YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

It's time for a new adventure on this, my Pre-Cruise Day vlog staying overnight on this rare occasion in Portsmouth, UK, at the Maritime Hotel! Portsmouth is home to its own cruise port, of course, but I am here to meet some well-known faces up the Spinnaker Tower before taking a short train journey tomorrow morning to Southampton to join P&O Aurora. So join me to tour this hotel, my room and to review breakfast offerings (is it a good-value post or pre-cruise hotel?), to meet some well-known vloggers / bloggers high up the Spinnaker Tower, and my thoughts on what is likely to be my last P&O cruise in quite some time! It's all here and it's yours. Donโ€™t forget to like this video, subscribe and turn on notifications for bi-weekly cruise and travel vlogs plus my Monday night lives!
