British Isles Cruise - Episode 02 - Embarkation Day on the Carnival Pride 

More videos coming soon!

I am sure you will love it! We had an amazing adventure and would love to do this type of trip again.

LOL she has some great one-liners! You will see more of her in the next few videos we publish (new one soon!)

Thank you!

This was not Uber, it was a transportation service. We had to pre-pay a deposit which meant we would have lost the money if we cancelled. We were not late for our cruise - just later than we had planned.

Your comment regarding driver's nationality is inappropriate and rude, bordering on xenophobic.

@@jessicamankowska2921 oh get a life! No matter what nationality he was he was bloody rude and had no manners

@@howardgrice6682 that's exactly my point. He was rude regardless of his nationality, not because of it.

@@jessicamankowska2921 saying someone 'sounds eastern European' isn't being rude or xenophobic. it's what adults call an observation.

I agree! I certainly won't be using that company again - and cannot say I would recommend them to anyone else either. 🤦‍♀️ So glad the day ended better than it started!

With respect, he is clearly not a very good taxi driver, but if he lives in Britain, he is British!

Thank goodness! Glad to hear this is not a normal thing 👍

We were on the same cruise then! These videos are from that same week 😉 It was such a great trip! We have several more video to edit for this vacation - so look for those soon! We are headed to Athens, Greece next...

Thank you, for us, it was not necessarily about the speed of arrival. Two of those in our group have mobility issues. So it is, more so, about ease and comfort while traveling. And that usually means a car service works best for our needs.

@@mileswithme The trains in the UK are geared up for people traveling with mobility needs, you just need to give them 24 hrs notice if you can. They will have people who would not only help you on the train but with your bags as well. I'm a 👨‍🦽 user and I use them all the time with only the odd little issue. The best thing is that the assistance is free.

Neither Uber nor black cab. It was a private service - which we can't recommend based off our experience. We did learn about the education/testing for the Black Cab drivers - and that's amazing! Next time we visit, the black cabs are definitely our preferred way of getting around the city!

The cliffs have great symbolic value in Britain because they face towards continental Europe across the narrowest part of the English Channel (approximately 20 miles (32 km) between coasts), where invasions have historically threatened and against which the cliffs form a symbolic guard. During the Second World War, thousands of allied troops on the little ships in the Dunkirk evacuation saw the welcoming sight of the cliffs and in the summer of 1940, reporters gathered at Shakespeare Cliff to watch aerial dogfights between German and British aircraft during the Battle of Britain. Also made famous by the 1942 wartime classic "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" by Dame Vera Lynn (you can find it on you tube)

@@TheShellie35 Yes I know all that but why are they described as infamous and not famous?

They are coming! Promise...

We definitely look forward to visiting again!

We have learned that when traveling, things happen. Sometimes they are within our control, and sometimes not. So, we appreciate the journey, even when it is filled with "speed bumps"... Getting angry would only detract from all the AMAZING parts of the journey - which we are honored to share with everyone. 🤩

Coming, we promise!

Nooo... Lot of those from Northern Ireland don't see/call themselves Irish. They are British... Full on British citizens, alot of the Republic don't even see those in the North as Irish...

Yes, we may be Americans, but we are aware of this. The cruise itself - from the cruise company - was called the "British Isles Cruise". Thank you for the feedback! 😁

ireland is part of the british isles

The British Isles is a geographical name for the islands which include Ireland the larges one called Great Britain and smaller one called Ireland. The British isles are not only made up of the 4 countries in the UK., they include all the islands like Scottish islands and the Isle of Mann etc. You are getting it mixed up with the UK, which is not geographical, but is a political and economic union, whereas British Isles is geographical.

@@claregallagher8550 The Term British Isles is very much a Political term. If you look up Irelands Territorial waters geographically you will see that there is no way that Ireland can be called a British Isle. Once Ireland regained its Independence in 1922 Ireland reclaimed its Territorial waters.

@@billynuts1184 Ireland is not a British Isle. That term ended when Ireland regained its Independence and Territorial waters in 1922.

Thank you for that! We will add it to the list of "must do"... 🥰

2nd that.. Tons of history in and around Portsmouth, great to go from Portsmouth Dockyard and stroll thru Gunwharf and then along the front to Southsea Castle..

I agree, fantastic historical dock and forts along the coast!

I’ve visited the victory ship there 4 times over the years and always find it utterly facinating
