Hi Helen, I am getting the impression from your vlogs that you are not enjoying the cruise and that you have been disappointed with it. Such a shame if this is correct as you put so much effort into getting your outfits etc. put together and know how excited you were about it. There hasnt been that lovely joking. smiling Helen that we are all used to. perhaps you are just tired. cant wait to have you home and see the HAULS IN MY HALL again with Dolly in the background and you back relaxed and SMILING! xx
It has all sounded great. Never can trust the weather. We had horizontal rain when a beautiful buffet had all been laid out on deck once. 😡😱. Trips ashore can be great. We’ve done both, organised and getting a brilliant taxi driver to drive us around one time. We’re off on a Mediterranean cruise for a week next week. Have booked a few excursions, but wary of taking off on our own - older and deafer!! 😂😂 Maybe that will change if we meet up with anyone. Either way it will be great. We’re currently under siege with dehumidifiers following what looked like a small leak - it’s gone under the floor!! Pumping out pints! Nightmare! Never mind. We can escape next week. Welcome home. X
Hi Helen, welcome home, home sweet home. You have made some lovely memories and thank you for sharing the good and not so good. Cruising is an acquired taste in my opinion. Not really for me as soooo expensive, too restrictive and as you now I’m a relaxed type of gal….but hey, people love them so each to their own. The thought of wearing masks again fills me with dread 😟. I hope you have both been well since returning home. I’m looking forward to a home ‘chat & catch up’ over a hot cuppa with Dolly in the background 😊
This was so much fun! You stunned in every outfit! My favorites were the creamy silk blouse with gold and pearl jewelry, and the blue dress with silver jewelry! Your eyes really pop blue, and silvery bit of dress are great with your silvery tresses!! Feels like you and Rob are really having a great experience, even with weather hiccups, and silly Cunard! Happy that you made friends with fellow passengers and kind welcoming locals while visiting their culture! That was wonderful to hear!
Thanks Helen for sharing your holiday of a lifetime with us, some breathtaking scenery and photos of you and Rob. Looking forward to seeing you soon back in your hall. xx
Hi Helen, I love that you are giving a realistic perspective of your experience, the great, good and not so good, it is very useful to hear it all, particularly for those considering similar trips. Such a shame about the covid19 situation - sadly it is certainly still in our midst, wherever you travel to. Loving seeing all the outfits as you choose to wear them, you have done very well with your choices 👍🏻 Look forward to catching up with an overview of your trip once you are home safe and sound. Safe travels xx
Welcome home Helen and Rob 🎉 Dolly will be wagging her tail like mad! Thank you for taking us with you on your special holiday, and I hope you get over your jet lag very soon. x
Visiting the Uk andFrance visiting friends and family along the way for 5 weeks now from Va. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Never been interested in a cruise. We love to plan our own trips and prefer to drive about and meet people that way. So much to see and do right here in the UK. I guess we get used to what we live around and seek new adventures elsewhere. I know we get a lot of tourist coming to Virginia seeking our sunshine, water and mountains. Looking forward to more posts.
Hello Helen & Rob, sounds like you are having a really great time, it really is so exhausting all this touring malarkey isn’t it, when you get home you’ll need a rest to get over the holiday. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to upload these videos, it’s really good of you to be thinking of us, as if you aren’t busy enough😳 but i’ve thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. x
Hi Helen, lovely video of your once in a lifetime cruise. About the Covid and wearing masks I’m afraid that is one thing that we are going to have to live with and cruises would be a nightmare of one. My friend as just come back from a world cruise and because the ship had Covid on board some countries wouldn’t let them embark that’s how other countries are dealing with it. Most of the Asia countries like Bali and the Philippines the staff wear masks in coffee shops and restaurants I don’t think we have finished with masks by any means in this country.❤️❤️
Hi Helen, my earlier comment didn't appear, so wanted to send another one! I've really enjoyed your updates & seeing all the scenery. You and Rob are looking wonderful! You've been missed, looking forward to your regular videos...but you'll probably need a bit of rest before getting back into the swing of things. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely holiday with us. Take really good care of yourselves, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 🌸🌸🌺🌺
Excellent Helen, thank you soooo much for sharing. Both you and Rob looked the part for Gala night, and your navy lace dress looked beautiful on you! xx
Thanks for all your blogs whilst on this amazing holiday. Your dresses all looked wonderful particularly the blue and silver. I can really understand how ‘dressing up’ can get weary some when you are doing it every day but I can tell you it was worth all the effort. I particularly loved Rob’s blue flowered shirt. Love a man who is happy to do that. My husband looks particularly good in pink and looks great. Hope you’re home safe and sound now and over any jet lag. I bet it all seems like a dream now.
Hellooo Helen, I’ve loved all your videos and think your clothing choices are spot on! Such a shame that Covid has reared its ugly head. I hope you and Poor Old Rob manage to avoid it. We went on a cruise for our Silver Wedding Anniversary (we celebrated our Golden Anniversary ‘home alone’ during the lockdowns!) It turned into a bit of a nightmare when we were confronted by Hurricane Marilyn which caused a lot of damage to the ship and many of the passengers. We’ve avoided cruises ever since, but we are tempted after watching your videos. We won’t be booking with Cunard! Enjoy the rest of your time and safe trip home. xx
Hope you’ve arrived home safe and sound Helen. Thanks for keeping touch during your amazing holiday! I’m looking forward to seeing your Hauls in the Hall again 😁. And seeing Dolly too 💕xx
Thank you so much Helen and Rob, have loved every second of your vlogs. You look amazing as always. Sorry to hear you still have some niggles with Cunard and sincerely hope they will be resolved satisfactorily. Covid is sadly with us forever it seems. Have a safe journey home and enjoy the comfort of your own bed. Xx
Wow it’s lovely to see you in your outfits we helped choose I like how you matched Robs outfits to yours,I think your a bit of a hero for sharing so much film for us, I did watch a film about cruise liners ages ago where the said it almost impossible to get rid of Covid because it’s in the air conditioning anyways have a safe journey home xx
Hi Helen. What a shame that Covid hit the cruise- not easy on a ship. Thank you for sharing your holiday of a lifetime with us and I’m sure it has been an unforgettable experience. It seems that there have been some ups and downs with Cunard and their customer service but hopefully the good has outweighed the bad and you have brought back some lasting memories. Welcome back to the U.K. and will look forward to your next video on home turf! 💖🌸
Ho Helen, I'm so sorry for the ship well the people that have got covid I went on a cruise in February which I had looked forward to so much for all we had some lovely days of ship I will never do a cruise again as been on a ship when you feel ill is not good I had sea sickness all the time which on a big ship I did think would happen then on the second week I brock my tooth and there was no dentist on the ship so I was left to take pain killers and payed a hundred pound to get to a dentist when we got into port the dentist could not help as we wear flying back home two days later the dentist said he would take the thoot out but as we wear flying back he said it could cause complications so all in all I'll never do a cruise again dry land for me from now on ❤😊 🤗
Think about a river cruise. We can always see land, impossible, this is proven, to get sea sick. If there are problems in no time the ship in within distance of a town with getting on and of the ship easy please. Finally, I heard the ocean going ships have housands of passengers, whereas a river cruise doesn't. One hundred and fifty maximum I believe. Don't give up.
So glad you had a great cruise even with a few niggles . You both looked very dapper every night . So nice to see as lots of people on ships these days dress down. I hope Cunard do have the manners to get in touch once your home but having worked on cruise ships for years, unfortunately I’d say don’t hold your breath. After are experience of having covid last December and having to fight the insurance company for 2 months to pay out even with platinum cruise and covid cover it’s put us off cruising anytime soon. Looks like covid is hear for a long time 😢 Hope you get over the jet lag soon looking forward to seeing you in your hall.
Safe journey home Helen, I have never been on a cruise not so sure it would suit me although I know people love them. Xxx❤❤😊 Tokyo will be wonderful xx
Helen i wouldn't take the gift of a cruise. I have traveled quite a bit in my time.A cruise was never a choice. I think id get very sea sick.Probably homesick too. You have made the most of a holiday of a lifetime. Looking forward to having you back in your hall.Im sure your family and Dolly have missed you both. 🌸🌼🌸
You may have already been told but I saw an online feature of yourself talking about m&s.. it was in the sun online ( not that I normally read it) enjoy the rest of your fabulous cruise 😁
Thanks ag ain for spending time showing us what you are wearing to dinners and what your doing during your travels. I'm sure it was aggravating try ing to use the the sh ips internet.
Good to see you Helen & for sharing your holiday with us. Hope you have both enjoyed yourselves . Have a safe return home & look forward to hearing all your stories . 😘J
Helllo helen and rob, I really enjoyed your adventure, I loved your last navy blue dress it was stunning on you , I will look forward to your haul in hall , and dolly😃❤
Thanks for the videos,very enjoyable.I really loved seeing your outfits,you looked so good in everything I particularly liked the white silk shirt.looking forward to seeing you back in the hall❤
Videos and photos have been great. Assume you’ve arrived home by now and hope you’d a safe and uneventful trip. The blue snake print dress was stunning and so flattering on you as was the navy blue lace dress. Japan sounds wonderful. I’ll definitely have it on my bucket list - need to win the lottery or remortgage the house though but you never know lol. Shame about the covid situation. Masks do help but only if people are honest about their health and isolate as they should and they don’t stop you getting it - just help to stop it spreading it. Anyway take care x
It's lovely to see where you've been & looking very glam both of you. I hope you really enjoyed yourselves, I know being a tourist is quite tiring at times, not wanting to miss a thing, but would love a wee Nana nap at times. You'll need a few days at home to unwind, so take care & look forward to seeing you soon 😊
Hi Helen, many thanks for sharing your cruise with us all, you and 'Poor Old Rob' are having such a busy time and hasn't he done well with the camera, what a gem of a man he is. You will be home before you know it, the last leg of the journey always goes by in a flash. Take care and safe travels home, looking forward to more videos of the haul in your hall.💗😀
Love that photo of you Both. Japan looks so beautiful. Hope Yr home safely..now or soon Helen and Rob. Thank you for taking us all on your amazing holiday. 🎉🎉🎉
I’ve really enjoyed being with you both on your cruise. I admire your positivity and I’m glad for all the wonderful stuff and a little sad for the stuff that didn’t come up to expectations . But , as you’d say yourself, that’s life! You take the bad with the good . Also I think you looked great in all your outfits. 🥰
Hi Helen thank you so much for sharing your trip, I’m glad you are talking about the negatives and the positives of cruising as it can be expensive and I for one would like to know these things. Overall it looks like you and Rob have had an amazing trip your outfits are lovely and Rob looked so dapper as well love to you both have a safe journey home 😘xx
Hi Helen & Rob, lovely to see you both enjoying your cruise 🚢, must say Helen you loved absolutely gorgeous in all your outfits & jewellery also Rob Loved very smart in his outfits , enjoy the rest of your cruise 🚢 take care stay safe the both of you & thank you both for sharing your one in a lifetime cruise 🚢 love 💖 to you both 💖Miriam. 😘
I’ve loved sharing your cruise thanks so much….and have especially looked seeing the outfits that “we helped you choose “ 😂😂. You looked a very handsome couple for your gala dinner xxx
Why sometimes we are called “the ugly Americans” - lack of finding out about different cultures visited then acting foolishly.!! Outfit with Lily Silk looks very nice - love the jewelry ! #2 - Taiwan- taxi and the sites sound perfect - great tip!! Love jumper sand dress- #3-never heard of the island in Japan, rain, yuck! Pottery sounds like a perfect alternative. Nice ending to rainy day!!- enjoy the remaining - it does fly, Tokyo should be amazing - / good to hear from you, ☺️Okinawa- nice weather castle - shops and food sound - days end and navy lace perfect!! Nice little 3 day catchup - 👏🏻♥️
there are plenty of well mannered and cultured Americans usually from the south and Midwest though. The ugliness and loudness and. crassness is a North Eastern thing in particular, New York . I have found this and am still, horrified by it after living here for over 30 years. The problem is not that they dont know about things ( you can always ask or read up on things) its that they are arrogant enough to think they know everything and are so loud.
Looks like you’ve certainly had a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your travels and lovely outfits. Looking forward to seeing you back in your hall 😊x
Such amazing places you’ve visited Helen but sadly for me this Cunard cruise hasn’t tempted me at all 😕 I think you’ll need a holiday when you get back! We’ve cruised with P&O & they were amazing & 1st class in everything. You’ve looked so glamorous & Rob so dapper 💕
Same we love p and o and happy to stay with them as don’t fancy Cunard either but glad you had a fab time , I’ve just come off Arvia and covid wasn’t mentioned in 2 weeks on there luckily
It’s been wonderful sharing your adventures Helen, you both look lovely in your finery 😂 very smart. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan, it’s on my bucket list xx
Your hair has gone a beautiful colour in the sun. Thank you for taking us with you in your holiday of a lifetime I have really enjoyed watching you both Monday 24th April 2:26pm
Found this interesting.. I was reading about Charles Dickens having visited America twice. He boarded a Cunard ship to return home. It wouldn't have meant anything to me if not for your cruise! Take care!
Great update Helen but I agree you are starting to sound a bit tired. Given your itinerary I'd be surprised if you weren't starting to flag 😂. You are still looking fabulous though.
Hi Helen, fantastic update again. Enjoyed you taking me on your holiday of a lifetime. Some fantastic memories and you looked awesome in all your photos. Xx
What a fantastic series of vlogs from your amazing holiday. Your outfits looked superb with your accompanying jewellery. You and Rob make a stunning couple. Would be nice to see Rob feature on a few vlogs from home too. Loved your moment of zen at the end with the waves being made by the ship. You are certainly becoming very famous with your haul vlogs, loved the article
Just came across this video of your wonderful cruise vacation Helen. The pictures are great, you are a good photographer! The picture of you and Rob in your 20’s finery was really lovely! Enjoyed hearing all about your adventures.
A friend of ours who was on a cruise in the Caribbean with his partner contracted Covid. He had to stay on board whilst she had to fly back on her own. He had to stay in isolation on board whilst the ship sailed back to Barcelona. Then had to make how own way back from there. What a nightmare
Nice to have met Rob and that photo of you in evening wear l hope you have framed ❤ enjoyed your videos and seeing your outfits take time out Helen before you get back to making videos at home we are looking forward to our usual video's when your rested dolly will be pleased to see you both especially Rob! Best whishes regards Lesley in anglesey 🙋👍✈️🛌🥱
Thanks for sharing your holiday with us and you have seen some great places It has confirmed that cruises are not for me Will miss the Hunk in the Bunk ( poor Rob) and am looking forward to Hauls in your Hall x
Thanks for sharing your journey..you will need another holiday when you get back! That snake print blue dress is lovely on you... have a safe journey home😊
Was just on Tina's Talk and she has covid so it's still hovering around although all should be ok with the vaccine. And another sour note it's supposed to get very cold at this end of the world, a great welcome home for you. Thanks for sharing your cruise, you will have some beautiful stories for the children 😂 . Be safe
That's people for you.! It's because they are so uneducated. No respect for anyone. 😮. I often have to keep quiet, trying to control people's manners, my Husband says I can't be the policewoman of the world. 🌍Thank you for the update. Sounds amazing to visit all these fabulous places. Keep safe. Rosie O from Devon England x 🇬🇧👌
High Helen, loved all of your outfits you have been waring, and glad you are having a great time. I am just about to order the Baroque earrings and the enhancer for the necklace, but not sure what chain it is you have it on, which I would like to buy as well. Can you suggest a nice pearl and gold bracelet to with the rest. Thank You x
Hi Polly, I have the paper clip necklace... I'll link below. I think this bracelet is lovely: www.mounir.co.uk/products/rough-diamond-keshi-pearl-bracelet But there are several that would look nice.

Welcome back to the UK. You have very kindly kept us up to date on your travels - what an experience. I bet Dolly will be glad to have you home. I hope your daughter's bathroom is finished.
Missed you Helen , more than you know, l bet l speak on behalf of many 😍☘️
Hi Helen, I am getting the impression from your vlogs that you are not enjoying the cruise and that you have been disappointed with it. Such a shame if this is correct as you put so much effort into getting your outfits etc. put together and know how excited you were about it.

It has all sounded great. Never can trust the weather. We had horizontal rain when a beautiful buffet had all been laid out on deck once. 😡😱. Trips ashore can be great.

Have booked a few excursions, but wary of taking off on our own - older and deafer!! 😂😂 Maybe that will change if we meet up with anyone. Either way it will be great. We’re currently under siege with dehumidifiers following what looked like a small leak - it’s gone under the floor!! Pumping out pints! Nightmare! Never mind. We can escape next week. Welcome home. X
Hi Helen, welcome home, home sweet home. You have made some lovely memories and thank you for sharing the good and not so good. Cruising is an acquired taste in my opinion. Not really for me as soooo expensive, too restrictive and as you now I’m a relaxed type of gal….but hey, people love them so each to their own.

Brilliant, thank you so much, lovely last gala night photo, very handsome couple 💕 think you might need a few days resting 🤣 xx
I HOPE YOU TIPPED THE TAXI DRIVER WELL 😃🤩
I’ve loved sharing your cruise thanks so much….and have especially looked seeing the outfits that “we helped you choose “ 😂😂. You looked a very handsome couple for your gala dinner xxx
Why sometimes we are called “the ugly Americans” - lack of finding out about different cultures visited then acting foolishly.!! Outfit with Lily Silk looks very nice - love the jewelry ! #2 - Taiwan- taxi and the sites sound perfect - great tip!! Love jumper sand dress- #3-never heard of the island in Japan, rain, yuck! Pottery sounds like a perfect alternative. Nice ending to rainy day!!- enjoy the remaining - it does fly, Tokyo should be amazing - / good to hear from you, ☺️Okinawa- nice weather castle - shops and food sound - days end and navy lace perfect!! Nice little 3 day catchup - 👏🏻♥️
there are plenty of well mannered and cultured Americans usually from the south and Midwest though. The ugliness and loudness and. crassness is a North Eastern thing in particular, New York . I have found this and am still, horrified by it after living here for over 30 years. The problem is not that they dont know about things ( you can always ask or read up on things) its that they are arrogant enough to think they know everything and are so loud.
Looks like you’ve certainly had a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your travels and lovely outfits.
Looking forward to seeing you back in your hall 😊x
Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous trip.
Look forward to seeing you after you recover from your jet lag.
PS you and Rob look fabulous ❤❤
thank you for taking us along with you , I have really enjoyed your videos. welcome back , looking forward to seeing you in your hall way again.
Such amazing places you’ve visited Helen but sadly for me this Cunard cruise hasn’t tempted me at all 😕 I think you’ll need a holiday when you get back! We’ve cruised with P&O & they were amazing & 1st class in everything. You’ve looked so glamorous & Rob so dapper 💕
Same we love p and o and happy to stay with them as don’t fancy Cunard either but glad you had a fab time , I’ve just come off Arvia and covid wasn’t mentioned in 2 weeks on there luckily
Thank you for taking us along on your cruise, enjoyed it!
It’s been wonderful sharing your adventures Helen, you both look lovely in your finery 😂 very smart. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan, it’s on my bucket list xx
Thank you for sharing your wonderful holiday with us. 😘
Your hair has gone a beautiful colour in the sun. Thank you for taking us with you in your holiday of a lifetime I have really enjoyed watching you both Monday 24th April 2:26pm
Found this interesting.. I was reading about Charles Dickens having visited America twice. He boarded a Cunard ship to return home. It wouldn't have meant anything to me if not for your cruise! Take care!
To be honest Helen you look exhausted lol x x
Great update Helen but I agree you are starting to sound a bit tired. Given your itinerary I'd be surprised if you weren't starting to flag 😂. You are still looking fabulous though.
Hi Helen, fantastic update again. Enjoyed you taking me on your holiday of a lifetime. Some fantastic memories and you looked awesome in all your photos. Xx
Thanks for sharing your holiday. The navy dress looked so good on you , ope you have a safe journey home z
What a fantastic series of vlogs from your amazing holiday. Your outfits looked superb with your accompanying jewellery. You and Rob make a stunning couple. Would be nice to see Rob feature on a few vlogs from home too. Loved your moment of zen at the end with the waves being made by the ship. You are certainly becoming very famous with your haul vlogs, loved the article
I find cruises so tiring. Every day is like a city break.need a holiday to get over it
Just came across this video of your wonderful cruise vacation Helen. The pictures are great, you are a good photographer! The picture of you and Rob in your 20’s finery was really lovely! Enjoyed hearing all about your adventures.
Ah, thank you xx
A friend of ours who was on a cruise in the Caribbean with his partner contracted Covid. He had to stay on board whilst she had to fly back on her own. He had to stay in isolation on board whilst the ship sailed back to Barcelona. Then had to make how own way back from there. What a nightmare
Nice to have met Rob and that photo of you in evening wear l hope you have framed ❤ enjoyed your videos and seeing your outfits take time out Helen before you get back to making videos at home we are looking forward to our usual video's when your rested dolly will be pleased to see you both especially Rob! Best whishes regards Lesley in anglesey 🙋👍✈️🛌🥱
Blue lace dress looks great as well, good taste lady 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Helen, another lovely video of your holiday. I hope you can avoid COVID completely and stay well.
Hopefully you're back home RESTING LOL... you'll need a holiday after that holiday! xx 😃

Will miss the Hunk in the Bunk ( poor Rob) and am looking forward to Hauls in your Hall x

Thanks for sharing your journey..you will need another holiday when you get back!
That snake print blue dress is lovely on you... have a safe journey home😊
Lovely update Helen, when are you due home? X
Was just on Tina's Talk and she has covid so it's still hovering around although all should be ok with the vaccine. And another sour note it's supposed to get very cold at this end of the world, a great welcome home for you. Thanks for sharing your cruise, you will have some beautiful stories for the children 😂 . Be safe
That's people for you.! It's because they are so uneducated. No respect for anyone. 😮. I often have to keep quiet, trying to control people's manners, my Husband says I can't be the policewoman of the world. 🌍Thank you for the update. Sounds amazing to visit all these fabulous places. Keep safe. Rosie O from Devon England x 🇬🇧👌
PS A very big welcome home to you both love 💖 Miriam 🥰
Helen and Rob thank you for sharing your interesting holiday 😊

Lovely video Helen, thank you for sharing, looks amazing. Can’t wait for hauls I your hall!🤣🤣 safe journey home. Take care xxx
High Helen, loved all of your outfits you have been waring, and glad you are having a great time. I am just about to order the Baroque earrings and the enhancer for the necklace, but not sure what chain it is you have it on, which I would like to buy as well. Can you suggest a nice pearl and gold bracelet to with the rest. Thank You x
Hi Polly, I have the paper clip necklace... I'll link below. I think this bracelet is lovely: www.mounir.co.uk/products/rough-diamond-keshi-pearl-bracelet
