Love your vlogs, and yes Paul you are correct about ultravox and being pipped to the no one spot by joe dolce shaddap you face. I’m of that era and remember it well. Looking forward to more from you both. Xx
Thanks Sue! Thanks for confirming! 😃
Ah Paul, you are awesome!👌😁 You would make an amazing food critic, your descriptions are brilliant!
Lol thanks! 😃
You are both such fun to watch and so honest and appreciative, I would love to meet a couple like you on a holiday . Have fun 🤗
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 😍
Another funny but factual video, always enjoyable to watch you both.
Thanks Angela, appreciate that! 😃
Can’t wait for Vienna having been there on a winter city break 😀
Coming soon lol!
Very entertaining as always guys!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Brought back lots of memories for me of our cruise on the Danube in 2010 before my husband got ill, thank you.
Sorry to hear about your husband, glad it bought back some memories!
Really enjoy your videos, we have a similar sense of humour, so always chuckling at Paul's comments and Carols mispronunciations 🤣🤣. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! So good to hear you enjoy them!
Looks like a great cruise so far! Excited to watch this video now
Thanks it has been fabulous!
I am loving you vlogs. You are so great with how you explain everything. You are so down to earth and II mean that in a good way. You are both so funny in a great way. Very entertaining
Thank you that's lovely to hear!
love watching you guys! It's like visiting with friends :) Enchanted Princess was amazing, i'm hooked! Looking to book again for the Med and Norwegian Fjords, thank you for another great video, have fun, see you here next week :)
Oh thank you and that's great to hear! Cruising can be addictive lol!
Right then a perfect video to watch why drinking my cup of tea 🍵 another fantastic instalment in the series thank for sharing
Thanks Kevin! 😍
First I must say that my wife and I LOVE your videos. It’s only day 3 and you’ve already convinced us that we must take this very cruise this summer. My wife commented “You only hope that you meet people like them on a cruise.”
QUESTION - Does it matter which side of the ship is best (on this itinerary)? Is either starboard or port preferable with regard to side by side ship docking and/or facing toward the port or river? Thank you!
Oh that's really great to hear, thank you! It doesn't matter which side you are on as at each port you could dock on the left or right of the river, and you never know when other ships are going parallel park either!
Thank you for the speedy reply! Another question if you don’t mind…. Not considering the cruise line or boat but considering only the ports of call and cruising scenery, which itinerary did you prefer - Danube or Rhine? Trying to make a choice for our first ever river cruise this year.
Loved the Rhine, but Danube would be our choice!
I definitely would not have expected the food to be as good as you have experienced.
No we thought it would be very average, but we were pleasantly surprised!
Planning on a Viking cruise on the Danube 2023 or24. I really enjoy your videos. I have subscribed and I am really looking froward to your travels
Oh that's exciting! Thanks so much for subscribing!
The ship looks lovely, great to see, many thx.
It is a lovely ship 😃
Thank you both for your invaluable information! 🙂
Your very welcome! 😃
Just got back from seeing Liam Gallagher at Knebworth. Your videos helping me calm down. Thanks. I don't think cruising is for me, but I found you guys through your Thailand trips and enjoy watching your cruises and stopovers. Looks like another great one :)
Thanks Toby! We are looking forward to getting back to Thailand hopefully next year!
Another great vlog! Thanks again you two. always enioy them. Looking forward to our Valiant lady Med week in October booked after seeing yours, doing 'Rockstar' looks like should be fun, never done a 'suite' before so 'pushed the boat out' (pardon the pun) this once!
Thanks! Oh have a fab time in Valiant, Virgin are great fun!
We are loving your video and chats about Tui Rivercruise and we are so keen to now try it. The flight sounds "orrible" so let us know if it is better returning. We had hoped Thomson would be the planes.
Our flights were easy jet but some going to other UK airports were TUI. Glad to hear you are enjoying our videos!
Another great video… thank you 🙏
Your welcome thanks for watching!
Thanks, this is a great new series of videos and I particularly enjoyed your rundown of the differences between ocean and river cruising.
My wife has asked me if you can let us know where you got your red rimmed glasses Carole, as she is impressed and would like to get a pair like that?
Thanks Richard, great to hear you are enjoying them! My glasses are from the Vision Centre in Gloucester where I get my eyes tested. 😃
Really enjoy your videos 😊
Thanks so much for watching!
Then we had oh my god for pudding lol didn't know such a dessert existed lol 🤣🤣
Lol! 🤣🤣
My parents are Italians and my mum's home cooking included that AWFUL polenta (she also made her own pasta). They both came from the mountains of North East Italy originally and from families that grew the maize (corn) for polenta. It was a staple. Mum and dad moved to the UK before I was born.There were lots of moaning (four siblings) when mum decided to serve up authentic Italian polenta for dinner. It was terrible stuff. My palette has improved since, but I totally understand Paul's opinion of it. Have just booked a week's cruise in October for my birthday on MSC Preziosa from Southampton; my mother is no longer here but am looking forward to some authentic Italian cuisine including polenta for the memories which I know they will serve up on board being an Italian ship..The trick with Polenta is to eat it with something very rich like liver and onions or very rich stews or dare I say stinky cheese! Loving your output.
Oh great memories of your Mum. Polenta is a strange thing! Hope your cruise on MSC brings back even more lovely memories!
Polenta is not a good thing! 😊😊 Nice vlog and cruise.
Lol thank you
I've enjoyed being introduced to TUI River Cruises perhaps Christmas Markets. I have not been able to contact TUI using your lnks, all access is denied? We live in So Cal, USA. Where can I go to book a cruise for winter 2023???
Thanks! Oh that's strange! Maybe because you are trying from the US. Which link was it so I can check it is working?
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Have you done a Christmas market tour with TUI? My youngest but grown daughter and I want to go together next winter and it appears TUI offers some very competitive prices.
We have done Christmas Markets yet but would love to one day!
My husband calls arugula lawn clippings! Won't touch it.
🤣🤣🤣
Stinky-feet cheese lol, I’m not a fan either! Looks and sounds like it is an amazing trip you are having…
Lol! Yes it was a fabulous cruise!
Hold on Carol! Diet Pepsi! Your on holiday. Paul have a word. Your our favourite cruise couple and Paul I hate joe dolce. Look after yourselves hope to meet you one day on our travels.
Lol it soon turned to wine after that! That's great yo hear we are your favourite and hope our paths cross one day! 😍
I love cheese and think that Stilton is a bit "feet'ish" so how much more smelly was this cheese ?
It was truly awful lol! 🤣🤣
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel it's hard to imagine that someone thought "yes...that's the smell we are aiming for" 🤣
Lol true! 🤣
Well you on,y do a lot of walking if you don’t go on shore excursions. I think you missed quite a lot by not. You missed seeing Heroes Sq and going up to Buda and the Fishermans Bastion in Budapest. Such a shame. Did they not offer any excursions ?
They did we chose to do our own thing and were very happy with that.
Paul, did you get something else to eat in place of the polenta or did you decide to take it back home and hide it in your neighbors’ sofa along with the stinky feet cheese? 😂
Lol! I didn't go hungry! 🤣
Bet you were starving an hour after dinner lol ,the portions seem a bit stingy
To be honest we always overeat on a cruise so we were pleased with the portion control 😀
