A great promo video from Princess

Do you have to have a beard to be allowed on a M class if youre a bloke?

Yes a good attempt at presenting a reality lifestyle and the boat looks fab but its nothing like reality on my boat. Where is the rude incommunicative teenager who doesnt want to be there? Why arent the husbands and wives arguing? Why arent the grandkids doodling on the cabin walls with felt tips. Why isnt the owner in a sulk over the red wine stain on his teak deck? Where is the seasick guest vomiting over the side? Why has nobody got a hangover and why isnt it raining? Thats the reality of the boating lifestyle;)

You've missed out taking the bog apart to remove wet wipe/tampax and changing the macerator. But I guess that's the crews job:o

However, sounds like fun on the good ship F###h:D

And how come the toilet isn't in bits on the pontoon with the owner up to his armpits in waste trying to remove towels from a blocked pipe :)?

Maybe life is rosier on a Princess?

Yep ... well spotted Hurricane, although wouldn't imagine in real life it's a spot you would pick to anchor in... but probably a good area to avoid other boats interfering with the filming.

I had a look at the chart in that location and to be that far away from Magrat, you would need to be in 40m of water.
I'm not sure that my windlass would handle that - might do but that would be too deep for me.
However, it does say gravel and stone on the bottom.
We tried anchoring in Magrat Cala itself last month - about 3 inches of sand over slab rock - didn't work.

Steady on everyone - you will get Portofino wanting to use the toilets next.

I'm always tempted to come back into the saloon having been exploring down below at one of the boat shows and say to the sales bods, "I couldn't find any toilet paper."

Works best with indoor shows like London where the boat is on a stand :)

You lot are such kill joys :)

Henry :)

Superb! :encouragement:
Yours is actually a business idea in disguise - let's see:
The Princess video has so far around 20 thousands views.
Just imagine a video done with a similarly flawless quality, and representing this true boating lifestyle reality.
I'm sure that with our joint efforts we could add further details - some folks already started, with valid contributions.
Maybe the screenplay wouldn't be enough to make a full flagged movie out of it, or maybe yes.
Regardless, it would become a viral video in no time, with a views count measured in millions rather than thousands... :D

Well, I guess it does for someone, considering that Tecma goes as far as building WC bowls that include bidet functionality... :disgust:

Yes youre right I missed that bit from the Deleted User boating lifestyle. Spending half a day taking a toilet apart because some idiot has put some kitchen roll down there that they used to clean up the puppy poo. And then spending the other half of the day taking the second toilet apart fishing out the poo sodden kitchen roll that you had taken out of the first toilet and put down the second toilet believing that it had been sufficiently macerated by the first toilet. All in 30degC temps

Blimey M, are you for real? No, hang on, 'course you are, you can't make this stuff up...
A clear cut case of you made your bed, you must lie in it, I reckon! :D
Well worth a specific scene in the "true boating lifestyle" movie, anyway! :cool:

I'll see if I can get Princess to loan us a 35 for the week but don't hold your breath.

I'll show them scubaman's latest videos and tell them he's massive in Nodic Noir. If anyone asks you were the main man behind "The Bridge". I'll tell them we supplied Saga Noén's Porsche 911.

If they buy it then shotgun the master cabin :)

What's the worst that could possibly happen......

Henry :)

Yes. Yarmouth harbour on the hottest day of the year circa 1995. Sense of humour failure does not go anywhere close to describing my mood on that day and divorce was mentioned several times along with canine extermination

Surely you can get a man in to do that for you? Of have all the Poles been deported in preparation for you know what?

It was over 20yrs ago and Poles didnt exist then, nor EU migrants. It was me, 2 toilets and some soggy brown kitchen roll. Now of course I keep 4 or 5 EU migrants on my boat for every eventuality;)

That's a pretty solid plan, I'd say. Go for it.

There would be no shortage of ideas. Maybe we could do an 'exploding bog' episode.
 
Probably best we don't mention that when I'm trying to get the keys off them. I'm not sure they would too enthusiastic. I'm thinking words like, careful, responsible, slow, sober and artistic would be best. Exploding and toilets would be bad. Very bad......

My dream of that master cabin is ebbing away as I type :)

I've shown Mrs Henry the video and suggested she pull her finger out a bit when serving me drinks and food. Take a leaf out of the stewardess's book I said.

That didn't go down too well for some reason. I guess she's not into constructive criticism :)

1 2 3 and you're back in the room !

After a period in the wilderness this thread would appear to be in the land of the living again. Just to confuse things the video ended up being discussed Here.

That thread has been moved into the forum discussion area which I never knew existed, even though the last 8 pages or so were spent discussing the video linked to in this original thread.

In light of the other thread which has been buried deep in the forum the wind has somewhat been knocked out of this one. But thanks for going through the motions and restoring it all the same.

Seems a bit peculiar to re-instate this thread and "bury" the other one that ended up with more action. One step forwards, another one backwards. Ah well.
