Watching this from my hotel room in Barcelona before walking down to the port to board Valiant Lady - PERFECT TIMING! Looks like a decent embarkation, and glad they were able to keep those drinks topped up, haha!
Yet another great video. We love trying to spot ourselves (which I am sure will get easier as we only met in the queue for the bus in Marseilles). It was such an amazing holiday. Next time Gav needs to bring PJs though! ❤
@@CruiseMonkeys And I still can't get over that fog. It was so thik and everything got wet. Very cool but glad I wasn't having to navigate the ship through it.
Brilliant start to the holiday fellas, the excitement is palpable… the spa looks amazing, can’t wait to see more… I find it interesting that most people who shit on virgin have never actually sailed with them… Who knows what thats about?
Glad you enjoyed it! The spa was a lovely way to relax later in the cruise! Yeah, think there’s a preconception about virgin - hopefully these videos will help persuade a few people as people who try virgin and go back over and over love it! If we were not vloggers and money no object, we’d only do virgin! 🤣
Awww thank you! In these vlogs we want the viewers to come along with us and be there with us, it is why we show it all - if we didn’t, imagine meeting us late one evening 🤣 Thank you for the support, it’s appreciated - not long now (month give it take I think) and Resilient Lady will be sailing out of Melbourne 👍
You guys are so funny, Gavin your a saint 😌Luke your hysterical can’t wait for the next blog, my friend and I are booking a 3 nighter on resilient lady today for next August from Portsmouth for me birthday can’t wait 🎉👏👏❤
A great start to another exciting series, I think they could have powered the lights just from your energy. Just a quick question, are the shower products as high end as the ship itself or did you stick with your own?
Hahaha yeah, think we could easily have powered them! The shower products were good! I (Gav) used them and they were really nice, Luke never uses them as he has his own products due to sensitive skin :)
It was fantastic! Hard to narrow it down to one best cruise, this one is certainly up there as one of the best along with Anthem of the Seas last year.
Hahahaha!!! A bit loose! That killed us! 😂 Drunk Luke is something else (basically a male version of Amy!). Tips for getting rid of hiccups….Down a glass of water and get Gavin to plug your ears. We don’t know this by experience at all! 🤪😂
Absolutely hilarious 😂 love you two ,Luke is so funny as he's off his tits half the time,your the cruise version of Ab fab!! Would love to go cruising with you,keep doing what you do ❤
I’ve become kind of disillusioned with the cruises, but I think I wouldn’t mind trying the Virgin cruise. I’m so glad Virgin knew to support you guys. I wouldn’t of thought about going on Virgin until I saw your video. And I am probably 50 years older than anybody I saw in your video.
Ohhh certainly have a look in to it, we met people 20 years younger than up and over 30 years older than us, if you are young at heart, enjoy excellent service and food, and want something a little less traditional compared to your regular cruise lines, you’ll enjoy it!
So lads as you know i did my first cruise in august on iona. We are now happy to say we are doing 35 nights january 2025 on iona southhampton to the carribbean and back. Taking the kids out of school as seeing all different culture is probably more educational than being sat in class tbh lol. Once in a lifetime. Also my sister and her partner have opened their own travel agents business JH travel and i save a good few hundred quid compared to p and o site. Winner winner. 😂
So sad to see you ‘lost’ your extra bags. 😉. What happen to the cruisers who take mountains of luggage on a trip? Are you slimming down or is it a ’Virgin’ thing to need fewer clothes? 😮
Great video guys !! Gavin didn't look too impressed at the whole experience and I think I agree with him, will definitely give Virgin a miss. Looked like lots of forced jollity 🥳🥳.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hahaha, didn’t mean to come across like that, actually loved it so much we’ve booked to go back next year when they are in Portsmouth - it is very different to traditional cruising 😀
Cant wait resilient lady in sept with boy george and astronauts..blast from the past .got a feeling this lone 73 year old chick will come back with a v tattooed on my bum..theres a first for everything..lol..take care and thank you..moet chandon hiccups here I come...
We hope you enjoy this first vlog! Have you been on a Virgin Voyages cruise or thinking about booking one? Let us know in the comments!
@Cruise Monkeys Breaking News P&O ARVIA N MSC VIRTUOSA both gone repoisting Cruise 4 the Winter
Love Virgin! We have booked 3 more for next year! On the Portsmouth sailings too!!! Whoop!
As usual, great fun to watch.... and it is amazing how Luke always manages not to keel over by the end of these videos 😹😂
We always love watching Luke's descent into inebriation 😆 living your best life, guys. Good for you
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching 😀
Love watching Luke get merrier and merrier 😂
Great to hear you love them! 😀

Awwww thank you, glad you enjoy them ☺️
Yet another great video. We love trying to spot ourselves (which I am sure will get easier as we only met in the queue for the bus in Marseilles). It was such an amazing holiday. Next time Gav needs to bring PJs though! ❤
Hehe! Even we look out for you 🤣 Yeah, may buy some nice silky pjs for next time 🤣

Fantastic vlog, as usual! Virgin is on my must try list! I love watching you two have fun!
Awww thank you, glad you enjoyed the vlog 👍
Love you guys. So brave showing how much you drink. We watch every video you do. So informative. Will be good when virgin comes to Australia.

Got say guys this has been our best cruise yet, fantastic
One of ours too! If we didnt vlog we’d probably mainly cruise with virgin after this 😂
Such fun boys! - We're on our first ever cruise in 7 days!!! - Quantum of the Seas 🙂
Ohhhhh fantastic- have a great time! It’s quite addictive 🤣
A great start to another exciting series, I think they could have powered the lights just from your energy. Just a quick question, are the shower products as high end as the ship itself or did you stick with your own?
Hahaha yeah, think we could easily have powered them! The shower products were good! I (Gav) used them and they were really nice, Luke never uses them as he has his own products due to sensitive skin :)
From this first video I can tell you guys had a great time.
We sure did! It was fantastic - even booked one for 2024!
Very funny blog guys the look on Gavin's face was wonderful at times. Hickup horrors as well just like Lindsey. Faaaaaab
Hehe glad you enjoyed it!
Your video brought back many memories, I was on Valiant Lady earlier in July❤
We’re so glad we brought back memories for you, we miss valiant lady so much. We had so much fun!
"I'm a bit Drunk" ... It's OK, nobody noticed 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
We sail on Skarlett Lady in Feb 2024. Was a little reluctant but it seems Virgin is very popular right now! Great vid as ever guys!
Oh fab! You really will have a great time! It is one of the best cruises we've done! We loved it... we've booked another for next August!
looks amazing !! out of all the cruises you have been on which one would you say is the best one ?
It was fantastic! Hard to narrow it down to one best cruise, this one is certainly up there as one of the best along with Anthem of the Seas last year.
Hahahaha!!! A bit loose! That killed us! 😂 Drunk Luke is something else (basically a male version of Amy!). Tips for getting rid of hiccups….Down a glass of water and get Gavin to plug your ears. We don’t know this by experience at all! 🤪😂
Glad you enjoyed it! Hahaha, thank for the hiccup tip! Will try that next time!
You hiccup so wonderfully! I just love your vlogs!
Hahaha, thank you :)
Lovin’ the fits the first night.
Thanks! 😀
Absolutely loved this 😂
Thank you! ☺️
You guys love your cocktails, don’t you? 😛😋
Ohhhh yes!!!
Absolutely hilarious 😂 love you two ,Luke is so funny as he's off his tits half the time,your the cruise version of Ab fab!! Would love to go cruising with you,keep doing what you do ❤
Lots have said we’re the Ab Fab of the cruise world 🤣 Check out our group cruise next year 🤪
I’ve become kind of disillusioned with the cruises, but I think I wouldn’t mind trying the Virgin cruise. I’m so glad Virgin knew to support you guys. I wouldn’t of thought about going on Virgin until I saw your video. And I am probably 50 years older than anybody I saw in your video.

We are hanging at the moment but you would be proud of us
Yessss 🙌
Where did you get your big yellow foam hand for waving?
Hi, you can get it from a few places but our last one was from www.superfunstuff.co.uk :)
Virgin are hosting an Atlantis cruise from Athens to London next year. Going to be *wild*...!
Yeah, saw that last week! Gutted we got no leave to do it and already booked on the ship once she arrives here in the U.K.!
were you in the older passenger group?
Great mix of people, met people 20 years younger than us and 30 years older! Such a welcoming vibe!
So lads as you know i did my first cruise in august on iona. We are now happy to say we are doing 35 nights january 2025 on iona southhampton to the carribbean and back. Taking the kids out of school as seeing all different culture is probably more educational than being sat in class tbh lol. Once in a lifetime. Also my sister and her partner have opened their own travel agents business JH travel and i save a good few hundred quid compared to p and o site. Winner winner. 😂
Ohhhh that’s fantastic, that will be an amazing adventure for them and you’re probably right!
Ohhh, always good to get mates rates 😝
Just catching up lads, as i have just got back from Belgium 🇧🇪 myself.
Enjoy, hope you had a great time in Belgium!
Luke hiccuping is hilarious🥴😂
😍
Quiet day then lol 🎉🎉🎉
Hehehe 😝
Gavin, keeping everything moving along .......
I get more serious the drunker I get 🤣 but who will be worse for wear the next day….?
So sad to see you ‘lost’ your extra bags. 😉. What happen to the cruisers who take mountains of luggage on a trip? Are you slimming down or is it a ’Virgin’ thing to need fewer clothes? 😮
No dress code on virgin voyages, so travel a little lighter
Virgin is definitely Monkey tested and approved ❤😂
💯
Hi both,
Good job Gavin knew the way😅
Thanks for showing ,will give Virgin a miss!
Hehehe! Awww, it’s not for everyone but hope you enjoyed coming along with us on the vlog!
Hi cruise monkeys love your cruise vlogs
Awww thank you 🤩
Watch out everyone. Cruise monkeys 🐒 are in the house.
Another great day of fun and adventure
Don’t you know it! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Great video guys !! Gavin didn't look too impressed at the whole experience and I think I agree with him, will definitely give Virgin a miss. Looked like lots of forced jollity 🥳🥳.

Ohhh fantastic! That will be an amazing cruise and you are going to have a fabulous time!!!
how drunk lol
🍻
This is a repeat 😢
Ummmm, it isn’t… The highlights were the best bits in under 15 minutes for the WHOLE 7 nights… this is 27 minutes for the just first day only!
Yeah just bits.
Yeah, the highlights tends to be the best bits as not everyone enjoys the vlog style videos - so we try and keep everyone happy 🥰
@@CruiseMonkeyskeep everyone happy? Can't work miracles lads 😂. I've no complaints though even from when you first began.
@terrilongden275 hehe! Thank you 🙏 🥰
