be fair . Thanks very much for the information it will come in handy for future cruises with Cunard.
Arr bless you both on 48 happy years together❤ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY🥳🥳💝❤️❤️🩹❤️🔥💕💞. and . both still having fun lovely we can all take example from you both 😊. Would have been lovely if you had found a wedding photo to show us 😊 . Can't believe you havent got one in a frame somewhere lol 😅. That square building Pearl that you said looks like Brians square face lol , while you was on the dartford bridge is right next to the building i work in ,did you see me wave 👋 lol. Beautiful regal ship 🚢 you both certainly pack alot in one day but never look tired ,Pearl is a wonder how she dances 💃 and dances and still looks amazing ,one of my fav dresses tonight absolutely stunning Pearl ❤️ thoroughly enjoyed the vlog makes you feel happy after watching thank you both .look forward to the next one take care A&J ❤🎉✨️👋👋👋👋
Hi A+J , thank you very much for such a lovely message including the anniversary wishes . 48 Years , how time flys we must be having fun 😂. I thought I could see someone waving as we went over the bridge, I nearly drove into the Thames 🤣. We had a fun time onboard QM2 and yes great description very regal . I think it harks back to old style cruising. Yes Pearl is always up on that dance floor, but I did have to get up first to get the party started 💃😂. One of my favourite dresses as well, I wear it all the time when she’s not around 😀. Thanks A+J glad you enjoyed the vlog thanks very much for watching.XX❤️❤️👋👋
Hello Peeps! Was wondering when our next installment from you would be, and here you are, what a lovely surprise. CONGRATULATIONS on 48 years, you must have married young!! were you 12? Glad you enjoyed your first night. Gotta ask, what the chuff is a 'pilifer?' of cauliflower??? And yes Pearl, I agree with your 'meh gur feh' comments while eating your night time chocolate. .. WELCOME BACK BOTH
Hi Glenda, yes we are back for three more episodes. So hope you enjoy them . Thank you for the Anniversary wishes, I was actually Nine and Pearl was sixteen, I liked an older woman 😂. As for the Cauliflower,🤣I haven’t got a clue they just like to put fancy names in front of things so they can charge a bit more . She couldn’t wait to get that chocolate in her gob then chomp away right in my ear hole. 🤣😂 . Thanks Glenda glad you enjoyed it , look out for next week Pearl try’s to be posh having afternoon tea .😫xx❤️👋👋
Congrats on your anniversary! I’m sure you had a wonderful time and I look forward to the positive vlogs. We stopped watching Ben & David as no matter what they do, they are 80% negative and accentuate what they perceive as bad. Your vlogs tell us if you don’t like something but you don’t go on about it like B&J
Thank you , and yes we had a brilliant time and would love to do another one in the future. We just try to be ourselves and give a bit of information whilst having fun . Thank you very much for such positive comments and of course for watching. Have a great week 👋👋🥂
Hi , good job you didn’t subscribe as there is a lot of that sort of banter between us . It’s not said with any malicious intent . Thanks for watching anyway.
Still making each other laugh after 48 years. Surely a recipe for success. 🥰 your videos on a Sunday night are the perfect antidote to work on Monday! 💚💚
Sometimes it’s making each other cry 😭 😂 . Yes your totally correct laughter is definitely the correct recipe for staying together.

Happy Anniversary! From Colorado, USA
Hi Karen , thank you so much what a lovely surprise. Receiving best wishes all the way from Colorado. We still find it amazing that people on the other side of the world are watching our vlogs. Thanks again Karen and of course thanks very much for watching.❤️
Hi both, happy belated anniversary wishes, loved the vlog, entertaining as always, was interesting to see your initial thoughts on Cunard, looking forward to the rest of the vlogs, as have never thought of looking at a Cunard cruise before, and you seem like lovely normal down to earth people, who holiday similar to me, so great that you tried Cunard and let us know what you thought of it, thanks again for the great content 😊
Hi Angela , thank you very much for the anniversary wishes. Great to hear that you enjoyed the vlog . We didn’t know what to expect to be fair , we thought it might be a bit stuffy for us . But far from it just ordinary people enjoying themselves. It is more expensive and you have the daily service charge , but we would still love to do another one . Such an elegant looking ship as well , the inside areas are stunning. Thanks Angela for watching and your kind comment. X❤️❤️👋👋
So excited for this series of vlogs!! 😊
Thanks Sharnie , hope they don’t disappoint. We had a great time on board QM2 , she is a very elegant ship . Hope you enjoy.xx❤️👋

Really looking forward to these vlogs as we still cant decide if Cunard is for us.
You should give Pearl a bucket of wine more often - great entertainment 😂
Thanks Stuart , your trip looked fantastic. Are thinking of doing the same sort of trip but not until 26 for our 50 th anniversary. Cunard was great , ordinary people not stuffy at all , beautiful ship lots of charm and character.
Pearl will drink anything as long as it’s in a bucket 😂. Thanks for watching and welcome home .👋👋
Yes the trip was amazing - so may fantastic memories 😊- let us know if we can help plan for your 50th aniversary

Hi Guys , thank you very much for those kind wishes. 48 years , blimey that’s two life sentences. We loved the ship , a bit of an upgrade from the latest P+O ship . We certainly will keep up the vlogs , next week Pearl is trying to be posh . Thanks for watching guys 👋👋
A big congratulations on your anniversary from both of us. Again, loved watching the vlog and laughed throughout! Paula's in love with your home conservatory and is now nagging the life out of me for one... following you guys is starting to look expensive 🤣
Hi Chris & Paula . Thank you, 48 years it wears me out just saying the number 😂. Thanks for watching and really pleased it gave you a few laughs. Sorry about the Conservatory Chris 😂 although it is usually used for the Youngest Granddaughters toys 😫. Hope you are both keeping well , great to hear from you .❤️❤️👋👋

“Getting Fed up with wine” never thought I would here fluff say that 😂 Another great video ❤ Glad your back 🎉 Happy Anniversary (Again) xxxXxxx
Thank you Sarah , she’s a changed woman now her days of drinking buckets of wine are over . Unfortunately it’s Champagne now 🥂😂🤣 Thank you Sarah glad you enjoyed it XX❤️❤️👋👋
Been looking forward to this, I know you won't disappoint
Hi Tony , thanks mate , yeah much the same as any other cruise but Pearl was warned 🤣😂👋👋
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I actually had a dream about you both last night and woke up laughing. You were sitting in for Ben Shepherd and Cat Deeley, presenting This Morning and had cruise Vloggers, Travel Vlog Jamie doing the cooking,Brogan Tate as travel expert and Carole and Paul Morgan doing what the Speakmans do, and then Pearl was on the panel of Loose Women and you, Brian, was a contestant on Tipping Point. Oh, I hope it's a recurring dream as it put me in a good mood all day. Love to Pearl, and if you can book November 8th, Iona, for the Canaries, the drinks are on me. Or if you ever fancy visiting Nottingham, you have a place to stay, Gratis of course.
😂😂🤣 best comment ever , sounds more like a nightmare to me 😂. Definitely see Pearl on Loose women, and I could definitely do a bit of tipping point. I usually sit with the Granddaughter and watch it , she gets excited when the counters all come down. Unfortunately we will be saving very hard in November as we are back on Iona in December for Northern Europe and hopefully some Christmas markets. But we hope you have a fantastic time and get some great weather. Thanks again Tony for the fantastic comment and the kind offer , hopefully you sleep a bit better tonight , no more nightmares 😂👋👋
Ahoy, Happy Anniversary Pearl & Brian, we hope you celebrated in style in the Pomagne Bar 🙂 Can't wait to see if you visited Weymouth, we recently cycled down to look at the QM2 when she was in Portland on June 1. Anyway keep up the good work and hope I paths cross one day at sea and we can crack open a bottle of Pomagne or cheap £5 wine and have a boogie with Pearl J&J x
Ahoy Johnny , thank you very much ,we certainly did celebrate but I limited Pearl to one glass of bubbly 😂 . Your message really made us laugh 🤣 so thank you . So we were onboard when you cycled down to Portland , we stayed on the ship that day to do some exploring and filming . We stayed in the Holiday Park just down the road last year looking over Chesil Beach, and went into Weymouth for the day . I have been to Weymouth on lots of occasions as my Dad was stationed at Yeovilton back in the day .
That sounds like a perfect plan, cruising , cheep plonk, and dancing ,see you onboard 😂 . Thanks again for such a great comment and of course for watching our vlogs . P&B XX👋
Love the video. Anyone can tell that you both love cruising and your enjoyment and natural-ness come across. Just booked a transatlantic on QM2 for next year and really can’t wait. Have seen other bloggers really down and criticise Cunard - such bloggers are getting a bit commercial (and annoying) I think. Cruising vids should be about the love of travel and love of cruising and FUN! Yours are! Continued happy future travels! ❤️
Hi Jay Tee , thank you glad you enjoyed it . We loved our first time on a Cunard ship and would love to do another. Transatlantic sounds absolutely fantastic, especially on such a great ship . Yes we agree with you , we dont criticise for the sake of it . If something needs being brought to the attention of people that might help them then yes we would definitely do that . We do try and have as much fun as we can on our travels, and we are very pleased that you think it shows. Thank you so much for the lovely comments and of course for watching our video.❤️❤️👋👋
Most welcome. Enjoy your future travels! ❤️
Congratulations l hope Pearl appreciated them lovely flowers that wouldn’t fit in your cabin lol and pearls dress was lovely ❤
Hi Yvonne, I think Pearl was pleased with the flowers 🌷. But I don’t think she appreciated all the effort I put in 😂 I agree that dress looked great on her , a fantastic colour. Thanks as always Yvonne XX❤️👋👋
We are going on Queen Mary in October so looking forward to the rest of the series, we have been on Queen Victoria a couple of times and the golden lion is always our favourite venue also cunard have the most amazing libraries on ships that we have ever seen.
Hi Rae , hope you have fun on Queen Mary in October, something to look forward to as the nights are drawing in . We will have to try another Cunard experience like Victoria, as we really enjoyed QM2 . We did find the Library on the last day , and yes it was huge . Thanks for watching Rae x👋👋❤️
Tables for 2 did look a bit close with the lady next to pearl 😂lovely to see new cruise 🚢
Hi Molly , thank you I knew I was right those tables were very close ., Not ideal for filming .It was great for us to try another cruise line , and we loved it , would definitely do another. Thanks for watching Molly . Xx❤️
Another great vlog 🛳️x
Morning Lorna , thank you 🙏 glad that you enjoyed it . Xx❤️❤️👋👋
What a wonderful surprise tonight when I turned on YT to find a new vlog, Happy Anniversary, you two.
48 years wow.🎉🎉🎉
I've realised you never stay the night in Southampton the day before, I would be too worried about that bloody M25😂
Some lovely funny moments in this vlog, take my hat off to Pearl, that women does not give a dam,I love that.
Brian, you have style, my friend. You always look so dapper.
Great vlog.😂😂🎉
Thanks Mate , yes 48 years that is a long time when you think about it .
I know we do take a bit of a risk with not staying a bit closer to the port.
Yeah Pearl was being Pearl , no airs and graces with Madam. Thanks mate I will take looking dapper any day 😂 . Glad you enjoyed it Marc thanks very much as usual, have a great week 👋👋🥂
Happy Anniversary! 🥂❤️
Hi Guys , thank you very much . It was a great way to celebrate by trying Cunard and we thoroughly enjoyed it . Thanks for the message and of course for watching. Xx❤️👋
Happy Anniversary

@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I know we will, Quadruple P (Predictable Pinot Posh Pearl)
And your good self are a great double act. Keep it up ( as the actress said to the vicar)
@tonynightingale7356 🤣😂 Cheers Tony , I’m doing my best 😀
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 🤣
Congratulations
Thank you Iona , and thank you for watching our Cunard adventure.❤️👋
In a sheltered cabin, do you get robe and slippers? Also is their conditioner please? Some say not but it was on the Anne. Thanks
Hi Mimry , we definitely got slippers but we didn’t have any robes . Yes there was definitely conditioner , hope this helps . Thanks very much for watching and for your question.👋👋
Hi Mimry an update ,after double checking with Pearl I can confirm that there was no conditioner. Slippers yes , robe and conditioner no .
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Yoy should have gotten robes - in Britannia they are the 'waffle weave' cotton robes, the Grills pax get softer terrycloth - and the soft robes are the ones available for sale. Back in 2022 our steward/housekeeping needed a nudge to supply robes.
@dl11950 ah right. If I don't get a robe I'll ask for it when I'm on the Mary next June. Thank you
Hi , as it was our first Cunard cruise we didn’t know what to expect to be fair . Thanks very much for the information it will come in handy for future cruises with Cunard.
Arr bless you both on 48 happy years together❤ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY🥳🥳💝❤️❤️🩹❤️🔥💕💞. and . both still having fun lovely we can all take example from you both 😊. Would have been lovely if you had found a wedding photo to show us 😊 . Can't believe you havent got one in a frame somewhere lol 😅. That square building Pearl that you said looks like Brians square face lol , while you was on the dartford bridge is right next to the building i work in ,did you see me wave 👋 lol. Beautiful regal ship 🚢 you both certainly pack alot in one day but never look tired ,Pearl is a wonder how she dances 💃 and dances and still looks amazing ,one of my fav dresses tonight absolutely stunning Pearl ❤️ thoroughly enjoyed the vlog makes you feel happy after watching thank you both .look forward to the next one take care A&J ❤🎉✨️👋👋👋👋
Hi A+J , thank you very much for such a lovely message including the anniversary wishes . 48 Years , how time flys we must be having fun 😂. I thought I could see someone waving as we went over the bridge, I nearly drove into the Thames 🤣. We had a fun time onboard QM2 and yes great description very regal . I think it harks back to old style cruising. Yes Pearl is always up on that dance floor, but I did have to get up first to get the party started 💃😂. One of my favourite dresses as well, I wear it all the time when she’s not around 😀. Thanks A+J glad you enjoyed the vlog thanks very much for watching.XX❤️❤️👋👋
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Yes , I can see why you wear it all the time as well 😜😉 brings out the blue in your eyes 👀 💙 lol 😆

Hi Dean , we are onboard September 1st around the Mediterranean.👍

See you on there 👍
Looking forward to meeting you both. We enjoy your blogs😊
@deangardner7063 Thanks Dean , it should be a great cruise 👍👍
Hello Peeps! Was wondering when our next installment from you would be, and here you are, what a lovely surprise. CONGRATULATIONS on 48 years, you must have married young!! were you 12? Glad you enjoyed your first night. Gotta ask, what the chuff is a 'pilifer?' of cauliflower??? And yes Pearl, I agree with your 'meh gur feh' comments while eating your night time chocolate. .. WELCOME BACK BOTH
Hi Glenda, yes we are back for three more episodes. So hope you enjoy them . Thank you for the Anniversary wishes, I was actually Nine and Pearl was sixteen, I liked an older woman 😂. As for the Cauliflower,🤣I haven’t got a clue they just like to put fancy names in front of things so they can charge a bit more . She couldn’t wait to get that chocolate in her gob then chomp away right in my ear hole. 🤣😂 . Thanks Glenda glad you enjoyed it , look out for next week Pearl try’s to be posh having afternoon tea .😫xx❤️👋👋
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I shall look forward to that. Didn't realise Pearl was a cradle snatcher
Congrats on your anniversary! I’m sure you had a wonderful time and I look forward to the positive vlogs.
We stopped watching Ben & David as no matter what they do, they are 80% negative and accentuate what they perceive as bad.
Your vlogs tell us if you don’t like something but you don’t go on about it like B&J
Thank you , and yes we had a brilliant time and would love to do another one in the future.
We just try to be ourselves and give a bit of information whilst having fun .
Thank you very much for such positive comments and of course for watching. Have a great week 👋👋🥂
I was going to subscribe until your comment about Pearls tiny brain. No thank you.😢
Hi , good job you didn’t subscribe as there is a lot of that sort of banter between us . It’s not said with any malicious intent . Thanks for watching anyway.
