Cruising With Jane McDonald

[kiwi sailor]

Who remembers Jane McDonald from the BBC series from the late 90’s called The Cruise. Well she is back on New Zealand TV screens next month in a new series called Cruising With Jane McDonald on Sky’s Vibe channel. The first episodes feature Sydney and the beautiful New Zealand as she travels on the HAL Noordam. The series kicks off on Wednesday 13th March at 7.30pm.  Compulsory viewing for all cruise lovers.

She was on our September Sun Princess cruise. The episode has already screened in the UK on Channel 5. A friend who watched it caught a glimpse of us when we docked in Broome. I think SBS screen her series in Australia so we are waiting to see what date it goes to air.

Only seen one with her, which was the Viking Baltics one.

 

Can't say I was impressed...

Watched a few of her documentaries on cruises too, she seemed to spend more time on what she enjoyed more than telling you very much about the ship / ports etc.

Perhaps this was what she was hired to do 🤔 be a great life though, come to think of it.

She should have stuck with her day job of past years, cruise ship singer in the Caribbean. I reckon she was OTT in the TV series, that laugh drove me nutz.  She is on he Noordam? I hopes she disembarks before I embark on 21 April.

Nice enough lady, but hosting cruise ship docos is not her forte.

I only saw the start of one episode.  With her cruise ship in the background she refered to it as a boat. 

Even worse than mighty cruise ships.

She is a peasant from the everything that floats is a boat brigade.

Zero credibility - switched Off.

I love her, I think she is genuine and lovely.  I would prefer she lay off the sexual harassment a bit though.  You don't have to be pretentious to talk about cruising!

She likes the lads, especially cruise ship staff.

I have seen the first two series, the Aus/NZ cruises are in the 4th I believe and look forward to seeing them.

So far they have only shown series one and two. Looking  forward to series 3 and 4.

I agree, it is her take 'on cruising' and she does shore excursions that are a bit different. I enjoy it for what it is and a documentary on cruising is not what it is supposed to be but what it could be.
