- 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
Oh I absolutely love this comment - I’m so so pleased you’re going to try going ashore ❤️❤️❤️
You are a born entertainer, absolutely brilliant karaoke performanc 👏👏👏
Oh my goodness 😯 Not something I’d say but thank you 🙏
Jamie what a wonderful voice you have, you’ve been hiding your light under a bushel 🎉🎉 x
Hahaha! Oh bless you - far too kind!
This is a great one - so much fun!!
Oh Jamie, the bar on the SS Rotterdam was lovely but the bartender was supreme 🤫🤭🤣❤️
Lol 😆
Absolutely loved this. Looked like a wonderful time and congratulations to the newly engaged couple. You did a great solo job. Love and adore you and best wishes to Maffoo. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels! ⚓️♥️🙏
Awwww thank you so much - lovely comment
Jame, you have a really good voice !! A man of many talents. BGT 2024 ?
Lol 😆
What a lovely trip you had to Rotterdam. You make me smile - a lot.
Thank youuu
Love Rotterdam, you did it justice. This particular cruise is so much more fun than anyone would imagine, do give it a try, a perfect 1st time cruise.
Agreed 👍
Thanks again Jamie you’ve given me the confidence to get a water taxi and go up the Euromast on my own. Your a star ❤️❤️
Yaaaaay!!
Loving this vlog, SS Rotterdam looks worth a stay and deffo need to take a water taxi if in Rotterdam again 😊
It was just fabulous
Thank you so much for the shout out, it was really lovely to meet you! 😁💙
It was lovely to meet you both too - if you’re ever near Amazingstoke …
Great vlog Jamie, I must admit my legs went funny when you started walking down the Euromast steps 🤪ps great singing 🎶
Haha! Those stairs are something else!
The energy, enthusiasm and joy is catchy. I will be going to Rotterdam shortly to try SS Rotterdam.
It’s a great experience onboard
I’m doing this cruise next February I can’t wait
Eeeek enjoy!!
That’s my karaoke tune (but I think I sing it in a lower key 😂 ) Loving your cruise vlogs. I’ve never been but my sister is a cruise convert. Can’t convince my wife - she doesn’t ‘people’ well 😅
Oh we need to work on your wife!!!
good to see you doing karaoke at last lol
Lol 😆
@@TravelBlogJamie and that's a song I have recorded too so equally pleasing...my version mixed up styles of yazoo and the flying pickets
Loved the vlog Jamie, your pringle songs are so much fun but you kept your singing voice quiet, amazing!
Thank youuuu
Rotterdam looks like a good place to visit. Not done anywhere in this area of Northern Europe - yet. Congratulations to Kai and Dan too
🙏🙏🙏
Ace episode x

You were brave. Amanda not keen on heights. She was fine with Empire State Building. Taking on the Edge next time we go 2 Nyc 😂
She’s doing just fine ❤️
Thanks for water taxi information, will definitely do that next time in Rotterdam 👍
Very Welcome 🙏
Loved today's vlog very informative looks easy to get around Rotterdam with water taxis. Food looks amazing in market hall. Roll on part 3. X
❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos mate. I used to work at sea so it's bringing back memories. All the best, Sam
Thanks Sam!!
Hi Jamir,

P.S. Karaoke song choice - en pointe! Love a bit of Yazoo!!!
Aww thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant vlog Jamie. Absolutely love the splash tours bus, did it in Amsterdam got picked up in it outside Amsterdam Central Station. Definitely when I get to Rotterdam I'm going to goto the top of the Euromasst tower. Absolutely love heights.

Market hall is a fave of ours x
It’s addictive there isn’t it
@@TravelBlogJamie it’s an insane place didn’t know you could go inside the cube houses the zoo is really good we are heading back in August and there is a few new things I’ve seen in your vlog we will now look into
Thanks Jamie x
❤❤❤
🥂🥂🥂
BRILLIANT. Love the karaoke and your fur babies❤
Thanks Hazel
So when's your Yazoo cover coming out on Spotify? I need that in my life!
Oh I’m sure you don’t 😂
Hey great vlog as always. The shore excursion machines are a great idea. Just a quick question - can you pay with cash in Rotterdam for the water taxi and food etc or is it card only ? x
I’ve never paid in cash in Rotterdam - it’s incredibly Card friendly (and often preferred). I didnt see anyone use cash
I think one of your best yet! The detail of your time in Rotterdam would attract the most die-hard OSIGTOR hater! (Oh Shit, Its Going TO Rotterdam) Your singing isn;t bad either (little tip - face the camera next time, its not X-factor) LOVE YOU!
Oh my God I couldn’t face the camera I was reading and taking the crew’s lead!!
Great part 2 Jamie. 👍
I really loved Rotterdam aswell. So much to do, we walked through that park at the bottom of the Euromaster 3 times in the end. I imagine it would be even prettier on a summers day.
Looking forward to part 3.
Yes I’m looking forward to being there this august!!
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!)
Oh It’s not for you then 😂
@@TravelBlogJamie not as I live and breathe! Loved the rest of the video, though!
You have your me-time and your downtime..🥂 🧘♂️
Thank you muchly
What them singing classes on board must be good you sounded great ❤
Haha! Maybe cos I was full of cold I sounded better lol
Brilliant blog l need to visit Rotterdam it looks amazing thanks to you Jamie ❤
It’s soooo cool there
oh can i ask a quick question? can you pre-book the Epicurean before the cruise starts?
For dinner, yes, 2 weeks in advance (but not breakfast)
Did it feel a bit weird leaving the cruise ship for the night to stay at Rotterdam?
Not at all
The older man in the karaoke, he and his wife live on Arvia and Iona as it’s cheaper than a care home. He has his own CZcams channel. I’ve sat by him twice at the Peninsula lunch.
Oh how fabulous!!
Thank you Jesus 😂
🙏🙏🙏
Jamie, I have a question for you, we are going to be 2 adults sharing a cabin, do you know if each adult have a separate account for billing?I can't find the answer..Thank you very much..
It’s up to you - you can have one account or separate
Jamie, thank you very much..
Emma wants to know where she can get the disco ball for the cabin
A quick Search on Amazon
The amazon delivery driver already spends more time at our house than he does his own 😂
@@colinpotter2795 lol 😂
Omg so the count of how many times I appear continues
👀
I filmed your pancake 🥞 tossing (Claire)
Thanks Claire!!
You must have school on the brain you said ferry leaves on the hour and half term 😂
Always
Would be nice please for you to end the video with a run down of the highlights of each port in brief, I like to see the cultural side more it’s quite hard to follow the narrative otherwise as it jumps from one thing to another thanks
Oh sorry, I won’t be doing that! Everything is filmed exactly in the order it happens.
Hi Jamie, wishing you all the luck with your new career. Move over Jane McDonald. Bye Wakefield, hi Basingstoke 🧋
Hehehe
