Thanks for your great info. Do you know how far the national express bus drop off to the ncl cruise terminal in southampton? can we walk or we need to take a taxi to the cruise port? Thanks so much for your prompt response.

You are definitely a fast learner. The videos are excellent

This is a very enjoyable series, the commentary is superb, thank you

Stand up rollercoasters are very awkward tbh but they are very cool

The best advice that you gave here was to go onto the website of any place that you want to visit and book tickets IN ADVANCE! And do it, preferably up to 30 days in advance. Believe me please, that’s the only way to do stuff, if you do not want to be disappointed. Far too many people just rock up to some really popular sites without researching first and they find that they can’t get in because there are no available places left. PS: Irrespective of how cruise lines characterise various places in their advertising, please be aware that the term “British Isles” is extremely offensive to native Irish people in Ireland and around the world. It is a term that was coined a long time ago during colonial times when the British Empire tried unsuccessfully to eradicate Irish people, Irish culture and Irish heritage. Nowadays it is only used by very poorly informed people. And the place name Dun Laoighaire is an old Irish name, spelled out in the Irish language. Pronounced correctly, it can appear phonetically in the English language like this - “Doon Leeahreh”. The word “Dunleary” is an anglicised version that appeared during the British occupation of Ireland. Remember, the English language is just several hundred years old while the Irish language is about three thousand years old.

Bill, this video is 100% on point. Your reporting is awesome. I actually witnessed pickpocketing and how a middle aged couple entered the Vatican museum with my tour and then said they'd catch up with us so they could mingle in the crowds for pickpocketing. They took a wallet and apple airpods right off the check-in conveyor belt. And...the taxi/Uber situation is exactly how you explained it. Love the video and Looking forward to the others. I think my trip trailed yours by days.

Great video. I was just in Rome and got to see what I missed

Hi Bill, great video. I have a question about the shuttle from the airport to the hotel, do you need to schedule that in advance? My group has been trying to schedule that but Riu is saying that don’t do that. Did you schedule a shuttle directly at the LIR airport?

Enjoyed this video very much. I am curious why cabin accommodations are not addressed.

Hi Bill.. It's pronounced Cove The bh in Cobh is prounounced as a V

Can you go in the water of the lazy river?

Spell check would be a good start before posting, never mind the insulting use of the offensive term british isles 👎

Thanks!

Great video I am going on this cruise ship soon. I learned a lot 🎉😊

The term the British Isles is an outdated Geographical term that is not recognised by the Irish Government nor by the Majority of Irish people living in Ireland.

Is the sofa in the junior suite a pull out or a regular sofa?

I'm a native of Greenock and I'm glad you like it even though you're pronouncing the name wrongly! I'm glad you got to see the mighty River Clyde. I hope you find us friendly and welcoming! Haste ye back!

Not to nitpick, but I'm from Greenock and your pronouncing it wrong. It's pronounced Green ock not gren ock. It's from derived from green oak as in oak tree. Hope that helps. We'll done in pronouncing Glasgow properly usually Americans pronounce glas gow instead of glas go. Hope that helps and hope you enjoyed your time.

Water down drinks, foods ok, it's OK there. People sitting in pool for hours drinking..nasty ass water

Thank you for showing the beauty and history of Scotland and for putting up for our infamously poor weather ! Dreich is a word you should google ! Now, could I say for a North American, your pronunciation of Scots place names is so correct that I am embarrassed by my North American, 1st cousins who can't pronounce Edinburgh properly ! 😂

Is food included?

Do you have a video of SECRETS PANAMA?

Are the flea markets near. Punta Cana and take a bus to? We liked going to MERCADO 28 in CANCUN and were hoping there was something similar in PUNTA CANA.

Secrets The VINE preferred club in Cancun was amazing!

I’m thinking about moving there in a couple months so I appreciated your content. I want to go because my preference is a more relaxed vibe. But thanks to your video I was able to see there are actually more nice stores than I expected. You are allowed to not like it, everyone is different. Thank you again.

This is great - we're going on a 10-Day British Isles (Ireland & Scotland) with Princess Cruises next April 2025. Love the info and pace of your videos. Thank you Bill!

Great tips

Appreciate the review. My wife and I vacation with four other couples and have a great time. We're going in January 2025 and really looking forward to it!

This is a joke, right? Dogs do that.

Does Paradise Beach have an area with fans like that or any areas to stay cool if over heated? We go in September so probably super hot still.

My first cruise ever will be on this ship in January. Thanks for the great info. I have noticed the price of excursions fluctuating a lot. Would you recommend pe booking?

Terracotta or Talavera? Big difference! Cruise ship people. There for a few hours and know little about what they are talking about. In the 15 years that I have lived in Progreso/Chelem ... I have never felt afraid. The people are kind and hospitable. We are in one of the Lowest Crime States in the Country. When you talk Cozumel or Cancun, you are in the state of Quintana Roo. Not as crime free as Yucatan. FYI ... Yucatan, Tlaxcala, Chiapas, Tamaulipas and Nayarit are the safest states in Mexico. Personally I find it insulting for a day tourist to make disparaging comments about a place that they know so little about in fact. We have huge expat communities in the Yucatan. Most of us are quite satisfied with our homes and community. Let me review your State ... New York ... Rats are a top concern for New Yorkers alongside crime, homelessness and exorbitant rents. Previous measures such as widespread traps and the use of poisonous bait have failed to successfully eradicate the problem. We don't seem to have these issues. SMH

Hi, enjoyed your video helpful, just too bad no internet connections on desk between beds . . . .we are going from Boston to Quebec. Being Canadian, I found the pricing very high to day trips from Princess. I believe you do a lot of you own independent trips. Appreciate suggestions how you booked your trips. I was wondering how I could do that from BC Canada Happy July 4th holiday, regards, Jollean

Hi, I watched you video on New England and Canada on Princess cruise out of New York. about 9 month ago, it was very helpful. We are going from Boston to Quebec. I read that you do your own independent day trips in each port. I found princess cruise trip very expensive, especially as we are Canadian. Any suggestion, happy cruising, Jollean

Stunningly ignorant take on Ireland! You apparently don’t know the place names in Ireland were systematically Anglicized in the centuries long campaign by the Brits (you know, the ones the “British Isles” are named after) to stamp out Irish culture. Your inability to make sense of the place names is just one more of several badges of total ignorance on display in this video. Read a book sometime and take this video down in the meantime. Sheesh, what a bloviating clown car of a video!

Thank you!!! My husband and I are going in September! We've booked our trip and can't wait!!! Great video!!!

great video , for shopping Grafton st is good with Stevens green at the top ,, temple bar is a tourist trap , price's are crazy , so those Looking for quiter sight s killiney hill for views its clos to dun Laoghaire and dalkey for food etc, be careful on o Connell st😊

Ireland is not part of Great Britain. Please amend.

Female solo traveller from Spain going to Dublin next month! Can't wait. Very informative video. Thank you so much.

This is how the cruises do it. Carnival: *get you to dance so you dont feel the boat moving* Disney: "Hu! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 "When You Wish Upon a Star" Reagan: 10-0 countdown "Love Boat x2"

They like disney

Dude. You just disrespected everyone you ever met in The Republic of Ireland. It is not part of “the British Isles”. It is not part of “ the United Kingdom.

This video was very informative! Thank you!! I'm so excited for our Vista cruise in September. St. Maarten is on the itinerary, as well as St. Thomas, San Juan, and Amber Cove. Maho Beach is a bucket list destination for me, and St. Thomas is, for my husband. Thanks so much for making this!

Wish Carnival did that

What was the occasion?

Where do you book through

Hello! Traveling to Cozumel in April 2025 and want to book a visit to Paradise Beach Club. I watched your video and was concerned about staring at all of those inflatable water floats while lounging at the beach. Is there any where to get away from them? Do they have a beach section that has unobstructed views of the ocean? It looks like a great place from what you showed in your video.

Very cool
