    That "London Bridge is Falling Down" tune at the end is very amusing! Such a beautiful ship. Thank you for sharing it with us. :)

      Thanks for watching Jamie. Yes I kinda liked that London Bridge music. Leant a kind of macabre edge to the whole thing. 😂

    What an absolutely gorgeous ship! I love the colors, decor, and the open areas. I love the window in the stateroom bathroom! I could live there. 😃 Thank you for the very thorough tour.

      It was incredibly difficult to film this ship tour when all we wanted to do was stay in the suite and chill on that balcony. It's a tough job sometimes lol! :D

    That lounge is unbelievable, so unique and tranquil! If I didn't need some daylight for my mental and physical health, I'd probably live in it. Such an elegant ship, and that suite is perfection. What a view from the bed, and that balcony! The entry-level stateroom is more luxurious than most cruise lines' better balcony rooms, particularly with that spacious shower. Ponant doesn't get many mentions from Travel Advisors here in the US, so this was a very welcome and beautiful overview that I'm unlikely to get from any US-based "vlogger". Lovely as always, thank you!

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Amy. I don't know why Ponant isn't more widely promoted in the US. It should be as the ships are little pockets of luxury with a French twist. They are so lovely and that's not even considering the French cuisine!

    I've been enjoying your video reviews of Le Bellot and her sister ship, as we are booked on a Le Bellot Iceland cruise this summer. It's great to get a feel for the ship before we get there.
    But one little quibble. Your review of the deck 3 stateroom seems to actually show one from deck 4 or 5. From what I've seen, the balconies on deck 3 don't have the glass below the railing, but are solid. But otherwise the rooms are the same.

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This was a stateroom on deck 3 though we can’t remember which one. Maybe check with a travel advisor before booking if you want to make sure you have a fully glass balcony.
      Thanks for watching.

    Hi Rich and Helen. Imagine being in that Blue Lounge in Antarctica !! Now that would be amazing. I say that because (Gone Venturing) Viktor worked there for a few seasons and there is an actual hole drilled down below the ice with an observation room attached (At McMurdo Station). You climb down, into said hole and see and hear everything below the ice. You are the best at this travel craft. No matter the ship you are on, it is an adventure and not a chore to be done like housework !!

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aww cheers Jeremy. I can only imagine what the Blue Eye lounge is like in the Antarctic or the Maldives with the underwater lights on and the microphones turned up to 11...

    I will say again that I will never see and experience what you show and what you do, but wait I do, thru the both of you. I travel the world, I eat lovely food and indulge in activities I would not be able to do. I again thank you for allowing me to travel with you both. I hope I don't get in the way, please don't leave me behind for your next adventure. Cheers Scotty, Canberra, Australia

    Is the underwater area for higher tier room guests or is this a public area for all passengers?

    • @visitwithus

      No it’s a public area bar for all guests. Think it only opens for a limited time in the evening but anyone can go there. We are sailing in the Caribbean on one of Ponant’s ships in December so watch out for our videos from that trip where we’ll hopefully get some more interesting footage from this bar 👍
