I’ll again I think she likes it forever and ever forever and Ever good morning good morning from minina yeah it’s true not really but kind of where it’s a day at se but we just happened to wake up the same time that we’re coming through the Straits of Ms I think that’s what the captain referred to it last night on his
Announcement yeah we’re coming right through between Sicily and Mainland Italy M right where mine is located we can see on the bow Cam that we’re coming up to it in fact we can even see the raps city of the Seas is ahead of us going through the same street yep there
We go we’re here we’re going to go grab some breakfast you’ve got a C day with a whole bunch of stuff this evening it’s crazy yeah so and we probably got a couple things during the day a couple talks couple things going on mhm so let’s get this last C day started of
This big European Adventure let’s do it off we go we only about two c two or three cabins away from the elevator so that’s been handy and we’re also only usually two or three flights of stairs away from all the action inside the ship hi we’re Jill and Jerry here on the
Beautiful Enchanted princess and this episode contains a hidden letter that is part of our journey to the secret word thank you to level eight for sponsoring this contest and use those letters to try to form three words that relate to this Cruise okay it’s breakfast time in the main dining room
Again pancakes have a little bit of the red jam look at the size of these jam containers by the way this piling on the jam thank you English naal never changes but the top two always Chang today is Alaska Scrambler and blueberry pancakes now are
We not only eating the quo in a strange ways we’re dipping it in Jam this is getting out of control over there don’t even look anymore it’s good hang a look at mine I have to find where it starts so I can start unraveling it there it is in the
Bottom okay my breakfast Parts have started to show up and I’ve started with some oranges the highlight of my oranges is a little tiny Fork though I’ll put it next to the big brother I like small utensils and I am having um what was called the the stewed oh sliced cinnamon
Cinnamon apple wedges but it looks like they’ve given me a couple peaches in here too so this is a apple and then it looks like I have three peaches in here they must be running short on the apple breakfast has arrived I am having the traditional English breakfast today with
My beans of course being the Highlight over medium eggs and some whole wheat toast and I went with one of their specials of the day which is the blueberry pancakes and look a little bit of whipped cream came on the side with that some bacon we have come out to our
Secret spot this might be our last chance on this European adventure to enjoy the secret spot as we expect the weather to get cooler the next couple of days but nice and sunny right now as we’ve just cleared the streights of aini between Sicily and Italy and uh in the background you can
Still see a little bit of Sicily there and we’re coming up towards and way in the distance I can see strolley Mount stroli the the active volcano so we’re going to have a quiet time and just stare off in the distance it’s kind of a seral feeling that you
Know a lot of Canadians have come from Italy and come to Canada we’re we’re back here now and even to think that as far back as World War II lots of Canadians came here to fight this is where they started in Sicily and fought their way up through Italy at the end of
World War II there’s a lot of uh Canadians buried on on Sicily itself uh from those battles so yeah interesting spot a lot of history and a lot of connections to Canada even though we’re a long ways from home okay this is our fourth time going by Mount strolley but our most
Spectacular we are on the opposite side we’re on the western side of it today heading north you can see just a little bit of steam coming over the top left of the Cera there actually is coming out pretty good now it was pretty quiet for the last half hour as you can
See there’s a little village there at the left side of what we can see pretty wild she goes she’s done relaxing heading back before lunch we did a little bit of volcano chasing this morning I was kind of hoping the captain would just keep driving in circles
Around stroy but guess he thinks we need to get to cors for tomorrow at least one Loop wouldn’t been too bad would it anyways we have finished our relaxing and our reading and our volcano watching and now we’re going to get ready to head to the main dining room for lunch I
Think this will only be the second time we’ve done that yeah so dropping off our stuff and heading the other direction okay off we go to the dining room where we are meeting fellow Canadians not just Canadians fellow ontarians let’s go see if we can find them
Have you ever had that before me either I’ve heard I’ve heard of it but I I don’t know what it looks like when it comes together you telling everybody about your lunch oh I’m just reading plowman’s lunch that’s a new term for us oh yeah I know it’s very British I’ve
Heard British people talking about it but I don’t know what it looks like it’s listed under starters yeah it’s a starter not a whole thing the Scotch egg is Big bangers and mash chicken curry fish and chips vegetable burrito Philly steak sandwich Raton carbonera style i g
To say one of each for me one of each all looks good wow okay my appetizers arrived it is the carbona style rigatoni looks a lot like Penny and and I decided to try something that I’ve never had before which is a yeah the plowman’s lunch supposedly a
British thing I want to see you eat this meat on camera yeah I I’m pretty sure that that probably won’t get I think it’s a patte but um yeah I might not have that sorry guys okay L has arrived I’m having the chicken curry M there you are and I’m having the
Carbon carbonara carbonara pasta Penny noton pen No Okay dessert has arrived are the same thing we are all four of us have ordered it bread pudding that’s right give it a try okay we are back from lunch with Sheila and Gates and we didn’t show you
Them on camera you might have saw their food in the distance oh I think we might see them again this evening maybe we’ll have to show you Sheila and Gates have been here with us on our our cruise that uh they know us from watching us on
YouTube and we ran into them for the first time here so anyways update on one of the perks for being Elite with Princess you get to have tea time delivered to your state room so I just called up to see how that works I tried to book up for today it’s
About 1:30 in the afternoon and they said they couldn’t do it for today it wasn’t enough notice but they would do it for tomorrow so we’ll see tomorrow we are in Corsica at a jaio and we’re going to see if we can get tea time delivered
To our cabin at 3:00 for now I think we’re going to watch one of the educational things on the places we’re going the next couple days before we start getting ready for the big formal night Captain’s night and we’re Ultra watching one of the shows that we
Haven’t seen in the theater that we’ve been waiting to see as well so bunch of stuff coming in the next few hours time to go get ready well I’m doing something we don’t normally do I have left Mr kuk he is about to go do an enrichment talk that
He wants to go to take part of and I decided I’m going to go to the ladies pamper spa party that they have which I’ve done before with friends when we’ve cruised never vlogged it and I’ve never done it by myself but I’m going to give
It a try today to show you guys what it’s all about in case you haven’t done it let’s go check it out here in the Piaza they’re getting ready to play a game they’re doing the egg challenge drop but we’re heading this way into the take five
Lounge okay Mrs conu just left to do girl stuff so we got a lady’s pamper party so I’m going to go do man stuff so I’m going to go I think there’s some kind of talk about volcanoes sanini volcanoes man stuff let’s go this is the
Good stuff all right so I’m here in the take five Lounge there’s around two four six other women down the line from me oh they’re giving out appuse to everybody but me guess maybe I moved off to the side to try to film and maybe they think
I don’t I’m not a part of this I don’t know okay I’m here at princess live for the first time in 20 days so that’s where the presentation is we’ll find out okay so they just gave me wipes for sanitizing my hands and they com got my
Garbage thank you oh I love your nails come okay this presentation is called the volcano of Santorini and its Global impact so not sure how much I can show you but I’ll try to give you a couple of Snippets and I’ll let you know what it’s like after we’re
Done so they just offered for Lady Love wanted to to go up to the front and they’re doing um a footprint analys so if that’s something you’ve never done before they will they take a little ink stamping of your foot and they tell you how you’re walking properly The and the whole posture around all of That thank you back there you go that’s what my footprint looks like I bet you they’re going to tell me there’s something about pressure points along here has anyone ever done a facial before like a professional facial yeah who’s doing a skin care routine at
Home a few of you wow I’ve got a really good gr today thank you for joining me rather than uh talking about Sania as such because we we’ve all been there that we know how beautiful it is I thought I’d concentrate a bit on the volcano of sorini and its effects that
It had on the surrounding region of the Mediterranean because it was a huge catastrophe in the age that it happened and it had a great effect on many of the other regions in the in the Mediterranean including the Manan civilization of cre or oil thank you so yeah oil put CLE on
My us now so you’ll feel it is a ball I should put it on the other hand so I can use the right hand it in massage it into the skin smells pretty it’s lavender apparently okay I want you to focus on the areas that you forget sometimes so
Here on the side of the nose it’s safe to use this on the eye as well like wi your second step of you see I have a little cloth that has some water and toner on there for you okay so it’s a nice which toner did you use I think
It’s either APR C or lavender what does it smell Like yeah it’s still lavender I think isn’t it if you feel like you need another one you can raise your hand that’s okay if you still have some left over so you’re going to a a pra I am done with the volcano of sanini a little bit about volcanoes a little bit
About ancient civilization history like the mowan civilization so let’s see if Mrs Knuck is back in the room or she’s still doing girl things anyone ever heard of Botox and bottle now yeah has anyone ever had that they they’re not shy to say it yeah nice goes online stop put it
Everywhere J geographically where we live climate the the the sun exposure lifestyle I mean the husbands I’m done with that it was around 40 minutes long and they did offer um a special massage package rate for people that wanted to do that um to book that and they are of course
Selling products and and uh spa treatments there of course good evening good evening it is golden white night also which is also known as formal night that’s it mhm so we had a relaxed afternoon getting ready we did I went to the Pamper uh the ladies pampered thing and did a little
Bit of the facial stuff I showed you guys and then met Mr kuk back here and we ended up watching a movie before getting ready for dinner I did no facial stuff or no pampering you could have come there was one husband there that husband should have been watching
Volcanoes like me all I’m saying to one husband and so now we’re going to go out and we’re going to probably maybe have a picture or two dick and then we’re going to go find a drink and join the captain as he wants to welcome us aboard
M always at the end of the cruise always at the end of the cruise wel AB now you might be thinking oh I watched that one where they the captain last 11-day Cruise in Europe we have a different Captain this time yes so this is this Captain’s first welcome aboard for us so
We’re going to go see what he’s like yeah so anyways we are off and we’re going to see you around the ship is it plan that’s the plan okay let’s do it let’s go this is KCK wearing a gold and blue dress and it’s only about one4 length

Music I think she likes it forever and ever forever and ever oh we made our way up from the PIAA and we are in pruners and Colin is singing here behind Us there’s no hurry don’t you worry we can take our time come a little closer let’s go pour me something tall and strong Mak get a HT came before I go insane it’s only half 12 but I don’t care it’s 5:00 somewhere the day the music died and they were singing
Byic sh to the ly the ly was dry the good boys whiske we are somewhere new not new new no but we just left cr’s bar we rushed to the other of the ship to Vista lounge and Steve Terry the comedian we heard last night night before night before he’s playing the
Vist ls we’re going to catch his act before we rush to the other end of the ship to catch rock opera we have never seen rock opera we’ve heard Lots about it so tonight we will finally see it finally after two failed attempts in the last year yeah okay anyways I’m not sure
We can record this might catch a little snip it at the beginning mhm but uh yeah British humor so I like it yeah should be great okay see you in a bit she’s a real nice girl and she’s always there for you but a girl like that won’t tell you what you should
Do oh say hello Steve okay uh that’s introductions out the way thank you for coming back and thank you for coming to see the show just one tonight loads of other things going on uh there was one at 11:00 where they thought nobody would be up awake to
Be honest you and I wouldn’t be either so here we are I think we’re probably going to see Rock off finally going guys here in the main theater Late Show probably a little less busy [Applause] and that was rock opera it was very good
Wasn’t it we you didn’t get to see it we got to see it and the boat is really moving it’s one of those nights where you have to feel like you have to hang onto the walls to keep on from not falling into them so there goes another
Wave okay we’re almost back to the cabin more in just a sec good evening hopefully you can stay upright and don’t fall over cuz we’re almost falling over I’m just going to say I think I’ll hold on to the chair for right for waves have been knocking a around in every
Direction since uh with the Captain’s Party I didn’t notice it so much in the dining room but after that yeah our dining room is mid ship so I think that helps oh that’s probably true so yeah we saw the Captain’s Party interesting side note there mhm it was the staff Captain
We we never did see the new captain no not sure why where he is he’s ill or what’s going on no idea nobody said anything nobody even said why the captain wasn’t there so mhm and then after that we had formal meal we did yep I had Lobster
And what was it they have some kind of red meat on the record that’s what I had someone stole my portions left me with chicken yes so that was good so nice to see Lobster and red meat stuff f still on the menu for free on for night
Yes yes very nice and then we caught a bunch of music here and there on the ship yeah we sort of ran around all over the place cuz there was so much going on tonight it’s funny because we’ve been finding on this long journey that there’s been some nights where there’s
Been large gaps in things to do so we’ve watched movies gone and done hot tubs in the night created our own entertainment um but tonight I guess because it’s formal night everybody was out and there was multiple things happening so we fin finished dinner and we went for music in
The Piaza then we went upstairs to to the kuners bar with Colin then we went to the comedy all over and then from there we ran to the theater so that was our night we got rock opera rock opera yeah finally saw it after several tries and
Several cruises yeah I’m really glad we finally got to see it I really enjoyed it so princess shows it all General mhm all in all in general I don’t know if that makes any sense princess shows MH well I think what sets them apart for me
First off is the live band makes a big difference in the Production shows it really does I’ve seen lots of Production shows in the last year and really the live bands really Set It Off the next thing is the production value you know you can see that it’s very polished yeah
Costumes are gorgeous yep and I think of this one I’ve seen four princess Productions in the last year mhm I think this is probably fourth now that doesn’t mean it’s bad it just means that the other ones are fantastic this one was more on the par with what I’ve seen for
Better ones in other cruises see and I wouldn’t put it at Fourth I I would think it’s higher up there on my list of favorit I thinking I’ve got five Skies number one yeah I know that that’s your favorite I’m thinking that actually that
One we saw the bar one this week was was the new show the new show I think was Siz in number two is really close to Bravo Bravo is phenomenal and this one goes fourth and then and this one only goes forth cuz the other ones are that
Good that’s funny cuz I would put Bravo still as number one for me and this one is number two Opa W there you go all Personal Taste there you go yeah this was a lot of less production as far as stage set stuff and effects and stuff
More just straight out singing but I guess Opera it’s in the name rock my only disappoint with Princess Production shows there’s not enough yeah I think I should get more than three Production shows on a 22-day cruise now I know it’s 21s but I still think thre is not enough
Even on 11 that is designed I think for 7-Day cruise and three is really good I think on S days for that level of talent and that level of production yeah I don’t know on a 7-Day Cruise if you get three I think you only get two but um
Interesting we’ll have to see cuz we’re well I guess we’re not doing a seven day we doing 10 for the group crew so hopefully we get three on the group Crews but I just know when we did the sky princess for seven days there were
Only two two yeah so I want to see more of them that’s a good thing though when you want to see more of something it means it’s really good so yeah M yep so but that’s all we are going to bed and we’re going to Splash around a little as
We head closer to Corsica which is the island north of Sardinia we’re west of Italy now and south of France What’s our weather for tomorrow our weather is going to cool off we’re going to be windy it’s going to be Breezy temperatures probably in the mid to low
Teens Celsius he’s talking mhm so that’s like 60 fenhe so yeah so we have to go to bed and plan on putting on warmer clothes for the first time in many days there you go mhm so we’ll have to tackle France the next two ports in a row nice
And show you what we get up to we still got some plans still going to squeeze the last little bit set of this vacation yes we are and so good night thanks for watching us on our former night and our C day and mm it was a fun day I haven’t
Seen some of the footage yet so you will up by now I haven’t seen the uh ladies de out or whatever that was ladies pamper party pamper party M all I saw was the men’s pamper party which was all about volcanoes MH so good night everybody thanks for

Well at least we now know a Princess cruise is not for us so many, many thanks for the vlog.
The up selling by Princess is boarder line obscene.
Very nice seeing you guys enjoying yourselves wrapped in a romantic music atmosphere.
Thx for the video. How was the straights of Messina passage? Many stories dating back to the ancient Greeks re the difficulty of the passage. Homer's Odyssey refers to it…I imagine that with modern technology it's a whole different story nowadays…so you passed thru waters referenced over generations…kinda special when you think of it. Lol.
Old time sailor sobriety check; only the drunks can walk straight lines when itβs rough.
What a great cruise day!!
Thanks for sharing!
I must try Princess one time in the near future
I have said before that I am very averse to dress up nights, suits, on holiday. I am also extremely averse to what I call forced fun activities.
That said, I love your videos, and this is no exception.
I am a Celebrity cruise person just now but am considering Princess or Virgin as an alternative, if my cruise in May is as disappointing as some are saying Celebrity have got.
I know I labour the point a little about dress up nights, but its important to let folk know that these nights and activities are not compulsory as this puts some people off cruising. Me included.
I enjoy sea days, but mainly becasue I people watch whilst getting quietly and slightly drunk. Ah the sea air. Wife does the same. Dont need a quiz or a disco. Just sun and cockatils.
Great video.
My wife loves the shows on the ships, whilst i can do without them. So I do what any self respecting fella does. I put up with them. I must look like the most miserable person in the world whilst watching them. Even though I am older now I still like seeing proper bands at gigs playing their own music.
Surprised to hear the lack of shows on Princess. Wife would be disappointed.
Great video – thank you so much for sharing your cruise experiences with us.
You two are so fun to watch β€ I hope this is allowed, but I love your white top that you wore to lunch!! Do you by chance have a link?
I lovE this!
No pork pie on the ploughman's lunch! Definitely not an English ploughman's lunch.
I liked the divided Jill / Jerry adventures, it was interesting
Very Sneaky on the Letter today!π
