Nothing is like seeing you two go on adventures. Great video guys! So glad to see you embark to come to my home country. Almost felt a little starstruck. I hope we were nice to you and not to rainy!

This has made me want to book this cruise so badly 😍 im so excited to watch all the vlogs!
We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the vlogs. Thank you for watching 😊 x
Love this! My husband is a cruise director for another company and I love travelling with him! We do cruises in his time off too! Thinking about going on Iona next September ❤
No way! Amazing. It’s definitely the best part of the job. The places we managed to get too I can’t quite believe sometimes. Thank you for watching 😊❤️ x
Brilliant video guys thank you 👍
Thank you so much for watching 😊 x
Great vlog! Thanks for the feature at the end (The Voxens) 😊
Thank you so much for all the amazing entertainment you provided 😊 we loved watching the shows x
Great vlog as always 🫶😊
Thank you for watching 😊 x
This is brilliant. We’re considering a cruise with our little ones so it’s good to see how big the ships are and what’s available onboard. You helped us when we went to Disney last year and now this 😀
Thank you so much for watching 😊 we’re so glad that we were able to help a little with the planning x
I can’t believe you were on the cruise I was booked on! I was booked in room 15714 with my Mum but we had to cancel the day before the trip as my stepdad ended up in the ICU. I’m so glad you guys got to go and I can at least see what it was like on UA-cam. I hope you both had a blast!
We are sending you love ❤️ and good wishes. That is so kind of you to say. We’re sorry we missed you. Thank you so much for watching 😊 x
Yessss I'm commenting before I've even watched this because I'm so keen to see what you make of the ship! We went last year and loved it
Thank you so much for watching 😊 we loved the ship. Though we must admit we never got a full grasp on the location of things on the top decks. 😂 On the last day we found places we’d never been. X
@@sohelenaandmartyn I totally understand that! We went for 14 nights so we spent more time exploring I think 7 nights you have so much to cram in I'm not surprised
Packing cubes every time 😁
They are a life saver. Love them! Can't pack without them. Thank you for wacthing 😀 x
New to the channel. Can't wait to see where you go ❤❤
Welcome! 👋 thank you! 😊
Just discovered you guys. Great Vlog. Looking forward to more
Thank you so much for joining us 😊 x
We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms on cruise ships.
Its so cool that they have a gin distillery
You both look really lovely all dressed up for celebration night. xx
The rooms were a lovely size. Managed to fit our cases under the bed which really helped. The gin was nice. We try it later in the cruise. Though a martini was a little strong for me 😂 thank you for watching x
Looks like a fun holiday!!
Really curious if when you said there was a pianist at 6, it was just the P&O show… not a piano show… because we made that mistake on a p&o mini cruise once
😂 xx
We had a blast! Loved it. It was a vocalist on the piano that was playing in the Crows Nest. 😊 x
Just used your discount code to order my level8 luggage. Thank you both so much! xx
No problem at all. Glad we could help. Thank you for watching 😊 x
Ok I just got back from this exact cruise, had no idea you guys were on with me!
Ah no way! Hope you had a great time too! Xx
Love your vlogs and smiles 2nd time on Iona in September i love cruises ❤
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 😊 we loved Iona x
Great vlog as always!! The cruise looked amazing! Sadly I have a phobia of ships and boats as I get very very seasick so unfortunately I won’t be going on one anytime soon 😅😅😅😅😅
Hope you enjoyed living through it on the vlogs. ❤️ thank you for watching x
excactly like my family my parent met at on cruise ship and i be on them since i was kid . my dad took early retirement last year but before then he got if free cruise for work 35 years on p&0 cruise ship with my mum and youngest brother.
Amazing! It’s such a long shot to meet on a cruise ship and when it happens it’s so special. Helena says it’s serendipity. Thank you for watching ❤️ x
What a fantastic first few days. Looks an amazing ship. I’ve never been on a cruise. From your past experience and this trip, so many people do solo trips? X
Hi Becky 😊 yes! From our experience lots of people do solo cruises. There’s always the opportunity for solo travellers to meet other guests too with dining and activities. X
I have never been on a cruise ship. So nice to take a look. Do you have to reserve all the activities and restaurants?
Hiya 😊 so I’ll try not to confuse. We had to prebook our slots in all of the theatre shows in the evenings. These were not charged, they are included. There’s a few other activities that you could book and it told you in the evening brochure. However the majority of activities you just turned up to. Had to prebook the excursions in port and also some of the restaurants we booked. However some of the restaurants we joined a virtual queue the night of. We’ll try and do a video in future maybe to discuss further. Thank you for watching 😊 x
I love brewdog punk ipa one of my favorite beers 🍻 the food looks so good 😍 you guys looks so fancy love the outfits
Brewdog do some great beers. The food on board was lovely. Aw thank you for the comment and for watching 😀 x
Looking forward to the rest of these vlogs as only ever done Marella cruises and love them so want to compare. Did you take a drinks package?
Thank you so much for watching. We used to work for Marella 😊 we were on the Marella Discovery a few years ago. We’d be interested in going on them as guests. We didn’t take a drinks package. We worked out roughly how much we’d need to drink to make it worth it and it was more than we would drink. X
@@sohelenaandmartyn we were on the Discovery in 2018 in the Caribbean. One of our best cruises! The last cruise we did was 2019 and then we discovered Disney and that’s what takes our money now! However next year we will be back to cruising! I really wish we had booked this year to do the American itinerary as the reviews are great, but hey ho.
Love the highlighter pen!
Are the on demand movies included ? We have a 2 year old and on board next Month ! This would be very handy !
Hiya 😊 yep, they were included. Just accessible in your tv in the cabin. There was so much choice. Thank you for watching x
Hello there to the both of you how are you both have you got the watch still
Thank you so much for watching 😊 yes, we do. X
Hope you enjoyed as it’s the same name as me
A fantastic name! We had a magnificent time onboard. It really was a lovely trip. Thank you for watching 😊 x
Where did you park please? and was it easy to get to the ship from where you parked? Thanks :)
I booked a space through Just Park. It was a gated residential space that was rented out on Hulse Road. It was 30 mins from the port so bit of a walk. I’ve heard that there’s a shopping centre near to the port that you can park in. I’m not sure what it’s called. Thank you for watching 😊 x
Which ship did you meet on? Was it the Love Boat!? Lol
😂😂 turns out it was indeed! It was called Thomson Dream. Sadly is was scrapped a little while ago. Thank you for watching x
Did you have a drinks package
No we just paid for drinks separately, we found this worked best for us x
You should do a Disney wish cruise and come back to Disney World for tron
We would love that one day! X
A walking advert for Matalan. Respect. A man after my own heart. People who show what they where and it's all expensive crap are tiresome :)
I try and save where I can. 😂 Matalan was always my go to for outfits when I worked on ships. Managed to get a pretty big bulk order for a decent price. Thank you so much for watching x
Does it feel strange being on ship and not having to work on it
It definitely felt a bit surreal. We had many memories pop through our heads. We really loved being guests though. 😊 thank you for watching x
