Hi Andy and kirstie we really enjoy your vlogs especially the one's on marella we have been lot's with them.keep up the good work looking forward to your next vlog.
Good morning. Enjoyed your footage. The Sky Princess was in Liverpool a few days ago (Liverpool). Fantastic ship. Off to the Norway Fjords, IONA July 2022. First time on a cruise. Really looking forward to it. Thank you for all your clips - really helpful. Take care ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
We both loved your vlogs on Iona and look forward to Sky Princess, we’ve so missed cruising and your vlogs have made us miss it more, roll on April next year when we go on Britannia to Spain and Portugal keep making enjoyable videos !!
Hello! I’m a new subscriber from So Cal. Glad I found you here. We can’t wait for our California Coastal cruise on the Majestic 4/23-4/30. Princess is the best!
From a content creator perspective I loved your choice of music today and the way you asked Kirstie what her food was like just as she took a mouthful, got to be done. Those food portions looked a perfect size not over-facing.
LOL it is Princess Plus! We loved the food, and the prawns are fabulous. Go careful with those salty rims! You would always find us at the International Cafe! Thanks for taking us back to Sky!
Great VLOGs, having done 20 Princess cruises all over the world from Australia where I live, USA, UK, Europe, it brought back memories. I hope you 'Escaped Completely, lol.' I noted no big tables in MDR, we always liked a big table of 8 at dinner, restricted by Covid? The Princess Plus package is worthwhile.
Thank you! It's a challenge finding different things to film when only doing sea days, so glad you liked the video. Thankfully we've some port stops coming up in this series.
Looks very nice that ship. We have finally booked a cheeky all inclusive adults only week in Gran Canaria in 4 weeks time so cannot wait. First holiday in 20 months!
We are due to be onboard Sky Princess on 5 November. After having several other cruises cancelled, including a TA on Queen Mary 2 🥺 I’m really looking forward to the food, it looks great. And the Love Boat theme song horn, I’m looking forward to that too 😋 Love Kirsties new look hair, I bit longer than I remember. So nice to see you two back where you belong 🥰
Hi Rebecca, really glad you're still enjoying the videos! Yeah, the camera is great in low light. We use a Sony A7S III which is pretty much their top of the line camera for video, so is expensive, especially when you factor in a decent lens or two. We use a Sony 20mm f1.8 G lens in the evenings, to get as good quality a picture as possible in low light.
@@RebeccaCoco I generally carry a couple of lenses during the day and out on excursions. That's the Sony 12-24 f4 G lens and the 24-105 f4 G lens. We then have a pretty decent range, from ultra wide angle all the way to decent telephoto. Both decent lenses. I try not to carry too much kit and that set- up is not too bulky or heavy. Let us know what you decide to go for and if there's anything else you want to know 👍
Iceland have just brought out a bacon and cheeseburger pie. Maybe next time I do an iceland order Ill pop one in the basket. Love the idea of it. Food looked tremendous 👌
It’s 22.17 and I can see the Sky sailing past on the Firth of Clyde between our house on the shore front in Troon and the Isle of Arran after leaving Greenock.A calidescope of lights
Andy and Kirstie, Thanks for a day 1 Vlog. We really enjoyed our time on Sky. Question: It did not look like a their were many travelers, was the ship full or are they limiting passenger numbers? Thanks as always.
Hi Andy, brilliant videos you and Kirstie produce. We watched your Iona ones as we should have been on Canaries cruise now but had to cancel due to medical issue with the wife. We have been looking to book Sky Princess for next July on the Baltic cruise and came across this. Just wondering if your cocktails were within the price range of the premier drinks package included with Princess Plus fare as that is what we are going to book. Thanks in advance for your advice and keep up the good work with the videos.
Thanks, glad you liked the videos! Pretty sure it's a $12 limit on individual drinks and everything we had (other than one expensive glass of wine) fell within that cost.
@@andyandkirstie Thanks for prompt reply and good to know that about the drinks pricing. Just finished booking the Baltic cruise on Sky Princess departing Southampton next July.
Thank you for all the vblogs you do. Did Princess send you in advance the Ocean Medallion ( ie in the post ) and also do they send a wrist-strap with it or just a Lanyard ?
Great video guys, oooh a salty rim😆 Could you say if formal nights are still occurring on princess? We’re going on a 7 day this Friday, and can’t get any answers from Princess, and We really don’t want to pack black tie stuff if not needed. Thanks Aubrey
My husband and I are doing 14 nights on Sky Princess on 5 November. We’ve just had an email to let us know how many formal nights we are having. So the answer is definitely yes.
Hi can i ask you we want to do this cruise but Im just worried about how rough it would be ? Did you find it smooth sailing> I guess it depends what time of year you go?
Thanks for another great video. Seeing you two knock back the cocktails was fun - careful as you both might be giving the Cruise Monkeys a run for their money 😁 What was your experience of the app? We ask as we are on her next year for the Land of the Midnight Sun in June. It might be a bit early, but we are having problems with it for booking the dining and downloading the initial gumpf. Keep vlogging and hope to see more cocktail drinking.
We found the same, we had issues initially, but the app and medallion worked seamlessly on board. Glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for watching!
Was about to subscribe to your channel, wondering if you entertain feedback? I haven’t subscribed because I thought if he says Cheeseburger pie one more time I’ll scream…he said it at least four more times after that…*oh dear*
It’s such a pleasure to see you eating in the dining room instead of the buffet. Most channels fill up their plates like they haven’t eaten in a year.
We love going to the restaurants, but we like to try the buffet occasionally 😋
Omg,the singers!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I hope they're on our cruise
Our new favourite ship! Loved watching this and we hope you had an amazing time.
Yeah, we had a great time, thanks! We loved the ship too and love Princess.
Hi Andy and kirstie we really enjoy your vlogs especially the one's on marella we have been lot's with them.keep up the good work looking forward to your next vlog.
Thank you!
Absolutely love your Intros, put together so professionally.
Thanks!
Lovely to meet you both onboard. Nice to relive a few minutes of Day 1 on the beautiful Sky Princess. We had a great honeymoon x
Hey! 👋 Great to meet you too. Glad you had a good time.

Glad you enjoyed the videos! Iona will be amazing in the Fjords!
We are on that cruise .

Hi again,really look forward to your cruise info!
Excellent to hear a brilliant Motown type band 👏 enjoy a dance tomorrow 😀
You would enjoy SAGA with all inclusive ,😉
Yeah we'd love to try it.
Hello! I’m a new subscriber from So Cal. Glad I found you here. We can’t wait for our California Coastal cruise on the Majestic 4/23-4/30. Princess is the best!
Hey, thanks! We love Princess too! Enjoy your cruise on Majestic.
Great vlog I’ve just watched it around the pool in Rhodes xx
Thanks! Lucky you, sounds lovely!
From a content creator perspective I loved your choice of music today and the way you asked Kirstie what her food was like just as she took a mouthful, got to be done. Those food portions looked a perfect size not over-facing.
Thanks Bazza! It's difficult catching Kirstie NOT shovelling food into her mouth during dinner to be fair! 😆
LOL it is Princess Plus! We loved the food, and the prawns are fabulous. Go careful with those salty rims! You would always find us at the International Cafe! Thanks for taking us back to Sky!
I had far too many salty rims on this cruise! International cafe was excellent 👌 Port stop in Dorset in the next video, which made a nice change.
What are salty rims please
@@wendygeorge Salt on the rim of a Margarita glass.
@@andyandkirstie Yes getting off a ship is a real treat too, even if it is not to far away!
So envious! We were supposed to be on the Sky Princess last year, but it was cancelled, of course. Going to be on the Emerald Princess next month.
We had a great time on Emerald Princess in Hawaii. Love Princess ❤
Great VLOGs, having done 20 Princess cruises all over the world from Australia where I live, USA, UK, Europe, it brought back memories. I hope you 'Escaped Completely, lol.' I noted no big tables in MDR, we always liked a big table of 8 at dinner, restricted by Covid? The Princess Plus package is worthwhile.
Thanks! We didn't see any big parties in the dining rooms. Not sure if this was down to covid or not.
Hey guys. Really enjoyed this. I usually watch your vids on the telly, so I don`t comment. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your vlogs. Pete,
Thank you! It's a challenge finding different things to film when only doing sea days, so glad you liked the video. Thankfully we've some port stops coming up in this series.
Superb video this 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Looks very nice that ship. We have finally booked a cheeky all inclusive adults only week in Gran Canaria in 4 weeks time so cannot wait. First holiday in 20 months!
Sounds awesome! Have a great time!
@@andyandkirstie thank you, it’s been a long time coming!
We are due to be onboard Sky Princess on 5 November. After having several other cruises cancelled, including a TA on Queen Mary 2 🥺
I’m really looking forward to the food, it looks great.
And the Love Boat theme song horn, I’m looking forward to that too 😋
Love Kirsties new look hair, I bit longer than I remember.
So nice to see you two back where you belong 🥰
You'll be boarding on my birthday then! Have a great time, it's a fantastic ship and the crew are amazing. A x
@@andyandkirstie I shall raise a glass to your good health. 😘
Enjoyed watching this and looking forward to the rest in this series! What camera do you use to film? It's such great quality in low lighting!
Hi Rebecca, really glad you're still enjoying the videos! Yeah, the camera is great in low light.

We use a Sony 20mm f1.8 G lens in the evenings, to get as good quality a picture as possible in low light.
@@andyandkirstie Thanks! What lens do you use in the day for general filming on it? I was looking into this camera a few month ago actually.
@@RebeccaCoco I generally carry a couple of lenses during the day and out on excursions. That's the Sony 12-24 f4 G lens and the 24-105 f4 G lens.

Great vlog. Looking forward to my cruise on Sky in June 22
Thanks, you'll have a great time!
Iceland have just brought out a bacon and cheeseburger pie. Maybe next time I do an iceland order Ill pop one in the basket. Love the idea of it. Food looked tremendous 👌
Yeah, the cheeseburger pie was great after a few drinks! Princess Cruises food is amazing!
We have mince and cheese pies here in New Zealand maybe the same aS cheeseburger pie. 😊
We were on the same cruise. Having watched most of your blogs would have been good to meet you both. We are back on Sky 30th April 22 for 14 nights.
Nice, we loved Sky too. Maybe we'll be on the same cruise again in the future.
@@andyandkirstie it’s a good deal with the Princess Plus.
Interesting and smooth video..
The cheese burger pie sounds very wrong yet so very right when on holiday. 😃👍
Thank to both of you, Princess food is generally the best, especially Alfredo’s .
It’s 22.17 and I can see the Sky sailing past on the Firth of Clyde between our house on the shore front in Troon and the Isle of Arran after leaving Greenock.A calidescope of lights
Andy and Kirstie, Thanks for a day 1 Vlog. We really enjoyed our time on Sky. Question: It did not look like a their were many travelers, was the ship full or are they limiting passenger numbers? Thanks as always.
We're not sure of the exact number, but we think around 50%
It was nice!
I adore you guys totally love your vlogs although just makes me want to be back on a cruise again roll on October next year
Thank you! Glad you enjoy watching the videos!
That was nice journey. Many old people 😅
We're dose he put all that food.

Looks great! What dates was this please?
We sailed for 7 nights from 28th September.
Thank you for all the vblogs you do. Did Princess send you in advance the Ocean Medallion ( ie in the post ) and also do they send a wrist-strap with it or just a Lanyard ?
We collected our medallions at the terminal upon check-in. They only come with the lanyard, wrist straps are an additional cost. Mine was $18.
@@andyandkirstie Thank you for letting me know
Great video guys, oooh a salty rim😆
Could you say if formal nights are still occurring on princess?
We’re going on a 7 day this Friday, and can’t get any answers from Princess, and We really don’t want to pack black tie stuff if not needed.
Thanks
Aubrey
Thanks! We had one 'formal' night during our 7 night cruise and we'd say the vast majority dressed accordingly. The other 6 nights were smart casual.
My husband and I are doing 14 nights on Sky Princess on 5 November. We’ve just had an email to let us know how many formal nights we are having. So the answer is definitely yes.
I’m on the sky and there will be 2 formal nights over a 10 day period
Hi can i ask you we want to do this cruise but Im just worried about how rough it would be ? Did you find it smooth sailing> I guess it depends what time of year you go?
Hi, we didn't experience any rough seas on that cruise. I wouldn't be overly concerned about it.
@@andyandkirstie OK thankyou
What was the date of this cruise?
We boarded 28th September 2021.
Love this vlog. ... TMI about how you like a salty rim though, Andy.
😆👍

Thanks 😊
I’m looking forward to going to sindu on Iona October half term next year
It'll be amazing! We missed out on Iona, but loved it on the other ships.
The best part is you are on a cruise again and the worst part is I’m all caught up😭😭😩😩😩
😆 Glad you're enjoying the videos! New episode out Sunday!
😂😂😂 “how’s your clams” and “salty rim” 😂😂😂 viewer discretion required 😂
I’ve not had a margarita since ‘your last cruise ? Iona ? ‘
Pretty sure I didn't have a margarita on Iona. Or did I? Don't think so. 🤔
How do get co-op much time off work Your always cruising?
We're not always cruising, that's just the small part of our lives we post on UA-cam!
Eight trips in a year !
Im starting a Andy Innuendo count per vlog!
Once you have a balcony, there's no going back. 😂
What's not to like on this vlog, two thumbs down, miseries 🤷♀️
It seems some people just don't like seeing others enjoy themselves 🤷
Rule number one, you must always have a very salty rim!
Of course!
First. 😂
Well done! No prize I'm afraid, just the prestige 😂👍
@@andyandkirstie I think you’re the only subscription where I’ve clicked the bell. Literally the only one. 😂
Amazing, thanks! Must be a glutton for punishment. 😆
@@andyandkirstie Haha! At least you now know the bell notification actually works well. 😆
