Thank you so much! Our family are enjoying your videos. We are learning so much before our cruise.
Hi Tamara. Thanks for watching and apologies for the delay in replying. When are you cruising?
another great video guys xx
Thanks Kelly, I think you must be our biggest fan.
Another great video thanks guys yours are more interesting than others.
Thanks Rachael, we really appreciate your support. We just try to have some full and hopefully that comes across.
Great tour of the ship. Look forward to The Pantry review.
Thanks Bill. The Pantry review will be up either this week or next.
We will be on the Encounter next month. Thanks for the video
Hi Patricia. She is a very nice ship and we enjoyed our cruise. We have a few booked up to take us through to Easter next year but will definitely be looking to get back on the Encounter around June or July next year. Anyway, have a fantastic cruise and enjoy everything the Encounter has to offer.
Thank you Rob and Ali for your wonderful videos. It is so nice to have some dedicated vloggers in Australia. You are a lovely couple so very easy to watch and listen to. I have been on two cruises this year. To Moreton Island on Explorer and Eden/Newcastle on Coral. I watched your Coral vlogs as that was my first time on Princess. I am looking forward to flying to Brisbane in November for the Quantum of the Seas short cruise. Lots more planned for next year Ovation, Quantum and Celebrity in 24. I look forward to more of your videos and maybe hope to see you on board one day.
Hi Sharon. Thank you so much for your kind comments and support. Sounds like you have a few planned like us. Coral was our first time on Princess too and we enjoyed it very much. We are not on the Quantum until December for New Year's Eve cruise but we have a few friends that are going in November so looking forward to hearing all about it and what we need to put into that series of videos from them. We are on the inaugural sailing of the Carnival Luminosa on 6th November which we are looking forward to and then something a bit different for us, in February, we're flying to Melbourne for a short cruise to Tasmania on the Cunard Queen Elizabeth. With all these cruises planned you never know who you're going to meet and when. We do love bumping into people on the cruises and having a chat face to face. Have a fantastic time on Quantum and please let us know if there is something that you think we really need to put in the videos.
the oasis area is stunning :)
Hi Deb. Yes it is a lovely area, we agree.
We loved our cruise on the Encounter in MAY.
Hi Sue. Thanks for the comment and so glad you had a great cruise. Have you booked another?
hi guys :) awesome video :) this ship looks exactly like the adventure, same layout, furniture etc. its lovely :) the only difference i can see so far is the box office, which was in the casino on the adventure..... where you were on the front of the ship, above the bridge, we took photos up there, we couldnt breathe it was so super windy and cold hehe i felt like i was going to be blown over the edge lol
Hi Deb and Nick. It is essentially the same ship as the Adventure but there are a few subtle differences. That's what makes cruising interesting I guess.
Nice, I need to go on that, LOL.
Hi Ross. Absolutely was a great ship but we think that all ships are great, they just have different character. Having said that we are really looking forward to going on the Quantum of the Seas for New Year.
Hurry up 3rd December...lol
It'll be here before you know it Kerry.
@@robandalicruisetravel Just booked a 14 day around NZ in march, just got to jump thru all the covid hoops to get there, LOL.
thanks we are going next may for a friend whom we actually met on our secibd cruise on tbe Dawn cruise as it will be her 70 th birthday
Hi Lynette. You meet the best people on board. We met some people on the Coral Princess in June and today we're doing the Brisbane Alice in Wonderland hunt with them. Also going on the Quantum of the Seas with them and some other people we met on the same cruise for New Year 2022. We really enjoyed the Encounter and will be looking for an opportunity to go on her again. Ali's Dad is 90 next year and will be coming to Australia again. He wants to go on a cruise for his birthday so we will definitely be looking what the Encounter has to offer.
Great video Rob / Ali. You may want to timecode your videos when they are a bit longer like this one.
Example:
0:00 Intro
0:50 Ocean Bar
1:10 The Lobby
1:32 The Essentials Shop
1:46 Charlies Bar
2:02 The Destination Lounge
2:20 Shore Tours
2:43 The Main Dining Room
And so on :)
Thanks Rein. I did mean to do that like we did with the Coral Princess ship tour so thanks for the reminder.
I thought I could do this after upload but I can't find it now. Might need to Google it again.
@@robandalicruisetravel
You could always just copy what I did as the example and paste that onto your description. Then, just follow the format and fill out the rest of the sections for the remainder of the video. Let me know if you need help on this one ☝🏻
@@reinblunt Good idea. It doesn't have the 'jump to' capability but is still a guide. Thanks.
@@robandalicruisetravel Once you enter all of the information (time codes) into the description of your video, save it and the timeline on the video should then show the segments for each new time code that you created. It might take a moment or two but it should eventually show up. If you need a visual reference, check out the “Rain” music video (here on my channel) which I filmed for Dragon while they were on tour here a couple of months back. I put time codes onto that video by placing all the time codes I wanted into the description of that video. Hope that helps.
Great video! Btw, I believe Leo said "Do you trust me?"
hehe i got lost so many times at the exact same area on the adventure
Hi Deb. It was quite funny that we always ended up at the same place and so did so many other people too.
Your videos are really informative and I was surprised at how much extra stuff you have to pay for with P&O, I suppose you need to weigh it all up as to whether you need to indulge in these paid extras lol . We have always found the food quality good enough in the restaurants that supply the free food if you will lol. The gymnasium looks to be quite good as well was that a paid extra or is it part of the fare .?
Hi Mike. Thanks again for the kind comments. Absolutely with you on that. It's sort of swings and roundabouts though. We are usually happy with the Pantry for lunch so don't really need the extra pizzas and burgers and having the Italian and Asian included at no cost gave the extra options for the evening. We didn't actually use the gym (probably should have) but it's not as a cost on the Spa menu where it is located and there were a few people coming and going so I suspect it's included. Sure they used to be on P&O. We'll try to find out and let you know.
Looking at the pools it doesn't appear to be a pool with step to walk down into them so if you have mobility issues you might not be swimming in the pool.
Hi Mike. Accessibility is something that we are definitely going to be commenting on in future videos as we have had a few comments about that. Thanks for bringing it up.
How do you know what is included and what is not? Is there a sign on each Cafe/bar?
Hi Rob/Ali, Great insight for the Pacific Encounter, well done. We are booked on The Melbourne Cup Cruise, 28th October, unfortunately they (P&O) are not having the Drinks package for this cruise (only water and soft drinks). Would it be possible for you to give me a rough idea on prices for drinks, beer and cocktails (pub price or night club prices).
Hi and thanks for dropping by. We have an Album called 'P&O Encounter menus & drinks September 2022' on our facebook page: facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=RobandAliCruiseTravel&set=a.142804798491671
We are in the process of putting the menus and drinks into it. You might find some info there that you're looking for. If not, let us know.
@@robandalicruisetravel Thanks guys, Exactly what i needed. I don't know why they are not having a drinks package as it is a 8 night cruise. cheers
Hi guys. Great video. Just a few questions. What did you use to film with? Whats the go with masks? do we take our own and where do you need to wear them. We are going on the Encounter on the 5th Nov with our daughter who is in a wheelchair. Really looking forward to it and your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
Hi Drew. Thanks for dropping by and for your support. We use GoPros (8 & 9) but it isn't good in low light so we're starting to use the iPhone 11 for the darker area with a gimbal for stability. We have ordered a gimbal for the GoPro though and will be trying that without the stabilisation on as that causes blurring. Also considering getting the GoPro 11 as that has a slightly larger sensor and is supposed to be a bit better in lower light conditions. Trial and error.
As for the masks, we take our own but the do provide them ion the cabin on arrival and at the entrance to the restaurants. On our cruise you needed to wear them in all inside public areas except when seated and eating/drinking (bars and restaurants) and in other areas where you can't social distance. Having said that, from this weekend, it seems that the mask protocols are being dropped on some ships and are now only recommended rather than mandatory. We'll watch this space on that one as they may stop providing them.
Accessibility is something we have been talking about just this last week and it is something that we think we should show more of on future videos. We are on the Carnival Luminosa the day after you on 6th Nov so we will look at things like wheelchair access on that cruise. Sorry we didn't really comment on it on the Endeavour.
Have a fabulous cruise, the Encounter is a fantastic ship and we can't wait to cruise on her again.
P and O turned me off cruising then I went on a Princess cruise night and day difference
my mum abd fiance loved the ice cream on the adventure :) mum especially as it was really hard. i didnt try it. we did have pizza from gradi pronti and nutella calonze late at night :) it was nice :) although not many toppings on the hawaiin one and very cheesy, but was nice :) but i had the double cheeeburger at lukes burgers, sadly it was one of the worst hamburgers i have ever eaten, it almost made me sick..... nothing but meat cheese and lettuce, with no sauce. def was my worst food on the cruise
Hi Deb. Agree, the New Zealand ice cream was amazing and the pizzas were good. As we said in our Luke's Burger video though, the burgers were a little under par for a Luke's establishment. We're back on the Encounter in June so we'll try them again to see if they are any different.
What is the cost to join the Byron beach club? Do you have to have a cabin there to us it? Or can you pay to book it?
Do you need a visa to travel to New Caledonian for 7 days from Brisbane
I spoke too soon apparently it looks like you can walk down into the pool in the Oasis area,
From memory, I think you can. There was a lot of swell in that pool though. It was sort of like a fishtail being at the back of the ship.
Are the lanyards free with the cruise card?
Hi Gail. Unfortunately not, you have to buy them. If you're not particularly bothered about it saying P&O you can probably get one cheaper on land or Shana on facebook makes customised ones for $8 each, no minimum quantity. They're great if there are a few of you and you're celebrating something.
the pool and spa on our cruise were always full of children, so we sadly never got to use them, a bit of a disappointment :(
Hi Deb. We can only imagine what it will be like during the Summer holidays. We're in 2 minds about slides as they are not really in keeping with the style of the ship but there is plenty of space on Deck 11 for them to make some water areas for the kids, which would be good.
is this port that you are in during this video cairns??
Hi Deb. The only port stop on this trip was in Cairns. All others were tender stops.
what deck do the use to board the ship?
Hi Lynette, Deck 7 is the deck we boarded on.
