Ahh fantastic! I'm sure you'll have a great time 🤩

Ahh have a fantastic time!! 🤩 🏖

Oh really?! I bet that was worrying! 😳 Did you have to evacuate your hotel?

@@seetheworldwiththekids yes I it was very scary 😟

Yes we mostly go with Tui if we want a package too. They've always been really good 👍🏻 😊

👍🏻 Have a great day! ✨️

Ahh have a fab time!! 🤩

Thank you so much for your comment 🙏🏼 I know, I don't know what's going off with all the fast food places lately, they've all been the same around here! Yes Rufford Abbey is always a lovely walk and the ice cream is a bonus! Hope you're ok lovely! 🫶🏼

Thank you for your lovely message Margaret. I'm so happy they helped. Did you enjoy your time on Iona and would you cruise again? Have a great weekend! ~ Nikki xo 🤍

Thanks so much Paul! I'm pleased to hear they've helped plan some of your trip. Ooooh an Italy cruise sounds beautiful, and if you could find one to Croatia on the same itinerary I bet that would be a wonderful cruise! Have a great time on Iona, we'd love to hear what you thought to it if you fancy letting us know when you get back! 😊 Thanks again for watching and for your lovely comments! Best wishes to you too and have a great weekend! ~ Nikki xo 🙋🏼‍♀️

Thank you Pete & Lisa! Glad you enjoyed it! We would love to do another cruise, we saw a great itinerary for the summer which had Greece and Italy but it was booked up for families unfortunately. We'll keep looking though and hopefully get another scheduled in the diary! 🤩 Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Thank you Neil! Yes loved P&O, very organised and their whole team, crew, terminal and office staff are a credit to the company. They were all so helpful and friendly (from what we experienced) Thank you for watching and commenting and hope you'll enjoy seeing our future trips.... hopefully another cruise one day! 🤞🏻🛳 Have a fab weekend!

Ahhh thank you Stephen, I'm glad you've liked them! Yes Bilbao!! 🙌🏻 Would love to take the boys there, I went when I was younger and loved it. The art gallery is fantastic! We will definitely have a look into that, thank you for the ideas! 🤗👍🏻

@seetheworldwiththekids yes bilbao is fantastic absolutely love it

Florida 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

😂🤷🏼‍♀️🎢 2027 Dear! 🤩

I'm glad you heard the same as when Mike didn't hear what he said I was thinking I'd misheard it! 😆 Not sure if you've seen The Simpsons but it reminded me of Bart calling Moe's Tavern! 🤭 Thanks so much for watching!

Hi Neil! Glad to hear you enjoyed the food on board. Sindhu was lovely, the only thing we weren't keen on was the banana pancakes, not to our taste unfortunately, but everything else was delicious. 😋 The animal guys used costumes, they must have been very warm! Great idea though. Yes we have a little disembarkation video coming next week and then that will be the last of the cruise vlogs until the next time. We will be posting our other holidays though and some of our days out in between if you fancy a watch of those sometime. ☺️ Thank you for watching! 🤍

Haha! We didn't last long!... It was freezing! 😂

I'm sorry, I don't think I've seen this 🤔

Hi Neil! Yes it was good, they were very quick to put extra activities on for everyone. We did claim with Holiday Extras for the missed port, we're doing the same! We did it last year too when our flight got cancelled, may as well put it towards something we love 🤩

@neilgray7586 Have a lovely time in France, which area are you visiting? The children still haven't been to France so if there's anywhere you'd recommend please let us know 😊

@seetheworldwiththekids We are staying in the Loire Valley near Le. Mans. If you like a bit of being, then Versailles is worth a visit along with a visit to Paris.

@@seetheworldwiththekids Two completely different theme parks worth researching are Puy du Fou in Les Epessess Futuroscope, close to Poitiers. We went to both some time ago when we had teenagers.

Oooh thank you, I will take a look into Versailles. Yes would love to go to Paris to do a bit of sightseeing 😊

Hi Paul, thanks again for watching! Yes definitely try The Beach House, the boys were all looking forward to cooking their own steak. They said it was one of the best they've had... and they've eaten a LOT of steak! 😂 We ended up leaving the Club House as it was a little too busy for us, great atmosphere with the live music but just very loud and lots of people! We ended up in the Emerald Bar but all the prices are pretty similar, especially for beers, wines and mixer drinks. I thought the prices were very good, I've heard that drinks from other cruise lines are more expensive, so better to get the packages from them. P&O are more like average pub prices in the UK so if you aren't big drinkers it probably would be better to pay as you go. Thanks again for watching, I'm glad it's helped you decide to try The Beach House! If we went again we would book this without hesitation. Well worth it in our opinion. 👍

Hi Martin & Holly! Aw thank you so much for your lovely comment, I'm glad you've found them helpful. Will you be going on Iona soon? If so, I hope you have a great time! 🤩🫶 Thank you for watching!

Hi Alan, thank you, it was lovely 😋 Would definitely book to eat here again. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼

@loenskylift1011 Thank you for running such a wonderful experience, you have a very special place there. We had a great time! Thank you for your comment ☺️🫶🏼

Hi Paul! 👋🏻 Ahh that's fantastic news! And congratulations for 2026, what a way to celebrate! 🤩 It will soon come round, we booked over a year in advance and it flew! It helped watching everyone's videos pop up on KZfaq, they really help you to look forward to it and plan things you want to do. Do you have Facebook? If you haven't already there's some groups on there which have lots of useful info. There should also be one to join for the week you're going if you search for your cruise number... ours was G403 I think. I'm sure you will really love Norway, we would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for watching the vlogs! 🙏🏼🤗

@@seetheworldwiththekids not on Facebook at the moment but maybe nearer the time I'll have a look on it. Really can't wait. Norway looks so good . Cruise number G610. Cabin number 14226

Ahh deck 14, same as us! ☺️ Have a wonderful time! 🤩

@@seetheworldwiththekids small world eh? Lol. Take care

Thank you Paul! Oh yes, we have to do things even when the weather is bad, if not we'd never do anything with how our weather is here in England! 😄 We were reeeeally cold though even with our big coats on! Soon warmed up back on the ship though 👍 Eeee! Wish we were counting down to go again 🤩 Bet you can't wait!!

@dazzaangie Good morning! 👋🏻 Thank you so much for watching the vlogs, glad to hear you like them! The excursion we booked with P&O was £42 for adults and £26 for children. You check which coach to get on on the board next to the lifts, jump on and takes you straight to the aquarium. I'd day it takes about 10-15 minutes. It then picked us back up at lunchtime. If you fancy doing the trip on your own you can either walk which is around 45 minutes I believe. Go by taxi, I'll add the link to book one in the description box above. Not sure exactly how much this is, but from what I've read should be around £10-£15. Or you could get the hop on bus. More expensive, but could be a good option to be able to see other sites on the way and back again. This is about £32 for adults and £16 for children. The tickets from the sea park are about £19 for adults, £9 for children up to 15 and a family ticket is about £145. All the prices are around about as they're dependent on the exchange rate but gives you an idea. 👍🏻 Links to the Atlantic Sea Park, hop on bus & land train are in the description box and I'll add the taxi link now 😊 I'd say it was nice that we booked it with P&O as all the planning was sorted and didn't have to think about it, just jumped on the coach that morning. But, I think we would have been fine to make our own way there, I think we'd have been confident in getting there and back ok. There's also public buses but read that they can be a little bit unreliable so timings might be a bit off from the schedule. I hope this helps and have a wonderful time! 🤩 ~ Nikki 🙋🏼‍♀️ Ps... sorry for the essay! 🙈

Hi. Many thanks for the info

Hiya Neil! It really was... sooo cold! The aquarium was really good though, the boys enjoyed it. It's a shame we didn't see much of Alesund itself but we needed to warm up after our morning of getting soaked 😂 It looked a lovely place from the bits we did see. Ooh dried elk sounds different, was it a little bit like jerky? Mike and Spencer like to try things like that, they're more adventurous than me! 😆

@@seetheworldwiththekids The elk was like a salami, but a lot more expensive. It was half price at 50Kr. We made it to the top of the viewing point, even windier and colder at the top.

Good that it was on offer 👍🏻 especially if you haven't tried it before. I bet it was! Did you do the steps?! They looked hard work! I was hoping to get the land train up there, one to do next time 🙂

@seetheworldwiththekids Yes, we did the steps. I didn't realise that there was a land train. By the time we reached the top, we only had time for a couple of photographs, and then we had to come down again to go and get our coach.

@neilgray7586 Oh no, that's a shame you didn't get much time up there 😔 I bet you're happy to say you conquered the steps though 👏🏼 That's a challenge in itself! Have a lovely Sunday whatever you may be up to 😊 We're off to the park in a bit for the boys to go on their bike and scooter, making the most of some sunshine, finally! 🚲🛴🌞

Hi would you say you can do the sea park and then visit the town all in one day ? X

​@danievans3246 Hi Dani! Yes definitely. Plenty of time to do both. This would have been our plan if the weather wasn't so bad that day. It really was freezing 🥶 😂 Have a great time if you visit 💕

Hi Natasha! Thank you for watching! Yes they did, I believe they had little pictures of the allergens. Our youngest, Charlie has a peanut allergy and as they were simple for him to check whether the dishes were safe, we didn't mind him going up by himself. I hope you have a lovely time! - I'm sure you will ☺️ It was a lovely place. All the staff were really nice so if you do have an issue or need to double check anything I'm sure they would happily help. Any other questions let me know! 🤗

@@seetheworldwiththekids thank you so much for a quick response! That’s so helpful to know and definitely puts me at ease! I have a gluten allergy so it’s reassuring to hear you and your little one had a positive experience with the food! 😊

Ahh I see, I don't think I showed much of the gluten free options, so sorry about that... That will be something I will focus on in future trips as like you say, knowing things like this in advance does put your mind at ease. Thank you for that 😊 Have a fantastic time!! 🤩🌞🏖

Hi Jane! 👋🏻 Thank you so much for your comment and watching the vlog! Glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise too! I've seen some beautiful pictures with the sun shining recently, it's making me want to book a summer cruise to Norway. It looks even more breathtaking! I bet they will have a great time, fingers crossed there's a little bit of snow left. I know the igloo has been closed off now as it's unsafe to go inside as it's melting unfortunately. Thanks again! ~ Nikki 💕

Ah really? There were a few deep spots while we were there! How was Royal Caribbean? Their ships look fantastic! Hopefully we'll get to try them out, I think Spencer & Charlie would love them with all the amenities. Which ports did you visit? I can imagine the different cruise lines like to add a few different ones to their itineraries from others to give a bit of variation? Thank you so much for watching and for subscribing! We hope you like our next adventures! 🤗🌟🌍

@@seetheworldwiththekids we sailed to Haugesund which initially seemed a bit boring but there is so much history and sitës to visit there. We done Olden which is amazing and we have half decent Vlogs on the Glacier and Sky Lift. Bergen and Geiranger were also both great! We sailed Anthem of the Seas which would be great for kids. It had bumper cars and a playstion room as well as the other kids areas. The larger Royal ships would be amazing but everyone seems to be building bigger and better to complete with each other! Look forward to following your travels and thanks very much for subbing us. Pete & Lisa 👍👋

I'm looking forward to seeing what you got up to, we missed Haugesund unfortunately as the weather was awful. Just means we'll have to go again! We would like to see the Glacier next time too 🤩 Anthem of the Seas sounds amazing!! Definitely going to have to give that one a try! Yes they do seem to be getting bigger... I wonder how big they'll go, surely can't get any bigger! 😄 Lovely to talk to you Pete & Lisa, I'll be looking forward to seeing your adventures too! Speak to you soon ~ Nikki 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hiya, thank you for watching. We paid £177.70 for the 4 of us. But prices change from May. All the prices can be found here: www.oldencruise.com/shore-excursions/loen-skylift-including-transfer/ You just need to put the prices into Google to see what they exchange into as GBP. If this link doesn't work, there's one in the description box to this video you can click on. Hope this helps! 😊

Hi Tony! Oooh not long now! The eclair was from the Horizon Buffet around 3pm-ish. They serve afternoon tea type items around that time which I think is a lovely idea 😊 Have a great time! 🤩 Thank you for watching!

It really was 😋 The boys said their pizzas were really good and the dessert I had was one of the best I've had. Love lemon things though! 🍋 😄

Aww thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment! I bet you all can't wait! Of course, most of the Olive Grove dishes were included apart from just a few items which had a small charge, not expensive at all. The Beach House and Sindhu you have to prebook before you sail and you pay a cost per person as a service charge/deposit so to speak. Then again, same as the Olive Grove, most items on the Beach House menu are included, there's just a few items like the lava rock steak etc that have a small fee on top. (Any extras just get added to your account which you can pay at reception whenever you like... some people pay it all at the end, whereas we settled up half way through our holiday just so we knew where we stood) At Sindhu everything has a small fee, around £5 for a main meal around £3 for starters and desserts. And I believe Keel & Cow, the Glass House and Epicurean are the same as Sindhu where dishes have a small cost, but we didn't get chance to try these this time. All the food in The Quays is totally included, we really liked eating here, more so than the Horizon Buffet. And we enjoyed all of the main dining rooms which are also included. (These are Coral & Pearl and the back on deck 7 & 6. And Aqua & Opal to the sides of deck 6.) On Celebration night we pre booked the Chef's Table, this is included and was very nice, the food was extra special. Charlie tried his best but it was just a little too fancy for him, I've heard if you ask your server they're able to bring children something different but I'm not 100% sure on whether this is true. If you have any allergies they're really good with handling those too, Charlie has a peanut allergy so if you go to the restaurant the evening before you can speak to them about it and pre order their meal and it will be prepared and cooked safely away from the allergen. I hope this makes sense and I hope you have a fantastic time! 🤩 If you have any other questions at all let me know, I'll try my best to help! ☺️ Thanks again for watching! 💕

Hi sorry me again, What was the cover charge for the olive grove? Also personal question, did you pay for a drinks package? Xx

Hiya, there wasn't a cover charge for the Olive Grove 😊 We didn't have a drinks package in the end, we did think about it but glad we didn't as I don't think we would have got our moneys worth. We saw that the drinks were around the same price as they are locally here where we live so not too bad. We took some cans of pop with us and our drinks bottles from home and the little dilute juice bottles to make squash with. Then usually bought a drink in the afternoon and a couple in the evening. 😊

Hi! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. We had never been on a cruise ship before this one too. It was great fun! 🤗

Hi Kath, ahhh that sounds perfect! We saw people's pictures on a Facebook group we're in of the lovely weather you had! Tempted to do a summer cruise to the Fjords now! It looks even more beautiful in the sunshine! How was MSC? I've been thinking we'd like to try one of their ships. They look quite fun for the children with the waterslides and games. Yes I've heard Flam is similar to Olden scenery wise, it really was stunning! 😍 Thank you for watching and your comment 🙏🏼🩷

Ship was stunningly beautiful, everything was great except food was never hot in restaurant, buffet was ok, had to queue for drinks quite a lot. We did 3 back to back to cruises the first 2 the ship was full and that was just too many people but on the Norway trip there was I think about 4200 it was much more manageable. Entertainment fantastic. Pools warm. Didn’t think pools were disabled friendly, didn’t see any disabled equipment to get a disabled person into pools.

Sounds like ours with the drinks, got one in the end but took a little while to get served. Ours was at capacity too but it was the school hols. I bet doing 3 cruises back to back was brilliant! We wasn't ready to go home at all and could have easily stayed on another week, if not 2! 😊 It's a shame to hear the access equipment was limited for the pools but good that the pools were warm, ours were a little chilly but might have been due to the weather we had. We ended up sticking to the hotubs 😊

@0172PAUL Thank you so much for your kind words, they really do mean a lot. ☺️ I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, you must be looking forward to your cruise... remember the feeling of our cruise countdown well! It will soon be here! I hope you have a wonderful time, I'm positive you will! Norway was wonderful and would do it all again in a heartbeat, Iona was pretty special too! 🤩 Thank you for watching and leaving a comment 🙏🏼 🌟

@seekingwanderlust Hiya! We got them as soon as we were allowed off the ship. We waited about 5/10 minutes in a queue on the stairs before they let us off, then went straight to the grey hut and got served pretty much straight away. Jumped on the second shuttle bus and was on the skylift in no time. 🙂 I hope you manage to get up there and have a great time when you do! 🤩✨️

@@seetheworldwiththekids amazing thank you! I have just seen that you have popped a pre booking link, so I’m thinking I may do that! Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs :)

@seekingwanderlust You are able to pre book via the link... we did think of doing this, however, if the weather was awful on the day or if we missed the port I'm not sure if we would have been able to get any money back. That's the only thing that put us off doing that. As it's spring and coming into summer I'm sure the weather will be alot better now. I'm sure it will give you all the info about cancellations etc on their website... if you've not seen it already the webcam is really good! We loved looking on there before we went, still do! 😂 There's a link to that too if you fancy a look. Thank you for watching the vlogs! 🤗

Hi Neil! Oh yes definitely do it if you can. We've never seen anything like it 😍 We will remember it forever, and so glad we have this vlog to look back on. The igloo was amazing! Didn't expect it to be that big at all. It's definitely made me want to stay in an ice hotel! That would be an experience! Thanks again for watching! 🙂

Heya! 👋🏻 Thank you for watching and subscribing! It's great to have you! Yes the food was so nice and lots of variation so had something different everyday... apart from Mike and his late night curries 😂😋 They were delicious though! Do you have a trip on Iona coming up?

@kellydoug8817 Ahh thank you, and thank you for watching! Ohhh that's exciting. I bet you can't wait! 🤩 Stavanger is very pretty, it's one of my favourites! Have you got any trips planned at any ports or are you exploring the area while you're there? Either way I hope you have a wonderful time! I'm sure you will! 🤩✨️

@@seetheworldwiththekids Yeah, we both cant wait now! Me more so than Doug! No trips planned just gonna enjoy the journey and explore the ports and landscape and hopefully do a few little walking trails while we are there!

@kellydoug8817 That sounds perfect! We need to go back to explore a bit more as we did trips in Olden and Alesund this time. Give us an excuse to go again! 😉

Aw thank you, and thank you for watching! Yes we love Iona too, I think we'll be comparing every other ship we go on now though 😊
