Our family is doing this cruise next summer and we'd love to know if there are excursion/s options at the ports that are less pricey than the excursions through the ship. We are not new to cruising, only new to Princess, so we understand the risks, however, $1300*8 = $10,400...we're looking to reduce that by half. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I am so glad I found you guys while searching for Alaska land and sea. Planning this trip for June, 2025 with land portion first. This series made me even more excited and gave me some really good tips. Now, to watch more of your adventures! Take care
Nice hiking traild and video. Thank you for sharing 😊
Nice video, lovely hike. Thank you for sharing 😊
I rode the Skyline in the middle of the night on my Connie 14.. what a cool ride. i dont remember what time of the year it was.. overlooks at night were cool to see all the towns.. and definitely watch for all the wildlife on the road
Amazing
I saw a cougar in Oregon on the trail one time. We both stopped and stared at each other for a solid minute, and than I began to sprint directly at it and it took off.
How much is the Napa valley dome train with 4course lunch?
Check their website because the price changes depending on the day and which lunch you pick. For me and my husband it was like $700 but they have cheaper options.
What time of year were you there?

Loved your video. I was born & raised in Cincy. Loved your "Bearcat" cap. My alma mater, class of 1968.
Hello fellow Cincy!!! We have 3 Bearcats in our household. I was born and raise in Cincinnati. So nice of you to reach out and thanks for watching! ❤️

I have GOT to visit Salem. Hopefully next year on October 1st so I can get in to the shops without lines.
I love the way you are thinking. This truly is an amazing place to experience in October. Thanks for watching. ❤️
I may have missed it - it does look cold. What month was your cruise? I LOVE this video. You did such a great job with it. Oh my gosh it's so amazing. We are trying to book a JULY cruise from Seattle to Alaska and there are two aft rooms left.
Definitely get an aft room if you can. You won't be sorry. We did this cruise in mid August. I packed everything from t-shirts and shorts to sweatshirts and a coat and wore all of it at least once. 😁. I am so happy you loved the video. I did an entire video series on this cruise with all the ports. Watching those might help with some attire decisions 😂. You are going to have an amazing time. BEST TRIP EVER!!! Thanks for watching ❤️
Looks like leaves started change already I was always looking update who visit Shenandoah I enjoy watching your video I've got an idea when do I need to visit there thanks for sharing I love that place so amazing very relaxing love the natures

All power banks must be certified by Princess
Yes, that is true. I did check with Princess when we arrived and was given the go ahead. Thanks for watching. ❤️
P.S. Since a Scot corrected me, I'll pass it along. It's pronounced Edin-BUR-uh. You don't hear the "G" at the end.
Thank you for letting me know. And trust me, I have had numerous comments about my pronunciation. You are not the first and most likely won't be the last. 😂 Thanks for watching. ❤️
I wish I could understand what you are mouthing when you are on the buses! lol I've yet to be able to figure out your words! I need subtitles!
Thanks for sharing 😁 we’re driving the Skyline in late October this year and can’t wait to see the views and colors 😉 What’s up with the hat? It says Norge (Norway), we are first time visitors to Virginia, on a roadtrip from Washington DC to Florida. And we are from Norway 😆
You are going to have an amazing drive!!!!! We are not from Norway, but it is on our bucket list. Scott actually got the hat from Epcot at Disney World in Norway 😁. That how bad he wants to visit someday. Thanks for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey You’re more than welcome to our beautiful country 😉
Great video, thank you for sharing. Hubs and I will be doing this cruise on Princess next May. Did you actually take the local currency with you?
Yes, we went to our bank and took both Euros and Pounds with us. We did not spend it all and our bank exchanged it back for us. You guys are going to have so much fun. Thanks for watching. ❤️
How much was your transportation to southampton hotel? Did u pre arrange transportation and how much was it?transportation

I just went to Multnomah falls last weekend for my brothers cross country meet and we got to stay at a millitary base and we went to the goonies house and short circuit house. My mom told me to do the truffle shuffle infront of the goonie house and after that for the next day i went to the ocean for the first time in my life then we also went to the goonie rock Oregon is truly a beautiful place
We did the same thing!!! We took 3 days driving down the Oregon Coast and our first stop was the Goonies house. Check out that video for some more fun ideas on the coast for your next visit. Thanks for watching. ❤️

When it gets foggy in Crescent city you can't see anything. I went to school with a McConkey. Could you be related to a Carolin McConkey?
Yes, that fog was very thick. That is funny that you know a McConkey because it isn't well known. Sorry, we don't know a Carolin. Thank you for watching. ❤️
It’s on Air B n B ! 🎉
Oh good. When we staying it wasn't, so that is good to know for others. It was such a great place to stay. We look forward to going back soon. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Love your video! I recommend using another company for shore excursions to lower cost and go on better tours. I use Viator.
Thank you for that kind comment. It is so nice to hear that others like your video after all the hard work you put into it. We will definitely need to look into Viator. We have not heard of them. Thanks for watching. ❤️
The nearest stop to Wrexham on your itenerary would probably be Holyhead, from there you are probably on average about a 2 hour drive away :)
OMG, I wish we had a longer stay in Holyhead because we would have LOVED to drive to Wrexham. We did get a small Wales flag for a souvenir 😁. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Made me smile to hear you mention my home town of Wrexham - so proud and hope you got to visit.
Just got back from the BEAUTIFUL Oregon coast and plan on returning you guys did a great job gave me ideas on my next trip
The drive on the Oregon coast is the absolute BEST. I LOVED this trip and want to do it again. Thanks for your kind words about our video and we are so happy we could give you some more ideas for your next trip. Thanks for watching. ❤️
It is as I remember, it's time to go back
We couldn't agree more. Such a great place to explore and hike. Thanks for watching. ❤️

Thank you, you’re a delight
You just made me smile. Thank you for those kind words. I am so happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. ❤️
We are only doing the 10 day cruise and it doesn’t have a stop in Wales. It is on my must haves so we are coming back to the Uk a month after our cruise for a visit.
We are so excited you are doing a 10 day cruise, but sorry it doesn't stop in Wales. We would love to go back and explore Wales a lot more. So jealous you get to do that and we hope you have a great time. Thanks for watching. ❤️

It is Ireland and Britain please please correct this.
Get ur facts straight.ireland is not part of the British Isles....do ur research before you write ur content
@@eamanlochain1484 per research: What constitutes the British Isles? British Isles, group of islands off the northwestern coast of Europe. The group consists of two main islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and numerous smaller islands and island groups, including the Hebrides, the Shetland Islands, the Orkney Islands, the Isles of Scilly, and the Isle of Man.Aug 2, 2024
Ireland is not a brittish place, or territory. It is different and seperate. Talking about "brittish isles" in Ireland will get you a negative reaction. Tá fáilte romhat ach bí cúramach agus measúil.
@@TheTipplad I understand your frustration, but Princess Cruise line is the one that calls this cruise “The British Isles Cruise” not me. If you feel that strongly about this I encourage you to write to them. Thanks for sharing your frustration. I am not sure what your last sentence was in the comment, because it is not in English so I can’t reply to what was said.
@MileswithMcConkey I was responding to your post from 8d ago...you quote the British definition of the British isles. This is a contested definition and Ireland does not accept it. People often quote British/Wikipedia/Oxford dictionary type info and take it as the universally accepted gospel, not imagining anyone could possibly diverge. I'm guessing you are from North America and all I say as Gaeilge is " Visitors are very welcome in Ireland but should be made aware of this issue and as visitors, be informed and respectful.
I saw the statue of the horse named after it at Coolmore America. That will do.He was a sire of Champions and a tribute to this incredible World Heritage Site.
That sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing that information and thanks for watching. ❤️

We sailed with Regal Princess in June 2024 on a similar 12 day itinerary to the British Isles. Our conclusions were much like your observations. We were ready to disembark at about day 7 to travel on our own. Since we did not take any ship excursions and arranged our own sightseeing; we always felt rushed to get back to the ship by 5 pm. The food was mediocre and no dish was outstanding. The crew and level of service was outstanding and by far the Regal Princess' strongest asset. The ship and our cabin felt worn and in need of a refresh. Our reason for choosing Princess was to travel with elderly family members for whom this pace of travel was ideal. We loved our pre and post cruise side travels to London and Amsterdam. PS Go Cincinnati!
I am so happy to hear that we were not the only ones that felt this way. I agree with your comment. Food was disappointing, but the service was always great. You must of got on the ship right after we got off. Curious, did you have any cancelled ports? We really wanted to go to the Orkney Islands. Thanks for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey No cancelled ports. We did go to Orkney Islands. The Regal Princess docked at Kirkwall. I think it depends the presence of other ships on the day. All we did was a walking tour of Kirkwall. Saw the Viking inspired cathedral and a town history museum. We also witnessed a Scottish bachelor party. The groom was covered in molasses and corn flakes. His friends shrink wrapped him to a centuries old grave stone in front of the cathedral while next to him a Palestine protest was happening. That was one of the best local experiences we saw on the whole trip. The weather was cold, wet and windy that day. Wished I had packed a knit cap.
@@janwilliams4482 that sounds so amazing!!!
