WETHERSPOONS BREAKFAST - GOOD, BAD OR REALLY BAD ?
We decided to have a day shopping at one of the best markets in the UK - Doncaster Market. There has been a market at this historic Yorkshire location for over 700 years and its a great place to shop. Our plan was to buy fresh seafood for a dinner feast but to kick things off we decided to try our first ever breakfast at J D Wetherspoons. We have heard a lot about Wetherspoons breakfasts both good and bad so we wanted to review for ourselves and find out what its all about.

Would you eat this ?? Whitby Whelks and Winkles
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.
How soft are the beds in YC? we've gone both fantastica and aurea and both times the beds were like rocks 😢, my hubby likes them but they were too firm for me, literally woke up in pain each morning
Our beds were quite soft and definitely super comfy for us 😃
We did a cruise on the world Europa last September. It was our first cruise, so didn’t know what to fully expect. We knew there’d be huge crowds of folk, but nothing can prepare you for the mayhem! We only found out about yacht club halfway through the cruise, so next time we’ll 100% be upgrading to YC!
Well worth spending the extra to go YC for so many reasons 😃
Hi There My Name is Domenico & My Wife Deborah , we live in US Florida and i just saw your video on the Barcelona Cruise in the Yacht Club , we have don e the Club 4 ti mes and we absolutely love it , love to hear more of your cruise . keep cruising
Hi Domenico and Deborah, happy you enjoyed the video and yes YC is a truly lovely experience. We are in YC again in January and look forward to that cruise. Thanks for watching :)
I was lucky enough to be in the YC on the Meraviglia earlier this year. I have a feeling we are going to look back at these as the "good ole days" soon. The YC secret is out. I can't imagine prices won't skyrocket soon.
I hope your premonition of increased YC prices does not come to fruition, that would be a sad day. Lets enjoy the good ole days while we can :)
I was too! In April. Did you meet on the pool deck, server 'Irish ' ?She's so lovely. We loved Maitre, 'Arthur' , too❤🎉.. and the Master & Commander of the Ship - Captain Alex Galotto. We made friends with cos he's looking to moving here in Spain 🎉
I have never had good fish and chips on a cruise. And I am not an expert.
Last place you would expect to find good fish n chips is on a cruise ship but the ones served to us were, lets just say, very acceptable. We'd definitely rather be sat at an old English seaside town eating traditional fish and chips with fingers out of newspaper but thats not always possible :)
Glen and Rhonda thank you so much for this video. I haven’t come across any other yacht club videos that detailed the food in the restaurant. My husband and I are thinking about going on NYC cruise this fall 2024. We are deciding between MSC yacht club, celebrity sky suite, hall, America, Neptune suite. I felt like I was right there beside you experiencing your Y.C. club experience.
Hello, glad you enjoyed the video - We can only comment on the YC experience as we have never tried the other cruise line offerings that you mentioned. All we will say is they had better be darned good to be able to beat YC. Thanks for watching :)
On the newer, bigger ships they have inside cabins in the YC for about half the price.
Nice to have a view but half price and still with YC perks is def worth considering :)
My wife and I are doing an inside YC cabin on seascape in February we are so excited!
@@shawnfarley3467 We also have booked an inside for our cruise on the Seascape out of Galveston in 2026.
YC is the only way to go with MSC. The service and the value are terrific.
Can’t agree more we thought it was terrific value and a terrific experience 😃
So worth it. Sailed out of New York last year. Cannot cruise any other way. So spoiled!
Spoiled is definitely the right term - so spoiled in YC 👍😃
Excellent flight review Glen & Rhonda thankyou. My wife and I will experience the BA A350-1000 this September YYZ to LHR for our first portion of our trip. We are flying Premium Economy, but I'm considering upgrades to Business depending on what deal they give me at check-in counter. I've been impressed on other You Tube channels on the BA Business product also I've only seen mixed reviews on Premium and the majority says it isn't worth the extra cost you pay from sitting in just Economy. Again thanks for the video Cheers
For us it was definitely worth the extra cost. Thanks for watching.
What did you think of the ports on this cruise? Did being Yacht Club passengers affect the speed of getting on and off the ship for excursions?
The ports of call were great. Naples was awesome but for us was just spoilt by the speeding scooters in the old town. YC gives you priority disembarkation at all ports. Whenever you are ready to get off just ask the concierge for a butler escort and you fly past all the lines and are off the ship in minutes. So awesome
Very good video. However, posh people pour the tea in first as their fine China can take the heat. Us working class plebs have to put milk in first to ensure our cups never cracked.
That’s exactly right - historically the milk goes in first to cool the tea during pouring to protect the working class china cup.
enjoyed the vlog, ❤ keeping it real.
Thanks for watching
Judging a city by a short amount of time spent in is dumb, but I actually always considered dumb the people who go on cruise ships. And not trying pizza in the city where there is ther best pizza in the world "because tonight we're having prime ribs" is even more dumb.
I love Naples but not cruise ships😂
Very down to Earth video. You seem to be people who know what you like, and enjoy life.
Thanks for watching !
Too bad you are a complainer...Should have just enjoyed your time there. If you wanted quiet, a cave in Nepal would have been good.
I'm italian and never been to Naples and never will. South of Italy is third world, not only Naples. It's a world shame
Been to Naples twice before. My favourite city in the whole of Italy. Going back in two weeks can’t wait!
Enjoy your trip :)
Napoli is for Buffs. ❤️
The piece of art symbolizes our over consumption of waste . In particular clothing. Of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tonnes end up in landfills.This attributes to climate change, cause of the heating up of garments not decomposing. This piece is teaching us of our over consumption of garments each yr ... it's the artist bringing awareness to a need we need to address.
That is an excellent interpretation of the symbolic meaning of the art piece - appreciated reading this 😀
What a load of idiotic self indulgrent crap from that 'artist' production solves problems poor tech causes them
Stop focusing on traffic and just enjoy it... the scooter drivers know what they're doing. You literally won't let yourself enjoy it. I can't even watch the whole video.
12:19 It’s like those who look for McDonalds when outside of the USA.
Cruise ship people 😂
@@SC-uf5bc yep !
Naples was a beautiful city to visit, full of architectural wonder and quirky streets. When we visit somewhere we tell things from our own perspective both good and bad. Naples is a great city but for us was spoilt by almost being hit several times by speeding scooters. That’s why we wouldn’t care to go back. However we understand the scooter thing is a part of Neapolitan life and as such might not be an issue for other visitors but for us it was a negative factor.
@@GlenAndRhondayou are very right about the scooters … usually kids on them sometimes 2 up …reckless
