YouTube Video Description

After many years of staying in pre-cruise hotels in Southampton UK, we finally spent a night at the Hilton Ageas Bowl. It's 5 miles from the cruise terminals which is probably why we avoided it in the past but we didn't bargain on such a great experience from our room with balcony and Ageas Bowl views, the food (dinner and breakfast reviewed), the outdoor seating, the amazing spa and fantastic service. In this vlog I show you all the above, plus other rooms on offer, menus (including afternoon tea, kid's menus and also a dog's menu!!), facilities at the spa, info about the golf course and cruise and stay information. What do you think? Could you be tempted away from Southampton central? Let me know below! Don't forget to like, subscribe and turn on notifications for my bi-weekly travel and cruise vlogs. You can also find me on Instagram, Twitter and Threads @travelblogjamie and Facebook "jamiewrobins". It's also less than 2 weeks until my next cruise - North America here we cooooome! Make sure you are following that adventure! #hilton #ageasbowl #cruise #cruisehotel #southamptonhotel #hiltonageasbowl
