TRYING to Make Disney Parks Style Candy Apples Apples From Home
Hi we’re driving from Halifax Nova Scotia to visit Six Flags New England this Aug 10 (Saturday) how’s the crowd during this time of the year? Thank you
That's awesome! Saturdays in July and August are definitely very busy. I have found that "rope dropping" (arriving just before the park is scheduled to open) will allow you to get in at least one or two of the most popular rides before it gets too crazy. I will also say that usually the Hurricane Harbor (water park) area is the most crowded so that's where you'll really see long lines consistently through out the day. The lines on the "dry" side of the park are typically much more reasonable until Hurricane Harbor closes at around 6pm. After 6, some Hurricane harbor folks will leave but many will stay for the last few hours and lines on the dry side will stay pretty long. For the dry side, the Super Man roller coaster usually has the longest line by far so getting that done early is a good idea if you want to do it. Hope you have a great time!
I love this park it’s my home park😁
I so appreciate these. I leave on this cruise in 6 days!
Thank you so much for posting about this trip! We’re going soon with two teenagers. I hope there’s something for them to do!
Bermuda was great, but that is a terrible cruise line
Welcome Norwegian Gem 🛳️to the beautiful island 🏝️ in Bermuda 🇧🇲
We're cruising the Gem in August. We are also local residents and excited that we don't have to fly anywhere to catch out boat. That's for all the info.
Just got off this morning do yourself a favor and change it to some other cruise line
@@larssandvik1347 why do you say thst?
@@laurieritchie6791 I’ve been been on more than 3500 days of cruises and I’ve never been on a worse cruise line than Norwegian
@larssandvik1347 but why are they bad. Explain yourself please. I am Also a veteran cruiser.
@@laurieritchie6791 well I will tell you number one was the customers that it attracts. I actually was a witness and had to sign a criminal complaint against some 17-year-old that was drunk and trying to pick up 11 year-old girls. Running up and down my hallway, screaming secondly, the cabins on this ship are in terrible condition I had trouble in one neighborhood with children running up and down the hallway nonstop, so I complained and complained and complained, and they finally originally said there was no cabins, but after complaining about it for two days, finally mistakenly found another one I moved there and that’s where the above criminal thing happened. The food was lousy. The drinks were of the cheapest caliber just all around poor management. Honestly, there’s so much better cruising out there. I don’t know what a veteran cruiser means I literally have close to 4000 days 1800 days on Celebrity and more than 2000 on royal Caribbean alone let alone a few hundred on Cunard and Holland America. I stopped, cruising on Royal Caribbean, except for my free cruises they still owed me due to the out-of-control children, and just general very low class. after corona everything has changed hopefully you have better luck, but I doubt it
This is the first time I've seen someone vlog the museum. Everyone else goes to the beach or does a tour. Along with shopping or drinking at the marina. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful and informative.
Love your videos of your cruise! Can’t wait for more!!
Back off of your face. No need to see face pores.
You are lovely. Thank you for a wonderful video.
Rude
Wish you could have showed the line signs for a long enough time to read them like that wheelchair sign right as you walked into the terminal. Like Haven/Suites, CAS, Priority Access. So many reps on the phone say oh the signs are at every port and I rarely see anything other than the Haven guest line signs.
I'll try to include more of the different line signs next time!
Do they have a separate security and check in line for Suites and Haven?
Yes
@@IlluminatingDestinations Thanks
Did you have to pay to tour the house? We are going in August and I’m trying to plan 😊
We just paid the one fee at the main entrance and that covered everything - including the Commander's house.
Thank you!
Excellent .. thank you. You mention the muster drill but I am still unsure how it works. Please explain in more detail. Steve
On some cruise ships they will actually have you physically walk to your muster station - in our case the Magenta Dining Room - when the alarm sounds. However for our cruise, they just told us to check in at our muster station at some point on the first day and as long as we did that, when the alarm sounded, we could just stay where we were rather than walk over there.
On NCL you will be given links to watch a safety video after you do your online checkin. When you board the ship you will be instructed to go to your muster station. On our last cruise they had someone there as soon a we boarded who scanned us in
@@IlluminatingDestinationsno more physical muster
Id like to see more of the ship and less of you eating...sailing in February
What are you wearing?
Thank you for posting this. I will be there very soon.
Great video I leave on the Gem 6/28 Post more :)
So do I
When ate after boarding, did you have to pay for your food? Assuming you hadn't left port yet.
Nope! All of the food at the complimentary restaurants is free, even right after you get on. The only thing we did have to pay for was tax on any drinks. For example, we had the soda package so if we had already left, we would not have paid anything, but because we were still in Boston, we had to pay $0.50 for tax.
Love the video! When did you go? Trying to determine how to pack. We are going end of June! Ty
We went the second week in April - and even then, the Bermudians were saying our 60 degree weather was unseasonably cold. In June, you should have nice warm weather!
@@IlluminatingDestinations Was that the April 5th or the next week? I was on the April 5th and it was COLD then too!
@@lorinorth3699 Yup, Apr 5th!
@@IlluminatingDestinations Awesome... Now I will have to watch the background for my husband and myself.
hey ill be taking the gem on the 10th, just wanted to ask if the wifi package is worth buying?
We did not end up using our full 150 minutes of free WiFi but whenever you do turn it on, you burn through it pretty quickly. I'd say, if you're ok not being online, you'll be fine but if you need it to do work or want to do social media posts or send emails every day, it might be worth it for you. We were able to use our international phone package to use the internet with cellular when we were docked so we only used the WiFi on the At Sea days, and sparingly at that.
Your thoughts of the ship
We are sailing the Gem May 10th so this was helpful! I've only been on Carnival cruises. Did you do anything on Bermuda or Maine? Some people were questioning if people got off the ship in Maine at all.
Thank you! My videos about what we did in Bermuda will be coming soon - there's a lot of great stuff to do both through NCL and on your own. I haven't done a cruise to Maine yet so I can't speak to how many people usually get off but I know visiting Acadia National Park is usually a popular thing to do there and many cruises include an option to visit there as part of the excursions they offer. Hope you enjoy the cruise!
@@IlluminatingDestinations I’ve been to Arcadia a few times. I grew up in Maine lol! Did you ever have the opportunity to do the dining in the dining room that’s free? I know you said there was a wait. I just went a carnival cruise with my daughter and granddaughter last November. Have you ever been on other cruises besides NCL? Just wondering your overall thought.
Thank you for sharing. On my way very, very soon.
On my way very soon.
Sailing on the Gem May 10 - your video was so helpful! Many Thanks!
Thank you for these videos, I’m going on this cruise in 2 weeks!
I am going on the Gem out of Boston to Bermuda and Bar Harbor the end of May 2024. Looking forward to more content.
I'm on that sailing too! 😊
Me as well
see you all onboard
we leave 31st.
@@judyleaber2356 See you onboard!!
We are all waiting for more videos from this trip :) I hope you can post more. We will be doing this trip in June from Boston.
Taking the June7th cruise!
Me too!! It'll be my first cruise. I can't wait! Trying to research up and get a feel for things now. Going with my sister and brother in law. They've been on countless cruises so I decided I'd join in on one since they seem to love it so much.
We did this itinerary in early May 2017, but it was on the NCL Dawn. Great video!
love this video
i thought it was a 4 or 5 out of 10. My youngest as asking to go home after 30 min
Congratulations on your run! Enjoy your trips. We look forward to your reviews! When is next Disney run?
I'm not sure when my next RunDisney event will be but the next live event is in April!
Hi, great video!
I was the masked zombie by the helicopter lol Make sure to come back next year! :)
Awesome! I definitely will - it was a great event!!
Hi🎉
It's not fair that Canada doesn't have it. It's not fair that i even live here in Canada. I want to shop at my favorite store it was a sad day for me that my location Disney store closed down. I hate living in Canada . What a bad country I live in
Cannot wait to go back to London!! ❤🇬🇧
I loved it so much! Probably going to see it again when it comes back to the area in the Spring to Providence.
Got bored after let it go
lol I was the clown in the spinny tunnel!
Awesome! Thank you for making our visit to screeemfest truly horrifying - in the best way possible!
