It's such a cool building in the perfect position, but they're struggling to fit the grand building's rooms that are from another time to modern habits, large ballroom areas that would have been used for banquets now look sad as empty bar areas, a room that has a grand fireplace just gets used for gambling machines. Scarborough used to be a classy resort town when the Victorians thought sea bathing was the fancy thing to do, but the high class market isn't there anymore to enable this building to function as it was originally intended.

how on earth are you getting such low prices. i just checked there website at various different dates and there all like 10x higher than what you got

Great review its another bad example of britianca hotel 🏨 chain leaving things not fixed or cared for the place is 192 years old you expect care and attention thanks ben 💓

As someone who comes from Alicante I hate this loool Benidorm is super cheap and I used to party there when I was in high school! Cheap booze and food but honestly the vibe is so bad! Everyone is drunk and all the foreigners are rude and horrid! Really ruined that side of alicante with so many foreigners

I just got Vinted because I’m a fisher price toy collector i collect the soothe and glow seahorse

Amazing service thank you..!

I get the idea of the video but The Grand hotel is an enormous building built at a time when Scarborough was one of the busiest resorts in Europe. Without Britannia it’d be likely empty due to the costs involved keeping it running so hotels like this in Scarborough are stuck. We just lost the Futurist and have lost other hotels like The Pavilion over the years. The Crown Hotel did a great job but there’s only so much demand for hotels of this size in a resort like Scarborough. Until we know the answer Britannia offer affordable holidays to keep it going. Perhaps in the future if flights are limited to once every 3 years to reduce global warming then hotels like the Royal and the Grand will be brought back to life.

I live in Scarborough. My son had his wedding there and it was lovely, apart from a waitress spilling a lot of hot coffee down the bride's back, scalding her. Ive stayed there myself at a different time and it was good, awesome breakfast.

Flixbus had bought the Greyhound woof.

how very dissrespectful to winston churchill....

Because the Dutch have four major cities around the “Green Heart” (Amsterdam/Rotterdam/Utrecht/The Hague) plus others like Haarlem Delft and Leiden nearby, they have a more decentralized urban setup than places that place all their eggs in one basket.

I know they fired all the UK staff on their UK registered ships, but one of the Hull-Rotterdam ferries is registered in The Netherlands; did they also fire the Dutch (and Indonesian) staff?

Never worry about being under dressed for something like a First Class Lounge. The days of having to wear a collar and tie for such things are long gone. A friend of mine who's very much a multi millionaire tends to always wear, T-Shirt, Hoody, Jeans & trainers with a baseball cap. He does sometimes get some sideways looks, but he dresses the way he wants and doesn't give a fig for what anyone else thinks...

P&O cruises are amazing. Not like the ferry you were on. Try a cruise. It’ll be a totally different video on your return.

Standard cabin??? Generally like a dog box!!!

Is this guy serious. Have you ever been outside your front door before this trip????.

Speechless - it’s not a cruise and it’s not the capital city ! What a total muppet. 😂

it's a sea taxi 😂

LOL!!......Cabin Small Window, it’s a f.cking Porthole. Generation Z😂😂😂 Clueless!! Did you lose your Cherry in Amsterdam son?? Hull, what a shithole!.......It’s like my Underpants, full of hard seamen

It’s a ferry you went on a car ferry masquerading as a cruise …. Its a garbage money spinner for a ferry line

I was dreading the room but that looks kinda find and at least you have a wee window

As others have stated you went on a ferry with P&O Ferries. No connection with P&O cruises which is an entirely different company. You need to be very careful using "cruise" in this context and state the non connection. Carnival (the American parent company of P&O cruises UK) might have something to say about it.

You’re on a ferry, not a cruise

We'd give that a bash! It's a ferry, but it sails and travels so we'd be up for it. Not a bad cabin for a ferry. Cool video 🍻

When did you go mate? April or may?

Scarborian here, there are (unfortunately) many worse hotels than the royal! Such beautiful victorian buildings, that are left to ruin, once big chain hotels take over them, such a shame 😢

Amsterdam is not the capital city of Holland. I believe that The Hauge is the capital city

Is bowling for free?

Tell us where this ship sails to

never use P&O

PnO ferries is not the same company as PnO cruises.

Another adventure for you Ben. I like your down to earth reviews. They are interesting and informative. Well done lad!

Pretty cool I’d give that a bash

Thumbs down from me. Very misleading as this isnt a cruise. Its a ferry crossing! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Looking at Hull from Canada through your video, it looks pretty appealing. I’d emigrate immediately site unseen if I was given the go ahead from your immigration department

I've stayed in several Britannia hotels as part of package coach tours. They are often laughably bad but are incredibly cheap

Yet another beautiful old hotel that has been bought by Britannia Hotels and, in my view, run into the ground, Look the company up on Wikipedia.

Pure class once

I'm really keen to give this a try - I've seen a lot of marketing of this product as a 'Mini Cruise', and couldn't believe the prices that they were charging. Thanks for taking us with you, and it's worth stressing that P&O Ferries and P&O Cruises are two very different companies, with two very different products!

If you think this is bad, you should go to Folkestone in Kent and take a look at the Burstin

There is absolutely no way that hotel deserves the accolade it’s been given , ok it’s a bit rough around the edges , but in my opinion it’s fifty percent better than most hotels I’ve seem on you tube .

no one cares

What is that fake awful accent.

This is a ferry not a cruise

Is there a saving money and rolling it over on the customers it's a business simple as that

I’m amazed you’ve not heard from P&O cruises lawyers

A ferry not a cruise
