Hey cruisers! It's Mark and Rocky sharing our cruise adventures with you! From cruise ship walkthroughs and cruise ship reviews, to port and excursion overviews - we're taking you into this cruise life by providing you with videos, pictures, and background on our favorite hobby: cruising!
The idea for thiscruiselife was born during the pandemic when cruising came to a halt around the globe. Talking about #thiscruiselife allowed us to support the cruise industry during the shut down, while providing an outlet to celebrate all of the things that make this form of vacation travel the best out there!
Whether you're a first-time cruiser, or seasoned on the seas, there's likely something for you here on the channel. And as we grow, we'd love your questions, comments, and, of course, feedback, to make us even better.
You can find us on all socials and at thiscruiselife.com.
You might say we're kind of passionate about this cruising hobby (obsession?) and we love sharing it with you!

2024 Year in Review | This Cruise Life
It would have been hard to imagine all that would be in store for This Cruise Life in 2024 just a year ago at this time. I was on board Carnival Jubilee for her inaugural sailing and we were getting ready to celebrate 3,000 subscribers on RUclips. We only had a handful of cruises booked for 2024 - which eventually would balloon to a whopping 19 sailings for the year!
Without giving everything away from the video, some highlights for the year:
• Attending the naming ceremony for Carnival Firenze
• Sailing on the inaugural cruise of Margaritaville at Sea Islander
• Experiencing MSC’s ship-with-in a ship; Yacht Club
• Meeting leadership teams from multiple cruise lines
• Approaching 10,000 subscri...

Margaritaville at Sea invited us back on board their new flagship cruise ship Islander 6 months post launch. We sailed back-to-back cruises in December of 2024 and are excited to see how the operation has evolved. We also captured changes the cruise line implemented post the inaugural cruise. Similar to when we first sailed Margaritaville at Sea Islander back in June, we take a look at the thin...

What You Need To Know About This Carnival Firenze Balcony Stateroom | Tour and Warning
When I cruised on the brilliance of the seas out of New Orleanswith RCL in December, I could barely get a porter and just carried everything myself.
Hey 👋🏾 Guys ❤ have fun 🤩 I see your lanyards I got mine too right on time for my cruise.
The bliss is breakaway plus. I promise! Epic, Pride of America & Spirit are the ships in their own class. The Breakaway ships are Breakaway & Getaway. The Breakaway Plus ships are Escape, Joy, Bliss & Encore. Me and my husband will be on Getaway the week after you guys! 1/12/25-1/19/25!!! I really love NCL (19 cruises and 5 more booked including this one next week! Sapphire Latitudes. I really hope this week’s experience on Getaway changes your mind on them! Me and my husband’s favorite cruise line is NCL! Happy cruising!!! 🚢🛳️🚢🛳️
Thanks for your opinions fellas, my wife and I are going on this ship in 2 weeks, cruising from HKG to SIN, I think I would have made a formal complaint with regard to some of the things you didn’t like.
There’s a lot to enjoy about the ship, for sure. The allergen piece we wanted to make sure we mentioned in the review so that others that may be in a similar boat (pardon the pun!) know to watch out for it. We saw them replacing carpeting the last day of our sailing, so that gives us hope that they are actively working on some of the maintenance concerns we expressed. Your sailing sounds fantastic; I’ll definitely be curious to hear about your experience. If you think about it, we’d love an update after you sail! Have a great time! -Mark
My first cruise was Carnival Conquest April 2012😊
Bottoms up 🎉🎉🎉 Have fun.
Have a blast 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing
Hey 👋🏾 Mark ❤ Happy cruising 🛳️ I missed the Live yet again. I will have my own sail away next Saturday Panorama 🎉
I hope y’all have a great time!
Oh, my gosh! You aren’t kidding about the Spam emails from NCL! They send, at least once a month, an email saying that I have 6 accounts with them and they are going to combine them into one. First time I received this, called them. Said “well, that’s impossible. Never have registered with six accounts. But thanks.” And they still send that email, every month.
lol- and they’ll just keep on coming I’m sure! Seems like the safety video issue has been resolved as we haven’t received an email in at least 24 hours now. 😂
Missed y’all yesterday, and the new platform looks great!
Thank you for rewatching, Harper, and letting us know how the new platform looks!! -m
That's so annoying! I wished all ports made people stand in a separate line for those that get there early.
@@connieledford1745 same! Annoying, but glad that it was a quick process for us. In all, it took us 30 minutes from the time we got in line to when we boarded the ship.
Oh no 😬
@@BudMilligan8 oh yes. Haha. We eventually made it through, though!
Great video!
@@thewaterfallchaser4796 thank you! Truly an enjoyable sailing!
Just caught replay. Have a great time goys! ❤
@@helenwhitehead6750 thank you! Glad you were able to watch the replay!
Just watched replay. Have a great time! BTW, watching mark on 2x speed is quite entertaining ❤❤❤😂😂😂
@@lindsaymishaw4341 hahaha. He can be quite the chipmunk at those speeds. Watch out! Thanks for the content.
Happy New Year everyone
@@genekostcruiser Happy New Year!
CONGRATS ON THE 10K well deserved you two! I mom so glad to have met you both in 2024!
Awww thank you so much for the shout out 🎉 y’all are the best!!! Can’t wait to cruise again!
@@Controversialcruising thank YOU for the message. We really enjoyed throwing a couple back with you on Islander and look forward to sailing together again in the future!
Great review, BUT. As to your pineapple pizza, this is an Italian Cruise company. And what you may not know is that “pineapple pizza “ is a mortal sin in the Vatican…. 😎👍
We'll be on this ship in two weeks
@@cards06champs awesome! We hope you have an amazing sailing!
So excited to see what 2025 has to bring for you two! Keep up the good work :-)
@@NumberShift thank you! We’re excited to see what’s on the docket, too! Haha. Many journeys planned for the year. Should be interesting, to say the least.
Happy New Year, guys. Have a blessed New Year!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you as well. We hope to see you on the ocean this year!
My husband and I are headed on our second cruise on the Meraviglia next month and we love this review. I especially love seeing myself across the theater from you gents at Trivia! We were on the same ship on the same cruise you reviewed here. I absolutely concur with everything you have to say the good the bad and the ugly. Well done!
Aww. We wish we were joining you again on Meraviglia. We had so much fun, and Gavin's morning Trivia sessions were fantastic! We hope you have an equally amazing time onboard. Thank you for the kind words, we always try to lead with the positive and hope that our message resonates with our viewers. -Rocky
@@thiscruiselife Thank you! I love your positive outlook on things and you strike a lovely balance of pushing kindness and love forward but keeping it real. Not always easy to do in this format. Well done.
if anyone sees this, i recommend the barefoot cookout excursion in cozumel!
Interesting! We hadn't looked into that option, but will keep an eye out for future calls on Cozumel. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you for showing the bed in the ceiling. We’re going with our 5 year old twins in July 2025 but it was hard to get a visual.
You're welcome! Glad we could provide that visualization for you. Hope you have an amazing sailing!
Great review! The internet makes me crazy on the other newer ships. 😂😂 Thinking of the 7 days to southern Caribbean. 🤔😅 We loved the Viva and Prima but the itinerary is not what we are looking for.
Thank you for watching and for the kind feedback! We’re jumping on Prima in February, so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Any tips/tricks you’d like to share? :) :) It’s hard when you like the ship but the itinerary is not ideal. We find that quite often! But we always end up having a great time. Haha -mark
@ We really enjoyed Palomar Restaurant! Go there! 😄
@@jojogian2428 we will add that to our reservation list. Thanks!
Hi, where is this cenote located? We are going to Merida in February and want to take a private vehicle there. Thanks.
It was about a 75 minute drive from the port of Progreso. Passed through Merida, and continued along to just before Homun. Cenote Santa Rosa
@thiscruiselife Thank you very much. I was on the Firenze inaugural cruise and saw you there. I've been following you since then. You are awesome.
@@gmanzo2147 We're so glad that you're still part of the journey! Thank you for being here and we hope you have an amazing trip to Progreso/Merida!
Great review, sailed the Encore on the reposition this year in May. Accurate review for the most part. Thought the cabin service was ok. Loved the observation deck, afternoon snacks and pizza were excellent!
Hey there! Thanks so much for watching and the comment. I’m excited to jump on Getaway (baby sister) of Encore in just 4 days. Will be fun to compare the original Breakaway-class compared to Breakaway-Plus Encore. :) I definitely already am missing the Observation Lounge!! -mark
Congratulations on all you successes this year, May the New Year bring you many more first, new adventures, peace and love. Maybe some day we will get a chance to cruise together. Cheers to 2025🎉🥂
Thank you so much, Johanna! And thank you for being here for all of it. So glad to have you part of our growing cruise community. It's a small world out there, so I'm certain our ships will cross at some point. :) Happy New Year to you and yours. May the year ahead be filled with smooth sailing. <3 Thanks, again, for your kind words! -Mark
Thank you Mark❤ I still say you guys need to join us in May! 😂 We missed you by a week for our wedding... 1st anniversary this time any fun with Joey lol
It was great meeting you guys while vacationing on the Sea Islander. I would have to agree with you on your review…..excellent cruise. My best impression of this cruise line is their excellent staff. They are very professional and personable. I hope to see you guys on another cruise in the future.
Glad we got to meet you, too! And thank you for watching the video - I honestly hope it brought you back a little to the fun on board. Glad that you had an excellent cruise as well - and that the staff created such an amazing impression. Same here! It's a small cruise world out there... I'm guessing our ships will cross again. We're doing a group cruise in September if you want to come with! :) Happy New Year! -Mark
So nice meeting you all the week of Dec 17th! You all missed the fight when the girl got on the ship ready to fight in Progreso! Can’t stop singing “happy birthday” now! Great points- especially regarding the gym!
Hey!!! So nice meeting you, too! Thank you for watching the video. I hope it helped relive some of the awesome memories of our trip. Such a great cruise with so much to love. I've seen several posts in the Facebook group about the comedian recently and how people left the theater when he started singing happy birthday over and over and over again. Just made me laugh all over again! LOL ;) Look forward to making many more memories on the ocean this coming year. Glad to have you join us over here in our little growing cruise community! Happy New Year! -Mark
You guys are at 10k now!
We are! We made it! So excited and looking forward to the 2025 cruise season!
You guys rock!
@@sgreagor thank you so much! So glad that you found us. 💙
Excellent Yeager you two here’s to 2025🍸🍸🍸🛳🛳🛳🛳🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! We're so glad to have you as part of our journey! 💙
congratulations! just off Panama Canal cruise and back on in January.
Oh how awesome! Hope you had an amazing Panama Canal sailing, and that your upcoming sailing is just as great!
@@thiscruiselife Yea, but need to slow down. 3 in 6 months is not sustainable. Couldn't resist super cheap Caribean, need more self-control😂😂😂
@ sounds similar to our schedule! It’s definitely a lot to manage but it just means that you’re going out and living your best life!
Thanks for the mention! I cheer for you guys! You both are positive, informative, genuine and a lot of fun! 257 and 10K just go well together! Can’t wait for 2025, Happy New Year!
It's an odd pairing, but it does work! We're so glad that we had the opportunity to meet you, and are excited for our upcoming sailings together in 2025! Thank you for all of the support. 💙
Congrats, guys!! You're truly so much fun to watch, and your vlogs are the best. Cheers to an amazing 2025 🎉 #25kin2025 - I am speaking that into existence for you!
Thank you so much! We're excited to see what the future holds for This Cruise Life and are glad to have you along for the journey! 💙
Yayyy awww thanks for the shout out! Love you guys I’ll continue to spread the word on this cruise life on all my future cruises!!!
We love it! Thank you so much for being such an awesome supporter of the channel, and us. We're so glad that we've had the opportunity to sail with you (multiple times) and look forward to our paths crossing again in the future! 💙
Congrats on the 10K. It was nice to meet you, Mark. Next time I hope to see Rocky also. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much! It would be great to meet you! Come join us for our group cruise! 😜
You both are truly amazing people. We loved sailing with you guys on NCL Sky. Erin and I miss you so much! I'll have to see about that group cruise in September! I will get in contact with Rocky if I get the green light! Congratulations on 10k followers!!!! This channel is on its way to so many more with the fun, informative, and quality content you continue to post. Happy New Year to you both! I hope to see you soon!
Brett- You *FILLED* our hearts with this comment. Thank you so much for the kind words and friendship. While we had some ups and downs on NCL Sky, meeting you and Erin was certainly a highlight. I've just now started to reintroduce lemon drops into my diet... ;) We miss you guys and are still hoping we'll get to sail with you in the new year. Or if you come to Phoenix, you know you're always welcome. Thank you for the congrats and celebrating 10k with us. Here's to the adventures ahead in 2025! Hope you had an amazing holiday and Happy New Year!!! -Mark (and Rocky)
Gentlemen, your personalities and kindness are what make your channel so successful. I was so happy to be on the Firenze with you in May. I just booked the Firenze for May 25th today as I debarked the Carnival Radiance! Happy cruising!
We love your cruising life! It was great getting to meet you on the Firenze and hope she's just as great 1 year later when you get onboard in May! Thank you for all of the positive comments, it really makes us feel like we're making a difference, even if it's small!
Have a happy and safe New Year!! And thank you for sharing your love for cruising with us, people who love cruising too!🥳🍾🍾
Happy New Year to you, as well! We're happy to have you as part of our journey. Thank you for watching and being part of the community!
Oh no, I missed it! Congrats!!!!
You didn't miss anything! We recorded our excitement for you to be able to enjoy! Thank you for being part of our journey. 💙
Congrats !!! I was hoping this would happen for you both before the new year. Tracy & Scott :)
@@josh1997a aww thank you so much, you both! 🥰💙
I was just there.
@@ShanellBassham-b1h hopefully you had an equally great time!
CONGRATULATIONS!!🎉🎉❤
@@helenwhitehead6750 thank you!
Sorry missed your show in Vegas for New years eve at A Duran Duran concert. May the next 50000 subscribers come fast.
It's a good reason to miss an impromptu live broadcast! Hope the concert was amazing! 50000 is quite a big stretch, but here's to hoping! 🥂
Love your videos and so happy to see an update from your recent cruise. Makes me even more excited for our cruise over New Year’s! 🎉
Oh how fun! Hope you have an amazing time on the Islander over the holiday.
Awh yay!! Much deserved guys! 🥂🎉
Awww Thank you! 🥰
