Hanging Out With Mike
США
Добавлен 7 сен 2019
My name is Mike and I retired from Fort Bragg after being stationed there for 20 years. I created this channel to show people who are moving to Fort Liberty and/ or Fayetteville what this place and the surrounding areas have to offer. However, this channel has now turned into a VLOG about my travel and sightseeing as I make my move to Orlando, Florida. I will still have different theme park content because I always love visiting a theme park, and of course I will take you along on my cruises, but now my goal is to introduce the great state of Florida to you and maybe I can show you some great places to visit on vacation. I feel fortunate to live where other people vacation.

I haven't been to SeaWorld in long long time what's the price of getting in for two people
THE COAST GUARD COMMENT WAS RUDE. SHAME ON YOU!!! THOSE MEN AND WOMEN PROTECT OUR WATERS!!!!
It was a joke. All services give each other crap, it's a rivalry thing. But we all know that Army is the best!
Omg! The fast forward thriller was hysterical 😂😂😂
It is funnier speed up. I had to do it though because RUclips kept giving me copyright notice on the Thriller music.
Hope you had a great birthday cruise !
Thanks. It was a lot of fun. There is never a bad cruise!
Embarkation Day is the best day!
YES!!! I love Embarkation Day. It's always exciting to see a new ship.
I watch your cruise videos with my family all the time and we’re so excited to see that you’re on the Celebration right now! We’ll be on it for the first time in August and we can’t wait! Hope you enjoyed your birthday cruise 😊
It was a great cruise for my birthday! I hope you have an amazing time on the Celebration in August! And Thanks for watching!
I have never been on a cruise before my goal is to go on a cruise to the Bahamas for my 40th birthday❤
That's exciting and a great time to start cruising. My first cruise wasn't till I was 41 and I can't believe I waited so long.
We want to try this ship also can you let me know if it's just like the Mardi Gras
The layout is the same as the Mardi Gras but I prefer the theming on the Mardi Gras and I liked the Mardi Gras parade/ show better. The entertainment is a wash. Celestial Strings is on both ships. Family Feud and Love and Marriage are the same. I think Jacky Tang is a better Cruise Director, more energetic and wittier. I did like the Magnificent Circus show better than the Las Vegas one on Mardi Gras, but once again, kind of a wash. I felt like Mardi Gras was more energetic, fun, up beat cruise. This one was good, but it was more laid back. But I could also be biased because I had a dang cough the whole time and just felt run down so I didn't go to any of the late night parties. Given the choice, though, I would go on the Mardi Gras over the Celebration again. Plus I prefer Port Canaveral.
I have been on 15 cruises, most on Royal, but my little 5 day on Reflection was the best ever. Your review was way off..... Luigi De La Cruise was an amazing cruise director who was all over the ship. Saw him everywhere and he made the cruise a nonstop party. On the food, the buffet was the best I have ever seen, the main dining was way better than Royal or Carnival, and the specialty restaurant Tuscany Grill was amazing. Only thing I agreed on, was the cabins could have been updated. They updated the ship last year, but did nothing to the cabins.
I will have to watch my review again. I thought I gave a positive review. I still tell people Celebration was the best OVERALL cruise I've been on. Other lines might have better ships or a party atmosphere, but Celebration service, entertainment, and food was great and Luigi did keep the party going. I thought I mentioned that the parties lasted for hours, versus the 30 minutes the other cruise lines do.
That Ocean Cay map looks like a BWC lol
BWC? What is that?
Going on the Elation in September with my family. Grandparents, parents, sisters, niece, and nephew are all going. Looks like a fun time to me.
Elation was a party for me. The fun squad was one of the best I ever had. The only downside is with it being a smaller ship, it did feel "small" by day 5 and I was ready to get off.
We were on that ship a week later
It's an awesome ship. I love the 10 story slide! And the more I drank, the more fun it was.
Great vlog ! We love animal kingdom 😊
I think Animal Kingdom is really under rated. I just wished it stayed open later so you could enjoy Pandora at night.
I love Animal Kingdom all the animals they have there are nice good to see you all again we will be in Orlando the 22nd of February for 2 weeks
Are you going to the Parks during your visit? Or just coming to Florida to relax?
@HangingOutWithMike we usually only go to Disney Springs we will be camping in Claremont right near Orlando for 2 weeks
Excellent tip on the ocean view! I’ll be in 2216 so I’ll have to look where that is
Im enjoying your walk thru. I'm going on the Glory this Sept so ive been looking up videos because this is my first time on Glory. I was just a tad concerned about your safety. All the staff in the video wearing life vests. Even one girl running with her life vest lol. Thank you for taking time to shoot this video
Hahahah. I picked the wrong day to do the video. We were in port at Nassau and the ship was doing the crew drill for abandon ship.
When I lived in Florida as a young girl my mother and I would canoe with the manatees. Was such a beautiful memory. That was my start of loving manatees. ❤ check out tarpon springs or wiki watchee
Those are on the coast. I haven't explored that far out yet but will put them on my list! Thanks.
Go Montana state! Maybe they were filming a hallmark movie lol
Dude. You are embarrassing yourself 😞
What part? Pretty sure I embarrass myself at least once in each video.
Me and the wife go on this ship in June for our first cruise
Have a great time! It is a fun ship. I recommend the adult scavenger hunt if they are still doing it. It was definitely a highlight but I'm a prude so I was probably blushing the whole time.
I think it’s a really unfair review of Bimini because you literally only showed the tourist spots. It has many other things to offer and explore . That is one side of Bimini , there is a whole other side with lots of native stuff ti explore , more free beaches, so many sites and shopping . You literally missed out on the whole island . Unfair review for the public. It’s also called Bi- mini!!!
You are right. I did go back on another cruise and rent a golf cart to explore the rest of the island. Here is my updated video of Bimini if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/MeRamo2aRAw/видео.html
@ good stuff 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Ok I will check it !
Great to see you in Rose and join yourself with the Christmas lights
That's Rose's hometown so she loves to go back there for the lights.
@@HangingOutWithMike we have been there once we was walking around we never got to the Fort though
We live in Sanford and so did this a week ago and it was awesome. The count the day we went was only 303 and it was still too cool!
303 is still quite a bit. It is a pretty cool place that I didn't know existed till Rose took me there.
My last cruise was the Allure in 2011. My next cruise will be the Oasis this July can't wait. Then hopefully try out the other newer ships. The Wonder of the seas and Star of the seas
I prefer Allures boardwalk, but the giant slide is fun on Oasis. I want to try the Wonder or Star as well, but they are just so expensive right now. I cruise on a budget.
@HangingOutWithMike From the videos that I have been seeing, is the boardwalk on Oasis the same as the Allure?
Oasis has been "Amped" so it has the giant slide and they took out the Tequila bar and the outdoor tequila bar. A sports bar replaced the Tequila bar and the slide ends where the outside tequila bar used to be. The little arcade that was on the boardwalk on Allure is gone and that is now part of the sports bar as well. And, if I remember correctly, the donut place is gone too on the "Amped" ships.
Somehow Rose looks like she would BE the headache. Not HAVE the headache. Hey, I'm just sayin'
That’s awesome you got recognized!!! Love your videos!! 🎉
Thanks! I was surprised but it was cool.
That's a 1A non-standard room with a twin and sofa bed. It is not considered ocean view, it falls actually under the inside categories, all porthole rooms are considered inside and not until you get to the 4 foot windows are the officially classified as an ocean view room
I didn't realize that. I thought the port hole rooms were Ocean view. Thank you for the clarification.
I sailed on her back on the 3rd of November 2024 . Great ship.
I liked the ship, but I didn't like having to go to the center stage shows 30 minutes to an hour early to try and get a decent seat. Or lining up for the comedy club. I feel this ship was crowded despite how big it is.
Currently ON this cruise with you!!!!!! We've had a great time so far! Let me know if you and your wife would like to meet my husband and I!
I'm sorry, I am just now seeing this. I would have loved to meet up. Maybe our paths will cross again on a future cruise.
How do you find out about the RC bracelets?
They had a table set up on the first day where they were selling them. But to be honest, I would not purchase them. The bracelets didn't work to open the room and you still had to give it to the bartenders to order drinks, so I ended up using my sign and sail card anyways.
Looks like fun.
It was a good cruise, but I prefer Carnival's "vibe".
We wish we were on one right now
I agree. There is never a bad day on a cruise.
I'm liking the smaller boats more and more. Went on the Imagination twice, before it was retired, for my second only cruise in my life. Didn't realize how much actual open walking space it had on deck 9 that the bigger ships I later sailed on. Just got back from sailing on the Horizon and I didn't really enjoy it. Cramped walking spaces and no bar in the casino, and too many people. And the elevators sucked! Going to book the Elation for this fall. Looking forward to it!
The elation was a fun ship. I think on the smaller ships, the crew gets to know you more. However, I think 5 days on the smaller ships is too long though.
Bar of the FUTURE!
Great vlog 👍. Love the fast forward parts 😅
Thanks, I was trying to show the island but didn't think people would want to watch 20 minutes of me driving in a golf cart.
I like watching your vlogs!!
Awesome!
You can make dinner reservations in the app starting 45 days before the cruise.
I wish I would have known that before hand. This was my first Virgin cruise so I was learning as I went. I think if I go again, it will definitely be a better experience.
Good morning at least it's nice there is freezing cold here in Covington Georgia we have three inches of snow on the ground
The highlight of scarlet night is the party on the pool deck
I heard it was a good time. Unfortunately, I didn't make it. Besides getting drunk in Key West, I'm usually in bed by 10 and I didn't realize Virgin's parties/ events are all late night. I will openly admit I didn't do as much research about Virgin Cruises as I should have.
If your cabin partner is unable to make it last minute (like the day of) do you forfeit your entire cruise? Meaning you can’t board the ship now being solo?
No. It is my understanding that you can still go, but you'll only get a refund on the cabin partner's port fees, prepaid tips, and anything else they purchases (excursions, drink package, etc.) If the cabin was booked with a special deal under the person who didn't show up, such as free casino offer room, then Carnival will charge for the room.
I leave in 3 days for my first msc trip. Cant wait
Enjoy it! Have you cruised before? I think MSC has improved a lot in the last year.
We drove halfway to Key West but then turned around but one day we will be back
Key West was a lot of fun, that which I can remember. I would like to go visit one day and take my time seeing the sights.
I’m on the Oasis of the seas in 24 days! I love this video. Thanks for getting me even more excited 🎉
That's Awesome! Oasis was a great ship and Fort Lauderdale was such an easy port to get around. Have a great time, wish I was there with you!
I wasn’t expecting to hear Ommegang brewery on a cruise ship lol. I actually live about an hour away from the brewery. They’ve got some good stuff.
Yes, the beer was pretty good. It became my go to the rest of the cruise.
Thanks for sharing. I just found your videos as I was looking up stuff on the Venezia. I’ll be on her in April. I love how you watched for pier runners! I’m an avid watcher of cruise vlogs and I have not seen another creature do that and film it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I ALWAYS watch for pier runners, but most times there is nothing to see. Thanks for watching!
Great vlog! The crowd on virgin looks like it's changed considering their target crowd is millennials. 😊
I don't know. It definitely wasn't what I pictured. The no kids running around was nice, but I think Carnival has the better atmosphere and crowds.
❤👏🏾👏🏾💯😁 Tyfs!!
You are welcome!
Awesome TYFS❤😁💯👏🏾👏🏾 Very Helpful!
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.
