All checked in, packed and ready to go, bring it on! We can't wait to watch your vlogs! Us Patreons have a sneaking suspicion you may have made it to Olbia after all 😊🍻🙌.

      Ian's brothers suggested that they go on a brothers cruise, and they have been sending messages back-and-forth about various options. One brother suggested a weeklong cruise that was $4,700!!!

    I hope you had a fabulous time on the cruise, Valencia and Monaco are 2 of my favourite places on the Med. Valencia for its old town and Monaco for its over the top wealth! Going in with the mentality that it's an Italian ship, think like an Italian is definitely the right way to go. Saying that the food will be great as the first response an Italian will give you after you ask 'How was your holiday?' would be either 'the food was good' or 'the food wasn't good' and then they'll tell you about where they went and what they saw.

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Brilliant! We loved Monaco, the cars driving though Casino square were insane - Aston Martin after Ferrari after Porsche after Lamborghini - it was mental. We did like Valencia too but feel we need to go back to see more of it! All in all we had a great week. A few minor niggles, but we'd certainly go again! Cheers 🍻

    So looking forward to this ….Costa ….. Sailing from Chevy Chase !!! But hopefully not a National Lampoon …..Last minute port change … not the best start… but Italy …It’s gotta be great right ? Keen price that …can see why you booked… Great online check in … things looking up …Drinks package a wise choice given the opening hours and not a bad price too. Food looked great but no free pizza 😮…. Love a floating language school like you guys …Levellers shirt makes an entrance !!! Cool……. Itinerary looks fun … A none existent dress code … A plus and love a theme night ..good they told you ahead of the cruise …so really looking forward to watching this series …brilliant fun..

      Thanks guys. Not gonna lie we loved it. I think if you're a die hard cruise etiquette, fine dining person, it's not for you. But for a great value holiday with a great vibe - a lack of entitled people (the biggest plus for us) and some cracking ports - you can't beat it. Cheers 🍻

    Oh wow you will get to visit Sardinia again, very cool. Oh wait? Hope it works out with the bus. There’s a SeaScanner! Whatever next? That check in process looks really good. Oh yes drinks package (the essentials), seems like a good package. Burger and Chips all day by the pool for free, sold! I do get quite lazy in Italy, everyone speaks English! Looks like an amazing itinerary. Very relaxed dress code, that will help with the amount of luggage required. Leopard Skin loin cloths won’t take up too much room! 😂 can’t wait to see more of Europes worst cruise line. Woop woop! ❤

    Italian breakfast is something that has just been pointed out recently to me, savoury foods (eggs, bacon, fried eggs etc) are seen as something unusual 'why would you eat all that food for breakfast?' Italians eat sweet food, so the brioche, cake, crispbread like slices with nutella or jam, and then the milky coffee. Breakfast is a quick snack, lunch is the big meal, the one thing though I can't deal with is room temperature drinks! (Including orange juice! BLEUH!!!) I'm a native Italian speaker but I always get pinged as a non local Italian when I ask for a cold, COLD drink or ice! The server then switches into speaking English with me! Another give away is ordering a cappucino after 11am!

    Congratulations to you on Surpassing 6KKKKKKKKKKK
    I am not familiar with cruise travel yet. Your cruise ship travel 101 is very helpful in my future
    I am sure you two make tons of research for every film.
    Critics and reviews from customers for Costa Cruise may be various.
    Did you find something good comments about this cruise vs. Bad experience ?
    again,, Brilliant detailed information. So much to take in. What kind of life/health insurance required?
    Did you feel the diversity about Costa Cruise/Italy?
    Sorry, Will. You could not go to your favorite destination.
    hahah unique parties and dress code.
    Good luck to you on the cruise travel.

      No worries at all. Were glad you enjoyed this video. Despite all the negative reviews, we had a great time. We take travel insurance that is cruise specific (we always make sure we put gadget cover in there!!!). We loved that there was a mix of nationalities onboard, in fact I'd say we preferred it! We really enjoyed all of the destinations and we certainly want to back to a few for longer. There were a few little niggles for us, but on the whole a great experience. Cheers for watching 🍻

    Fair dinkum you're becoming cruise experts. I love that you're going on the worst cruise in Europe. The itinerary looks pretty cool too. Spain, France, Italy, it's like they're all on the same lake. Devastated you're not going to the jungle party in your leopard skin undies though. With the unlimited booze package it looks like it could get deliciously messy. Whatever happened I'm looking forward to how it turned out.
