Thanks for this, we are doing this cruise in 2026, so It was nice to see what we can expect. I enjoyed your measured delivery and the background music.
it really was and the customer service at reception was shocking! we have seen an interesting trip advisor review so I’m glad we got a refund and left! All turned out for the best! Thank you so much for watching very much appreciated!
What an absolute nightmare for everyone concerned - the kind of stress you don’t need on holiday. The poor people with tents, they must have had an awful time and the weather wasn’t getting any better. On the positive side, you got to give us 3 accommodation reviews and all looked great. That house was like a tardis, looked small but then all those bedrooms were massive - unlike our British houses. Lots of stairs to get your steps up, if you didn’t do enough walking around Paris and the Olympic venues 😂 Crecy looked amazing and loved seeing you in the sunflower field- what a great picture. Great video 👏
It really was! I feel we were lucky we were given a refund! Yes we got to try out 3 different locations I wouldn’t have minded spending a little longer at Touquin as I did miss the swimming pool!! The house was definitely larger than it looked from the outside and was a great location. The sunflower field was beautiful 3:21 as was Creccy! Thank you so much for watching means a lot 😊
Crecy looks like a very picturesque town and I don’t blame you for heading into the patisserie after seeing those cakes. Sounds like your whole accommodation situation was a nightmare. It’s difficult when the weather throws something at you but you should have been treated much better. All seemed to end well with the townhouse which looked great! 👍
Creccy was very pretty and it was hard choosing something at the Patisserie! all looked very good! we know the campsite couldn’t control the weather just wish they had controlled their attitudes! Reading various reviews we had a lucky escape getting a refund and getting out!! Yes the townhouse was a lucky find! I did miss the swimming pool though 😊 Thank you for watching
What a massive faff! Those poor folks in the tents 😮 the lodge company clearly couldn't cope with the emergency. The Airbnb looks neat and tidy. Disney!! It's on my bucket list....!
They really couldn’t cope with the emergency and totally over complicated it. They didn’t want to discuss and got upset with us who had been up since 5:30M helping people out of the flood water!! The Air BnB was in a great location and very reasonably priced for Paris in the summer! Thank you so much for watching 😊
Thank you so much for this informative set of videos. I am going on the same cruise this year November 23rd, solo and am so looking forward to it. I just wondered, how was the Bay of Biscay during your voyage? I've heard it can be rough or smooth whatever the time of year! 🤩
Thank you for taking the time to watch! same dates as we went last year! Bay of Biscay on one point of the cruise was a mill pond. coming back it was very choppy , we had taken sickness tablets and bands but we didn’t need them at all even when it was choppy we felt very safe and the captain keeps you updated. Try not to worry as you can never tell what the BOB will be like Hope you have a great cruise 😊
Great vlog, nice to see that there’s still a C&A somewhere in the world! I’m off to Gran Canaria later on in the year and I’ve not been since I was a kid so thanks for showing what it’s like 👍
@@ALifeintheParks at least there is not as much photographic evidence of when we were young! We are back in Gran Canaria on a cruise and we are looking forward to it!!
They are good value! we have just booked a Marella cruise for this December as they had some good discounts! Thank you for watching very much appreciated 😊
It is a good job one of us is very organised!! The sunrise was lovely to watch whilst travelling! We had a lovely anniversary thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch Pearl & Brian!
Excellent video, loved the intro telling us what we have to look forward to next. The lodge looks lovely, love the outdoors decking space. Think we would spend a lot of time out there. I forgot France shuts on a Sunday- good reminder for us next week, we must get food on the Saturday 😂 Looking forward to the next episode ❤
Thank you for taking the time to watch truly appreciated! The lodge was good but small! we did spend a lot of time outside! yes make sure you remember it all shuts by lunchtime except for Val d’Europe! Hope you have a great holiday!
Great vlog, very informative indeed. I enjoyed The Beach House on Ventura but not on Iona and I that was because of what I ordered. I completely agree about The Epicurean, such a great experience and the crepes Suzette is incredible. I really enjoyed seeing the Christmas Decorations up in the Atrium. New subscriber here 👍
Virtuosa was very stylish loved the stairs and LED sky dome! it really was lovely to board that early got to have a good look around! the ice cream certainly looked good and I bet you guys would try it! we actually never got to try any disappointedly! one for next time and the chocolates!! Thank you so so much for watching very much appreciated!
I am not sure on this might be worth contacting MSC as I’m sure there will be people to support people who cannot walk down the stairs. sorry we cannot be more helpful
Excellent tour around the campsite, loved seeing around the shop and looking at all the food & gifts. Love the bar area and all the outdoor seating. The campsite really looks nice and love all the hedge screenings for a bit of privacy. We were looking at the food truck days and all looks fantastic and you wouldn’t need to take any food away. Great to have a look inside the pods, shepherds hut and the lodge. We thought Otter was our favourite which we would love to stay in. Thanks for sharing we found it a very useful guide 👏😍
It’s a lovely site isn’t it!! Otter is lovely and think the shepherds hut with the wood burning stove would be so cosy on cooler evenings!! we have to say we love the fish & chips! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch 😊
Excellent video, campsite looks amazing, charcuterie board and cream tea caught my eye, in the info book. If only we could put tents up that quick 😂 Love your camping set up, we also take our Tassimo coffee machine, Johns perfect draft beer machine and the George Foreman Grill 😂Plus a fan heater 😂 Loved hearing the rain on your tent at night - our favourite bit about camping.
I never thought to take athe Tassimo machine! we did contemplate the air fryer once!!😂 Wish ir was as quick putting it away the little bags!!😂 It was lovely listening to the sound of the rain when we were all cosy in bed! Thank you for watching much appreciated 😊
Excellent cabin tour, lots of really useful information, especially what’s included and how to get breakfast delivered. One time get the pizza delivery it’s fab. I’ve watched 2 MSC internal cabin tours recently and noticed that you only get a single hanging wardrobe. We’ve done a few MSC balcony cabins which all had double wardrobes. It’s got me wondering why the difference? Agree with you if you were a couple for a week it wouldn’t be big enough- where are the guys supposed to hang their stuff 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for watching. yes I was surprised how little wardrobe space there was. weird how balcony cabins get more they must have a bigger floor space!
