    I’m planning on doing the August itinerary for 2025 and this video definitely gave me a lot to think about. Definitely going to go for the interior cabin, but honestly I don’t think I’ll be too upset if we end up missing the Greenland ports. Went on a cruise last year and there was so much to do on the ship we only spent like 1-2 hours off the ship at each port anyway 😂.

    We are planning to go on this cruise in September. I always say its what you make it. We did a 30(31ish) day transpacific and a good portion of our cruise got canceled due to weather, Alaska had a horrible storm and then Philippines was canceled due to a hurricane. I do believe the Australians on that cruise were about to cause a mutiny and take over the ship but I had fun! I relaxed and enjoyed my time and made amazing memories with amazing strangers, now friends.

      I completely agree! This was my first solo cruise without Zack and I left with life long friends that I still talk to every day. I may be joining you in September- if I get a good offer for the Aug or Sept sailing I will definitely roll the dice and go again! Thanks for watching ☺️

    I was on this cruise and it was my worst Cruise ever. Carnival is going very downhill. Got sick on the second day and three weeks later I am still sick. My lungs are destroyed from the virus. People were spreading around the boat. It started bad when the person had to be evacuated from the boat because they had a brain bleed and head trauma due to the rough seas. After the third port we missed I thought for sure Carnival would do something to reimburse us but all they gave us was $400. What a letdown I just made platinum and I don’t think I’m going to cruise with this line again.

    • @ANervousTrek
      @ANervousTrek 16 дней назад

      I’m so sorry to hear this. I heard/saw people coughing and sneezing in public spaces not covering their face. I noticed Captain started mentioning to please wash your hands and stay in your room a lot by day 4 so something was definitely going around. I hope you feel better soon 💛

      We were also on this sailing actually had a balcony and enjoyed it. We were able to see what the weather was each morning - usually foggy. When the weather was clear, it was nice. We were able to watch the trip up the fjord from our room and stepped out occasionally to take pictures. The curtains did a great job of blocking the outside light. If you're not able to do the balcony upgrade, you will still enjoy the cruise. You'll just have to go up on deck to see everything.

      Please don’t be nervous- I was just trying make an informative video telling all sides of the stories. I think because I was alone I was talking to a lot more people than I normally would and heard about every story, complaint, and a lot of very nice and kind things said. The empath in me took over when I realized how many people saved $6k and used all of their PTO but didn’t do much research about the cruise path. Our captain was fantastic and still got us through the Arsuk Fjord in Greenland and that meant a-lot. Enjoy your upcoming cruise and avoid the negative Nancy’s- I wish I had!

We tried to make the best out of it but are still mourning for the 7k we paid for it. Wish we had been on one of those casino offers which would have made it a bit less disappointing.

      Thank you for posting this! I really enjoyed my time and all of the people I met- I felt it was important to try and tell everyone’s stories so future cruisers are aware that they may not get there, they probably don’t need a balcony room with all of that fog, and every person on that ship paid something different, may or may not have saved for years for a bucket list trip, may be retired or may have used all of their PTO for the trip. I think all of the emotions felt were valid as no two people are the same and experience life differently 💛 Thank you again for being kind and commenting!

    @wudaddy 25 дней назад

    I was on this cruise also. A memorable cruise for all the wrong reasons. When we missed St. Anthony, even the cruise director sounded like he was in disbelief when he came over the P.A. system. The cruise felt like Silent Hill with all the fog. I couldn't believe a truck would coincidentally turn over at BOTH of the places we actually ported. The only positive things I salvaged from this whole thing was Amy Lou and Chuck Wagner. Great performances. But even they couldn't believe how this unfolded when I talked to them. Our servers at dinner told us they were going crazy because they'd never gone that long without getting off the ship. One of the machines in the casino took $188 from us on an 88 cent bet. Plus, the room steward charged us for beverages we didn't consume after we debarked. We submitted complaints on both of those and so far got refunded for the beverages. None of this has ever happened to us before out of 14 cruises. This cruise curse keeps on giving 🙄. Thanks for posting this, so people won't think we're lying or crazy.

    The sand actually WAS pink. I have tons of pictures of it as I have been to Bermuda several times. The problem is the sand (well the wildlife that makes it look Pink) has been compromised over the years due to al the sunscreen and lotion that finds its way in the water. Its actually sad how it all changed.

      Yeah- my extended family lived there when I was a baby so my mom has photos of me at 9 months old and the sand looked pink in the film photos. Granted, that was over 30 years ago. I think expectations now come from highly edited and saturated photos. I saw a post that said the photo was taken yesterday in Bermuda with basically magenta edited sand and people commenting how they couldn’t wait to see sand that color. 🫣

We did have to walk up a decent sized hill and it was very hot when we went- the van they pick you up in doesn’t have AC. Just to be 100% transparent! It’s a quick ride though.
