@@yohevianpolanco4539 Any cruise is a great vacation, but definitely look into those onboard excursions. Bring a book as well. We also bring card games like Uno and Monopoly Deal. Chilling by the pool is always a plus. If you go to the casino, that’s also a great place to hang. Sometimes they screen current movies. I think having an open mind and not going in thinking there will be TONS to do will help curb some of the boredom.

@@YourFavoriteCouple We listen to the experts over here 😂. Now, unfortunately that has us doing activities that we wouldn’t normally. Caves were definitely super cool! If you ever do a Bermuda cruise, that and Fun Golf would be our recommendations for excursions.

@@rjsmom168 We did not! It was an issue among other passengers, so we just assumed it was because it was an older ship. It wasn’t unbearable and not in common spaces, just the room. We opted to keep the bathroom door closed for the most part.

If you look at it in the light from a certain angle it is 😂. $18 for the chairs, $15 for the umbrella. Looking back the price wasn’t horrible, but per usual we were being cheap.

@ATravelingBlackCouple hey, we understand prioritizing your coins. Nothing wrong with that lol

@@TravelCakeTrips Thank you guys! We really appreciate it. Bermuda was an amazing trip. We got used to the bus system after several fails 😂. Luckily we did easily find the station up Queen Street.

Yes! Play Airlines is an affordable way to get to Europe. The same flights on different airlines were like $1200 per person.

They didn’t weigh our personal items. I think they care more about bag dimensions, but even then we were never stopped. I would try to get a bag close to the proper dimensions and not one that looks overly large. But, remember it’s supposed to fit under your seat, so keep that in mind too. The overhead bins were full, so we couldn’t even try to put our bags up there. Luckily I have short legs, so I wasn’t too uncomfortable.

@ Thank you

@@CaitlinSchmidt-g1s Thank you so much! Traveling is our happy place ☺️

@@YourFavoriteCouple Merry Christmas Fam! 😂 travel woes are always an adventure. The Chews have great videos that help us save money. Those bus drivers had us fighting for our lives the way they were driving. Eryck is a clown and always says we’ll have to go fishing because I don’t eat seafood. The caves were really cool! Just LOTS of steps to climb back up. We stopped at an ice cream parlor nearby, so that helped.

@@cameronarrowood6074 Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you for watching! Stay tuned to see how the rest of our trip turned out.

Thanks for watching, and the feedback. We’ll keep it in mind for future videos!

@@taiyenwaibe4192 I’m so happy you guys enjoyed it! Where did you guys sail to?

Great tip! Will definitely check those out in the future. Thank you!

@@kaylawhitt16 Thank you so much! We are trying to expand our cruise travel as well! We loved virgin and would love to go back. We took other trips on Royal this summer and of course there were even more kids because of summer. On one of our sailings it didn’t bother us, but on the other one they were definitely running around.

@@OutsideCeeNRee Thank you so much 😊!

@@purelle626 Thank you so much!

@@philault2854 Thank you so much! Any cruise is a great vacation, so we know you’ll have a good time. Enjoy!

😂we’re still not over it lol. And thank you guys!

😒 I’m sure it does

@@TeamReeseTravels Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! We had a lot of fun at these ports. Just beware of the LONG days because many of them are far.

@@shy_sorai Thank you so much for watching! We love to do excursions at each port to explore the places we visit. Helps us decide to travel there directly in the future. Definitely give it a try if you go on a cruise!

Snobs is a new one lol. Thanks for watching! As we mentioned, we enjoyed serenade when we went last year. It all depends on who you go with and if the people around you are enjoyable. Everyone has a different opinion, and we’re just sharing ours in this video.

@@Mamiechannel1231 Thank you so much! Loved chatting with you on the live

@@ATravelingBlackCouple Thank you, I love being a content creator and supporting others ...

Thank you! It was definitely adventurous. We had fun relaxing at Costa Maya but it will be great to see what Perfect Day Mexico will be like there in a few years.

She did not have to do me like that lol

That comment was crazy work

@@SeeItWithC The bridge was shaking so hard 😂 I wasn’t even being dramatic. Even Eryck was leaning the way someone was walking.

Yes! We plan to do more research moving forward. We were really just trying to work around several different budgets.

@@SeeItWithC We had a great time! Would love to do some of the other parks one day.

@@AnonyMous-nl7ig You are 1000% correct! There was honestly way more to it, but that was the first thing I could think of. More flexibility and options would be great. The problem was that we had just come off Independence with the exact same menu, but slightly better quality.

@@AnonyMous-nl7ig Great tip! We will try that next time because our feet were TORE UP!

@@philanddeetravels We were nervous, but that’s why we went with a Royal excursion in case we were late getting back! That early wake up time was definitely a stretch for us, would not recommend. Would love to do an all inclusive stay in Playa del Carmen. It was so nice.

@@AnonyMous-nl7ig Thank you so much for watching! Luckily we didn’t have that issue and got to see everything.

@@msfabuloso Thank you so much! He really is great 😂. I promise it wasn’t as hot as he made it seem though lol. I hope you enjoy your trip! Virgin is a blast.

Thanks for watching! We personally have not been on Celebrity, but have heard great things. We absolutely loved our time on Virgin, but at times it was a little risqué. I think you guys would be ok if you skipped shows like the Misbehave Show and relaxed in hot tubs away from the main pool deck. But, I probably would go with Celebrity to avoid anything that may make you all uncomfortable.

@@marquistoliver8571 SO! We definitely are loyal to royal, but after this Virgin cruise we definitely changed our tunes. We went on two Royal cruises this summer and they just didn’t live up to our expectations. We’re going on Icon soon so we are excited. But, Virgin definitely is up there for us.

@@marquistoliver8571 I think Virgin is definitely the place to be for a 30th! The adults only vibe is so refreshing. Food was top tier and the entertainment funny.

@@ATravelingBlackCouple wishing you the best sailing on icon that ship looks amazing

@@marquistoliver8571 Definitely the place to be. Karaoke was so much fun! Neither of us participate infront of big crowds so this was perfect for us.

@@marquistoliver8571 LOVED the wake for Breakfast. We never got to try razzle dazzle in the AM. We stuck to the made to order things in the buffet, so it wasn’t too bad!

@@ATravelingBlackCouple i love your videos tho i love getting different opinions on cruises especially from our own.

@@marquistoliver8571 Thank you so much for watching!

@@marquistoliver8571 I think you will definitely enjoy it! We were expecting an insider so to have a sea terrace at all was incredible. We’ve heard great things about the views from the central sea terraces. I hope you guys have fun 😊

@@marquistoliver8571 We would definitely love to go back! It was a nice change of pace to have somewhere to go other than the cruise terminal.

These are great tips, so thank you for all the comments lol. This sailing was definitely eye opening for us. A lot more goes into picking the perfect sailing than we thought (we meaning Eryck because Morgan warned me😂). We're going on Icon at the end of the year and then we'll probably stay between freedom & quantum class going forward. We aren't partiers or heavy drinkers. We don't necessarily need all the extra amenities of the big ship, but enjoy people watching, so bigger ships work better for us lol.

100% agree that research and setting expectations are important. I think we came in expecting to do as we had on the previous ships and were let down when we realized we couldn’t. I can definitely see this ship as a drink, chill in the pool, and splurge on excursions type of trip (that's exactly what we did😂). On our previous sailings (Independece 2x & serenade) we only did 1 excursion and the ship made up for the rest of the days. As far as how RC plans to make these smaller ships into "the destination", I think just adding the sports court and maybe the flowrider would be enough! Each wouldn't take up too much space. Late night basketball on serenade was our daily routine lol.

I am sure you will love Icon, you are sound the same kind of cruisers as us, have a few drinks, want it to be lively around us but not to be too involved yourself. I haven’t done Icon yet but done all the other class ships, now I enjoy what the ship provides rather than what it’s missing. As started with the smaller ships I wasn’t sure if the bigger ships were going to be too big, but the bigger the better. If budget allows and time (I know we get far more vacation leave in UK than you do in the US) but if you can I would recommend an Alaska cruise and then spend few days in Alaska, or come over to our side of the pond and have a Mediterranean cruise. As said before, so many good ports and history that what ship you go on is not so important, so can get a better deal on smaller ships.

We’re trying to catch up to you😂 We’ve been eyeing an Alaska sailing for next year on Anthem of the Seas! And I’ve been itching to get back on Virgin. They have a Mediterranean sailing that I think will be really good. Thank you for this advice!

Gotta shout out @thekeyairacymone on this one. Try searching “R&B Non-Copyright”. The mixes actually be 🔥

@@philanddeetravelsWe really like the idea of small ships! The familiarity and interactions with the staff is unmatched. We LOVED Serenade when we went on it with our friend group. It is also a smaller and older ship, but it had a few more upgrades. I think the new class of smaller ships will be perfect for us.

@@philanddeetravels So they had pizza in the park café but there was no comparison 😂

@@mikethetravellover1986 We love a good bar crawl, but also a limited number of bars. Our favorite was in the spotlight lounge, so we went there every night and watched Karaoke. But 💯 right, you get what you pay for. We recommend paying more 😂.

@@ATravelingBlackCouple yeah I’ve toured enchantment before some years ago.. it showed age but still looked nice. Yeah Royal hopefully will be getting newer smaller ships soon

@@mikethetravellover1986 The common areas were definitely better kept, but Enchantment is definitely showing its age. We still had a great trip, just won’t be doing this ship again. We love small ships, so we are looking forward to the newer class too.

@@ATravelingBlackCouplehave you all seen Norwegian’s mid size ships?

@@mikethetravellover1986 Not yet! Which one do you recommend 👀
