Hi everyone! I'm back with another Cruising with Mr Carrington, this time it's my first time on board a P&O Cruise Ship, sailing on Ventura. Join me on a 4 night cruise from Southampton, England to Amsterdam where I experience an evening canal boat tour & visit the world famous tulips at the Keukenhof Gardens. Hope you enjoy! :)

Hi everyone, hope you enjoy the vlog! Here’s a breakdown of costs for anyone asking: The cruise was £442.50 per person based on 2 sharing a balcony cabin. I didn’t opt for the drinks package, you can take a bottle of alcohol on board with you and the bars are reasonably priced in my opinion to pay as you go. I booked it through SeaScanner and used a discount code they had at the time. Train to Southampton from London was £23 return, you can get advance singles from £6. Coach + Keukenhof ticket 36 euro + approx 20 euro Uber each way to the coach departure point from the cruise terminal. You can also book this as an excursion with P&O. Evening canal boat tour 19 Euro. Hope that helps! 😀

What a wonderful trip - the flowers in the Keukenhof gardens are stunning - and I loved the diving ducks! Such beautiful floral displays, and I remember that the perfume in the glasshouses was just amazing. It was good to have time in Amsterdam as well, and the mini cruise made it extra special. Thank you for taking us along to enjoy it all.

Hi Mr. Carrington. I started binging your channel at about Christmas time and I am about halfway through through (I have gone backwards then decided to start at the beginning). I had just watched your trip to Amsterdam in 2019 when you posted this one. I haven't been to Amsterdam but it reminds me of Copenhagen. I absolutely loved seeing Copenhagen by boat when I was there. Thanks for the little tour today ❤

Hi Mr Carrington. I'd love to see you on a cruise. Ventura looks pretty good. You can ask the steward to change the beds to a queen. I looked the towel animals and the cake was brilliant. You can't have a drinks package on cruises less than 5 days. I like the short cruises, Amsterdam looks lovely in the sunshine. It rained constantly when I was there. The prices for the cruise are pretty good.

@juliebrooke6099 3 ай бұрын

You can ask the steward to rearrange the beds if it’s not configured how you want. Great that you can get down to Southampton so easily and reasonably for a cruise.

If you have time to spend in Southampton, please take a look at the Tudor House Museum and the SeaCity Museum. there is also an art gallery at the civic center with an Anthony Gormley statue - for those who don't know he is famous for the Angel of the North statue.

We were on Ventura for 35 days earlier this year to USA & Caribean. New Orleans was fabulous.

Great blog and quick turnaround time, well done.

@lucysmum1895 3 ай бұрын

Mr C, thanks for your Ventura report. I’ll sail on her in Sep to Amsterdam so it must be the same itinerary as yours. I cruised on Fred Olsen’s Borealis when you were on Ventura to Rotterdam and Amsterdam. I missed Keukenhof this year because I toured to a clog workshop. I went to this tulip park last year on Saga’s old river ship. Maybe I’ll revisit the park next year on TUI’s river cruise I’ve booked. As for the evening canal cruise in Amsterdam, it wasn’t dark yet for us to appreciate the lights on the canal side. But we saw the Amsterdam sunset instead. I’ve booked an evening walking tour in town from Ventura. June of London

That all looked really lovely! a nice cheeky break away. Not been to Amsterdam ourselves, and only ever been on one cruise for our 25th WA on the med. We didn't get on well with the cruise company (I won't name them) and we were cruisng for 13 days, which was a bit long really for us. I seriously didn't like being at sea in the dark at night, I felt the darkness smothered me! However I do fancy a river cruise at some point, where you can get off and explore cities and towns onced they have docked. Have you ever thought or a river cruise? This was a really interesting Vlog and I think a 4 day break I could cope with and P&O seem nice and easy going. Only ever heard good things about P&O. Thanks for taking us along with you x

Oh well done on the quick turnaround. Great video, but why are the members of your party soooo shy? Anyway, get that roof garden ready, we bought some bulbs at one of the flower markets the other year and they’ve birthed some glorious tulips here in East Lothian. I hope happy birthdays were had, but don’t buy into cruising rubber ducks; that way lies madness. As for a future trip, I’d love to see you try an Ambassador sortie taking in Antwerp.
