Where no doubt she will be crawling with Vloggers and the like all fighting to show us what we are missing. Love it when the Vloggers stay out of the picture and keep quiet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it when the Vloggers stay out of the picture and keep quiet. I’m dreading some of these vlogger “couples” being on our cruise. Some are cringeworthy some ok but the “look at me” type grate me. imagine being in the Epicurean and one couple of chaps I won’t mention would simply ruin the ambiance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazrat Posted December 17, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2022 The only vloggers I dislike are those who are paid to be there, I automatically switch off because you cannot believe what they are saying, and one particular couple who said that the beach house food is the worst on land or sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree fully. Those types of vloggers are about the most irritating and pointless of space-wasters - and often so ingratiating with their desperate wannabe influencerisms. Just no, no, no. I’d rather watch Ethel and Arthur from Bury with their dodgy camera work, dubious presentation skills but real, natural heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see her arrive ' live ' there will no doubt be a few videos posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
