Back to Amsterdam onboard P&O Ventura ...Part 2
So after the excitement of watching England beat Holland in the Euros semi final , actually berthed in Amsterdam , it was time to head ashore .
We took in the sites , the Red light district , the Anne Frank House and Museum , and of course ended up on another canal cruise .
On returning to the ship we all got ready for formal evening , the plan being to meet in our room to take some photos on the balcony overlooking the cruise port .
We managed to get a table in the MDR, something we had been worried about because of the size of our group .Everyone in our party seemed to enjoy the meal and the children were well catered for .
We sailed away from Amsterdam later that evening , it made a nice change to leave port at night and see the city all lit up .
Our last full day onboard started with breakfast , then a little bit of packing which Pearl actually helped with .unfortunately i had hurt my back and was suffering a little bit . We then all met up at the covered pool area , I took the opportunity to have a bit of time in the hot tub before going to the Sauna to try and ease my back a little .The grandkids spent a bit of time in the pool before deciding it was far too cold for them , the water was actually freezing .
That evening we had another meal in the MDR before we headed to our usual spot the Havana lounge where we saw the group the Privateers , very good they were too .
Next morning we were up early to have breakfast before disembarking the ship in Southampton . So our family mini cruise was at an end , and going by everyone's reactions it seemed like it was a success
Happy Birthday Pearl ❤️

P&O Ventura ..Family cruise to Amsterdam Part1
zhlédnutí 3,6KPřed dnem
So we were back on P&O Ventura , and returning to Amsterdam . But this time we were being joined by 8 other family members . Our idea being that as Pearl was approaching her birthday it would be good to get the family together and help her celebrate the occasion . For the 4 Grandchildren it would be their first taste of a cruise , and so we picked this itinerary just in case they didn't like th...

We had decided that today we were going to stay on the ship to explore the many parts of the ship that we hadn't seen. So after an enjoyable breakfast that's exactly what we did . We ventured up to the top decks where it was still very windy . W...

    Love the video. Anyone can tell that you both love cruising and your enjoyment and natural-ness come across. Just booked a transatlantic on QM2 for next year and really can’t wait. Have seen other bloggers really down and criticise Cunard - such bloggers are getting a bit commercial (and annoying) I think. Cruising vids should be about the love of travel and love of cruising and FUN! Yours are! Continued happy future travels! ❤️

      Hi Jay Tee , thank you glad you enjoyed it . We loved our first time on a Cunard ship and would love to do another. Transatlantic sounds absolutely fantastic, especially on such a great ship . Yes we agree with you , we dont criticise for the sake of it . If something needs being brought to the attention of people that might help them then yes we would definitely do that . We do try and have as much fun as we can on our travels, and we are very pleased that you think it shows. Thank you so much for the lovely comments and of course for watching our video.❤️❤️👋👋

      If I remember our organised trip was cancelled because of lack of interest. As you get off the ship there is a kiosk with all the trips and prices. I think ours was like a half day tour of the island. You didn’t get a lot of time at each stop but it gave you a taste . ❤️🥂👋👋

    Fantastic family vlog, looks like you all had a wonderful time. The cabin set ups look like a great way to make the most of the space.

We were on Aurora for the previous match and it was on in 4 different places.

    Another great episode, loved looking around Amsterdam, it’s great for a wander and a canal boat ride. You all looked so glamorous on Celebration night, shame Pearl lost yet another pair of shoes and handbag, do you think she is deliberately sabotaging them to get some new stuff? 😂 Shame the pools were so cold for the kids, they need to put the heating on. I hope your back got better quick, nothing worse than being in pain on holiday. Loved listening to the Privateers band, so good. Happy Birthday Pearl, what lovely family memories ❤

If you care to look through the channel there are plenty of other cruises they have been on which might be a bit more suited to you. Amsterdam may not be a ‘big deal’ to you, but it was a lovely family trip for us, so I’m very sorry it did not float your boat (see what I did there ;-)) Also not sure what making money has got to do with it. Anyway I’m very bored with this conversation now, so I look forward to reading your next negative comment on the next video 👍 take care and goodnight

      We are on P&O Arvia at the moment, so you know what that means…. More videos 😱😱 . It would be great if the whole world saw them , then I would be raking it in . We don’t know if you watch or just see the title and then put your comments. Anyway any comments good or bad all help our channel so thank you . There are no videos for the next few weeks but if you get withdrawal symptoms then please feel free to comment on some of our older ones , I’m sure you will find something to comment on .

    Happy Birthday, Pearl! Thank you for taking us along. I loved seeing your family.. Brian, I hope your back is better. It is not fun having your back hurt. Pearl, it would not be a cruise, if you didn't break a pair of shoes.. I truly enjoyed the entertainment. Hope you are having decent weather. We are finally getting some cooler air, but still no rain. Hoping this next Saturday is nice. We are having a tea party for my great-granddaughter for her 6th birthday. Looking forward to your next adventure!

      Hi Rene. Apologies for the delay in responding we are on another cruise around the Mediterranean.Pearl did indeed have a memorable birthday, especially with everyone being together.I think it is now tradition for Pearl to brake something, shoes or bag or both . We have just reached Northern Spain, and the sun has just come out .Glad you’re having some cooler weather, I think lots of places are crying out for rain . My back is feeling better thank you , it’s a problem I have had for years . How nice for you to celebrate with your Great Granddaughter, we hope you have a lovely day . Thanks Rene , speak again in a few weeks , take care . Xx❤️❤️

Those old videos were just filmed before we had any intentions of doing CZcams. We just put them on for a bit of content. They are awful but you have to start somewhere. Brugge is absolutely beautiful, would highly recommended a visit . Thanks as always guys you really don’t have to watch anymore 😫😫.

It was lovely getting the family together so close to Pearls birthday, thank you for the birthday wishes 🙏. They all enjoyed themselves and for some it was their first cruise, they have said that they would love to do another one 👍. Yes the kids certainly keep you on your toes , but to be fair they were all pretty good.Suitcases out of the loft today ready for Sunday, really looking forward to it . Hope you have a great time on Arvia as well . Thanks for watching Al , and we always look forward to reading your message. Make sure you put that training into good use 🍸🥂🍷. XX❤️❤️👋👋
