  • I am very excited to bring you part 2 of 3 of my week's cruise on board P&O Iona! In this vlog we have a Shrove Tuesday sea day where I show you some of the activities on offer including the vocalist workshop plus I take part in a pancake flipping contest and reach the final (lol!). It's also celebration night where I eat at the Olive Grove restaurant. We then spend 2 whole days in Rotterdam where I show you how to make the most of this awesome city without doing excursions; water taxis, MarktHal, Cube Houses, a night onboard SS Rotterdam, Euromast, the harbour and more! It's then back on board for a night at the Limelight Club, PLUS I have a go at karaoke, which was unfortunately filmed by a friend lol! Part 3, the finale, will be out on Saturday!

    I just want to say thank you so much for your vlogs. As someone who struggles with anxiety the amount of detail you go into at ports and on the ship is so so helpful. Being able to visualise where I will be before I get off the ship is such a blessing . I admit to not getting off the ship most of the time we cruise as I can’t stand the fear of the unknown . Not anymore thanks Jamie x

    OMG, when you were descending those stairs on the Euromast…I. Would. DIE…I am terrified of heights, even hate crossing road bridges and can only do so by walking exactly in the middle with my head down, lest I accidentally glance over the fence (woe betide anyone doing the same in the opposite direction cuz I ain’t the one that’s gonna give way!)
