I'm from Blarney the castle you visited. Where the guy was playing the bag pipes. As kids we would take candles 🕯 from the church in blarney. And 2 or 3 of us would sneak into the castle grounds. And where he's playing the bag pipes. We would ask tourists would they like a tour of the dungeons and litterly make it up as we went in and all we knew for shore was in the end of the dungeon the slop of food was poured into prisoners there. Well at least that's what we were told. When we finish the tour we would say give us how much you want lol. Often got 1 pound often got 5. And after a few tours we would get chased out by the castle security man. We didn't care we had our ice cream money or sweets. Depended on the weather we were only 10 or 12 years old. The caves you went into I slept in twice. I was in the scouts at the time. Never got a good night sleep cold water would slurp onto your head during the night. Great memories from living in Blarney in 90s
im actually contemplating this or the warwick for 25 , my only drawback was your saying it was a public beach, which makes me wonder what it is like at night are these vendors in the way when the sun starts setting or at night ? how is the food quality and are you allowed to take it to the beach ?
The good we had was excellent and I don’t think there are any restrictions about bringing it to beach. I don’t think the vendors will block sunset views but they are annoying. Most beaches in Nassau are public.
Bill, I have just watched your videos on ‘British isles’ Cruises, specifically those on Ireland and was surprised yet delighted as to how many Irish People living in Ireland took great exception to your titles and the non attempt to identify that you were in Ireland not the british isles. For a man who speaks of his history knowledge you don’t have a clue. For 800 years the English oppressed Ireland - starved us out, outlawed our religion, precluded catholics from owning/renting land, 1845 to 1852 caused The Great Famine due to trade agreements e.g. dairy and wheat harvest’s exported to Britain and their overseas territories. Which brings us to Home Rule Bill - Passed, but not Law as WWI 1914 broke out. 1916 the Easter Rising, all Irish Leaders shot! Eventually leading to 1921 formation of Irish Free State. Finally in 1924 the Republic of Ireland’s independence was globally recognised. So, trying to blame the cruise line for the mis labelling is just a pitiful attempt to pass the blame. The vast majority of comments pull you up on this. Own your lack of knowledge and understanding, it’s the least you could do.
Thanks for the history lesson I already knew. And in fact 96% of those who I have responded to this video have liked it. Nowhere in the video did I say that Dublin or Cork were in the British Isles. I am assuming you didn’t actually watch the video. I was recently on a Greek Island cruise that left from Rome. Most Italians figured that out without offense. My family came to America during the potato famine and I am actually a distant cousin of Michael Collins. I support Ireland 100% but I do not support political correctness.
@@ftbeat and yet again you are still not getting the point!! Please re-read my first sentence, the titles identify it as british isles, you and you alone made no effort to identify the country as Ireland. As your videos are directed at Americans etc., they should know what country you are in. I suppose it can’t be helped, the us goes not have a good education system. The Italians were not oppressed by Greece for 800 years 🤨 Delighted your family survived the ghost ships to America. Not everyone did. Any proof of you being related to ‘The Big Fella’ just curious 🧐 Finally you don’t support political correctness “conformity to prevailing liberal or radical opinion, in particular by carefully avoiding forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalise or insult groups of people who are (have been) socially disadvantaged or discriminated against”, so you are an uneducated insensitive buffoon towards any country’s history and culture. Happy travels, just don’t come back to Ireland ⛔️⛔️
As a tourist video, it would be wise to educate yourself on what is acceptable and what isn't within the country you're in. "The British isles" is an outdated geographic term that is not looked on favourably by most Irish. I'm aware that it was the name of your cruise, but given the history between Ireland and the UK, a smart and clued in tourist / vlogger, should know that referring to Ireland as part of the British isles is going to draw a lot of anger your way. Ignorance really isn't an excuse here. Do better. The song is called The wild Rover.
@@ftbeat well those cruise lines need to get with the times, stop being ignorant and have a bit of respect for what the Irish people suffered through with 800 years of oppression.
We were on a cruise in Alaska and in the area of the glaciers. All of a sudden here comes an excursion with A LOT of people on it. As it was a NCL excursion, they were delivered very late back to the ship by the tour excursion company. I will be taking my 42nd cruise all on NCL next month, this was the most interesting one due to tour company being late.
Ok I have a strange question we have 3 boy old enough to drink but are special needs and take meds we do not want them to drink will they put a band on them so they can't order alcohol
Just came back from trip and we went to paradise Beach my thoughts: STAY AWAY, PARADISE HELL. Rip off. Tiny beach area with seaweed food was ok but we ordered and lucky to get some of the food. The pool water was got like bathtub water. Place is a joke.
I agree Cozumel beaches aren’t the greatest. Not sure how you think it’s a rip off or how it was “hell”. We have been there many times, found the food and service to be great and a good value. Sorry your experience was so bad.
Just found your channel. Glad you had a good time. I watched your part 1 video and now this one. wow you certainly got around! Please don't forget though that London is NOT England. I hope you come back as there is SO much more to see. Thanks for the video.
@@ftbeat I could go on and on but to keep it short, I would suggest the Lake District, all the older towns and castles, the West country (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset), the Cotswolds, Jurassic coast. That should keep you going for about a month :)
The port of Dún Laoghaire used to be called Dunleary, an anglicisation of the old Irish name (like nearly all Irish placenames). It was changed to Kingstown in 1821 after a visit from the King of Engand, but when the country gained independence (or actually just before, during the War of Independence), it was changed back, however it was decided to adopt the old Irish language name, but the plain people of Ireland preferred the Dunleary pronunciation and stuck with that. It seems like only RTE newsreaders use the Irish pronunciation these days, which sounds like Doon Lay-our-ah . Great video thanks.
The British Isles is a Colonial term, it belongs in the past. Too many people died under British occupation for us to accept that offensive term. The Lions team is called the British AND Irish Lions team for a reason, though English journalist have to be constantly reminded of the fact. Prehaps we should rename it the Celtic Isles , possibly more acceptable to everyone.
Great video !!! have you done the 14 day Europe- Trans-Atlantic Cruise ? We are looking at booking that trip April of 2025 and then the Cunard trip back to NY...any input would be great :-)
This is basically a step by step guide of how to piss off the Irish. Basically don't do or say anything he says in this video. Or if you want to start world war 3 then refer to Ireland as part of the british isles or the united kingdom.
@@ftbeatnow I am seriously pi55ed. Your lack of knowledge of understanding Ireland is beyond comprehension. Read an actual book, learn actual/factual Irish History.
