Poor video, you completely ignored half the Marina. Also during the high season one night per week the street vendors come in and have an open bazaar with entertainers as well as food. Right across the street are ocean front Hotels, Resorts and condominiums to stay in. Some of the best views on the bay ! The entire marina zone is five minutes from the airport, Marina Vallarta has the best security in the city.
Absolutely beautiful presentation, such a beautiful and cheerful atmosphere guys! 👏
Thank you for watching 👍😀
great Vvlogs guys... but did you have a bakewell tart?. that's the main thing... they are the best...good on ys Rhonda for winning the dominos...
When we were in Bakewell we went for the Bakewell Pudding as opposed to the Bakewell Tart - both very delicious and traditional though :)
You didn't or i may have missed it the price for the week, i only sail from the UK as im disabled and flying is a pain for me nowadays. Thanks for the insight, looked great 👍 43:07
Hi there, the price converted to pounds sterling was around 4000 quid for the two of us for the 7 days. Thanks for watching.
How much did you pay? For the hole tour?
It was around $170usd - that is for the side by side and 2 people. always negotiate as deals are often given if they are not too busy.
Glen and Rhonda, I NEED you tonight! I live in the USA and there is no peace right now. I love watching your videos because they are so down to earth and humane. Two lovely people living and exploring life together. THANK YOU!! Thank you, thank you!!🎉
Well thank you for watching we are happy you enjoy 😊
Of course you can eat the skin
Definitely will try it next time we are chomping bbq fish
I must point out that your boring safety video is probably something that you need to take more interest in. It's not 10 beeps but 7 short blasts followed by 1 long blast. Extremely important information for everyone on board.😮
Sorry...but Seeing Rhonda Sitting in the lounge with "Bare Feet" on the chair just makes me want to puke. Manors maketh Man. Lack of manors in this wold is just a damn shame.
At 3:20 in the distance you can see my caravan site I have been going there since I was 6 months old and I'm 44 .
Wow you obviously love Aberystwyth having gone there for 44 years. Has the town changed much since you were a kid ?
Thank you so much for the video
Thanks for watching
I upgraded to business class (one way only) heading to London in October from YVR. Am looking forward to it.
You will definitely enjoy it
Is it champagne or Prosecco
You can have either but we preferred the French champagne which was delicious
How come they not pissed lol
Oh we were very wobbly but we took all day so it spread it out 😂
Why don’t you eat the skin? Its soooo good.
You mean fish skin ? Never thought to try it, is it worth eating ?
I love fish skin especially if they fry the fish but yes it’s good.
I wouldn't no. In terms of sea food I just like cod, scampi, ,tuna,,shrimps, prawns.
All good seafood you like deffo 👍😀
My dad's in this video! Manager of the apollo. You missed a few good pubs, pav and lodge. And you need to go to old town! Great video
That’s awesome 👏 we remember your dad , he was very friendly and jolly. I’m sure there are tons of other pubs we missed but 10 is enough in one go lol
@GlenAndRhonda he loves his pub! Glad he was jolly 😊. We live in carlisle so visit bridlington often with the kids but once a year we go with no kids and do a long weekend bar crawl.
somebody got it in for Bridlington av been going a long while I find people friendly and it's a good promenade to av a good walk and if u want a good coffee call in at cafe society brill al keep going no matter what some daft people say carnt beat East coast that's what kids lv amusements beach picnic fun fun fun regardless the weather
You are right Brid promenade is great and you can’t beat seeing the kids having a great time on the rides and in the amusements
"Visiting the worst seaside town ever" Voted the worst IN YORKSHIRE. Not quite the same is it?
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching 😃
Great video. I have just returned from a few days in Bridlington and to my surprise I really enjoyed it and the hotel I stayed in was great. I have not been for about 20 years and yes some parts run down but I would say not as bad as Blackpool and no better or worse than Scarborough. I enjoyed so much I am going again in September!!!
We had a great time in Brid too, enjoy your trip back there and thanks for watching 😃
Just subscribed guys. Great channel. Love seaside reviews 😜
Happy you enjoyed - welcome to the channel 😄
ALRIGHT BUT A DECENT PRICE COMPARED TO A CAFE OR UPMARKET DINER. COULD DO WITH CUMBERLAND SAUSAGE INSTEAD OF NORMAL BANGERS ALSO BLACK PUDDING, BUT U HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR THAT.
If we would have had Cumberland sausage and black pudding ( well not Rhonda lol) it would have been a brilliant breaky, didn’t think of that but will next time 👍
HP = House of Parliament
Houses of Parliament is correct 👍
Bad but at a good price.
We enjoyed the breakfast but we went in with low expectations and were quite surprised how decent it was. And of course great value 😃
How come you got the metro? We walked to the Piazza. Took about 20 mins from the ship.
Just wanted the Metro experience. It’s a neat metro system there, seemed very clean and not crowded.
I loved Genoa. Ive lived in Southern Spain half my life and am married to a Spaniard , so I speak fluent Spanish and some Italian. All these things help towards being more aware of scammers. That and me having plenty of euros as its our money.😮
Well good points for sure, in any country not speaking the local lingo and being unfamiliar with the currency definitely makes a tourist a more likely scam target.
My bet on your next Yacht Club cruise is - itll be over the pond!🎉❤
Nope 😀
The benefits of reserving a FUTURE CRUISE whilst onboard MSC are fab, too! MSC also give 10% off on line for reservations if you're over 65. We met a lovely retired couple from New Jersey on the Meraviligia in April whilst we were in Yacht Club. They have done the Haven many times with NCL and prefered YC much more. So much, that theyve booked for next year for the entire family! All in YC 10 adults and 4 kids $55.000 ! Note- 4 of them will be staying in the Family penthouse suite, which is under Aurea, but theyll still be in the YC experience. Its there mums 96th birthday and theyll be in that suite with her. They want to be sure she has an incredible time.🎉❤.
Wow the New Jersey couple sure are celebrating that big birthday in style and how nice to have the family join them. Nice story to hear 😃
Cheers
Thanks for watching
Leicester is far worse!
Never been to Leicester, there must be some nice parts of Leicester though ?
Surprised about the negative videos on youtube regarding Doncaster. Looked very clean and organised to me. Not alot of people about, so hopefully they were all working. Donny also has an improved football team in L2, which also draws the crowds in, as the stadium is fairly new
We were surprised with the negativity also thats why we decided to show the good of Donny which was our experience. Donny ROvers just missed promotion though this season :(
I lived in Donny for 3 years, 2005, it was fine, loads going on, affordable, great people, it was great
Nice to hear you had a good experience during your ime in Donny
Looks very nice, yes these people who go to our Towns and Cities just to film empty and derelict buildings do so much harm.
We couldn't agree more !
I used to live in the near of Doncaster ( Conisbrough ). It was always nice to go shopping in Doncaster Town Center and I loved the Market Hall. Thanks for filming. Brings back memories 😊
The indoor market is definitely awesome, keep watching our channel for the next video to be posted in a few days which I think you will like and relate to - Thanks for watching
Im British. Originally from Glossop Derbyshire. I was taught on the Queen Mary that the way you poor the milk is the class of person you are. Because the poor drank from clay mugs, the milk had to go in first to stop it cracking from the heat. And the upper class, the tea first. Because they drank from China cups, which withstand heat😉
You are exactly right, the milk first v tea first debate historically stems from the quality of tea pots and cups used by the upper class v the working class.
Mate great content its happening every where now mate looks so quiet
Thanks for watching !
Theyve stopped giving out the Toblerones and doing their signature frozen Toblerone cocktails 😢..its cos of nut allergies. Too risky and a liabilty
Ours was a dark chocolate Toblerone anyway - yuck - milk chocolate all the way for us. Thanks for the update !
@@GlenAndRhonda We got a dark Venchi bar. It was that pure dark chocolate it was 🤮,too! Like chewing on bitter wax
May I ask when did you sail & Where did you embark from? I heard Spanish but see its not Barcelona. Ships are called "her" because theyre like a womb carrying a baby. Sailors terms. She protects and nutures them❤ looked very quiet in YC ? Was it?
We sailed in April and embarked from Barcelona. YC was full but the layout is such that for such a small group of passengers YC bars, restaurants and deck areas always seemed uncrowded, quiet and peaceful. Quite a contrast to the ships main deck areas and bars.
I was shocked to notice that on MSCS cruises in Europe , your key card shows your cabin number! SOOO BAD ! What about privacy? But not on it in the USA. Only the deck.
Good point , you would think all MSC cruise cards would be the same
Very nice filming and the sound is great
Thanks for watching !
There are many worse places in the UK
There are definitely far worse places, lots of them, that was the point of my video to try and show the nice side of Doncaster :)
it really is a shote hole , is Donny
Im sure Donny has its bad areas has does every town but we found the town centre to be a great place to visit.
Hi great video. Just want to ask for yacht club is tips included and do staff expect it
Good question - you are charged gratuities on your account just the same as every other passenger on the ship. MSC actually ask you, in their cruise info, not to tip the staff individually as they like to operate on fair distribution of gratuities between all staff. However, all passengers in YC that we met and discussed tipping with did hand a good tip to their butler, favorite waiter, bar staff, server etc. at the end of the cruise. We did the same but made sure we did this very discreetly.
@@GlenAndRhonda thanks for your reply. Is it US dollars or sterling ?
@@philipwong3530 Well on our cruise we were in the Mediterranean so it was Euros.
All looked great until the flies-on-food appeared...should have edited it out 🙁
Just keeping it real :)
The biggest benefit of Yacht Club must be the line shipping - I've found some queues to board MSC ships absolutely laughable, so this benefit is worth its' weight in gold. I sometimes wonder if MSC deliberately built of the lines to give the benefit to YC guests, ha!
In our experience there are 3 main benefits to YC. We agree with the line skipping benefit as YC guests get priority boarding, priority disembarkation and that saves a lot of time. Second benefit is the all inclusive food and drink which is of excellent quality. And the third is the use of the exclusive areas that are only for YC guests. Never any worry about not getting a sun lounger as one example. Less crowded YC common areas. Anyway YC is great ! 👍
We've done Aurea experience twice with MSC and loved it! Kinda scared to go YC, as I think I'd never want to travel any other way after that! hahahaha
Just go for it ! Book YC and you definitely will be hooked - happy cruising
Thanks for sharing. Would be nice if you could list prices on screen.
Thanks for watching 😃
Enjoyed watching your video. Tks for all the tips and sharing of your lovely experience. We are gg on Yacht club soon on Bellissima soon.
Is it your first time in YC ? You will love it - enjoy your cruise 😄
Interesting, and well presented video on an otherwise gaudy, and ostentatious accommodation. Query: Another poster mentioned noise as being an issue. On other cruise lines (HAL, Celebrity, Princess, Viking) one must open the cabin door to hear general announcements. Not so on his MSC experience as YC doors were paper thin, and not insulated at all. He could also hear casual hallway conversations. What was your experience?
Hi , our YC cabin was super quiet and doors seemed to be heavy and substantial. We had to open the door to hear the ship wide announcements on the hallway speakers. We could not hear people in the hallway outside our cabin. We were very happy with our accommodation, super quiet, no complaints at all. Thanks for watching.
