Hi Pearl & Brian, 2 down, tonight’s to go! 😍 We do love a sea day just mooching around, we didn’t play bingo but went and sat in and watched! Erm that didnt look like hot chocolate to me at the sunset bar! 🤣 Aww Pearl made me cry when she cried at the kids walking through 🥹 Pearl looked stunning when you likened her to an aubergine, the dress was lovely. The Clubhouse certainly is a popular place isn’t it? We went in to watch karaoke one night, it was a good laugh 😆 I am having a glass of wine and Andrew is having a beer whilst you do your summary (monologue) 😂 you really did have a busy day! Great fun as always 🥰 we are nearly up to say now! Woo hoo 🙌🏼 Lots of love Al xxx
Hi Al , As you could tell bingo wasn’t my thing but I can’t be too selfish and Pearl had her excitement for the day 😂 Yes I think Pearl was thinking of the Grandkids when the little ones all went past 🥲 The Clubhouse is very popular isn’t it , you have to get there early if you want a decent seat .Hope you both enjoyed your drink whilst we droned on for an eternity 😂 Thanks Al appreciate you watching and commenting especially with what you have going on at the moment. Hope you have a better week.❤️❤️xx👋👋
Thank you that is very kind , glad they are giving you a laugh, even when we’re trying to be serious 😂 .We usually muck something up along the way . Appreciate you watching all those vlogs 👋👋🙌🙌
Hi Stuart , hope you have recovered after your trek , well done by the way . I never used to like sea days I used to wander around aimlessly. Now I’m fine I can chill out a lot easier. Glad you enjoyed it Stuart thanks so much for continuing to watch.👋👋🙏
Hi Adrian , thank you glad to hear you enjoy them . Well we would enjoy that as well , we met so many lovely people who watch our vlogs on our last cruise . So see you on a ship soon 🤣. Thanks very much for watching Adrian we do appreciate it . Regards to your wife .👋👋🥂
Another great vlog, I love how you make the most of sea days, they're not boring at all are they, there's so much to do. Looking forward to the next one xxx
Thanks Sara , yes we always try and find something to do , it does help if the weather is nice so you can get outside. But as you say there is always something going on to entertain yourself. Thanks as usual Sara , great to hear from you .xx❤️❤️👋👋
Hi Mandy ,thank you Pearl was very pleased with her dabber, it’s now sitting in the drawer with the others 😫 When Pearl gets that bag out I have to follow her round with the hoover 😂 Thanks for watching Mandy .xx❤️❤️
This one really gives a good look at life on board. It was fun seeing other ships in the distance. Love to know what you ate in the glass house., besides ice cream! lol I saw Pearl make you change socks. We women are sticklers for this. I have to say that silent disco wasn't so silent this time. Pearl's dresses were beautiful, as usual. I especially liked the one she wore for celebration night. I like her over dresses, especially the pink one. You seem to be meetng a lot of people this time. I'm so glad you are having fun. I think Pearl was missing her babies a litlle. Autumn is coming full force this week. I truly love this time of year. We are still not doing well here with rain, but others have gotten way too much. They are preparing for another hurricane. Looking forward to next week. Hope you are both staying well.
Hello Rene , what a terrible shame that another hurricane is on its way , the last one caused so much damage. Hope you are all safe and well . Yes this video showed what we got up to on our sea days . Our meal in the Glass house was very nice it’s meant to be a Tapas restaurant, so small plates , very filling though . Our Chef that I filmed is quite famous in Europe. Funny how they call it a silent disco when it’s anything but silent 😂 . Pearl looked great I know, that burgundy coloured dress is one of my favourites. We have been very lucky and met some lovely people who follow our channel. Seeing all the kids walk past singing their song was very emotional for Pearl , yes reminded her of the Grandkids. Hope you get your rain soon Rene , we are heading for a bit of colder weather so the heating could be on soon. Great to hear from you as always Rene , have a great week .XX❤️❤️
Excellent as always, looks like you really enjoyed the sea day. Well done for getting the exclusive Jose Pizarro interview, how brilliant you got to meet him and film him doing his thing. Jealous watching you eat in the Glass House we really enjoyed eating in there, the food was lovely 🥰
Thanks guys , hope you are both well . We did enjoy the sea days it did help that the weather improved and we could get out on to the decks and pools . First time in the Glass house for us and we loved it , will certainly do it again .We saw Jose Pizarro doing his thing and I thought I wonder if he would mind , and to be fair he was great .Thanks as always Guys xx❤️❤️
Hi Pearl and Brian, Thanks for the mention 😃. It was lovely to meet you both, and we have since been watching all of your fantastic and informative cruise vlogs! We are now hooked on cruising and have booked 2 more!😄. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog, Angela and Tony 😊
Hi Angela & Tony , how nice to hear from you . We really enjoyed meeting you both onboard Arvia . That's great to hear that you are now hooked on cruising and have another two booked , Good for you .Thank you so much for watching our vlogs and we are glad that they can be of help .

HI , thank you very much we are very happy that you enjoyed it .Yes no airs and graces we just try to be as normal as possible , if you can call that normal 😂 . Thank you for taking the time to leave such nice comments .xx❤️❤️
Hi, just been catching up with this vlog series, brilliant as always. I love how you guys keep it real and give an honest insight about your time on board. Appreciate all the time and effort you guys put into making the vlogs, and as always loving the banter 😊
Hi Angela , thank you , yes we like to keep it as honest as possible and be ourselves. Before we started doing this vlogging lark we used to watch loads of TH-cam but didn’t appreciate how much was involved. We’re not complaining though we love doing it and as we’re retired it keeps my brain ticking over . Thanks very much for watching Angela and loving the positive comments.❤️❤️👋
Thanks for sharing again guys .. my wife and I are seasoned cruisers these past 25 years but we very much look forward to your videos. The wife's been looking on YT every day since last Sunday waiting for your next chapter! 😊
Hi Guys, thank you that’s lovely to hear. I bet you have done quite a few cruises in that time . Bless her that is very much appreciated, we try and stick to the same time . Sunday 4pm . There are a few more to come yet as it was a two week cruise and we had 5 ports . Thank you both for watching and for such a lovely message.🙌🥂❤️
Good morning from NZ... I have been enjoying seeing the videos of your cruising adventures. I chuckle away to your conversations together, and ykh both bring such joy. My hubby and I ade new to the world of cruising and have been on P&O Pacific Explorer twice, August 23 and August 24'. Hubby surprised me with a 60th birthday treat in three weeks, cruising to Melbourne onnly five nights on The Explorer and three nights in melbourne. I look forward to each video you anc Pearl. I like your british accent and your adorable welcoming personalities. Im going to carry on enjoying this video, up to the silent disco - looks like loads of fun 😂😅😊 Bye for now from Waihi (gold mining town) NZ 😊
Hi both , how amazing to get a comment all the way from New Zealand . Thank you so much really pleased that you have found our channel and are enjoying the content. As you can tell we don’t take ourselves too seriously 😂 . Hope you have a great birthday in a few weeks, good old hubby booking that surprise for you , sounds like it’s going to be a fantastic trip . 😍 Thank you , glad you look forward to our vlogs , hopefully you can understand our Essex accent ok 😂. You must try a silent disco they are a lot of fun , anything but silent 😂 . Thank you once again for such a lovely message and for watching our channel, have a wonderful trip in a few weeks and a great birthday . Hope you find some gold in Waihi .❤️❤️👋
You two do enjoy the water. I thought the English were allergic to water.. You never stop having fun... Captain requested a shot with Pearl too..🤣 .. Swim up bar worries me, all that drinking, and are they really going to get out to have a toilet break ? 😱 Not hungry and then eats half the buffet...🤪.. Do you use a gopro in the pool ? .. Enjoy the vids.. thanks..
Hi Pete & Shez , yes we do like to get in the water mostly just to cool down. Maybe we have a bit of Aussie in us , pardon the expression. Never ever gave that a thought about the swim up bar 🤢 . As for the food , you have to eat it even if it makes you feel ill . It’s there, you’ve paid for it ,hunger doesn’t come into it 🤣. I now use a DJI action 4 camera in water and for other shots as well . Of course there is a newer model out now.😫. Thanks for watching guys glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️👋👋
Hi Yvonne, yes she did look pretty fab and I will take Canny any day 😎. Well it’s good to hear the dabbers last a while , it can go in the drawer with all the others she has but forgets to pack 😫😂 . Thanks for watching Yvonne xx❤️❤️👋
Firstly, decent draw Brian, just to keep him in the job a little longer😂, another fantastic vlog and me and Kelly was sitting in front of the box at 4pm waiting for it to come on😂 That toast Pearl, I'm with ya, totally rock hard, I did ask in the end for them to do it one side, but they still managed to get it like a biscuit. Wish we had gone and see Freddie again, fantastic. Bet you both can't wait for your upcoming cruises. Big old balcony you had by the way😮 Love your banter guys, wonderful people. Love to you both xx Look forward to the next one.
Hi Marc & Kelly, yes the way we are playing I would have took a draw before hand . Bless you both waiting for our vlog to come on , how nice is that , we are very lucky to have such great support. 😂 The toast is lethal I dip it in my tea 🤢 Freddie was great again he did a few different songs , a proper showman We were really lucky with the balcony it was great . Yep roll on December. I bet you are both wishing February would get here quicker. Thank you both , it’s always great to hear from you , and thank you for always leaving such a positive comment. As we said we are very lucky. Have a great week. LOL xx❤️❤️
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Can't wait for Feb and now looks like we are going to Norway on Iona in June for a week and then obviously Baltic September, would love to be on another cruise with yourselves again one day.
That’s great news , good for you loads of cruises booked . Really pleased for you both , you will love Norway . We definitely hope to be on a cruise when your both onboard as well it would be brilliant.🙌❤️❤️
Another fun and informative vlog, we love them! Arvia looks like a lovely ship, I was on Iona last week, but like the fact that Arvia has a swim up bar 🥂 how do the two ships compare and do you have a favourite out of them? Looking forward to the next episode 😁
Hi Kim , hope you had a great time on Iona last week . They are both great ships Arvia being slightly bigger with a few extra restaurants, Green & Co , 6th street diner , and of course the swim up bar which is one of our favourites. We have got a bit of a soft spot for Iona as that was the first P&O ship that we cruised on .Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs Kim , thank you for watching and for the lovely comment .❤️❤️xx
Thank you Lorna , I’m no Quorn expert in fact it’s the first time I’ve tried it . Well if it was Quorn that’s what it said on the menu. Thanks for watching Lorna hope you are well.XX❤️❤️
Hi Dean & Sue , thank you both glad you enjoyed it . It’s the good thing about doing these vlogs , you meet some great people and you can always look back on some great times . Thanks for watching guys hope you are both well , lol xx❤️❤️🙌
Hi. Irene & Phil , how are you both . Thank you glad you enjoyed it , tried to cram in the two sea days into one vlog . That’s the thing doing these vlogs I keep watching the footage then look out the window and see the rain and wish we were back there. Thanks for watching guys .❤️❤️xx
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Hi Pearl & Brian. Doing great thanks. We know what you mean we had our first frost in the last couple of days and had to scrape the car🥶🥶Ah never mind roll on the next cruise🛳️🛳️😂😂
Hi Senseicads, we did feel really full at times , the thing is you still eat even if your not hungry.😂 I think I’ve paid for it I’m having it . Thank you very much for the comment and for watching.👋🙌
Another wonderful vlogg thank you. Looks like two brilliant sea days there and not too crowded. Food looked divine and I love the glass house 😊. Loved both of your outfits on both nights. We often skip breakfast and have lunch instead and it just means we can have a later evening meal. I’m doing this same cruise at Easter next year. . The only difference is we are docking at Toulon rather than Marseille. Can’t wait for Le Spezia and we are going to Portifino 😊
Hi Louise, yes we had a nice couple of sea days being out on the decks and in the pools . First time for us in the Glass House , really enjoyed it . First time ever that we have missed breakfast, it was nice though going to lunch in the MDR .Hope you enjoy your time onboard Arvia at Easter . We are back on Arvia in June and that is going to Toulon . We were gutted that Portofini was cancelled, hopefully next time . Thanks for watching Louise.xx❤️❤️
Evening kids,,, sea days can be quite relaxing or full on, you seemed to do a bit of both, nice to see you enjoying yourselves, you're not afraid to laugh at yourselves which is nice to see, many years ago i used to park my van outside freddies house, i never saw him though. when you went to the Caribbean did you take euros for i think its Martinque or dollars?, well looking forward to seeing next Sundays episode, have a nice week, by the way where's next on your adventures?. Percy and Donna.
Evening Percy & Donna , yes I think we got it just right plenty of play time and lots of relaxing. We always laugh at ourselves we certainly don’t take ourselves too seriously. How funny you parked outside his house, the guy on the ship was great a real showman. We did take euros as we had them from a previous trip , but they will take dollars as well . So we are on Iona in December going to Hamburg , Brugge , Rotterdam for some Christmas markets. Thanks for watching Percy & Donna , really enjoy reading your comments. ❤️❤️🙌🥂
Hi Guys 😊 I'm back with my essay 😅. Hope i get top marks . When you were at breakfast on the first day , do you only get one eggs benedict or is that what you asked for lol. Bingo seems expensive but then i dont know the price of it usually 😅.when you got back to the cabin and said to Pearl thats an hour i will never get back 😮. Thats exactly what James says to me ,lol ill never get those five minutes back 😅. I do hope we are able to get a hob tub when we are on Iona in 29 days not that we are counting 😀. Omg bless Pearl getting upset when she saw the little children 😢 im just like that cry at the drop of a hat 👒 😢. Brian two lunches your not helping your scales experiment lol 😂. Pearl your a girl after my own heart with glitter things bags etc but you know what they say " leave a little sparkle wherever you go !." As your bag did 😅. I thought the Comedian was very similar to Mickey flannagan . Wow i thought the controversial bit was Brian laying in bed 🛌 really good filming of the ship, especially the bit from the infinity pool over the edge 👍. Loved the speeded up part of video getting ready for gala night . Very strange the glasshouse saying full then going there and it looked empty when you were seated bloody technology 😅. The silent disco is very strange to watch without headphones, everyone singing out of tune and dancing 💃 but loooks like a lot of fun can't wait to try that one take care guys until the next time ❤l A&J 🎉🎉👋👋👋👋🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️
Hi Amanda , we are happy to award you an A+ for your essay but there will be detention because it was received late 😂 . 29 days how exciting ,that time has come round really quickly. Only one Eggs Benedict I'm afraid so make sure you ask for two .Yes Bingo is not my thing but I must not be too selfish and let Pearl have her moment of fun . That was a bit greedy as it goes and yes it did nothing for my waistline 😩. If I couldn't hear Pearl then all I had to do was follow the trail of glitter to find out where she was 😂 If you like Spanish Tapas sort of meals then the Glass house is worth a try , and there is lesson if it says fully booked then still go and enquire . Yes give the silent disco a try it is good fun but as you said it's anything but silent . Thanks Amanda and James , as always its great to hear from you ,thank you so much for watching , don't be late for detention .❤️❤️👋👋xx
My sister and hubby had to fly to Palma to join their Marella but they enjoyed it. So much time is wasted sailing towards the GIB ROCK, Wife was so sick with Bay of Biscay
Hi Tim , yes it does take a while to get all the way down to Palma . Glad your sister enjoyed it , we are on Marella next year for the first time . We were fortunate with the Bay of Biscay it was a bit choppy but nothing serious. Sorry to hear about the wife , it can really put the dampeners on a cruise. Thank you very much for watching. 👋👋
Hi pearl n brian. Great vlogs you do. We are new to the cruising world having only done two in the last two years, both on the Arvia. We really enjoyed both cruises around the Med. We are thinking of down sizeing our next to ie the brittannia. Do you think that would be a good decision after travelling on the giants? Love all your vids etc. Take care Steve n Ann.👍🛳️
Hi Steve & Ann thank you very much . Glad you are enjoying your cruises so far . We have never been on Britannia we are going on her in January. We have done the smaller ships , Azura , Sky Princess , and we really enjoyed them . So personally I don’t think you would have a problem. As we said we have never been on Britannia but we have heard only good things. Thanks for your comment guys and hope you make the right decision for your next cruise. 🙌🙌🥂
Hi guys, I now look forward to 4pm on Sundays for your latest, happy yo switch off the Forest vs. Chrlsea match to be one of the first to view and comment. Hope you're both well.
Hi Tiny , you can’t get a better compliment than turning the Forest match off . At least a point at Chelsea is not a bad . Hope you enjoyed it , had to cram two sea days on to one video . Thanks very much for watching Tony .🙌⚽️⚽️
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 it's not the first time I've been called Tiny 😆, it's such a great feeling knowing that we were on the same ship albeit at different times, we're on Iona November 8th 2025 to the canaries and 56 weeks to go, we can't wait. The only problem we have is that we're so shattered we tend to miss evenings entertainment and watch movies in our room, but would love to see late night comedians and , Pearl won't like this or believe it, but we've never experienced Pulse , "aaaaahhhhhh" I hear her scream. Hopefully next year, and maybe we'll see you on board
😂🤣 sorry Tony my stubby digits getting in the way . Sounds like you’re looking forward to November Tony , Iona is a great ship and the Canaries are a great destination. I can totally understand the being shattered part , we find that if we stop for a rest or too much of a nap we feel worse . So we try and keep going. WHAT you’ve never seen pulse 🤣 Pearl is stunned you don’t know what you’re missing 😂 . I’m sure we will meet up on a cruise at some point , thanks again Tony 🙏🙌🥂
My favourite couple you two are amazing aww Pearl my heart went out to you when you was crying bless you ❤ well that was a funny looking hot chocolates lol I'm going on MSC Virtuosa on Saturday with my daughter she's 38 I said how about the silent disco she said I'm not doing that I'm 69 I will be us older ones can show the younger ones a thing or two love your style of dress you both always look amazing lots of love ❤❤ xx
So glad found your channel just been watching your Norwegian cruise on princess . That ship seems a bit to full on f I r my grumpy hubby! Too loud too much music where as me would love it. So guys which has been your fav trip and ship
Morning Brenda , and we are glad you found our channel as well , welcome along ❤️ . Our favourite trip , we really enjoyed our first ever cruise that was years ago when we weren’t filming. We did Canada 🇨🇦 and New England it was amazing. That was on Royal Caribbean, that ship was very busy . We did enjoy Cunard QM2 , we would like to try another one on that line . Not at all stuffy or all snooty like we were expecting, and the ship was stunning. Thanks again Brenda and thank you for watching our vlogs . Regards to hubby ❤️❤️
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 thank pearl for reply Much appreciated Maybe pearl needs to do outfit of the evening as always looks glamorous 😊 Brian you always look very smart and compliment each other Xx
Hello Peeps! You were controversial today, no breakfast and a 'bed scene'. You two.... I'm in catch up mode with your vids, as I've just come back from 10 days on a Greek island. I can now report I have regained my lost 3 inches, see you in the next vid in a moment
Glenda , how the devil are you , I would think you are feeling great after 10 days on a Greek island . Hope you had great time ,and we are so pleased you managed to find those three inches . A bed scene as well 😱 we will soon be an over 18 channel 😂. Thanks for watching Glenda , great to hear from you.xx❤️❤️
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 how about I get another bottle of Villa Maria in and we have a catch up very soon . Love last nights vlog funny as ever love you both . Kev Hev from Sunny Devon lol x

Hi Pearl & Brian, 2 down, tonight’s to go! 😍
We do love a sea day just mooching around, we didn’t play bingo but went and sat in and watched!
Erm that didnt look like hot chocolate to me at the sunset bar! 🤣
Aww Pearl made me cry when she cried at the kids walking through 🥹
Pearl looked stunning when you likened her to an aubergine, the dress was lovely.
The Clubhouse certainly is a popular place isn’t it? We went in to watch karaoke one night, it was a good laugh 😆
I am having a glass of wine and Andrew is having a beer whilst you do your summary (monologue) 😂 you really did have a busy day!
Great fun as always 🥰 we are nearly up to say now! Woo hoo 🙌🏼
Lots of love
Al xxx
Hi Al , As you could tell bingo wasn’t my thing but I can’t be too selfish and Pearl had her excitement for the day 😂
Yes I think Pearl was thinking of the Grandkids when the little ones all went past 🥲
The Clubhouse is very popular isn’t it , you have to get there early if you want a decent seat .Hope you both enjoyed your drink whilst we droned on for an eternity 😂
Thanks Al appreciate you watching and commenting especially with what you have going on at the moment. Hope you have a better week.❤️❤️xx👋👋
Can I just say, I absolutely love your channel. I've been in stitches with your amazing personalities 😂, I've been binge watching them. Keep em coming

I really am a great husband , I go out of my way to find Pearl the best charity shops in town ....because she's worth it 😎

Firstly, decent draw Brian, just to keep him in the job a little longer😂, another fantastic vlog and me and Kelly was sitting in front of the box at 4pm waiting for it to come on😂
That toast Pearl, I'm with ya, totally rock hard, I did ask in the end for them to do it one side, but they still managed to get it like a biscuit.
Wish we had gone and see Freddie again, fantastic.
Bet you both can't wait for your upcoming cruises.
Big old balcony you had by the way😮
Love your banter guys, wonderful people.
Love to you both xx
Look forward to the next one.
Hi Marc & Kelly, yes the way we are playing I would have took a draw before hand .
Bless you both waiting for our vlog to come on , how nice is that , we are very lucky to have such great support.
😂 The toast is lethal I dip it in my tea 🤢
Freddie was great again he did a few different songs , a proper showman
We were really lucky with the balcony it was great . Yep roll on December. I bet you are both wishing February would get here quicker.
Thank you both , it’s always great to hear from you , and thank you for always leaving such a positive comment. As we said we are very lucky. Have a great week. LOL xx❤️❤️
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Can't wait for Feb and now looks like we are going to Norway on Iona in June for a week and then obviously Baltic September, would love to be on another cruise with yourselves again one day.
That’s great news , good for you loads of cruises booked . Really pleased for you both , you will love Norway . We definitely hope to be on a cruise when your both onboard as well it would be brilliant.🙌❤️❤️
Another fun and informative vlog, we love them! Arvia looks like a lovely ship, I was on Iona last week, but like the fact that Arvia has a swim up bar 🥂 how do the two ships compare and do you have a favourite out of them? Looking forward to the next episode 😁
Hi Kim , hope you had a great time on Iona last week . They are both great ships Arvia being slightly bigger with a few extra restaurants, Green & Co , 6th street diner , and of course the swim up bar which is one of our favourites. We have got a bit of a soft spot for Iona as that was the first P&O ship that we cruised on .Glad you’re enjoying the vlogs Kim , thank you for watching and for the lovely comment .❤️❤️xx
You both looked super smart on formal night. Not convinced that was Quorn in the sweet n sour 😮x
Thank you Lorna , I’m no Quorn expert in fact it’s the first time I’ve tried it . Well if it was Quorn that’s what it said on the menu. Thanks for watching Lorna hope you are well.XX❤️❤️
Loved your vlog again as usual funny 😂 so down to earth brings back so many good memories meeting you both enjoy our chats together love to you both ❤
Hi Dean & Sue , thank you both glad you enjoyed it . It’s the good thing about doing these vlogs , you meet some great people and you can always look back on some great times . Thanks for watching guys hope you are both well , lol xx❤️❤️🙌
Fantastic vlog again guys. Wish we were still on the ship, seriously missing it. Take care. 💜💜
Hi. Irene & Phil , how are you both . Thank you glad you enjoyed it , tried to cram in the two sea days into one vlog . That’s the thing doing these vlogs I keep watching the footage then look out the window and see the rain and wish we were back there. Thanks for watching guys .❤️❤️xx
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Hi Pearl & Brian. Doing great thanks. We know what you mean we had our first frost in the last couple of days and had to scrape the car🥶🥶Ah never mind roll on the next cruise🛳️🛳️😂😂
Frost 😱😱 your right another cruise will sort everything.😂❤️❤️
Love it guys!! I know how you feel that you were full all the time! think there was so much to eat! was nuts! 🙂
Hi Senseicads, we did feel really full at times , the thing is you still eat even if your not hungry.😂 I think I’ve paid for it I’m having it . Thank you very much for the comment and for watching.👋🙌
Another wonderful vlogg thank you. Looks like two brilliant sea days there and not too crowded. Food looked divine and I love the glass house 😊. Loved both of your outfits on both nights. We often skip breakfast and have lunch instead and it just means we can have a later evening meal. I’m doing this same cruise at Easter next year. . The only difference is we are docking at Toulon rather than Marseille. Can’t wait for Le Spezia and we are going to Portifino 😊
Hi Louise, yes we had a nice couple of sea days being out on the decks and in the pools . First time for us in the Glass House , really enjoyed it . First time ever that we have missed breakfast, it was nice though going to lunch in the MDR .Hope you enjoy your time onboard Arvia at Easter . We are back on Arvia in June and that is going to Toulon . We were gutted that Portofini was cancelled, hopefully next time . Thanks for watching Louise.xx❤️❤️
Evening kids,,, sea days can be quite relaxing or full on, you seemed to do a bit of both, nice to see you enjoying yourselves, you're not afraid to laugh at yourselves which is nice to see, many years ago i used to park my van outside freddies house, i never saw him though. when you went to the Caribbean did you take euros for i think its Martinque or dollars?, well looking forward to seeing next Sundays episode, have a nice week, by the way where's next on your adventures?. Percy and Donna.
Evening Percy & Donna , yes I think we got it just right plenty of play time and lots of relaxing. We always laugh at ourselves we certainly don’t take ourselves too seriously.
How funny you parked outside his house, the guy on the ship was great a real showman.
We did take euros as we had them from a previous trip , but they will take dollars as well . So we are on Iona in December going to Hamburg , Brugge , Rotterdam for some Christmas markets. Thanks for watching Percy & Donna , really enjoy reading your comments. ❤️❤️🙌🥂
Hi Guys 😊
I'm back with my essay 😅. Hope i get top marks . When you were at breakfast on the first day , do you only get one eggs benedict or is that what you asked for lol. Bingo seems expensive but then i dont know the price of it usually 😅.when you got back to the cabin and said to Pearl thats an hour i will never get back 😮. Thats exactly what James says to me ,lol ill never get those five minutes back 😅. I do hope we are able to get a hob tub when we are on Iona in 29 days not that we are counting 😀. Omg bless Pearl getting upset when she saw the little children 😢 im just like that cry at the drop of a hat 👒 😢. Brian two lunches your not helping your scales experiment lol 😂. Pearl your a girl after my own heart with glitter things bags etc but you know what they say " leave a little sparkle wherever you go !." As your bag did 😅. I thought the Comedian was very similar to Mickey flannagan . Wow i thought the controversial bit was Brian laying in bed 🛌 really good filming of the ship, especially the bit from the infinity pool over the edge 👍. Loved the speeded up part of video getting ready for gala night . Very strange the glasshouse saying full then going there and it looked empty when you were seated bloody technology 😅. The silent disco is very strange to watch without headphones, everyone singing out of tune and dancing 💃 but loooks like a lot of fun can't wait to try that one take care guys until the next time ❤l
A&J 🎉🎉👋👋👋👋🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️
Hi Amanda , we are happy to award you an A+ for your essay but there will be detention because it was received late 😂 . 29 days how exciting ,that time has come round really quickly.
Only one Eggs Benedict I'm afraid so make sure you ask for two .Yes Bingo is not my thing but I must not be too selfish and let Pearl have her moment of fun . That was a bit greedy as it goes and yes it did nothing for my waistline 😩.
If I couldn't hear Pearl then all I had to do was follow the trail of glitter to find out where she was 😂
If you like Spanish Tapas sort of meals then the Glass house is worth a try , and there is lesson if it says fully booked then still go and enquire . Yes give the silent disco a try it is good fun but as you said it's anything but silent . Thanks Amanda and James , as always its great to hear from you ,thank you so much for watching , don't be late for detention .❤️❤️👋👋xx
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 I will be on time for my punishment lol 😆 😂 😅 🤣
My sister and hubby had to fly to Palma to join their Marella but they enjoyed it. So much time is wasted sailing towards the GIB ROCK, Wife was so sick with Bay of Biscay
Hi Tim , yes it does take a while to get all the way down to Palma . Glad your sister enjoyed it , we are on Marella next year for the first time . We were fortunate with the Bay of Biscay it was a bit choppy but nothing serious. Sorry to hear about the wife , it can really put the dampeners on a cruise. Thank you very much for watching. 👋👋
Hi pearl n brian. Great vlogs you do. We are new to the cruising world having only done two in the last two years, both on the Arvia. We really enjoyed both cruises around the Med. We are thinking of down sizeing our next to ie the brittannia. Do you think that would be a good decision after travelling on the giants? Love all your vids etc. Take care Steve n Ann.👍🛳️
Hi Steve & Ann thank you very much . Glad you are enjoying your cruises so far . We have never been on Britannia we are going on her in January. We have done the smaller ships , Azura , Sky Princess , and we really enjoyed them . So personally I don’t think you would have a problem. As we said we have never been on Britannia but we have heard only good things. Thanks for your comment guys and hope you make the right decision for your next cruise. 🙌🙌🥂
Hi guys, I now look forward to 4pm on Sundays for your latest, happy yo switch off the Forest vs. Chrlsea match to be one of the first to view and comment. Hope you're both well.
Hi Tiny , you can’t get a better compliment than turning the Forest match off . At least a point at Chelsea is not a bad . Hope you enjoyed it , had to cram two sea days on to one video . Thanks very much for watching Tony .🙌⚽️⚽️
@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 it's not the first time I've been called Tiny 😆, it's such a great feeling knowing that we were on the same ship albeit at different times, we're on Iona November 8th 2025 to the canaries and 56 weeks to go, we can't wait.
The only problem we have is that we're so shattered we tend to miss evenings entertainment and watch movies in our room, but would love to see late night comedians and , Pearl won't like this or believe it, but we've never experienced Pulse , "aaaaahhhhhh" I hear her scream. Hopefully next year, and maybe we'll see you on board
😂🤣 sorry Tony my stubby digits getting in the way . Sounds like you’re looking forward to November Tony , Iona is a great ship and the Canaries are a great destination.
I can totally understand the being shattered part , we find that if we stop for a rest or too much of a nap we feel worse . So we try and keep going. WHAT you’ve never seen pulse 🤣 Pearl is stunned you don’t know what you’re missing 😂 . I’m sure we will meet up on a cruise at some point , thanks again Tony 🙏🙌🥂
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 we definitely hope so, pinot giorigro All around 🙏
My favourite couple you two are amazing aww Pearl my heart went out to you when you was crying bless you ❤ well that was a funny looking hot chocolates lol I'm going on MSC Virtuosa on Saturday with my daughter she's 38 I said how about the silent disco she said I'm not doing that I'm 69 I will be us older ones can show the younger ones a thing or two love your style of dress you both always look amazing lots of love ❤❤ xx

Thanks Brenda , glad you enjoyed it , and we are so pleased we are a tonic , as for the Gin Pearl is filling the glasses right now 😂🥂xx❤️❤️
So glad found your channel just been watching your Norwegian cruise on princess . That ship seems a bit to full on f I r my grumpy hubby! Too loud too much music where as me would love it. So guys which has been your fav trip and ship
Morning Brenda , and we are glad you found our channel as well , welcome along ❤️ . Our favourite trip , we really enjoyed our first ever cruise that was years ago when we weren’t filming. We did Canada 🇨🇦 and New England it was amazing. That was on Royal Caribbean, that ship was very busy . We did enjoy Cunard QM2 , we would like to try another one on that line . Not at all stuffy or all snooty like we were expecting, and the ship was stunning. Thanks again Brenda and thank you for watching our vlogs . Regards to hubby ❤️❤️
Love your evening attire both look very smart😊
Pearl may I ask where your dress is from (the one you wore in the glasshouse)it's gorgeous.❤
Thanks Julie , and thank you very much for watching. So Pearl said that the dress came from Phase Eight. XX❤️
@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 thank pearl for reply

Brian you always look very smart and compliment each other Xx
@@juliedavey4680Thank you Julie xx❤

Glenda , how the devil are you , I would think you are feeling great after 10 days on a Greek island . Hope you had great time ,and we are so pleased you managed to find those three inches .
A bed scene as well 😱 we will soon be an over 18 channel 😂.
