    A deviation from the norm but a great break and our first real holiday since covid. It rained, but we enjoyed it. Normal service will resume shortly.

    Absolutely loved watching your cruise adventures! 🛳 Your commentary had me laughing - especially the bit about your dad always being ready for the next meal 😂 Looks like even some rough seas couldn't dampen your spirits! Hope you had a blast exploring all the different ports. 🗺 Thanks for sharing! 😊

    Looks like a great journey Chris! Really interesting to see some places I've actually been in your video 😅🥳 I miss going southwards on vacations! A bit rough seas and some rain as you mention, still looks like a good vacation though 😊😊

      We still thoroughly enjoyed it, but as you know, you just can't predict the weather. Amanda sadly gets sea sick when it gets rough, so one day was in cabin, but apart from that, we ate until we nearly burst. I normally only eat one meal a day, an evening meal. Onboard, we were eating three cooked meals a day and having afternoon tea and cakes. It's going to take a bit to get the weight off again. Thank you, as always, Martin, for your continued support.

      It was a great cruise and a great cabin. My only advice would be to choose a smaller shop. 5000 was too big, 3000 is more personal. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

    Wow. Haven't been aboard a cruise ship since the first and only time, when I was 6 in 2003. We went for a short local river cruise from Moscow a couple hundred kilometres away along the Volga River for a week.

    Hi Chris
    Happy Mother's Day to your lovely wife!
    Congratulations! Beautiful vacation memory with your wife.
    I am sorry to hear about the weather, which we cannot control.
    I have not done Cruise ship travel yet. When I vacationed at Puerto Rico last December, the weather did not favor us neither. One of excursions to a small island, cruise trip was canceled. Fortunately, I found a snorkeling tour to see sea turtles. hahah Florida PPL never use an umbrella, because they have rain for 5 mins, then the sun comes out. We call it FL weather. They can have rain, sun clouds in a day.
    Here you are. You can film gorgeous sunset.33:50
    Thank you for sharing precious and peaceful moment
    Excuse me for belated comment due to my filming trip. I just got back.
    Stay tune for more adventures.....

      It's a great way to get around and let the scenery come to you. But I prefer the smaller ships, this one was too big for us at over 5000 passengers. We have sailed on ones that have 3000 passengers and enjoyed it more. We went with P&O because Dad insisted but prefer Princess Cruises. I think you'd both love it. Thanks as always for your continued support Gavin. I really appreciate it.

Loved the beaches, the ocean crashing onto the rocks, the churches and the narrow streets. I couldn't believe that a trolley was traveling through those narrow streets! The bridge that you crossed under a couple of times reminded me of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Very fun! 😀

      £649pp for an inside cabin on P&O for Norwegian Fjord cruises for this year. I've just had an email about it. We cruised the fjords a few years ago, and it was beautiful, as was Alaska and Glacier Bay. I'd definitely give it a go. You won't regret it. Thank you as always, Alex, for your continued support.

    How nice to see your film on holiday cruise. Reminds me of our cruise trip to Northern Lights and Iceland. Not as calm as in your film though with choppy high waves. Put me off cruising again. Don't think we had luxury rooms though, but know the indulgence of those 3 big meals a day. I think it makes a pleasant change to see something different to walking as myself hope to include in future.

    • @chrisbentleywalkingandrambling
      @chrisbentleywalkingandrambling  9 місяців тому +2

      I wouldn't let it put you off cruising Shanita. In all the cruises we have done, there have been two days of rolling seas. All the others have been plain sailing. I would like to see the northern lights but I like warmth too. I don't know if I could reconcile the difference. We have been north on a fjord cruise from Southampton and loved that. If the rough sea is an issue, then the Caribbean cruise is a great one. Thank you for your continued support, Shanita.

      You won't regret it. But I'd go for a smaller ship. 5000 was too many, and the 3000 passenger ships are more personal. Princess Cruises are better than P&O, in our opinion. We went on this one because Dad wanted to. Thank you as always for your continued support. You and Em are great together. Just saying.

You've got all the amenities you need so it's awesome to see. The beach at your first stop was lovely! Really pretty with the backdrop of the town. Really love the streets and the coloured houses of Spanish villages, so pretty! Mind you, how did the peacock get up there? haha, made me laugh. Very cool seeing the trams, so authentic.

    Hi Chris looks a fabulous trip this! Is this the same ship Rachel & Wills 🍻 went on or are there a few named Iona? We have never fancied a cruise but always enjoy watching other people enjoying them! Your room is nice a spacious! Some great trips on shore to Lisbon looks nice! Wow that bridge 🌉 will Iona fit under it 😮 bit scary after that incident in 🇺🇸 phew made it! Those waves are scary too! Nope definitely not for us 🤢 least you saw blue skies and had a fab holiday 👍

      The ship was a bit on the big side for us. It holds over 5000 guests. We prefer the ones that hold 3000. But we had a great time even with the weather. Rachel & Wills? Yes, we did duck going under the bridge. Thank you as always for the continued support, especially in my dry spell.
