0:00:03 > 0:00:06Imagine you've embarked on the journey of a lifetime -
0:00:06 > 0:00:10a luxury cruise around the world.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14I've done things, I've seen places that other people dream of seeing.
0:00:15 > 0:00:192,000 people are travelling some of the way
0:00:19 > 0:00:24but 400 lucky souls have signed up for the entire adventure.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28This, for me, is the culmination of a life's dream.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31It sure makes your eyes water.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35They'll be stopping at some of the most beautiful and exotic
0:00:35 > 0:00:36places around the globe...
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I think it's the most amazing thing ever.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44But this all-inclusive package
0:00:44 > 0:00:47offers much more than sunshine and sightseeing.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49On this global odyssey,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51the passengers have their very own vicar.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Welcome, everyone, to this very special and very happy occasion.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00The ship IS my parish and therefore I'm seeking to minister
0:01:00 > 0:01:03to everyone on board, whether they are believers or not.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Welcome to The Cruise.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Since leaving the UK,
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Balmoral has travelled over 25,000 miles around the world.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28She's now embarking on the final leg of her voyage
0:01:28 > 0:01:31from Dubai to Southampton.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39The Reverend Colin Still has been on board for the whole trip.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42'Some people get a bit tired by the end of it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45'It's a long time and it just depends on the individual.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47'Some just don't want it to end'
0:01:47 > 0:01:51and others just get itchy feet to be on land again.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56'As the Chaplain, I've plenty to do, so time passes quickly.'
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Hello, Hans. I'm on my patrol today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05'It varies enormously, but most of the folk that are all-rounders'
0:02:05 > 0:02:08are seasoned travellers and enjoy it.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11We've done the Mediterranean a couple of times.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16The best one, I think, was probably going around South America in 2008.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- That was wonderful. - It was wonderful.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21This is Christopher and Liz Glovers' first round-the-world cruise.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Well, I think it's amazing.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I don't think it's something we'll ever do again,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and Christopher's health hasn't been very good
0:02:31 > 0:02:35so we're taking the opportunity now, while we're able to do it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41I was still in hospital the morning the ship left Southampton.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44At ten in the morning I was still in Reading,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47in the Royal Berks Hospital, so it was a tight run thing.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Anyway, he's looking much better, and that's the important thing.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54And the staff, the doctor and the nurse, are very good.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56He's been down to see them and he's doing all right.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02It's like being on a great big old people's home on this ship, isn't it?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I probably shouldn't say that, but it is!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Well, a very good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We've come together this morning for the preparation
0:03:13 > 0:03:15for the Country Fayre,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and the opportunity for the passengers to volunteer to run
0:03:18 > 0:03:22and set up the various stalls for it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24They're hoping to raise money
0:03:24 > 0:03:27for orphanages in Thailand and the Philippines.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Last year we raised a fantastic amount of money,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34over £13,000, we raised last year,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37which was quite an amazing sum, so...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Cruise Director Anthony Borrowdale
0:03:39 > 0:03:43and his assistant, Jennifer Delby, are in charge.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Everybody comes together to bring it on and make it happen.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49It's a huge event and everyone knows how important it is.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51What else have we got? Splat the Rat...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It's not a real rat, I have to tell you...
0:03:53 > 0:03:59It's actually our 15th one, so it's a very special one, to be fair.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Ian Earnshaw and George Ailing are planning on playing the fool.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Every village has an idiot, but there's a pair on this ship!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Yeah, there's two of them on here!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Shall I wear it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'I'm being all bandaged up and some blood over me...'
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Hey, George, was that you I pinned?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25'Ian's got these things that people pin on.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27'I don't know what's going to happen, it's just a laugh'
0:04:27 > 0:04:31and we're just going to make as much money as we can.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Drama Coach Carol Bunyan and Choirmistress Sue Alderson
0:04:35 > 0:04:38are going down to Colin's cabin for a spot of gambling.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44I'm going to do the fruit machine stall with Carol and Sue.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49I'm a female bass. I'm sorry, I have my standards.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Are we ready?- And you mustn't laugh.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- No.- Oh, why not?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Deadly serious.- No, no.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Deadly serious, right.- OK.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01BELL RINGS ALL: Kerching!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05THEY ALL LAUGH
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It's a laugh.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13The Cruise has arrived in Muscat, Oman,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15where the Glovers are on a mission.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20We're in the Muttrah Souk, which is one of the main markets of Oman.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26And we came here originally two years ago.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30When we came last time,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I took a photograph of a lovely elderly gentleman,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36and we have the photograph to take back to him.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's a big photo of him.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43That's very nice but not just at the moment, thank you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45'Here's the picture.'
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I thought he was a very good-looking and distinguished man,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52and we will have a look and we will ask, and I'm sure,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55because we've got the picture, someone will recognise him,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57so that's what we are here for.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00It would be lovely to give him the picture, wouldn't it?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02So that's what we're hoping.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- There's a wonderful smell of incense.- Oh, it's amazing, isn't it?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07I think we've passed it.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Never mind, we will ask someone.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I shall be devastated if we don't find him,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17having brought it all this way...
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- ..what about asking these gentlemen? - Yes.- Yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Ah-ha, where's the shop? Yes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27That's what I thought.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29We will go and have a look. Thank you very much.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35That's wonderful, thank you so much, thank you. Thank you, thank you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Some success.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40We're looking for...Said bin Mohammed.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46I took his photograph two years ago and I've brought it back for him.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- It's the next shop. - Next shop. He's not here?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52He's gone to Iran?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56He's gone to Iran? His son is here.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00It's the next shop, next door. He was sitting there, yes, he was.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- And is this your father? - No, he's my sponsor.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- You're working with him?- Yes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09So may we give that to you? Thank you very much.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Oh, well, mission partially accomplished, anyway.- Absolutely.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32For the past two weeks, Captain Stoica has been navigating Balmoral
0:07:32 > 0:07:35through an area infamous for piracy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42On this particular cruise, we have to pass by the high-risk area
0:07:42 > 0:07:45which is mainly located in the Gulf of Aden.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47And of course, passing through this area,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50we have to take a lot of precautions and arrangements,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53to make sure we don't have any unwanted incidents.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Balmoral's now heading into the Red Sea and out of the danger zone
0:08:01 > 0:08:04when they have their first encounter with pirates.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Welcome to our Pirate Party on the poop deck.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16We are now safely through the high-risk, transit area
0:08:16 > 0:08:19without any problems whatsoever.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22So can we have a round of applause for our security team, please.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Come on, come this way.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26# Ole, ole, ole, ole...#
0:08:26 > 0:08:28After three - hip-hip... Hooray!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31..hip-hip... Hooray!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33..hip-hip... Hooray!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'll see you dancing on the dance floor, folks.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Enjoy the party. Thank you!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40# Feeling hot, hot, hot... #
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It creates a bit of excitement. We all had these navy hats
0:08:48 > 0:08:52and had some rum punch and danced my head off.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54This rum punch kept coming.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It wasn't weak either, and I had a few glasses!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02It was a great afternoon. I slept well that night!
0:09:02 > 0:09:03# So we go rum, bum, bum, bum
0:09:05 > 0:09:07# Yeah we rum, bum, bum, bum
0:09:10 > 0:09:13# Ole, ole, ole, ole
0:09:13 > 0:09:17# Ole ole, ole ole
0:09:17 > 0:09:19# Yeah we rum, bum, bum, bum
0:09:21 > 0:09:23# Yeah we rum, bum, bum, bum
0:09:25 > 0:09:27# Feeling hot, hot, hot
0:09:28 > 0:09:30# Feeling hot, hot, hot...#
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Well, we came into the Suez Canal this morning at about 4am,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and so I arranged not to have a service
0:09:48 > 0:09:51because a lot of the passengers would want
0:09:51 > 0:09:54to be out on deck watching as we go through.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56# It's a watercolour morning
0:09:56 > 0:09:58# Get your paintbox and your paper
0:09:58 > 0:10:01# While the sun comes round. #
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I'm painting these little pen and watercolour pictures
0:10:05 > 0:10:09of places we have been to for the country fayre
0:10:09 > 0:10:14and I hope they will sell in some form and that money will go towards
0:10:14 > 0:10:16these orphans, which will be lovely.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I find I have to do this outside, you can't get the light indoors.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's lovely to sit out here in the open
0:10:23 > 0:10:25with the Suez Canal going past,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29which is extraordinary, isn't it? It seems such a long, long time
0:10:29 > 0:10:31since we went through the Panama Canal.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38We have the Queen Victoria behind us, a Cunard ship.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39We're in a big convoy,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and quite extraordinary to think that at the other end
0:10:42 > 0:10:44when we get to Alexandria,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47we're going to be back in the Mediterranean.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50We've been to so many seas, so many seas.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Every time I see these masses of sand,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I think of my dad who was in the RAF
0:10:57 > 0:11:01in 8th Squadron which was in Khormaksar in Aden,
0:11:01 > 0:11:02down the road from here.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04And when I was a very small child
0:11:04 > 0:11:07he would talk Arabic, so if he wanted me to come in
0:11:07 > 0:11:11from playing in the garden it was, "Fisatalle, Camilla, fisatalle."
0:11:11 > 0:11:12And I thought that was English
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and in the playground I'd go "Camilla, fisatalle."
0:11:15 > 0:11:19And I had the whole of West Court Primary School talking half Arabic,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22but I always think of Dad when I look at all the sand.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Balmoral has docked in the Egyptian port of Alexandria.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43We've come to El Alamein, where there are over 7,000 graves
0:11:43 > 0:11:48of the Allied forces that died here at that battle.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It's a special place for many people
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and one of our passengers has come who fought here,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00which is a very moving moment for him.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's moving for me
0:12:03 > 0:12:08because my father served in the Royal Engineers in North Africa.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10But he then joined the forces
0:12:10 > 0:12:13going across to Sicily and then to Italy.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19And he was killed in September 1944 just outside of Rimini.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I don't have many memories of my father
0:12:24 > 0:12:28but I can remember being in an Anderson shelter in our garden
0:12:29 > 0:12:33and I can remember sleeping down there and him being there...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36we were as a family, all huddled up,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39spending the nights there when London was being...bombed.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I was nine when my father was killed,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49and just to add to the pain of it all,
0:12:49 > 0:12:54my sister and I had been evacuated to a house in Leicester
0:12:54 > 0:12:59and so the landlady there was the one who told me that my father had died.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
0:13:12 > 0:13:19At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21ALL: We will remember them.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52The passengers and crew have rallied together to produce
0:13:52 > 0:13:55all sorts of things for the country fayre.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I've done these paintings. They're all places we've been to.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01A couple of camels.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04SHE LAUGHS Hey! That's great!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I've never done camels before.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08The colours are lovely in it, really nice.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12I gave them to Jennifer and she liked them very much,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14and to my surprise they're going to auction them,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and we just hope they sell.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18We've got so many premium lots, you see,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20so I think it will be a big event.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22She's shown them to some of the ladies
0:14:22 > 0:14:24and they were all very enthusiastic.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27This is my favourite. Yes. They're so colourful.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30They look better than yesterday's camels!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It's only an ego boost if they sell!
0:14:34 > 0:14:39It's very embarrassing if they don't, so let's wait and see.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'll be very nervous on the day, yes.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I'll probably stay in my cabin while the auction's on.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Thank you very much. Congratulations to you all
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and thank you very much for the huge efforts.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Let's have fun, and let's raise as much money as we can,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and now, officially, I declare the country fayre open.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05CROWD CHEER
0:15:11 > 0:15:16In a parish, invariably, you have a country fayre or a fete
0:15:16 > 0:15:18in the summer, it's a tradition,
0:15:18 > 0:15:23and in my parish, I always had a tea party for the over-sixties.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Just be careful!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It is a great atmosphere!
0:15:37 > 0:15:39A highlight for me would be
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Jamie's chest waxing - that was definitely one to remember.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51If anyone wants to put any cash in, be very brave.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00ALL: Ohhh!
0:16:00 > 0:16:03'And if you'd have seen his face, his face...'
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- and the pain...- And his chest was as red as a beetroot after.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I suggested they pull the wax
0:16:09 > 0:16:14and they pull it up very slowly, but that didn't go down very well.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, my God! OH!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That one hurt!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31One person, only one person got the rat today.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The fruit machine seemed to go really well
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and they raised an awful lot of money.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Having practised it, we were efficient at it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Ker-ching! Ker-ching! Ker-ching!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00We had a great afternoon. My arm is aching
0:17:00 > 0:17:03because it's really quite hard work, but yes, it was very good.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12This type of day
0:17:12 > 0:17:15when you are working side by side with the guests, it's lovely.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22'It's just... You can't compare it to any of the other days,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24'it's just a very special day.'
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I might have one, though!
0:17:26 > 0:17:27We know where that might be!
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I am buzzing because it's gone so well today, it really has.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35We've raised an awful lot of money
0:17:35 > 0:17:38and it's all thanks to the volunteers here on Balmoral,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40and of course the staff and the crew have done fantastic
0:17:40 > 0:17:43so I'm very, very happy with today.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47But the fundraising hasn't finished yet.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51In the Neptune Lounge, Lizzie's paintings are up for auction.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53These were all painted along the way on our grand voyage.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56So we'll start off, then, with Havana, Cuba.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59£10, who's going to give me £10? £10.
0:17:59 > 0:18:0110 in the back, looking at 10, looking at 15.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05£15 down here, £20 down here, looking at £25.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Who's going to give me £25? £25 down here, looking at £30.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13It's at £25, going once, going twice.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- 30!- £30, 30 at the back there.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Going once, going twice, sold to you, sir. £30.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Congratulations, well done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24They seemed to like my art, didn't they?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I think it's because it's places that people have been to
0:18:27 > 0:18:31and they recognise them, so that always works well, I think.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36£50, OK. Going once, going twice.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39£55, OK. It's going to be a long night.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42OK, it's at 55, looking for 60.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I think the most popular one was the camels. Lots of people said
0:18:46 > 0:18:48to me, "I would like to buy a camel"
0:18:48 > 0:18:50so I should have done lots of camels probably!
0:18:50 > 0:18:54£45, £50 we have. Do we have £55?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Going once, going twice,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01sold to you for £50, thank you very much.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I'm so relieved they're all gone because it's so
0:19:03 > 0:19:06embarrassing if you sit there, and nobody wants them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Anyway, they have, and that's lots of money for a very worthy cause.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12That's good.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16All in all, the fayre made over £8,000 for the orphans.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23It takes 500 dedicated crew
0:19:23 > 0:19:26to keep Balmoral ship-shape and Bristol fashion.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32But at the end of the trip, they swap their mops for microphones
0:19:32 > 0:19:36and their drinks trays for tambourines in the crew show.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38People just standing and greeting you,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41they're cleaning the swimming pools and things like that,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44you know, you never realise that these people know how to dance.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Hostess Juliet Taco is putting the show together.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52It's always the height of the cruise.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Everyone, even the crew loves it, and I think it's really good
0:19:55 > 0:20:00because they could express themselves when they do a show, the crew show.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And they're not the only ones rehearsing.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07# Summer lovin', had me a blast... #
0:20:08 > 0:20:10For their final show,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Sue's choir will be performing songs from Grease.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17'It's all going really well, we're up now,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20'this will be our fifth big concert.'
0:20:20 > 0:20:23# Summer sun, something's begun
0:20:23 > 0:20:26# But oh oh the summer nights...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28'You've got to put on'
0:20:28 > 0:20:32a good performance, it's got to be something really quite special.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37'It's hard work, it has been hard work, but amazing all the same.'
0:20:37 > 0:20:41# Greased lightning
0:20:42 > 0:20:45# Go
0:20:45 > 0:20:49# Greased lightning, go greased lightning... #
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Balmoral's leaving her last port of call, Gibraltar,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57and heading for home.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03This week has gathered momentum as we get nearer to England,
0:21:03 > 0:21:07and there are lots of activities and also, beginning to have to say
0:21:07 > 0:21:11goodbye to people, because when we get into Southampton,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13everything happens at once and you regret afterwards
0:21:13 > 0:21:16not having said goodbye to some of the people
0:21:16 > 0:21:18who you've spent a lot of time with on the ship.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23It's good to see you this afternoon and it's our last service together,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26because I shall be leaving the ship on Saturday.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It's a sad moment for me to have to say goodbye,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33it's been lovely to know you,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37and I shall be remembering you and especially your little girl.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yes, Mica.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43'They have been regularly to all the services,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47'they are just a delightful couple and it's been lovely knowing them.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I certainly will remember them in my prayers,
0:21:54 > 0:21:55cos I know it's never easy,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58especially as they're not leaving the ship until October.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Thanks, then. Goodbye.- Bye bye.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Some passengers have formed friendships
0:22:07 > 0:22:09that will last well beyond the cruise.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14You know when you meet somebody, first time you think,
0:22:14 > 0:22:15"I like him."
0:22:15 > 0:22:19'There's something there, a chemistry, if you know what I mean,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21'and that's what me and George have got.'
0:22:21 > 0:22:26I'm lashed with repellent. It'll even keep Maureen away from me!
0:22:26 > 0:22:29He's a bit loud, but without that loudness, that's not Ian.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31World champion!
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Oh! On the line!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36'He's coming up to me'
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- and I'm going to take him round York, so he can taste some good beer.- Yeah.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Because what he's got down there, he's got some rubbish down there.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I'm going to get him to taste some jellied eels.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I can't imagine me eating jellied eels, I just...
0:22:51 > 0:22:54You'll try it, I'll make you try it.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Tonight, it's the dinner for what we call the all-rounders,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06people who have gone all around the world
0:23:06 > 0:23:10from Southampton to Southampton and have sung in the choir
0:23:10 > 0:23:13on all five legs of that journey.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15CUTLERY CLINKS
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I really want to express my enormous appreciation to you all,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23for the contribution you've made to my ministry on board.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29It really has been a real pleasure and honour
0:23:29 > 0:23:35to work with such lovely people, and so it's just a huge thank you
0:23:35 > 0:23:38to all of you for everything that you've done,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42for all the effort you've put in and all the support you've given,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44to the choir.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48To friendship, which I think is really important.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51To friendship.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Everyone's packed into the Neptune Lounge
0:24:01 > 0:24:03for the most popular show of the cruise.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10A very good evening, ladies and gentlemen, good evening!
0:24:10 > 0:24:14And a very, very warm welcome to you all here in the Neptune Lounge,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18a night lots of you look forward to, because tonight
0:24:18 > 0:24:23it is our Crew Show - all the nice girls love a sailor, is that right?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26We're about to find out if that is true.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30We welcome members of our deck team!
0:24:30 > 0:24:33MUSIC: "YMCA" by the Village People
0:24:33 > 0:24:37# It's fun to stay at the YMCA. #
0:24:37 > 0:24:42'All the staff from all round the ship, absolutely fantastic.'
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Absolutely fabulous. I love the Gangnam Style!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55MUSIC: "Gangnam Style" by Psy
0:25:07 > 0:25:10As you can see in the crowd, they all go mad and whistling,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12and clapping and singing along.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18As well as organising the show, Juliet's also performing.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24# I pray you'll be our eyes
0:25:28 > 0:25:31# And watch us where we go
0:25:34 > 0:25:38# And help us to be wise
0:25:41 > 0:25:47# In times when we don't know... #
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It's been superb, oh, I loved it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54You saw all the people standing -
0:25:54 > 0:25:58a standing ovation, that says everything, completely.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:09They're amateurs, and yet they put on such a professional show.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Thank you, thank you very much.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Very, very good.- Thank you.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Goodbye!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24'It's a strange ministry, and different from a parish at home,
0:26:24 > 0:26:29'because a parish at sea, we are very transient, but we have shared
0:26:29 > 0:26:33'a pilgrimage together, a journey, and shared experiences
0:26:33 > 0:26:37'and shared time together. But we feel sad that we are all parting.'
0:26:41 > 0:26:45# Go, greased lightning
0:26:45 > 0:26:47# Go greased lightning
0:26:47 > 0:26:51# Go, greased lightning
0:26:51 > 0:26:53# Go greased lightning
0:26:53 > 0:26:54# You are supreme
0:26:54 > 0:26:56# The girls'll scream
0:26:56 > 0:26:59# For greased lightning... #
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I'm going to miss them, I am, I'm going to miss them a lot,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I think everyone's ready to go home.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09# Wam bam a lama a bam bambam boom. #
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I've just being saying tonight, we do want to keep in touch
0:27:15 > 0:27:17because we've gone through so much together,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21had so many amazing experiences and adventures,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23great friendships have been made and I'm sure a lot of them
0:27:23 > 0:27:26will continue, which is really nice.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29# We'll meet again... #
0:27:29 > 0:27:31After four months at sea
0:27:31 > 0:27:35and having travelled 33,000 miles,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Balmoral is back in the Solent.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40We've been to 20 countries
0:27:40 > 0:27:45and we've visited 33 ports, that's quite a mammoth journey.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Some of the passengers probably will be happy to go home
0:27:48 > 0:27:51some would like to continue with us and probably, they will.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54For us, this is a normal turnaround day - new passengers coming,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56new crews who will stay on board for another cruise
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and this is how the life goes on.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04# ...we'll meet again some sunny day
0:28:07 > 0:28:10# Keep smiling through... #
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Till next time, bye bye.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18It's been a wonderful holiday, an absolute trip of a lifetime.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Really, it's been so good - it's been marvellous, it really has.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Bye, darling, I'll be in touch. - See you soon.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Love to you all.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Where do you want to go, front or back?
0:28:34 > 0:28:35LAUGHTER
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Goodbye.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I'm going home.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45# I was singing this song
0:28:45 > 0:28:49# We'll meet again
0:28:49 > 0:28:54# Don't know where, don't know when
0:28:54 > 0:29:02# But I know we'll meet again some sunny day. #
