Sounds like a nice experience.
It really was. Thanks for watching and commenting.
talking much to fast..switched to another utube after 5 minutes
MSC has the best thermal spas and they are not expensive for the full pass. Aside from the Divina all of them have a therapy pool. Carnival seems to have some good ones on there ship too. I've found Royal doesn't really do thermal areas at all its just saunas.
The therapy pools are nice :) we will have to try MSC soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesone description, great details & beautiful views. Love the ways you divided the 4 areas, the most informative and complete video. Thansk !
Thank you so much. We are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How do I reserve time at the sanctuary? I can’t seem to find anything online or through my app? Thanks for the help. We leave in six days! We can’t wait this is our second cruise on Princess. The last one was excellent.
As a former smoker now I vape. Now not vaping in public areas fine. It is just water vapor 🙄 it should be allowed in cabins. There’s no odor or flame. Don’t act like it’s dangerous. People have rechargeable everything in their cabins. 🤷♀️
I stay a day after cruise❤flying home the last day of cruise is too ruff for me😊
Worst ever. Hundred bucks down the pooper.
I totally agree. Formal nights are fun and for packing reasons we don’t go all out but do dress up a bit.
Can we use the coca cola souvenir cup on the island?
Formal nights are one of the onboard events I look forward to, so long as the dress code is consistently required, ie no shorts and flip flops etc
I like the sense of occasion that formal nights create
Agreed ❤ I enjoy the crew dressing in different uniforms and opportunities to meet the ships officers. And of course lobster 😊
We like formal night, mainly because I love food 😋
We sailed Alaska on the Edge. I don’t think you mentioned the walking track which we definitely enjoyed.
Princess and Royal Caribbean are tops
It’s more about the experience and the memories and the one of a kind experience you’ll never forget rather than the food itself
I have to vote Carnival. It's the only one we have sailed
There is so much to do on carnival!
Thank you I’m gonna be visiting with my family in March 1925 God willing just looking at your videos I like it very much and I love cruising
That is so exciting!! There is so much to do I’m sure you will have a great time.
This is a good video, im going on my first cruise in September.... I am so excited, looks so beautifull. I just think they should have the water park included as well.... Thank you
It would have been nice if they included the water park. We have always enjoyed our day at cococay. Have a great cruise 🚢 ❤️
Nope. There is a 4th kind. I know it is worth it. However, I dont see it as a challenge. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 On NCL, the drinks are unlimited. There is no 15 drink challenge.
Good point! Some cruise lines have brought in daily limits. Doesn’t seem so unlimited 🤷♀️
I cruise with P&O in the uk and their drinks package prices are so high compared to actual drinks prices. So i perfer to do the maths first
They can be very expensive per day! If the cruise is port heavy you’re not even on the ship.
There is actually 4 groups, #4- The Rum Runners / if you know you know
lol
I do the math in advance and as I only have a couple of drinks per day it never works out to buy the drinks package.
The packages are very expensive. It’s not worth it for us either. We stick to the soda package.
I plan, pre-book and pay in advance for all drinks, meals, excursions/activities, as these costs can quickly mount up. Better to plan, budget and pay in advance.
There are a lot of people who don’t want a surprise bill at the end.
I do like the certainty of knowing the total trip cost, otherwise the final bill can be a shock.
You are not alone.
If u don’t get a drinks package, what is avail…just water or coffee tea @ the free eateries? Also, is the water safe 2 drink ( ie. filtered) so for exs, I could fill up my water bottle b4 my excursion & use that instead of buying a bottle of water while out?
There is coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water, lemonade and ice tea. That is what we do. We fill our water bottles from the drink stations at the buffet and cafe.
@@TravelingFlamingo ok, thank you. i'll bring some of those flavor packets/electrolyte things to put in my water for a change of pace instead of water all the time. my mother is frugal so she's not doing the drinks package, plus we don't drink alcohol anyway so we figure thats best. i was just curious about the options.
We are the second type. Always doing the math to see if it's worth it 🍹 🛳 ❤️
What does it coast to use the Sanctuary? Thank you!
It costs between $20-$40 for a day.
@@TravelingFlamingo - how do I make reservations for the sanctuary? Thanks!
I agree, passengers have to accept that the weather can change the itinerary
It can be disappointing so it’s good to know it can happen.
That was a very real concern for us on a Mediterranean cruise focussed on Rome.
Yes it would be disappointing if you are doing a once in a lifetime cruise.
We missed a port because of a hurricane. It was probably better that we weren’t sailing in it.
Thanks for sharing. It definitely would have been rough sailing.
The cabanas are now $650
Wow 🤯
hey ! so the price is the flat rate, we only need to pay more if we get more than one main ? but unlimited apps and drinks (with drink passes)
Yes! We were able to get all the apps we wanted but we have never asked for more than a couple.
I LOVED the ziplining!
I was too scared to try. Maybe next time.
So beautiful!! I could go for some beach right now 🏖️ ❤
Me too lol
I wasn't sure if I'd get off the boat there, this made up my mind that I will.
It is fun to get off and explore.
I always find your posts informative and interesting
Thank you ❤️
Want to know more? Check out our full guide ⛱️ ❤ 🚢
Just booked this for my husband's birthday and I cannot wait!!
That is so exciting! A great birthday celebration. 🎉
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
None celebrity is the best
Celebrity is really good. We are looking forward to sailing with them this year.
so when you sit down and scan the QR menu, do you get the menus from the 10 different stalls or just from the one where you are seated?
You just get the menu for all the stalls. So you can sit anywhere in the galley and order food from anywhere in the galley.
Which cruise line has the separated areas for each gender? You mentioned that you have seen that. I feel like that is going away and I much prefer it. Thank you.
This was great. I must say that the prices for cabanas have increased dramatically since your video. You won’t find a cabana for less than $1,000. The over water cabanas cost at least $2,000.
I'll be sailing on the Enchanted in a couple weeks. Thanks for this video. FYI - O'Malley's and Alfredo's are not complimentary anymore :(
We always arrive one to 3 days before our❤ cruise
We always go 1-2 days ahead
Smart and keeps the stress down. 🚢 ❤️
I have seen too many people panicking because their flight to a cruise is delayed or they've missed a connection. Going a day or 2 early allows for a leisurely start.
Used to be a Guest Relations Purser on RCCL and this tip is simple but VERY valuable- one time we were doing a western Caribbean and a SouthWest connecting flight ;with passengers from as far as UK and other Euro countries) and had a luggage transit fiasco- the passengers made it to the cruise BUT checked luggage did not make it between connecting flights- there two British families with babies and none of their luggage (except carry ons with some baby supplies) - I felt so horrible for them (they were planning their holidays for two and a half years)- myself and two other crew were all over Key West hunting for stuff - we were also hammered onboard tracking luggage for an entire flight !!! It was complete mayhem 😮but tbh- we really tried so hard cuz these holidays are planned and budgeted for- for crap like this to happen- but they were such happy campers- they weren’t letting it ruin their holiday- it was such a pleasure going out of our way for ‘em👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Moral of story get there a day or two before (especially if you have connections)
Wow thank you for sharing. It is a good point that the luggage also needs to arrive. I’m sure the guests really appreciated all you were doing to help.
Great tip
Thank you 🚢 ❤️
