We are Justin, Tristan & Josh
We started cruising in 2019 with a Norwegian Fjords cruise on P&O Britannia, we fell in love with the ship and cruising and quickly booked a further cruise in the summer on MSC Bellissima. We now have completely caught the bug and have cruised on multiple ships and cruise lines over the last few years.
We love to travel and wanted to share our journeys with the world and they are our way of remembering the great times we’ve had a chance to share some of the tips and tricks we use when travelling as a family.

It must lovely to get together with other lovely vloggers 😊
They are a lovely bunch love cruising together
Just got off my first cunard (Elizabeth) and didn't stop smiling i enjoyed it soo much.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! 😊 they are lovely ships
I love Cunard ❤️ everyone lovely, I'm always dressed well so I loved Queen Victoria 🎉
concrete jumbo red tree tomato😂
Love it haha 😄
Have fun!
Thank you 😊
Have a great time!
@Kelly12478 thank you 😊
"He wants to do a transatlantic". I just got off the Escape (Barcelona-Miami reposition) a few days ago and though it was amazing, there were maybe only 20-30 kids and teens on the ship. Crossings are not very popular with sailing families. On the other hand we were around 350 solo cruisers (mostly UK, Germans, Americans and Canadians) so bars and parties were lively (to say the least!)
We booked a transatlantic during the school holidays in October next year so will see if there are many kids... we are going to do a kids tour at some stage as some people think it's adult only
Seems like a good two years coming up with all the cruises. I hope Josh can come along on most of them, depwnding on school. How fun that you will be doing a groupcruise on VV, luckiky a longer one so should be beþer for both your livers 😅.
Josh will be on most except for the vv one, sometimes we need some parent time 😆
Imagine watching a random Viking Cruise review and seeing the hosts hug one of your besties!!! Holly and Bob from Innocence Abroad ARE THE BEST! Im so happy you got to hang with them, and a bit jealous 😜 Thanks for all your little details, we are going on our first Viking cruise in 2025!
Ahh thank you! ☺️ Holly and Bob are amazing people we love them so so much! ❤️ We know them very well and have cruised together a few times. How exciting you’ll have an amazing cruise with Viking! 😃
In the U.S. it’s a $25 deposit. And the balance in about 10 weeks from Cruise date.
Good to know on board they told us something different 😃
The Penthouse Jr. suite includes mini bottles of alcohol. So it includes the drink package. Whatever is in your mini bar is included in your package.
You would never want to leave the penthouse Jr suite 😀
Hi thanks for this review. May I ask if they are mahjong sets on board?
Thanks! Sorry we don’t know 😃
G’day Cruise Buoys
Coming soon!
Environmental officer!!! I’ve missed my vocation!
Interesting sounds complex though 🧡
Sorry, started watching your vlog 2 weeks ago now finishing it. I was busy on a short cruise lol
That’s a very good reason 😊
I love QM2 too! I always overpack!!! I took a large case and backpack for a recent 7 day cruise on QE!!
I think 7 days for us would be at least 2 suitcases each 😂
Nice video guys, think I WILL book an AIDA, IF I don't get a Carnival plc ban thanks to Arvia 🤣🤣🤣
What happened with Arvia
My other half and I were on QV Nov 19th to Dec 1st just recently and only a few doors down from yours. My first Cunard experience but I’ve been on other cruise lines. I agree the room was dated but perfectly adequate and I did spend quite a chunk of time in there as I got the flu mid cruise! Loved the food but did feel abit intimidated by the dress requirements for gala evenings. I feel it should be a choice rather than expectation as I’m not one for dressing up. But the Lido buffet was good as an alternative. Hope you guys enjoyed your cruise. Don’t think I would cruise Cunard again prefer a freestyle environment but a beautiful ship nonetheless.
Oh cool 😃 Hopefully the flu wasn’t too bad… Cunard isn’t for everyone but we enjoy the dressing up for formal night but get that probably not for everyone 😃 Full cruise review will hopefully be out soon
I love the T-shirt Josh has on 🥰
Available on our store soon 😊
cruisebuoysshop.myshopify.com/
Check the store out
Side note: Damn, the boy (buoy?) is growing up fast, isn’t he?
He really is 🤯 he will be taller than Tristan soon 😨
Love this!
☺️
Great vlog! Looking forward to the new ones with Josh!
Thank you 🤩
Fabulous 👌 ❤
Thanks ☺️
Josh is a very lucky boy to have the cruise life ❤
He is but he tells us we never do anything fun 🤣
@ I have 3 kids 5 grandkids 2 step grandkids I’m 46 I’m the party gran 👵🏻
Rock on 🤘
OMG we need to stay overnight before our cruise in July 26 we will be flying down from Scotland I’m really worried now as not got a clue what to book or where to avoid or how to get to port
Please don’t panic! There are loads of great hotels for great value too ❤️ we have stayed in the Moxy and also the Novotel which we both good… tomorrow we are staying in the Ibis (not the budget one) so will be able to let you know about that one too… there’s also a good Premier Inn at the Westgate shopping centre that is good too 😊 Getting to the port you can fly to Southampton airport and get a taxi or train… from the centre the docks are a short walk or taxi ride
Informatie video guys....my partner and i have booked the Athens Istanbul cruise for next October with a 3 day add on to cappadocia. Can't wait..Can I ask did you get or notice any attitude regarding your same sex partnership? Me and the husband dont expect a problem but i suppose given the older age demographic negative opinions may be more evident. Kind regards Derek..
Wow how exciting! We may end up on the same cruise… 😊 We didn’t have any issues regards our sexuality or partnership in fact I don’t think we ever have on a cruise ship… and if we did the ships all have a zero tolerance to any discrimination so it would be swiftly dealt with ❤️ Viking are seriously amazing you’ll have a fabulous time
Happy anniversary, Justin and Tristan. Male couples tend to last longer than a man and woman. Enjoy TA and the Caribbean on QV with Josh. And with Cruise Monkeys and Suite Natured again? I’m flying to my old home of Tokyo, Japan, this weekend for a week with Lucy and bears, of course. As Emma talks about it on her live every time, you’ll love the Far East on your future cruise. Wish you all a Happy New Year in advance. June
Thank you June have a wonderful derful trip back to Japan ❤️ 💙 💜
❤
Great vlog 😊
Thanks ☺️
Justin and Tristan, it’s nearly a year since my anticipated Ambassador/Ambition cruise and we made it to Belgium this time. And me in kimono on the formal night with Lucy? We’re honoured. Please say hi to Lizzy as I couldn’t speak to her on noisy Resilient Lady.
Time has flown by! ❤️ We decided to delay releasing the series until now as it seemed odd to release a Christmas markets cruise in January 😂 Hope you enjoy! ☺️
Cool…. going on a Cunard one…
That’s the plan
Congratulations on your anniversary.
Thanks ☺️
Thank you ☺️
Great but not swmming, Pin Bong, Mini Golf? etc?
We were focusing specifically on the kids club activities but there is much more to do as you say 😃
It was a great day out exploring Antwerp ❤
It really was! Great company too ❤️
🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤️
I always look forward finishing the week with a cruise vlog from you guys! Cheers 🥂🥂
Ahh thanks ☺️ although now we feel under pressure to deliver each week 😂 ❤️
Yep; bit too fun to Lots of love at at, but expect the city to be prettier!
😃
Gorgeous city and night with a beautiful tree! Sadly this may be as close as I get.
@cherifurr3935 😔 perhaps some day…
🤢
🤢
What was that kind of song😂😂😂 0:16
😊
Linda voz
😃 ❤️
Great video guys - still not sure its for us but maybe a short cruise like that we could be tempted. Maybe one day 😉
It’s marmite for sure but this was a really great cruise 😃
Nice
😃
You had an awful experience there! Just a total lack of care from management. I know what you mean about people hanging around outside, someone wanted to fight me as I entered after a night out and that was enough to never return there.
Yeah the shady characters are always a red flag 😆
Was fab-u-lous cruise ❤
100% agree with you about the Crystal Room. I just don’t get it; its such a beautiful venue, they seem to use it only for about 20 people to ballroom dance in every night! Also agree with you re: Iona - we have done 5 cruises with p&o ventura, azura, britannia twice, and this year we did Iona, & absolutely hated it. It was literally Butlins on Sea; the food was abysmal, we didn’t have a hot meal in 2 weeks. The cost-cutting as you say, is blatant. So we return to our beloved Britannia with some trepidation. This is the first year since 2018 that I havent booked with p&o the following year, and I am browsing Cunard, Princess, and Celebrity for us to try elsewhere. (We onlynsail from Southampton which seems to restrict us with sailings) Which would you recommend? Xx
Thanks! The cost cutting is a sad thing to see… especially when the price could be increased slightly to keep it still special without taking it out of people’s reach… All very different cruise lines there… all with benefits and dis benefits… would really depend on the cruise you are looking to do and style of cruise you enjoy more… suggest heading to our website and use our cruise enquiry form and we can help you with Emma Otter our recommended TA 😃
I always stay overnight before a cruise or a long haul flight but I must admit I only stay in good standard hotels and I am happy to pay that extra premium to stay in them and have never had problem and I have been travelling for many years. To be honest I would not stay in a low budget hotel.
Thanks! It is good to be able to relax into holiday mode a night before if you can 😃
