Wish i could go
Well, they havent opened this class yet, so there's still time :) Hopefully, you can make that happen one day.
Going there in October 2024, will certainly check it out. Thanks for sharing. ❤
That's so exciting! We hope you have a fantastic trip. What are you most looking forward to?
Brilliant.🎉
What about this change are you most excited about, Christine? ☺️
Solid review. I agree with the daytime entertainment. I’m not a night owl and I would’ve liked to have more things to do during the day.
Thanks for the feedback! We really tried to give it a super honest and fair review. We're glad you felt the same way. While we did enjoy it, I don't think we would be rushing back to it. What about you? Which line do you prefer?
Sounds like you are too conservative for Virgin.
Not sure what conservative would have to do with it? But it just wasn't our style. They had some great stuff and some other things that weren't for us. A great product that for a night owls for sure.
Royal Caribbean shot themselves in the foot when they dispensed with the 3 tier single dining room layout as on Voyager class ships and went to the 4 separate dining spaces instead on ships such as on Quantum. The 4 separate dining spaces just lost all the atmosphere and specialness that the old single 3 level single dining space had and a lot of regular RCL cruisers just will not go on the bigger ships. Ships that are bigger than Voyager and Explorer such as Quantum area just over sized and tend to lack any character or atmosphere when sailing more than a couple of days.
Very valid point. We actually did not like the quantum class when we sailed it. I think it's my least favorite of them all. I'm very interested to see what they do with this smaller ship and if they can regain some of that magic from the older ships with some modern upgrades.
SE BUSCA restaurant in cozumel mexico charge me a $100 for a steak dinner and $40 for a salad.
🤯 What?!? That's a lot of money for a steak in Mexico! Wow. Was it a bait and switch menu situation?
@@amysturnkeytravel yup.
But I'm going to take your advice on taking pictures of the menus from how on. We are going back October the 14th for 5 days 5 nights.
Wow Super sorry that happened to you. The other option another commenter mentioned is actually KEEPING one of the menus they've given you at the beginning so there's no questions as to when the picture was taken. Food for thought (pun intended)
Depends on layouts and what new ports can be accessed...
That's fair. We're hoping if it's radiance class size, they don't shove 3500 people on it. What ports would you want to see added?
Thanks for the info. Best reminder is that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is! I'd heard of that menu switch scam being common in Egypt, but I guess there are scammers everywhere!
You're so welcome! And unfortunately, you're so right. They are everywhere, so coming together like this helps us get the word out there and let others know how to protect themselves. Thanks for the tip on Egypt by the way ;)
cruises are a bore
Its not for everyone and we get that. Some people like all inclusive, some like road trips, we just prefer cruising. What's your type of vacation?
@@amysturnkeytravel can't afford one. i can be lazy and sit around with booze at home anyway
There are all different price ranges of cruises. They don't have to be expensive. And there's so many options on what to do on a cruise that that being lazy with a drink is only one of them. You can be as active or as relaxed as you want. But we understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.
@@amysturnkeytravel can't afford to take time off work whatsoever.
We're so sorry to hear that. :(
Smaller, faster, more ports, farther away.
Absolutely. Love some of the old world ports that are too small for the larger ships.
I was on ovation last year from Vancouver to Hawaii and loved the ship, however it is not the ship I would consider for Alaska. I want a smaller ship that goes into more ports
Interesting. We did Alaska on Quantum. I can definitely see how a smaller ship would help there. With Juneau trying to limit passengers, this may be a smart move!
Love tne big ships!
Which one is your favorite?
This ship should be sunk at sea and used as as a reef. My parents always sailed on this ship out of Baltimore. Wife hated this ship, especially when there was a suport beam through the room. Pool dancing.
Pole
Yea it is definitely feeling it's age. We loved the itinerary and staff, but that's not enough to compensate for it's state. I'm super excited for the new discovery class of ships though. What are your thoughts?
Where have you been this is old news
So utopia literally sailed their first sailing less than a month ago. Mr. Bayley announced it on there and then confirmed it again later at a travel agent meeting which is when we decided to come forward with it with what we've heard to date. Some people obviously have known, but some are finding it helpful. Have a great day
@@amysturnkeytravel Ignore the trolls. I hadn't heard the RCCL announcements. However, I did know about a fire down the street and when the news reported on it at 5pm I screamed at the TV and told them it was old news.
We appreciate you. We do what we can when we can for everyone hopefully it helps some or at least entertains them. The good news is troll or not, comments help the channel 😉 thanks for your support.
Gives more options. If the price point is right for the size then I’m definitely a fan. Cruise on!
Definitely! That seems to be the major concern, is it going to be priced like Icon or like a radiance class ship? I agree if the price is right we're all in and would love to sail on NEW smaller ships.
I hope he keeps the costs down...I wouldn't want to pay what I'm paying for Icon next month! Especially for a smaller ship.
You're not joking. That's the main thing keeping us off of Icon. We can typically do 2 cruises for the price of 1 on Icon. I hope you have a great time though. And yes I truly hope the prices are reasonable
I HATE large cruise ships. I do not want to go on vacation with a small city of 7 to 8,000 people. A nice 2,600 to 3,000 passenger ship is perfect! I hope Carnival and others follow suite with NEW smaller ships.
Sounds like they heard you. We enjoy the medium to smaller shops as well, so I'm excited to see what discovery brings as long as they don't plan to cram it full with 3500 plus passengers.
I love the Oasis class - I think I'm done trying anything else-although, we already have a Beyond cruise booked for next May. I'm sure the smaller, new ships will go over well with cruisers who prefer smaller ships.
Which is your favorite Oasis ship? Allure is getting amplified soon. We're gonna have a video coming out on all the updates :)
Smaller ship are fine. The problem is not necessarily the size of the ship the problem is with how many cabins and people are packed into those ships. Make a small ship and load it with too many people and what do you have. A smaller ship that’s overloaded with less things to do on that ship compared to the mega ships. By the way I recently sailed on RC Wonder of the Seas. The only time it felt overcrowded was sea days by the pool area. Honestly I don’t know what people want.
This is very true. We sailed on radiance back in January and never felt crowded even though it was sailing at capacity (2400 ish) but we have been on many other ships where they were even at capacity but felt crammed. Hoping the lower cost of a smaller ship allowed them to build more and not try to squeeze 3k plus out of these. That's great to hear that wonder was that way for you! We're excited to see what ports get added to the itineraries with this class of ship.
I miss the size ships like Legend, Vision, Rhapsody of the Seas.
We sailed on vision around Italy. We loved that ship. I do think the radiance class is a nice size as well, so I'm hoping that size with some modern upgrades will really make the discovery class amazing.
I am aware of all these. before COVID the taxi was $4 per car load. Now in these eating joints. I always keep the menu they brought us until we pay out. I also only use CASH. Don't carry credit cards ashore.
Awesome sounds like you're a super savvy traveler. Glad to hear you were prepared for all of these! I love the idea of keeping the menu. Seems like an easy way to avoid that scam or like the other person suggested taking a picture. Thanks for sharing with our viewers!
@@amysturnkeytravel I have been on about 50 cruises. Have done 3-4 Mayan ruins, and Lake Bacalar from Costa Maya.
We were considering doing the lake excursion next. What were your thoughts on it?
Great job choosing the camera and seat setup.
Thank you so much! Steve has been working on learning all of the video creation side of the house. The videos have come a long way, but he still wants to step it up a bit more. We appreciate the feedback 🙂
Great info . Thanks
You're so welcome! Have fun in Costa Maya. We just posted the Chachobben ruins tour video if it's something you're considering doing 😁
Thank you for the positive review. I’ve been nervous about this port due to the majority of reviews I have seen were alarming. I feel a bit more at ease now with our upcoming cruise there in December.
We were very uneasy, but wanted to see it for ourselves. We had a blast and fully intend to return and stay for a few days. Even with a 3 year old we never felt unsafe. Just be smart like you would anywhere else. And Uber whereever you can to save money and reduce the amount of unknown areas you have to walk through
Thanks Amy, very informative. What is the ceiling fan and electric cord going to the nightstand about? Are those things I should consider bringing on our Ganduer of the Seas cruise coming up?
You're welcome. Some rooms run hotter than others. If you tend to sleep warm like Steve does, then this is a great idea. We have a video with the fan and a link to it in Amazon (not an affiliate) in our "Pro tips" playlist. The extension cord lets us run that USB fan to a gang outlet that also allows us to charge our phone and power out daughter's sound machine next to the bed. We also use the magnetic hooks (another pro tip video) to manage the cord and hang the fan. Highly recommend the magnetic hooks as they are AMAZING but watch the magnetic hook video to see why you need to get the right ones. Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy your cruise!
Pay balances and extra food etc in cash
This is a fantastic way to prevent fraudulent charges. I do know that some folks are concerned with carrying wads of cash in foreign countries and having to deal with currency exchange rates. But it is definitely not that big of a deal, and your suggestion if a valid one. Thanks for helping our viewers.
Condolences.🌹♥️
This one...pick up a glass item, more come tumbling down. The owner says a ridiculous price. Finally settled on a price. The item was cheap, and placed to make another fall.
Oh no! 🙄 That's ridiculous. It sucks we even have to have a list of these, but stories like yours show that irs necessary to protect ourselves from scammers.
Hi, the pools and the chairs are for free? Really? 🤩 thanks
Yes! Really. Go enjoy but get there early to get the best spots. 😉
Wow, I lost track of all the negatives 😂 What is your rating?
The ship was in rough shape for sure be we really wanted the itinerary. I would give the ship a 4/10 and the itinerary a 10/10., and the staff 9/10. We see it as a give and take, cruises on the Grandeur are cheaper for a reason.
@@amysturnkeytravel Interesting. I was on the Grandeur a few weeks ago for a 5-night western Caribbean cruise. That is why I called you out on all the negatives. I am not sure where they all came from. Well, I was on after dry dock, so they may have had something to do with it. Anyway, it is an amazing ship and great itinerary. I prefer the smaller ships.
That's great to hear. We've sailed her a few times and usually enjoy it but this time we just happened to notice a lot of negatives. I'm super glad to hear that they may have fixed them after the dry dock. We just try to give honest reviews. When things are great we say they are and when they're not we say that too
Perfectooooo mr. Stephen Nice greeting from IDA in Bali🌺
Ida you're awesome man! We can't wait to meet with you in Bali one day.
@@amysturnkeytravel I'm keep waiting for you.😁
So sorry 😔😔 R.I.P.😢❤
Thank you all! Planning to go soon! The cable car is definitely at the top of my bucket list! Great content guys !
You're so welcome. We're glad you found the video helpful! We hope you have a great time.
Thanks for this information. You've just saved me buying 35lb hooks that would slide down the cabin wall on our upcoming cruise. You've also just saved me from a ton of grief from my wife for getting the wrong hooks. Can't thank you enough!
Glad we could help!
I love Indy - I've done two Transatlantics aboard her. I've had a connecting room door in my stateroom before, and if I can help it, will avoid it in the future. You get a lot more sound through it than through a regular wall, especially if you have loud neighbors (and even normal conversation). Just thought I'd pass that along. Great video!
Thanks for the compliment. Yea we've found it depends a lot on the ship, but that is a common complaint. If both sides doors are closed, it can help but if one side is open, it makes it miserable. Thanks for pointing that out for other viewers.
We just got back from our first cruise and I loved the aesthetic of Nassau. Had some great pizza and spent way too much money on cheap sunglasses. 😀
That so fun. Where'd you get the pizza at, you gotta share so we can try it next time. We're glad you had a great time 😁
@@amysturnkeytravel Honestly no idea. Chaos with the kids. haha
Lol no problem! We get that for sure.
Who is stipid enough to brag about breaking the rules with an account that can be traced back to your actual identity. Also quit smoking and start vaping, that way you can do it on your balcony AND in your room without anyone ever knowing or having to bribe people. Back in 2022 we got permission to be able to smoke inside our stateroom in a royal Caribbean ship, but that’s another story.
It's pretty incredible that people would do that, and then post it publicly, but they do. We will have a part 2 coming out soon with even crazier ridiculousness posted publicly getting them banned. We'd love to hear you special permission story sometime
@@amysturnkeytravel it was pretty basic and rather boring, but on one of the first cruises post covid break out of Australia in October 2022 we caught covid and so many ppl had caught it that we couldn’t be moved to the special covid floor so we thankfully got to stay in our room. And because people couldn’t leave their rooms we were sent a letter from guest services that said we could smoke and vape in our room, but to please keep it to the bathroom and definitely NOT on the balconies. I feel bad for people that had a room after a smoker, but then I also feel for anyone who had a room after someone with covid. Over a quarter of the ship was sick by the time we got off, with far more testing positive afterwards. But as I said this was in the first month of cruising returning in Australia, so that was somewhat expected.
Ah, makes sense. Very unique situation. Thanks for sharing!
How loud could you hear your neighbors through the connecting door?
There are two doors, one on reach side. This makes the door area quieter than the walls which are fairly thin in general. So long story short, not any louder in our experience.
The first time I was there it was a dump, but the last time I was there which was a few months ago it is a beautiful place.
Absolutely, we agree completely. It's a major upgrade to the port. I think if they continue to spend money there, it'll only get better. Especially with the Royal Beach Club coming soon.
Going in Sept when I'm on Wonder of the seas. Not sure how much time we'll have in port as we're doing a mayan ruin that day
That's exciting! August 5th we have a video coming out about the ruins tour! And please watch the 5 scams in Costa Maya video we have up to protect yourself. Have Great trip ruclips.net/video/41Uk9hBhWas/видео.htmlsi=2Mpi47nfDlQ8fM46
Read the fine print with travel insurance…check the travel insurance on your credit card if you’re paying for your cruise with the credit card it maybe better. Cruise insurance does not include cruise disruption.
This is true, it is all dependent on the type of policy you get. Amy helps her clients with finding the right policy to meet their needs and getting them with a reputable company that will stand behind their policy.
@@amysturnkeytravel purchased insurance on a flight from Delta via Allianz and their reps told me that I would have to contact Allianz independently for additional coverage and what I purchased via Delta protects Delta. I found out that the insurance that came with my Amex card that I purchased the ticket with covered my hotel and food voucher when my flight was delayed for over 6 hrs from Punta Cana-trip disruption. I’m a travel agent too and an Allianz partner and didn’t know this info…SMH
👋 Hi fellow TA! Yeah, the insurance thing can be tricky and the one on the CC can help a lot. We also let clients know that in many cases when flights are delayed by 3 or more hours the airlines can provide compensation (food vouchers, hotels, and sometimes return flights or refunds, depending on the airline). Seems a lot of people were unaware of that.
@@amysturnkeytravel some passengers with first class tickets like myself weren’t offered an hotel or food voucher. Some had to wait 2 days from Atlanta to get to their final destination. Delta offered me 20k miles for this debacle. I was so mad.
Woah! That is not okay especially when you paid for 1st class. So sorry you had that experience.
I cant smoke a j on a cruise ship? Fuck it then 🤷🏽♂️
You can't smoke anything outside of the designated smoking area due to major fires that have occured. But because federal law still says they're illegal, the cruiseline's ban them currently. It may change when the law changes though.
@@amysturnkeytravel yeah, thats even more ammo for me to never get on one. 😂
Sorry you feel that way 😞. There's always all-inclusive resorts though 😉
Basically, you can get banned for being STUPID !!
That's a fairly accurate summation of the clip 😂. And some great advice is, if you're gonna be dumb, don't film it and post it on social media.
Refilling bottles - gross!
Right?!? Not surprised they claimed it was a joke now, but it definitely didn't seem like it in the video. I would be so mad if I found out that's what happened to a bottle I drank.
I remember watching the video of the last one about medical marijuana. He was lambasted in the comments. It did not go the way he thought it would. Even the pro marijuana crowd came after him. Telling him was lucky he was not arrested when they got to the foreign port.
I can understand why someone with a prescription thinks it's okay. But, it's still federally a crime and regardless, if the cruiseline forbids something (legal or not) then it is what it is. Obviously, there are plenty of people bringing marijuana on board, but once you get caught, that's on you, not the cruiseline.
Buzz kills
We know there's a lot more that goes on. This is just the unintended consequence of social media. You post things and then this happens. Definitely a buzz kill if you're the one getting kicked off and banned.
The smoking one is due to quite a few major fires in the past caused by smoking
Absolutely, it's considered the biggest hazard on board (fire). People don't realize that all it takes in one improperly disposed of cigarette. I personally like carnival taking a hard line here and even finning people $500 for smoking outside of designate areas, per incident.
988 press 1 for vets.
Thank you for adding that. We love our Vets! 🇺🇸
What a great idea to take a picture of the menu! I never thought I'd have to worry about that, though. Thanks for sharing that.
You're so welcome. We thought it was ingenious as well, when we heard it 🙂
Headed there next year. Thanks for the info.
Woohoo! Enjoy. Hope you have a wonderful time! Don't forget to watch out 5 scams in Costa Maya video to protect yourself when you're there.
This is the best video I have found about Puerto Plata. Most of the rest are just someone reading the marketing information - Ugh!. We are going this summer so these are awesome tips! I'm trying to not pay for international service on my phone so I'll probably print out directions on how to get to Pink Street & Umbrella street from the port. Can you tell me if that map had you walking through Taino Bay or were you on the outside of the property the entire time? Great tip on going early, I think my teens will love taking some pictures in those areas. Can you elaborate on what "early" means? I'd like to go take pictures in town - so maybe spend 30-45 minutes on that & come back to Taino Bay, We dock at DR at 7am but they're going to be hard to wake up at 6am! And last question, my 78 year old mom is going with us & she can't walk very far. I am really excited about her being able to take the tuktuk. Does she sit somewhere to wait for one...or how does that work so that they know she needs a ride? (She will be joining us at Taino Bay after we return from our hike into town.) Again, thank you so much! I really loved the video & will be looking at the others for more useful traveler information.
Hi Mickie, we're so glad you enjoyed it. Early, is as soon as you clear customs. You can always check to see if there will be other ships there as well, as that'll add to the crowds. My recommendation would be go as soon as you dock to beat the ship tours there. That's who is gonna clog the streets because the locals see it everyday and aren't really there. You will walk all the through Taino bay to the taxi exit and then it's almost a straight shot up to umbrella and pink streets. As soon as you come off the gangway, I felt like the tuktuks were sitting there next to the ship waiting and then again at the end of the pier on your way back. Hope you enjoy it and let us know if you have any other questions we can help with. :) thanks for supporting the channel and safe travels.
