A lot of the video was recorded on a GoPro and has a wide landscape aspect ratio of 16:9. You are probably referring to parts that were recorded on an iPhone in vertical mode which is 9:16 resulting in the left and right side being black. Some people use side blurring techniques to make the vertical mode look more like landscape mode. Thank you for watching!

@@scotthodgin7494 Thanks for the detailed reply. I strongly suggest that in future you only shoot in horizontal mode. Side blurred shots are similarly a waste. I just skip over the vertical shots until I get tired of it, then go to another vlog.

Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. I hope your trip is everything you want it to be.

It really is!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

I tried giving you the link earlier, but RUclips wouldn’t let me. I bought it off of Amazon. It’s called, SEEU sling bag backpack.

Thanks for watching and for your comment!

In watching the video again, it was the blue print bag you wore for the biking excursion.

@@vcorcoranXXXXif it’s the bag at timestamp 28:40, then that is the SEEU sling bag. If that’s not the one, can you tell me the video timestamp where it is showing.

At the time we went, we encountered zero problems.

I used a GoPro Hero 7 and my iPhone. I hope y’all enjoy your cruise! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching! I’m afraid I don’t have an opinion about which side of the ship is the best. There are definitely sights to see on both sides and the ship is small enough so it’s easy to walk around. Since our cabin was below the waterline, we didn’t spend very much time in our room.

Here’s hoping your upcoming trip is everything you want it to be.

Here’s hoping you enjoy your future travels!

Thank you for taking time to watch!

We certainly enjoyed our cruise on the Encore. Thank you for watching.

Wow 😮 - that would have been very disappointing! All of the ocean cruises that I have been on at least had pizza and deli sandwiches available 24 hours! I’ve mostly sailed Norwegian and Carnival.

It was! 😁

No, we opted for a scenic bus ride into Canada. The scenery really is breathtaking!

Yes! We enjoyed walking the promenade deck also!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for subbing - the ship was in really great shape and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. I’m hoping our next cruise will be sailing out of Boston up through New England and Canada area probably in 2025. Thank you for watching!

I hope your trip is everything you want it to be!

Thank you for those kind comments. I hope y’all have a great trip as well!

If you want to go on an auxiliary excursion, other than they included one at each port, you might have to sign up for that, but we only went on the included excursions there at our trip

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! We did a lot of walking, so not too much weight gain 😊

Yep, that bacon was insanely good! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.

We did not have any flight cancellations. Masks were optional. And you had to be fully vaccinated but there was nothing about boosters at that time. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for replying. We're super excited.

@@sheilalauffer9004 hopefully your trip will be everything you want it to be! :)

Thank you for those extremely kind comments! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Here’s hoping your trip next April is everything you want it to be!

Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great cruise!

Thanks. Here’s hoping you have an amazing time. We did 😁

Christopher - you should be back from your trip and I was wondering how it went.

@@scotthodgin7494 Thank you for asking! We got as far as Newark Airport, and my wife began feeling sick, over the course of the layover she developed more symptoms and we decided the responsible thing to do would be to turn around. Flew back to Pittsburgh, got her home, and she was positive for Covid. It was a tough call, but we could not risk the health of the other travelers on the plane and ship. Thank you so much for asking. We are hoping to get there this spring.

​@@christophertriola5807 oh no!!!!!! I'm so sorry to hear that! Hopefully your wife is on the mend! It's definitely disappointing when you do all of that planning and get so close to the finish line, only to be dealt a setback. :( My wife and I had a similar experience just this week (although not health related). We were supposed to be traveling for an Alaska cruise out of Vancouver, but our flight from Dallas had problems. We were supposed to fly out a day before our cruise, but that flight was cancelled due to severe weather, so I quickly booked another flight out for the next morning, but that flight was delayed so much due to the same weather problems, that I figured we would never make the embarkation cutoff of 3pm, what with getting off the plane in Vancouver, going through customs, gathering luggage and getting a taxi to the cruise port. So, we got off that plane in Dallas and worked on getting a flight back home. Since our cruise left from Vancouver, there was no way to 'skip' that port of embarkation due to the Passenger Carrier Act, so we would not have been able to meet the ship at a future port. We hope to get to Alaska sometime in the future, but that will depend on whether the travel insurance reimburses us or not. Thanks for replying. I wish you and your wife the best for future travels. If you do get to go on a Rhine cruise, I love to know how it turned out for you! Take care!

@@scotthodgin7494 thank you!!
