@alessiofortezze9998 She was great!! One of our favorites.

@@melonbery They have a bunch of things they call pull out that you don't see, but it's definitely not the best kids club out there (but it's also better than a lot of others we've seen... It's somewhere in the middle)!

@@deshmukhshweta Happy to hear it helped! Have an amazing cruise!

Thank you!!

@@MaggyAndTonyAnable Love coming across other Mountaineers...happy new year and happy sails!

There were plenty of areas where you could find peace and solitude. What cruise line do you prefer that has less? In my experience, Celebrity has less of the loud music and what not that you find on other cruise ships.

@@raybar1915 I appreciate the feedback, thank you. Happy new year and happy sails!

@@AliC4400 I appreciate you watching and I'm happy to hear things have helped! We are cruising to Alaska again in July, this time out of Vancouver instead of Seattle and on HAL instead of Norwegian... Based on what we learned the first time, I think this will be a better experience! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback...happy new year!

@@yannwu9655 We have yet to do Explora as we like the big shows and attractions outside the YC, but we're hoping to do one soon. Have you done both? Curious how they compare!

@@Brandrewification You are doing to be setting the bar very high for future cruises starting with the Utopia! Happy this helped...happy New Year!

@@reddchaingemai6058 I always suggest a good travel agent as they can find you good deals and they're also super helpful if there's ever an issue (and they don't cost you anything). There's a FB group called Celebrity Cruises Deals where I often see great group rates posted.

@@reddchaingemai6058 There's a lot that goes into finding the right ship but I would probably take a look at Celebrity as these ships offer a great experience that's never too crowded and you can sometimes find pretty good deals, especially on the older ships. They won't have the fun amenities like slides or rock climbing walls, but if you just want a great cruise experience, we love Celebrity.

@@reddchaingemai6058 Where do you want to cruise out of? Florida or somewhere else? Thanks for watching!

@@jlawrence0181 I hope you're right about excess inventory leading to lower prices! It doesn't seem like that's the case yet but it very well may be soon. Also a good point about the payment terms making it easy for people to book.

@@livingtotravel4290 I agree, I wish they would just include it in the fare but unfortunately they don't and it's not something we can change 😞

@@Dave17101 We're excited for the World America as well... We will be on there in May! We aren't crazy about the Prima-class either, but I think from a business perspective it has done well for NCL. We are on the Aqua the week after the World America so we will have some good perspective! I'm not sure about the dual hammocks, I'm not sure... Just what I found in my research!

@@BabyYass Yes, these are all in a coed area with the exception of the infrared saunas in each locker room.

@@stevebartley628 Not a fan of the newer ships?

@@FamilyAtSea not larger ones

@stevebartley628 Fair! We just finished a cruise on the Icon and were impressed with how uncrowded it felt, especially compared to the Sun Princess we were on just a couple weeks before it. But I know even the Sun Princess may be too large!

@@DrewFu319 There's chapters so you can feel free to skip ahead!

@@Dave17101 We were actually there last week on the Icon! (but we just went to the beach to go planespotting for Jackson!)

@FamilyAtSea I bet he loved that!

@Dave17101 He was in heaven!

@@clowclad Nobody really knows as it seems to be totally random. I've read that it's supposed to be on the 1st day of the month the month before you sail, but that's not what it was for us. I can see that we booked things on August 3rd and our sailing was September 9-13, so that at least gives you an idea. I can tell you it was available on the website well before the app, so if I was you I would do the following: - Check on the website a couple times a day - Join the Facebook group for your sailing as people will often post in there when reservations open up Good luck getting a spot... It's a fun experience and I'm sure your mom will love it! Happy sails!

@@FamilyAtSea Thank you so much for the feedback and advice - really appreciate it!!!

@clowclad Not a problem, good luck!

@@FamilyAtSea one last question - sorry. Does this open up in the dining section of the site or the onboard activities section? I'd assume dining.

@clowclad It was under Dining, but I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up under both.

@@ggtopp There's a lot of conflicting information out there about cruise gratuities and I can only share what I've been told, but I actually recently published a video about this exact topic based on interviews I did with actual crew members I've met on various cruises. In short - all of them told me when too many people remove gratuities, their paycheck is for the minimum pay guaranteed by the cruise lines, but if people don't remove them, their paychecks are higher. This has an even bigger impact on crew working behind the scenes that don't receive tips from guests because they don't interact with them. Hope this helps! ruclips.net/video/TcGwTuo_N6A/видео.html

@@bocajay7481 I don't disagree, but unfortunately removing gratuities only hurts the hard working crew. Based on other legislation we've seen around things like pricing transparency, I wouldn't be surprised to see legislation require this to be included in the price of the cruise but I'm sure there will be some upset people who typically remove their gratuities whose cruise just got more expensive (even if it stays the same for the majority of us).

@@Mrrkj I appreciate that, thank you!

@@timkerwin6886 I've heard great things about that ship! We were on the Sun Princess over Thanksgiving and it wasn't our favorite, but I talked to many Princess loyalists who said ships like the Sky are much more indicative of the true Princess experience. Enjoy your cruise!

@@timkerwin6886 That's definitely a good area as long as you're not directly above/below/beside the buffet as those rooms would be quite noisy.

@@gildardomagallon I think that's something we'd all prefer, but unfortunately that's not how things are done and we don't have any control over it.

Thanks man!!

Thank you!!

Yeah, I saw the same thing... Fortunately that doesn't happen often, but not ideal there!

@@portableassets2054 The Edge-class ships are amazing. I slightly prefer the Ascent to the Apex, but loved both. Can't wait until our kids are grown so we can do those long sailings!

@@FamilyAtSea We will cruise together at some point!!! I love your food reviews. We have similar tastes. Edge class is our favorite by far.

@@portableassets2054 It's good to know people enjoy the food reviews, thanks man. Looking forward to the cruise when things line up right!

​@@FamilyAtSeaI love the food reviews, a lot better then just a picture of the foods, but the kids can be harsh judges sometimes,.

@Dave17101 They're learning the art of subtlety 😅

@@jackieannie3027 That's something RUclips controls, I'm sorry though! Hopefully you'll learn something that makes it worth the wait. Happy sails!

@@Travelwithtej26 Thanks Tej... we're missing the Icon!

@@ksr1177 Happy to hear you had a great experience! We are giving NCL another chance on the Aqua in the spring and we're hopeful it will be a better one for us.

@ hope you guys have a great time look forward to seeing your video.

@ksr1177 I appreciate that, thank you!!

I missed this comment, sorry for the slow reply! We're trying NCL again on the new Aqua in the Spring in the Caribbean, but I don't think I'd do NCL again for a variety of reasons. Every time I turn around NCL seems to be cutting something. One of the highlights of our Encore cruise was Choir of Man but they've decided to cut Broadway shows from their future sailings so that won't be an option on the Aqua. It seems like they used to be a good cruise line but I'm afraid the things that made them special are no longer a part of their offering any longer. We love Celebrity but it seems like Princess and HAL are the way to go in Alaska so when we go back in the summer it will be on HAL (has an indoor pool, better dock locations, longer port calls, and the ship should be less crowded). We haven't sailed on Cunard yet but hopefully someday soon!

@@Kong-kg6ij True... For that much, you better bring a good bottle of wine!

@@FamilyAtSea Or drink it in your cabin

@Kong-kg6ij This! You are right about that.

@@Dave17101 She just tells the crew onboard she's a vegetarian and that's always been fine! Some cruise lines have started charging for a second entree and I thought I was MSC started charging $5 but happy to hear you haven't been! It'll be January before the sloths/monkeys video is released as I need to get through the rest of the Celebrity Apex that was right before it first. When's your next cruise?

@@JonEskro Fair point, but unfortunately that's not something any of us have any control over.

@@candlechef6786 Thank you for watching! We have never had an issue getting back on time but I know there's a small risk as you said!

Thanks for reply. Just subscribed

@candlechef6786 Thank you...happy sails!

@@PicklesAndMoo Thank you!

@@sammychem5920 I typically book with TAs who work with specific cruise lines vs book any and all travel. Not only do they know everything they're is to know, they also typically have group bookings with big discounts. I would join some Facebook groups for ships/cruise lines you want to book and you can usually find them in those. Good luck!

@@whereisroom3204 From what I can recall they had 6 decks in the shoe, but this was back in April so I could be wrong.

@FamilyAtSea thanks! Do you happen to remember how often they shuffle? Do they do it after they deal half the shoe or was it longer than that? Like if they put the cut card in the middle of the shoe or if they put it farther back? I like shoes that last longer, they seem luckier for me! Thanks again!

@whereisroom3204 Sorry, I don't remember specifically enough. Hopefully you'll do better than me as this was not one of my luckier cruises (still had a blast though).

@@johndunkelburg9495 🤣🤣🤣 That doesn't seem too far from the truth based on what we saw!
