What a fun video, love Paul's little quick comments on what Carole is vlogging about. As far as an outside sailaway in the dark versus a nice bar with music, I'm with Paul every time. A glass of wine or a bottle of beer, relaxing to the music is a great way to pass the time. We loved Brugge when we were there on a cruise a few years ago and got to go to a chocolate making seminar at a Chocolate Museum. It was great and the Belgians are very particular about their chocolate and strictly regulate it. The samples were wonderful.
Thanks Lou! We were both happy so that is what counts lol! Brugge is beautiful and the chocolate is awesome...we bought a few to enjoy at home as you will see in the next episode!
You two lovebirds are so funny. You make me laugh so much. You deserve your own TV show. These Saga of Adventure videos are fantastic for me as I'll be on the ship myself on 29th March for a cruise to Cadiz, the Canary Islands and Madiera. I'm a solo traveller who has never been on a cruise before, so it's great to see the ship, the views, the food etc. I'm hoping my trip may be a bit warmer than yours! Thank you for these videos - so informative and so entertaining.
Thanks so much Jane for your lovely words! Have a fabulous time on Spirit of Adventure it is a wonderful ship! 😀
You have achieved a world first in the whole of cruising - referring to a ‘suite’ as a ‘camper’. 🤣🤣🤣 Fab as always guys. 😀
LOL where did that come from,ust a bit of difference from a camper to a suite! 😂😂😂 Thanks so much for watching!
Right then...... Just about to watch your vid on a cozy Sunday afternoon. Thanks guys
Your welcome, hope you enjoy!
You two make my day. So funny and light hearted people.. Brilliant vlog. So much information, makes life so much easier for people who are booking a future cruise. Thanks.. X
That's so lovely to hear, thank you for taking the time to watch! 😀
Really enjoying these videos. Had my first SAGA cruise this summer on Spirit of Discovery with my Mum. Sounds like you were as impressed with SAGA as my Mum & I were. We were only on for 5 nights and hope to be able to book something longer soon! Have been on various cruises, but SAGA has been the best!
Thanks so much for watching! Yes Saga are the best, like you we would love to do a longer cruise with them in the future!
Lovely ship - tempted to try SAGA now as both hubby and I qualify!
It is quality, will definitely recommend!
Oh no! That felt way too short. So many good giggles. I've never been to Bruges but I believe they are known for their exceptional lace making.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes they are known for their lace making too!
Just about to watch your video. Thanks we look forward to them every Sunday 👍😊
Oh great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Another fun and informative video! I think you said 'stay in the camper' because you're feeling so at home and comfortable that you don't want to leave. I'm with Carole, I love watching a sail away.
Thanks Angela, think your right we definitely didn't want to leave! Sail away's are the best!
Thank you, fantastic as always. I really fancy this ship, so fingers crossed for a future cruise and of course would love a suite.
Thanks! The suite is just amazing!
What a lovely ship. I'm exploring solo cruises now and I think Saga looks perfect for me from what I'm discovering. The only thing is, there's no casino. I wonder what on earth I'll do i the evening?
Lots of good entertainment available but no casino.
We have watched quite a few of your videos last 2 days as have decided to have our 1st cruise on Spirit of Adventure next year. (1st ever cruise). Love all the info and banter between you. Many thanks. Gill
Thanks for watching! We had such a great time on Spirit of Adventure hope you do too! 😃
Thank you 👍
You two are my favorite-- seriously. You just make me smile. Consider making a composite video that only contains short clips of times when Carole has said, "Paul got a little grumpy..." That would be priceless!
Thanks! Lol thats a good idea! 🤣🤣
I would watch that for sure lol
So funny xx
Thanks Susan!
Bangers and mash looked amazing! Love it when I see a video from you guys
Thanks, that's great to hear! Those bangers were the best! 😀
Another great vlog, Paul with that curtain going into the lounge, So funny! Food again looks excellent, We loved Brugge, Its so pretty.
Cant wait for the next installment .🛳🛳🛳
Thanks Janice! It was so windy trying to get back in the lounge was a fight lol! 🤣🤣
Can't believe Bernie Flint is still going we saw him years ago on P&O. Enjoy your camper suite!
Yes he's a lovely guy we got to chat to him on our last day for ages, great fun. Lol I know why do I keep saying camper! 🤣🤣🤣
Bit late to the party with this one. Thanks for another fun video
No worries, thanks so much for watching! 😍
stumbled accorss you guys and love your videos
Thanks for finding us! That's great to hear!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel I gave just comw back from cruise on Arvia ... you are. Both a light in the cruising world xx
Aww thanks! How was Arvia?
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel amazing its a gorgeous ship , can't wait to here your thoughts ..
Glad you had a fab time!
I love you two. I always look forward to your videos. I’m embarking on my first solo cruise in October on the Marella Explorer doing the Adriatic Explorer. A little nervous about solo cruising. Xx
Oh thank you that's lovely to hear! Sure you will have a great time, there are a lot of sociable people who cruise!
Oh my goodness, I was in stitches! What was that port -LeMungo or something like that Carole, your pronunciation was just amazing. And can I just say - I did sort of notice you were in a SUITE (lucky whatsits). Just love your vlogs xxx
Lol LeMungo! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks as always for your support with our channel, very much appreciated! 😍
Hi paul and Carole thanks for the video love the ship will be definitely be going on it 😊
Thanks Kieran! It is a beautiful ship! 😀
Fantastic video as ever, thanks Paul and Carole 😊 We loved looking around more of this cracking ship!
We totally agree about docking in Amsterdam- we sailed from there with Holland America in 2018 and it was great 😀
Thank you! Yes such a shame as docking so central was superb!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel absolutely - zero need for shuttle buses, just step off the ship into the heart of the city 🤩
Zeebrugge is even a submunicipality of Bruges. Or Brugge as you call it in Flemish. The zee in Zeebrugge stands for sea.
Thanks for the info!
It doesn't look busy not sure I like the big lounge areas look like, airport lounges
Even though the lounge was big it was split into sections which we thought worked quite well!
I’m pretty sure I hate everything about mass ocean cruising…. But I love watching you guys. Your enthusiasm and relaxed approach not to mention the detail of your videos make for enjoyable viewing. Might book the fam on a cruise yet!
LOL do it! Thanks so much for watching!
We did thePLF for Belgium before we boarded Iona , they needed us to do them for checkin - loved Bruges 😊
It is a great destination!
Another great blog. The ship looks amazing and the food looks fab. I’d love to be on a cruise and meet you both. I went to Bruges and the guide called it Ze-Bruges. I’ve always called it Zebrugge.
Thanks Carol! Apparently we have been told one pronunciation is Flemish and one is French! This ship and the food has been fabulous!
Go for C501, it has a better lay out.
Oh we loved this layout. What was different to make it better?
I’ve just returned from a queen Mary 2 28 night cruise and the passenger locator form caused so many problems it didnt so much for us because we just did it on our phones.The ironic thing about it was when we presented it to immigration on the ship all they did was make sure it was the same name as your passport couldn’t believe it. Ps love u blogs xx
Crazy lol, at least that's all stopping soon thankfully! Oh 28 days oh bet that was fabulous!
Was it the Clapomiter on Opportunity Knocks lol . Another good vlog. X
It was the Clapomiter LOL! 😂
Love your video have you Bill on the eclipse by celebrity cruises
Thanks we did only for 4 nights many many years ago before our blogging days!
I remember seeing a TinTin shop in Bruges.
Ah yes he was from Belgium!
Paul & Carole, I hope you enjoyed Bruges which I find more romantic than Paris. Saga is tad too pricy for me but still on my achievable bucket list if I stick to a standard (no inside?) cabin and keep it mini (duration) apart from my age. My Lucy is too young but she doesn’t count, does she? Ijmuiden is pronounced eye-mau/mou-den and Zeebrugge is ok as -bruga in English but the natives say -bruhhe. I say Beijing Peiching. And this ship has a buffet, grill bar and self-serve ice cream? If there was a cruise film to be made, starring Jane McDonald as headliner, what roles would you like to play? But my suggestion is Paul Bar Manager and Carole Nurse. Then Capt Tony, Dr Don and Lecturer Gary. You know which ones? Would you like the ship RC or Virgin’s? June of London
Thanks for the pronunciation! Lol those roles would work! 🤣
If I was on a cruise I would try to go on all excursions.
It’s impossible to fit it all in unfortunately.
omg I love your vlogs! I just came across Caroles Birthday cruise when you were riding in the bumper cars, hilarious! I've been binge watching your videos since! thank you for vlogging, it's so much fun to join you both on your holidays :) Bon Voyage :)
Lol that was a painful ride! 🤣 Thanks so much for watching!
Love your vlogs.
Thanks Amanda!
hahaha, oh my lord..so much form that easy night Carole lol. And Paul, please stop being a tit! haha
I am smiling from ear to ear after listening to you two once again. I have to scythe food does sound flipping delicious...Terry x x
Lol thanks Terry! The food has just been incredible! 😀
Looks a great ship but, just what are those squares of framed material behind your heads with squiggly lines?
Lol think that's what you call art! 🤣🤣
Paulie got loose with the crayons after one too many cocktails! 🤣
Lol! 🤣
You guys are a scream, honestly! 😆
Lol thank you! 😊
Zee-brooge is the French pronunciation. Zee-brugga is the Flemish.
Thanks for that!
Saga are good for over 50s who can afford it. Their solo fares are extortionate! I thought Fred Olsen were bad but Saga beat them hands down. I got a quote recently 200% more than the per person fare for 2 sharing. I only wanted to buy a cabin not the whole ship!
They are definitely not a budget line!
I always thought that the muscle man had the longest run. How wrong was I
Thanks so much for watching!
Yes every country is going to be different in their immigration protocols, especially now you are not in the EU. Which we are upset about.
Well I must have been pronouncing Zeebrugge wrong all these years too lol 😆 🚢
From the feedback it seems one is Flemish and one is French lol! 🤣
Well I guess cruising (and other things) in a vast majority of the world will be going in the crapper again.. 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 💩 I hope the cruise industry will be able to recover. At least they'll be able to sell the ships to governments to ferry people out if it comes to that. So much posturing.. I see more tooting around the UK in your future...Stay Safe!
I've always wanted to go on the Caledonian Sleeper train...
Scary times again, hoping peace will return! The sleeper does look fun!
Great video, you seem so relaxed ,happy and well looked after, what fun!
It was such a fabulous experience! 😀
