Missed you live, so watching now. I really am living vicariously through you. I hope the World Cruise is still going on in 6 years when I decide to retire!
Nancy & Mike thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you both,your family,tour itinerary,tour friends & watching your amazing past adventures,now & in the future.🐨🦘🙏♥️
The most amazing thing I think that you were able to do was that when you were at Christ Redeemer statue you were able to attend mass. You just locked into the time of mass. But if I ever win the lottery, I am definitely going to the falls.
I am absolutely loving watching your videos and adventures on the world cruise. I am using your videos to compile my own wish list of places I hope to visit one day. Thank you for all the great information and for being such a pleasure to watch.
Wonderfully informative video. Thank you for not reporting on the drama happenings on the cruise. There’s enough drama in life. I want to hear happy news.
Ok. So have to tell you this. I was at my sister's and her sister in law from Oklahoma was there. Her and I were talking about cruising on Carnival Dream which we have both done within the last year. I mentioned finding you on you tube or tik tok. She knew immediately who I was talking about and who you were. She mentioned that she could tell from your accent that you were from the midwest. She said she had made contact with you and you were from Hutchinson. Small world. I live in Great Bend. It's like going to Wichita to the mall and running into my neighbors from Great Bend which I have done many times. Thought it was interesting and had to share with you. Thanks for your content. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.
It's great to hear from you. Yes we're both from Kansas originally Mike's family is from the Great Bend and liebenthal Kansas area and yes Nancy's family is from the Fowler Kansas area. We both went to Wichita State and that's where we met Commando by the way Mike's mom is from Oklahoma. So yes it is a small world thanks for sailing along with us
I loved your q&a. In October I did a repositioning cruise that traveled through Moorea and Tahiti, and all I can tell you is that Moorea is one of the most amazing places on the face of the Earth and I am so excited for you guys to see it.
I’ve got 10 years until I’m on to Phase 2, I guess I need to start saving for a world cruise! Y’all have sent me down a rabbit hole, thank you RUclips algorithm, lol. My husband doesn’t know what happened to me, lol!
@kristinstauffer Same!!! The rabbit hole is real🤣🤭!!! I have 15 yrs to go. After a few videos...I came up with a savings plan. I'm SO ready! I love their journey
Really enjoying sharing your trip , were from Scotland we’re just back from a 7 night Canaries islands cruise and got a 7 day Norwegian fiords cruise to look forward to, not quite the same but has to do till we can retire in couple of years
I so enjoy your videos! You two are so positive, which is wonderful. I Am watching a replay, but Wanted to let you know how enjoyable your videos are. Thank you so much. La Verne
Hello from Winnipeg, Canada. Thanks kindly for sharing your journey. I’ve enjoyed each vlog immensely & look forward to more. You both have a lovely gift in creating these. Bliss & Blessings to you.
Watched the whole video - great rapid-fire answers. I’ve been watching since your organization video, and I’ll be here until Day 274! I appreciate you sharing your adventure.
New subscriber! Enjoying your videos from SC on this hot and humid Saturday afternoon. Have a great rest Joe your trip. Thank you for posting. I am a fellow midwesterner hailing from IL,but have lived here in SC/Myrtle Beach for 9 years. No more Chicago winters for me. Thanks again!💕😊🏝️
I’m not sure how you popped up in my algorithm, but so glad I found you. I’ve been following along for several weeks now. Living vicariously through your adventures! My husband is a Baptist Minister and we always said it would be fun to retire and be a ship’s Pastor 😊
I love watching the blog. I cruise with royal and a few other cruise lines; royal is my favorite. My last trip was Carnival on the British isle 10 days last September. I am now planning something through the Alaska straits. My sister -in -law is on that cruise and may have met you both as I told her about your blog. Thanks for the work doing this it takes a lot to blog.
California Linda says hello, and we are so glad you're enjoying the world cruise. We just finished 2 side-to-side each one 27 days Australia and South Pacific, and we also held a koala at Lone Pine Koala Santuary. I also swam with the whale sharks in Exmouth. No questions, just enjoying your vlogs. So glad you're prioritizing the experience over the vlogs. 👍
Hey Guys Thanks again for your videos & bringing us along on your adventures!! When do you guys finish your adventure.. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us. Cheers 🎉🎉😂😂
@livingphase2 Thanks, Nancy & Mike. Thanks for the reply. It will make it a bit more interesting knowing the time frame for your trip. Thanks very much for taking the time to put your videos together and share with us. We really appreciate it. Have a Great Day !! Thanks Arlene & Tim
Watching the replay. Love to follow your adventures. I'm in Belgium and I noticed you'll be in Zeebrugge on 27 July. Let me know if I can take you anywhere or get you anything.
Thank you. Mike had a Belgium foreign exchange student living with him for a year in high school and we are actually off the ship for a week during that time spending it with her. So excited.😀
Thank you so much! Sorry I think when we met you we were in a bit of a rush to get to a event. Be sure to say hi again. it was wonderful meeting you on board also.
Yes, installment payments were available, which we did. But we had it paid off I believe before either January 1 or January 31 before the cruise as we got 10% off by doing that.
Hello from Australia Newcastle N.S.W. Missed the live stream but watching it back, I'm interested to know what your doing for active/ tour while in Newcastle. Love your videos, keen to see the ship and you guys in Australia. Definitely be going into Port at Newcastle to see the ship 👍
It varies how often we go through time zones. We’re heading now towards New Zealand and we will have a time zone change almost every day. But sometimes we don’t have a time zone change for a couple of weeks.
Hello! I recently found your wonderful videos and I have so many questions but I promise I will only ask one. I have been retired for 4 years now. My husband will be retiring May 31st 🤞 . We have been talking about cruising. Watching your video has even put a world cruise in my thoughts. My 1st concern would be medications. I always have a 3-6 month supply at home (I am diabetic) pretty well controlled, Thank God. Did you have to plan for long term medication prescriptions? If you did, would you mind sharing how that is possible? Thank you so very, very much. 💕
This is Nancy speaking. I take two different prescriptions. For One, the doctor wrote a prescription for nine months, and Walgreens filled it. For the second, a different doctor, she gave me a physical written prescription. Royal had me fill out paperwork for this one ahead of time. And Royal has it for me on the cruise. It’s a bit more expensive paying Royal for it versus getting it at home, but not an excessive amount.
You are doing such a great job with your trip coverage! I have always been afraid of a long cruise because of possible high seas. Nancy you are giving me hope for long cruises in my future, thank you! Did you use a travel agency? Would you recommend?
I'm the one that asked about the shoes. I have been watching a lot of packing videos and have become obsessed with this topic. (I think my chat comment sounded judgmental when re-reading it but couldn't edit it.)
I will have to reread your question in the comments because I don’t remember anything right off the top of my head about shoes. But no worries. There was nothing that sounded judgmental as we were going through it all. But the whole hour went so fast and was kind of a blur.😉
Hi Mike, I'm curious (particularly with your engineering background) about your preparation and planning with automobile management while you're away on the 9-month cruise. What best practices or actions did you take with your autos? Are they driven monthly? Do you have the batterys disconnected or trickle-charged? Sold them? House sitter drives them for errands etc... Thank you for any feedback. We enjoy each video, planning our first two-week cruise, longer than earlier cruises. In the future, we plan to go away for a month or longer.
Nancy here as Mike is currently editing another video. We had two vehicles. One we sold. The other we have learned to our daughter and her family to use while we are away.
@@livingphase2 Terrific. Thank you for the feedback. We enjoy your videos and Traci and I watch them together when available. Traci is hopeful we can visit Ushuaia "The End of the World" and Antartica!
OK, so if I ever gave myself credit for travel organization....I was wrong! I'm learning a ton from you both on preparing for some future travel my wife and I are thinking. Be well and thanks for the videos
We put those together over our two years planning leading up to this. Of course then we had the change in segment 3 to now going to Africa so we had to completly redo that one. 😁
Given the unique circumstances of a nine month cruise are the medical services included for routine checkups or sudden illnesses. To shots of anything caught abroad
Medical facilities are available, but there is a charge to use them. Hopefully we will stay good and healthy. And finally you could always file a claim with your personal health insurance if need be.
Hello world cruisers. You mentioned in your live chat that you both own a catering business. Do you do any of the cooking? Do you have staff at your catering business, and if so, what are they doing now that you’re on your world Cruise? I am enjoying your contact immensely. Looking forward to your African travels.❤❤
Just curious you have to put a credit card on file for cruises. Are they billing your credit card (for example : internet, things bought, special food) weekly? Monthly? Did you set up a deposit? And how much do you feel you are spending on top of the base cruise price. Sorry if this is to personal just curious because one day I want to do a world cruise. You have inspired me 😊
Hmmm...that's interesting that RC keeps your passport. In my experience, we've been places where our passport was needed for high end shopping as well as catching ferries if they happened to go to other countries (which we have done on cruises)...and what about hotels, I know you mentioned staying out at some of the ports, wouldn't a passport be needed for check in's?
I really enjoy your channel. I kinda thought the drama was made up just for the tic tok to grab followers and likes. I’ve cruised over 20 times, mostly on royal, and know that most of what’s being said on social media can’t really even be a thing. Ship flooding? Out of food and wine? Fighting? Not realistic. But it definitely gets ppl that don’t know cruising to pay attention. Thx for the live. Hope I can catch the next one. Keep up the great work.
Check what you say at 49:44. I laughed out loud. I think you meant meclizine...not mescaline. And as for Meclizine, I thought that was one that didn't make you sleepy? My friend swears by it for it's effectiveness and because she doesn't get drowsy. (I am a lucky one, so far; I've never been seasick.) Really enjoying your video. I'm 20 minutes from the end.
I used to work on RC Voyager of the seas in the restaurant ....i actually brought it out in the maiden voyage and beyond .....I would love to see you involve some waiters and waitresses to get their background stories ....I think your channel is awesome , love you guys ....we used to work 16 hours a day with one port off a week ( 5 hours ) so really hard ...but best years of my life x so seeing the staff is awesome especially learing about their life x
That is a really good idea and some thing we haven’t really talked about. I’ll discuss it with Mike and see if there’s something we can come up with. Thanks!
I love your videos! I watched the live Q&A, but next time if you could read what the people are asking you, before you answer, it would be easier to follow. But thank you for doing this!!!
I missed the live but I’m definitely living vicariously through you guys! Have a blast for us all.🥰🤗🥳🥰🤗🥳
Thank you so much.
You are one of the nicest and most genuine couples in the Internet. Also love your dad jokes.
Thank you so much.
Missed you live, so watching now. I really am living vicariously through you. I hope the World Cruise is still going on in 6 years when I decide to retire!
Thank you so much for following along on our journey.
You have a great attitude and philosophy. Great content.
I think so much for the wonderful comment and for coming along on our journey
Nancy & Mike thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you both,your family,tour itinerary,tour friends & watching your amazing past adventures,now & in the future.🐨🦘🙏♥️
Glad you enjoyed it. We're looking at doing another live stream soon
The most amazing thing I think that you were able to do was that when you were at Christ Redeemer statue you were able to attend mass. You just locked into the time of mass. But if I ever win the lottery, I am definitely going to the falls.
You have inspired me to book a B2B2B. A 14day Alaska, 15day Hawaii and a 16day Panama Canal. I will use a couple of your tips!❤
That’s awesome. We are looking at doing a Panama Canal cruise for our reunion cruise.😉
Love your positive attitudes. Thanks so much for sharing your incredible journey.
Waving at you from Arkansas City, KS.
Funny, my father was an Ark City Police Officer and a Cowley County Sheriff's deputy when I was very young. Small world!
Thanks!
I am absolutely loving watching your videos and adventures on the world cruise. I am using your videos to compile my own wish list of places I hope to visit one day. Thank you for all the great information and for being such a pleasure to watch.
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for following along on our journey.
Totally agree to not worry about rushing these videos! It’s YOUR adventure! That comes first and we can enjoy the ride when you want to share 😊
Yes! Thank you!
Watching the replay... love it! Thank you! Very nice!
Thank you so much.
I love following along on your journey- telling us the story without the fake hype!
Thanks so much for following along. We try to give it to you straight.😀
Just catching up on your vids. Love them . Looking forward to seeing all the rest. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wonderfully informative video. Thank you for not reporting on the drama happenings on the cruise. There’s enough drama in life. I want to hear happy news.
We want to hear happy news, too. And in truth, there’s not a lot of drama even happening on the ship. Or if there is, we stay far away from it.
I usually don't watch livestreams. But for you I made an exception. Your shows are great! Thanks a bunch.
We appreciate hearing that. Thanks so much for following along on our journey.

I'm a fellow cruiser and cross stitcher! There is nothing like stitching and watching the ocean! I need to see what you are working on. ♥
You know what, I will do a RUclips short on that. I’d love to show it off.😀 watch for it soon.
Thank you for keeping it real! Living vicariously thru you. This would be a dream trip for us.
Thank you for your kind words. It is truly a dream and a blessing for us as well.
I loved your q&a. In October I did a repositioning cruise that traveled through Moorea and Tahiti, and all I can tell you is that Moorea is one of the most amazing places on the face of the Earth and I am so excited for you guys to see it.

Sorry I missed your live. I am living my retirement through you❤
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for following along on our journey.
I’ve got 10 years until I’m on to Phase 2, I guess I need to start saving for a world cruise! Y’all have sent me down a rabbit hole, thank you RUclips algorithm, lol. My husband doesn’t know what happened to me, lol!
Thanks so much for joining our face to flock. Glad you're enjoying our adventure as much as we like sharing it
Same with the rabbit hole😂 only two years till my nest is empty and I've never cruised!!! Would love to change that after your amazing content
@kristinstauffer Same!!! The rabbit hole is real🤣🤭!!! I have 15 yrs to go. After a few videos...I came up with a savings plan. I'm SO ready! I love their journey
Your videos are a treat. I have never been on a cruise but have travelled a wee bit. If I ever do, it will be because of you two. 😊
Thank you so much!
you both look very healthy, travel is sooooo good for you, i'm so happy for you peace and blessings
🥰
♥
Thanks so much.
Really enjoying sharing your trip , were from Scotland

Thanks so much for watching, and following along on our journey.
Love your channel, my kids and I are following your journey for our geography! Thanks so much 💕
Awesome! Thank you!

My husband is a Baptist Minister and we always said it would be fun to retire and be a ship’s Pastor 😊
That would be an awesome job. Thanks so much for following along!
Great Q&A. Thanks for the videos. I wouldn't be able to keep up with it. Eventually I'd get to the point where it feels like a job. Much appreciated.
We are not gonna let that happen. We really only do videos on CDs. And it is something we enjoy.😉
I'm from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺.
You won't want to leave..
We welcome you..
Thank you so much. We loved Australia and no we will be back.😀
Enjoyed this, great job!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love following your adventures ❤
Thanks
I love watching the blog. I cruise with royal and a few other cruise lines; royal is my favorite. My last trip was Carnival on the British isle 10 days last September. I am now planning something through the Alaska straits. My sister -in -law is on that cruise and may have met you both as I told her about your blog. Thanks for the work doing this it takes a lot to blog.
Oh wonderful and thank you for the kind words. Who is your sister-in-law?
California Linda says hello, and we are so glad you're enjoying the world cruise. We just finished 2 side-to-side each one 27 days Australia and South Pacific, and we also held a koala at Lone Pine Koala Santuary. I also swam with the whale sharks in Exmouth. No questions, just enjoying your vlogs. So glad you're prioritizing the experience over the vlogs. 👍
Thanks fir following along. 🥰
Hey Guys
Thanks again for your videos & bringing us along on your adventures!! When do you guys finish your adventure.. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us.
Cheers
🎉🎉😂😂
We return September 10, however, our videos will continue for a while after that period Of time.
@livingphase2 Thanks, Nancy & Mike.
Thanks for the reply. It will make it a bit more interesting knowing the time frame for your trip. Thanks very much for taking the time to put your videos together and share with us. We really appreciate it.
Have a Great Day !!
Thanks
Arlene & Tim
Watching the replay. Love to follow your adventures. I'm in Belgium and I noticed you'll be in Zeebrugge on 27 July. Let me know if I can take you anywhere or get you anything.
Thank you. Mike had a Belgium foreign exchange student living with him for a year in high school and we are actually off the ship for a week during that time spending it with her. So excited.😀
Love watching the videos. My husband and I are going on our first cruise this summer! Definitely are going to use some of your tips.
Glad you like them!
I am actually near Newcastle..
You will love this port as well.
Newcastle has come alive after being very slow for a long time..
Enjoy Australia..🐨🦘🐨🦘
We absolutely loved Australia and we know we will be back someday.
Thank you so much for doing a live! I really enjoy your videos so it was exciting to watch your live! Y’all are my favorite!
Thanks so much
Enjoying your updates!!!
I'm so glad!
Enjoyed meeting on board. Really enjoy your videos and love your attitude. You both are so gracious. Diana from deck 10 and Oregon.
15:54
Thank you so much! Sorry I think when we met you we were in a bit of a rush to get to a event. Be sure to say hi again. it was wonderful meeting you on board also.
We did the Sydney Harbor bridge climb. So much fun. Make sure shoes have backs
They take it slow and steady you will be fine .❤
Thank you for the advice. We’ve been taking the stairs everywhere here on the ship just to prepare for the Sydney climb!😀
Love your videos and look forward to seeing them. We sail on Royal or Celebrity and have been on over 30 cruises with them. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
I love watching you guys
Thank you!
Hello 👋 from Australia 🇦🇺
Were installment payments available? How much was the deposit? How long did you have to complete your payment...this is so exciting😂
Yes, installment payments were available, which we did. But we had it paid off I believe before either January 1 or January 31 before the cruise as we got 10% off by doing that.
Love your vlogs. You guys are awesome. Much love from Texas
Yay! Thank you!
Love the Tshirts! Thanks for the videos.
Our pleasure!
You look so pretty here Nancy😊
Thanks so much!
Can't wait to see you in Tahiti, a dream for many people
For us to. we get there tomorrow
Another youtuber mentioned following you guys. Glad I was listening when he mentioned your channel. I believe I will enjoy seeing your videos.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
Hello from Oregon. How is your organization in your room holding up? Have you made any changes?
All good.😊
😊
Hello from Australia Newcastle N.S.W.
Missed the live stream but watching it back, I'm interested to know what your doing for active/ tour while in Newcastle.
Love your videos, keen to see the ship and you guys in Australia.
Definitely be going into Port at Newcastle to see the ship 👍
In Newcastle, we are going to the Hunter Valley for a wine tour. If by chance you happen to see us say hello.😀
Wish someone had asked about timezones. Curious how many you go through in a week and if it disrupts your internal clock.
It varies how often we go through time zones. We’re heading now towards New Zealand and we will have a time zone change almost every day. But sometimes we don’t have a time zone change for a couple of weeks.
Hello!
I recently found your wonderful videos and I have so many questions but I promise I will only ask one. I have been retired for 4 years now. My husband will be retiring May 31st 🤞 . We have been talking about cruising. Watching your video has even put a world cruise in my thoughts. My 1st concern would be medications. I always have a 3-6 month supply at home (I am diabetic) pretty well controlled, Thank God. Did you have to plan for long term medication prescriptions? If you did, would you mind sharing how that is possible? Thank you so very, very much. 💕
This is Nancy speaking. I take two different prescriptions. For One, the doctor wrote a prescription for nine months, and Walgreens filled it. For the second, a different doctor, she gave me a physical written prescription. Royal had me fill out paperwork for this one ahead of time. And Royal has it for me on the cruise. It’s a bit more expensive paying Royal for it versus getting it at home, but not an excessive amount.
Thank you very very much. 💕
we are huge cruisers and i time my haircuts for the cruise. best haircuts ive ever had are on cruises.
Yes our friends have had a great experience at the onboard spa as well
I missed the live but wanted to let you know I hope you are doing well and that you enjoy every minute of your time!
Thank you so much!
Watching the replay I am from Newfoundland I believe that’s your only stop in Canada.
Yes, that is our only stop in Canada.
You are doing such a great job with your trip coverage! I have always been afraid of a long cruise because of possible high seas. Nancy you are giving me hope for long cruises in my future, thank you! Did you use a travel agency? Would you recommend?
You can do it! We really don't have a recommendation, our travel agent has retired. Sorry 😐
Hi, I'm watching the rerun and I have a question. How did you handle travel insurance? Is it paid in installments as the cruise fare is paid?
Thank you for submitting your question. We will answer that in the next video.😀
I'm the one that asked about the shoes. I have been watching a lot of packing videos and have become obsessed with this topic. (I think my chat comment sounded judgmental when re-reading it but couldn't edit it.)

Hi Mike, I'm curious (particularly with your engineering background) about your preparation and planning with automobile management while you're away on the 9-month cruise.

Nancy here as Mike is currently editing another video. We had two vehicles. One we sold. The other we have learned to our daughter and her family to use while we are away.
@@livingphase2 Terrific. Thank you for the feedback. We enjoy your videos and Traci and I watch them together when available. Traci is hopeful we can visit Ushuaia "The End of the World" and Antartica!
OK, so if I ever gave myself credit for travel organization....I was wrong! I'm learning a ton from you both on preparing for some future travel my wife and I are thinking. Be well and thanks for the videos
Thank you so much!
I just watched you on my big screen TV, and I have to ask you, Nancy, what brand and color is your lipstick? It looked so good on a 65-inch TV!
I wear very cheap lipstick. It’s a brand called prestige, and the color is Poppy. Glad you like it!😀
Are the binders something you put together or something provided by Royal?
We put those together over our two years planning leading up to this. Of course then we had the change in segment 3 to now going to Africa so we had to completly redo that one. 😁

Hello world cruisers.
You mentioned in your live chat that you both own a catering business. Do you do any of the cooking?
Do you have staff at your catering business, and if so, what are they doing now that you’re on your world Cruise?
I am enjoying your contact immensely. Looking forward to your African travels.❤❤
Thank you for submitting your question. We will answer that in the next video.😀
I am going to wave as you go round cape point 😃 i live an hour from cape town enjoy gguys and thank you for sharing 💝
Thanks! I will wave back!👋
Love your hair cut Nancy
Thanks!
Good morning
I wish I could have seen this live.
You can watch the replay. Sorry you missed it on live, and we will be answering all the remaining questions in an upcoming video very soon.
I tuned in late.
That’s OK. The replay is available to watch at your convenience.
Enjoy following your adventures 🌟🥂🌟
Thank you.
Love watching your journey guys, great info, fantastic visuals but really wish you had a more appealing looking background
Just curious you have to put a credit card on file for cruises. Are they billing your credit card (for example : internet, things bought, special food) weekly? Monthly? Did you set up a deposit? And how much do you feel you are spending on top of the base cruise price. Sorry if this is to personal just curious because one day I want to do a world cruise. You have inspired me 😊

@@livingphase2 thank you
We Love Watching
Thank you!
I’m so jealous! Have a great time! We will be watching.
How about tshirts that say
”The Ultimate world cruise watchers”. Lol
Ha ha. That is a great idea. Wish we would have thought of it a year ago!
Watching the replay, Hi from Albany Oregon
Thank you!
Watching replay from NY! Missed it by an 1hr forgot about it and when I remembered you were just signing off!😢
The replay is available now for you to watch at your leisure.
Hmmm...that's interesting that RC keeps your passport. In my experience, we've been places where our passport was needed for high end shopping as well as catching ferries if they happened to go to other countries (which we have done on cruises)...and what about hotels, I know you mentioned staying out at some of the ports, wouldn't a passport be needed for check in's?
If we need them, we can always ask for the back. And Royal knows when we need them on shore
@@livingphase2 ah...makes sense
I really enjoy your channel. I kinda thought the drama was made up just for the tic tok to grab followers and likes. I’ve cruised over 20 times, mostly on royal, and know that most of what’s being said on social media can’t really even be a thing. Ship flooding? Out of food and wine? Fighting? Not realistic. But it definitely gets ppl that don’t know cruising to pay attention. Thx for the live. Hope I can catch the next one. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for watching period there is very little drama on board and if there happens to be, we just stay far away from it.
Check what you say at 49:44. I laughed out loud. I think you meant meclizine...not mescaline. And as for Meclizine, I thought that was one that didn't make you sleepy? My friend swears by it for it's effectiveness and because she doesn't get drowsy. (I am a lucky one, so far; I've never been seasick.)
Really enjoying your video. I'm 20 minutes from the end.
Yes, that was certainly a slip up on our part and it’s correct it’s meclizine. 😂😂Thank you so much for following along.
My honeymoon was also on Song of America.
Great memories!
Do you plan to ship some stuff back home at any point?
What happens if you break your glasses?
Thank you for submitting your question. We will answer that in the next video.😀
I used to work on RC Voyager of the seas in the restaurant ....i actually brought it out in the maiden voyage and beyond .....I would love to see you involve some waiters and waitresses to get their background stories ....I think your channel is awesome , love you guys ....we used to work 16 hours a day with one port off a week ( 5 hours ) so really hard ...but best years of my life x so seeing the staff is awesome especially learing about their life x
That is a really good idea and some thing we haven’t really talked about. I’ll discuss it with Mike and see if there’s something we can come up with. Thanks!
Watching replay. Hi from Australia.
Thank you!
How do you keep track of excursions you lost and getting money back.
Mike keeps a pretty thorough spreadsheet with lots of notes. He’s done a great job of keeping track of everything and all has balanced out perfectly.
Did you get international health insurance through the cruise line or through a private provider?
We got our health insurance through our travel insurance, which was travel guard for this trip.
Yes see and hear you...Hello😊
Darn, I missed live video. My sister in law is on with you. Hope you all are having a blast.
Next time! Be sure to have her say hi and yes we're having a great time. 😄
@@livingphase2 I gave her your names, told to to find you. Blessings
I love your videos! I watched the live Q&A, but next time if you could read what the people are asking you, before you answer, it would be easier to follow. But thank you for doing this!!!
Yes. I agree when I was watching it back. We will definitely do that the next time.
