    We’re going on this ship next month! We’re so excited. We’re currently researching all we can. Your cabin looks lovely. We’re on an inside! We’re trying to decide which paid restaurant to go to, so your review was very useful. What a lovely guest day. Cheers 🍻

      HI Guys , looks like you are seasoned cruisers so doubt if there is much we can tell you. Our cabin was great in an ideal position .We went to both Sindhu and the Epicurean , I personally preferred the Epicurean its bit more of an occasion sort of Restaurant . Whatever you decide hope you have a fantastic time . Thank you very much for watching , I don't know if you have subscribed but we will subscribe to your channel . 👋

    Arr been looking forward to watching this vlog ❤ as we are on iona for first time nov 9th so will soak up all the tips and advice we see from you . Looks like you have far more room on this ship to move around . And look forward to Sindu . Went in Sindu a couple of times when we were on Arcadia and loved it . ❤ will have to remember Pearl advice on how to get to the crows nest . Middle ,left aft lol 😆 take care both of you ❤️ A&J xxxxx

      Morning A&J , that’s exciting to be on Iona in November good to have something to look forward to in the winter. She is a big ship but you will soon find your way about. Crows Nest is a really nice popular bar , but please never ever follow any of Pearls directions on how to get somewhere 🤣😂. Have a lovely Bank Holiday Xx❤️❤️

    I got off Iona this morning after a week to the Norwegian Fjords. I'm still swaying as If I am on the ship LOL so not sure if watching this video is a good idea whilst I am trying to find my equilibrium! So funny watching all the areas I know well now, as opposed to watching your previous videos to see what it would be like. I was in Gran Canaria the week before so really looking forward to seeing you explore the Canary Islands. You are such a lovely couple, who I only discovered recently, and I hope you had a fantastic holiday x

      Hi Rachel ,thank you very much for your lovely message. I really hope that you have had a great time in the Fjords. I bet the scenery was amazing. We are going in August aboard Sky princess. I know what you mean about still feeling like your on the ship , as we had a two day storm on the way back to Southampton. Thanks again for your message and for watching. X

    Hi Pearl and Brian we love watching your videos and we have a few cruises booked and we fancy doing a few videos on you tube like you have.Could you advice on what camera you use and any other advice would be great.We are on Azura next Thursday and would like to add content to you tube from thid cruise

    • @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619
      @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619  20 днів тому

      Hi Pat , thank you very much for watching our vlogs . I use a number of cameras a Sony zv1 and a DJI pocket pro , and my I phone.
      You can get some good results using your phone. When filming on the ship I tend to use the DJI camera as it’s small and a bit more discrete. One thing I would definitely recommend is microphones. People will put up with a bit of poor quality in filming but if they can’t hear then they tend to turn off . We found that out very quickly. Hope this helps, have a great cruise on Azura .Nearly forgot I use an editing software called VN . I use their free version.

    Can I ask where did you park?

    • @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619
      @pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619  9 місяців тому +1

      We used CPS which are one of the official cruise car park firms in Southampton. You pull up opposite the ship take out your luggage, hand the keys to one of the CPS people who park your car for you . You are then given a key receipt that you keep with you . On return you are directed to the car park exchange your receipt for your key and away you go . Works very well . I would normally book about 6 months before the cruise just to be sure .Hope this helps
