Thanks for sharing 🤗 I love your hair blonde!! Sorry you had rain but everything still looks beautiful…..the restaurant for lunch ❤️ and the place with that hot chocolate 🍫 yum! I really like when you just walk around the local streets and explore the little shops….not just the tourist attractions 👍🏻 Thanks again….. can’t wait for the next vlog 😁
Firstly, even though I had seen your new hair on instagram it was a surprise at the start. But a nice surprise and as I commented on Instagram it does suit you. Great start to this series, even more so for my wife as your look around Rome brought back so many memories of a trip she took there with our daughter thirteen years ago. Serious looking hot chocolate, Simon’s Cannoli equally so, along with your parents ice cream. More great food to come on board in the coming weeks and lovely places to visit. Bring it on.
Loved it in Rome when we went in 2019, your hotel in Rome although different to the one we stayed at it's very similar we were close to the train station too. Great vlog as always thanks for taking us with you again
Hello, Claire. Wonderful video. My grandfather was born outside of Rome. I'm sure I have some relatives around somewhere but haven't researched. Our name was changed to Phillips at Ellis Island from Difillippo. Sorry I have missed so many of your videos but will try to catch up. So good to see you and your family. Take good care. Diane
Hi Diane! Good to hear from you, I hope you are doing well! That's so interesting about your heritage! Thank you for letting me know. Glad you enjoyed the video!
That was a fantastic first video!! I just love watching your videos…you make them concise, yet show so much and provide a ton of info. You have a great channel Claire…you’re gonna see your subscribers grow and grow!! Also, you look gorgeous in this vlog! You look so summery with your light hair and tan skin…looking healthy, happy and ready for a cruise!! Looking forward to the next video!!
Aww thank you so much that means a lot to me, I'm so glad you find the videos informative. That's exactly what I want so that I can help anyone hoping to do a similar trip! Thank you for watching and being so kind
This is a wonderful vlog. You make travel look so effortless. Ours never goes that smoothly! LOL. Your views of Rome are beautiful. I can't wait to see your upcoming adventures.
Firstly, I'm loving the blonde. You look beautiful x I loved this video, Rome looked amazing. I really appreciate the fact that you show us the route to the train and how to get tickets etc. It's super helpful x Can't wait for the next one, I hope you got to hug Mickey 🤗
Aww Donna that's so kind of you thank you so much! Ah you're so welcome, I just want to help others who may be doing something similar! Hope you will enjoy the cruise vlogs! No hugging Mickey still unfortunately :(
You look beautiful Claire! Rome looks amazing, I`m sure you could be there for weeks there`s so much to see! Can`t wait for this series, you have such a great itinerary!
When I saw your intro, I was taken aback wondering who was this new host on aclaireytale? But alas, it was new look Claire! ;-) Looking forward to watching this new series of travel vlogs. Bon voyage!
Claire - I absolutely love your hair. It looks great on you. Enjoyed seeing your day in Rome. I love Rome. I am looking forward to this series bc I think I want to do this DCL itinerary next summer. Looking forward to more.
New to your channel Claire. Love this series and this video. I would like to some booking tips for this sort of holiday if possible as tips and tricks would be great help. Looking forward to more vlogs. This one brought back some memories this year when we visited. Thanks Claire.
Aww thank you Sally!! Yes course, let me know if you need any help! Everyone is different so I do find tips vlogs a bit hard because a lot of it is personal preference! We tend to book everything separately and use comparison sites. Thank you for following along!
Aw thank you, it was such a shame about the rain but we get some nice sunny days in Rome when we get off the ship! Hope you will enjoy the cruise vlogs!
Love the hair Claire! Great vlog. The hot chocolate reminded me of the film Chocolat, the ones in the film are thick too. I must go to Rome one day, been to a few places in Italy but never here. So looking forward to the other videos. Best wishes to you and Simon. Susan xx
Love the hair Claire! Really suits you 😀. I always come back from holiday less tanned than when I go because I always get a spray tan 🤣. Rome is so interesting right 😊
Aw thank you Susan! We always use hotels.com. We look on the map for the best situated hotel they have. The other great thing about using that site is that after 10 stays you get one free night!
Can you tell me what the luggage situation is like on the train? Is there plenty of room for it? We are going next month and I'm trying to decide on transportation.
Yes there was plenty of room for the luggage, on the airport train there was luggage racks but we just stood by ours and then the train to port there was a big section by the doors where everyone put their suitcases
I Loved Rome. You will like the Spanish Steps and the Coliseum
I did they were so good! You'll see that after the cruise vlogs haha. Thank you for watching!!
