I like this guy’s sense of humour and presentation
Thank you!
I vote for the Ritzy food vlog!
Ha ha. Thank you!
Like your other videos, you’ve created a delightful, quirky, and unique tour. A true joy to watch.
That's so kind of you to say, many thanks indeed!
Very helpful video series. I am booked on the Infinity for this same itinerary in late March. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. Have a great cruise!
I'm going with a group on a cruise to Greece/Turkey on Infinity and stumbled upon your videos and LOVE them! They are so informative and you and your wife are delightful. I subscribed.
Hi Wendy, lovely to hear from you. Wishing you an amazing time on Infinity. It's a fantastic itinerary around Greece and Turkey, you'll love it all!
@@ritzytravelguide I went on my first cruise to Alaska on Celebrity Edge in July and I'm hooked now. I'm also hooked on your channel and you two! I'm going to relax and binge watch your videos today and dream about my future adventures.
The Edge Class of ships are really excellent, aren't they!
Enjoy binge watching 😊
Im also doing a 10 day best of Greece in February, (our first cruise ever) and I have a feeling your videos will be a big help.
@Freethecommons it's a beautiful region to cruise in. Wishing you a fabulous time!
You inspired me to book a Mediterranean cruise for our family in June. Looking forward to it.
That's fantastic! Well done! Which cruise line and itinerary did you choose?
@ritzytravelguide Royal Caribbean Odyssey of the Seas since we are traveling with kids. From Rome s sailing to Santorini, Ephesus, Mykonos, and Naples (signed up for pizza academy based on another of your videos)
Have a fabulous time!
And yes to the food blogs
I'll try to put one out on our Greece trip, later this autumn
Loving your production values, Bill!
The drone shots flying alongside a 200 thousand-ton ocean liner- Ritzy and then some!
Thanks so much for watching!
There is a wonderful tomato called Thessaloniki. It is a firm yellow tomato with wonderful flavor.
Really? I must look out for it
Love your presentations and witty sense of narration 👍
Thank you so much 😊
Good vid! Mother in law is from there. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
A very enjoyable video. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you Joan
Great video and looking forward to Ephesus next time. We will be taking our first Celebrity Cruise in October.
Have a fantastic time in September!
I love your videos very entertaining 🎉
Thank you so much!
And yes to the food blogs 😎👍
In a few months, we might have a little test run
A definite "yes" to the idea of the retro footage, especially if it relates to the same ship or ports you are returning to again! It's fascinating how times change and one doesn't realise it.
Absolutely!
What a fantastic video Bill. The food looks amazing, as with the places you visited. Thanks and happy cruising.
Many thanks Salvatore
Enjoy the rapport between you and your wife, Bill 😊 Also appreciate level of detail you go in to and the grading at the end.
My third video of yours now and you are absolutely hilarious!!!
I’ve noticed that your videos tend to (well, the three I have watched so far) get started by 7:00-7:30am. On my only cruise I did the same and it was fabulous. I remember your MSC cruise, poolside after 9:30 all the chairs reserved.
Thanks for your work!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments, and great to have you with us! Yes, we are early risers, up and out that door!
Another great video. Thank you. Great to see the subscribers increasing!!
Thank you so much!
Great vlog - thank you! Now looking at trips to Thessaloniki...
It's got a great atmosphere!
Another interesting, informative video, thank you.
Thanks very much Kathy
I love you guys & your humor! Great video.
Many thanks!
I could listen to you all day....just love your narration style...very 'British Pathe'. Enjoy Mrs's perspectives as well. You should have RUclips T-shirt merchandise with "Ritzy Yumminess" written on it. 😄
Hi thank you so much for your kind words! I shall be on the phone to the T-shirt company with all haste!
Love your channel and have learnt so much. Can you tell me have you ever done a Virgin Cruise thanks
Hi Deb, going on Virgin this September!
Fantastic we did one last year and can absolutely recommend it. Hoping to be back in September also but seriously considering Celebrity Ascent after all your experience. Thanks for all your honest reviews 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@lilw6791 Very much looking forward to the Virgin cruise, hoping it will be a lot of fun!
Yes, we can heartily recommend the Ascent. It gets a lot of things right!
I really enjoyed that, thank you 😊
Thanks so much Lorna 😊
Great episode guys 👏👍🍻🇬🇧
Thank you!
Thanks! I'm planning a trip to Eastern Mediterranean next spring. Thanks for this video and the upcoming videos. I've already been to Ephesus on a land trip, but I would like to go back. If you have never been to Mexico City they have organ grinders all over town. I like your new back drop!
Thanks! Street musicians always put a smile on my face! Have a great Mediterranean trip next spring.
Near excursion is Pella and the ancient aeges where king Philip 2 father of Alexander the Great grave can be visited
Thanks!
WOW those local savoury pastries look amazing
Filo pastry is much lighter
Those sweet pastries OH MY the smell of the Cinnamon and other ingredients ❤️❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎😎😳😳😳
I agree with going into these non tourist area (within reason)
❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴👍 👍
The Spanakopita was heavenly!
Bill, what was your favorite Greek island port of call?
Hi. A good mix would be: Athens, Crete, Corfu, and Rhodes.
Santorini and Mykonos can get over run.
Try to avoid June to August almost anywhere in Greece and Turkey, if you van. Best time is Spring and Autumn
I leave in 2 weeks for my MSC Eastern Med Cruise plus Monaco for the Grand Prix.
Hi Blaine. Great to hear from you again. Have a great time. Let us know afterwards how it went!
@@ritzytravelguide I sure will. Still booked for QM2 for June 2025 after Royal Ascot..
What time of year was this filmed?
Hi, end of March
@@ritzytravelguide thanks so much 🙏
When you say pace I hear piss...
