Closest thing i ever did to a cruise was book a room on a cargo ship from Shanghai to Seattle. 18 days at sea, 4 passengers, 30 crew on a 900ft container ship. Weather was surprisingly nice on the Bering Sea in June and its the ultimate form of peace and isolation you can get while also actively traveling from point A to B.
Bulbous bow (which is what Tyler described) is for fuel efficiency moving through the water. Stabilizers (which is what April mentioned) are an entirely different thing, and extend out like wings, from the center of the ship, underwater. These are 2 completely different things. A bulbous bow cannot malfunction. Stabilizers that fail to deploy, sure, that can break.
Sorry Hover,,,Carnaval Cruse Lines own most of the cruse lines! And breakdowns can happen to any cruise line. I have been on 9 cruises and Carnival is definitely the most fun👍🏻
Tyler is right that you get what you pay for. Never go on cheap cruise lines. Viking cruises are amazing. They don't pack 5000 people on a ship. It is less than 1000 and the crew to passenger ratio is the best in the industry.
Just got back from a carnival cruise last month, and I'd go again in a heartbeat, unfortunately it wasnt $400 like hoovie said, or i would live on the boat.
As someone who's in the cruise industry, you're cherry picking a handful out literally 200,000 cruises. Like the poop flight from hell a few weeks ago doesn't mean air travel is horrible. A cruise is 20 times more clean than your land based restaurant. Why? Every piece of machinery in the galley is USPH certified. All new cruises have HVAC systems due to COVID and have COVID procedures now. There are literally thousands of crew members cleaning the vessel while you're sleeping. A few tips, Virgin Cruises is 18 and over with made to order food. DO NOT go onto a Carnival ship unless your in your 20's and want to party. If too many people are an issue, find an expedition vessel like Lindblad Expeditions where there are 150 people onboard. You can hang with the Captain, doors the bridge are open and they take you to a place where everyone does an excersion together. There are a ton of options. You won't get sick a large vessel, you have no clue you're even moving.
I have to agree with April about feeling confined & worried about being seasick the whole time. I do like the idea of the European river cruises on smaller boats - but the idea of an ocean cruise on a 300 meter long ship with thousands of people crammed onto it - for me, stuff of nightmares.
I went to Antartica on Ponant in 2019. Nice small ship and thew bridge was open all the time for you to visit and see how the ship worked. My dad talked propulsion (he's a retired naval architect). Overall a great cruise on a nice small ship.
I was on a cruise to Sydney Australia some years ago. Every night, drunken Australians were getting into knockdown, drag-out flights and every time we were in port, a number of them were kicked off the ship. It was a running joke during the cruise. I would watch the dock when we tied up and there was always the walk of shame as these people were kicked out and handed over to the local police.
I can see why people might like it, but It's just weird for me to be trapped with 5k people on a huge boat. Only seeing small snippets of the countries we are visiting. Personally I rather go there and spend time there.
My uncle goes on cruises and sometimes doesn't even get off the boat. He sailed to Dubrovnik, one of the most beautiful historical cities on Earth, but stayed on the ship to drink his unlimited booze.
Tyler is right on the money not to take you on a commodity-level cruise for your first experience. He's looking out for you. You'll love the ship and itinerary.
The only cruise we went on, many years ago, when they found out I was a marine engineer, they upgraded our cabin and asked if I could help them fix some stuff on the ship. Turned out that my wife had a pretty good time in first class accommodations and perks, while I spent 6 fun filled days in the bowels of the ship making corrective adjustments to things they didn't know how to do correctly. Didn't exactly inspire confidence that they were so clueless about so many essential systems. Just lucky that most of them worked most of the time. I always like the characterization of a cruise: stuck in a cheap motel room / everything worth doing is too crowed to make it doable / anti-seasick meds and alcohol don't behave well together / like a resort where all the staff wishes you'd go away and not come back.
You mentioned many more cruise lines than Carnival but you are busting on them. Carnival has great cruises, never had one issue, except the ice cream ran out. 😂
That was funny. She spends the whole video trying to convince him that cruises are white trash vacations and he finishes up by showing her the "private jet" of cruise ships he wants to take her on and her entire resistance collapses in an instant. 😂 😂
You missed the Royal Majesty from Boston to Bermuda, I was on it. On the way back to Boston, while eating dinner, I felt the ship hit something and heard the motors roaring, forwards and back. I looked at everyone and said "we're stuck", they all thought I was nuts. Yep, we were stuck, the captain drove us onto a sandbar. The ship started listing and it took a full moon and 7 tug boats the next night to get us out. I got a free extra day of the cruise, but they were ruining out of food fast, we even had sharks circling the ship, it was nuts...
If you take the cruise, spend a few days in Venice. The city is just magical. The canals at night, the art work, the architecture and the food. I spent a week in Venice and I'd like to go back. I have done over 30 cruises some of them transatlantic crossings. Some of them 3 night on Carnival and others 14 night European cruises on Celebrity. I'd love to get back on a ship anytime I can.
The bulbus bow reduces drag. The stabilizers are fins that extend about 45° from the hull that articulate via hydraulics to help keep the ship as steady as possible.
I have been one one cruise. Decided it's not for me , my biggest complaint is dumping several thousand people off on an island , multiple cruise ships at the same place and same time. I guess the locals appreciate the business. We were with our own small group of friends and when we stopped in Jamaica , I got us all together and hired a driver with a mini bus from around the corner of the terminal. We had a great day, saw some things sort of off the regular tourist route, met some awesome locals. Best day of the cruise, but I doubt seriously I'll ever do another.
I love how April quickly changed her tune when she saw those sails...lol $4.6 million is likely no more than a single tank of diesel and possibly even less. As for the stabilizers, just about every yacht over 45 feet has a stabilizer. The purpose isn't to keep it from falling over it's to counteract the rolling caused by waves. Meanwhile Hoovie thinks the bulbous bow is the stabilizer when it's actually there to alter the waveform of the hull, increasing the speed a displacement hull can travel at. The cruise ship that lost a stabilizer had fin stabilizers and lost control of one side causing the ship to list to that side.
Did a Princess cruise to Alaska in 2013. That was my first and only time I will do a cruise. I was motion sick the first full day, while we were out in the open Pacific. The only thing memorable from the trip was doing the "shore excursions", including a dog camp in Skagway and the train ride into the Yukon. The ship was very clean, and the crew was extremely serious about keeping it that way.
Tyler is describing graphically a bulbous bow which does help somewhat with stability, but is primarily for efficiency. Large cruise ship stabilizers are wings that come out from the sides of the ship. Some smaller ships have gyroscopic stabilizers that stabilize the ship in the same way as a Segway scooter.
For several years my wife has been hounding me to go on a cruise with her, and just like April I am always adamantly against it for several reasons that April talked about here. I love the sea and boats, but I can't bring myself to be stuck at sea with thousands of people on a giant floating building, and I really can't understand why my wife wants to do this when she really (and I mean REALLY) doesn't like large groups of people. Hoovie, you're a class act. You totally deserve April.
We've been on four cruises: Celebrity to Alaska (2000 passengers), Avalon Rhein River (120 passengers), Viking Danube River (100 passengers), Viking Ocean Cruise around Scandanavia (750 passengers). These cost a lot more money, but it is sooo much nicer. Next trip is March, 2025 to South America around Cape Horn on Viking. Then the next one is to Antarctica on Viking.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the cruise my wife planned for our honeymoon. And it was a Carnival Cruise. The food was the best part. Take Ginger pills to prevent seasickness
Venice is the worst place to go in Italy. Unless you like thousands of people crammed into tight areas and insane price gouging. I've been twice because my wife insisted on seeing it, and afterwards we were on the same page.
I was on St Kitts and watched a cruise ship like you want to take April on. It was a beautiful sight to see. All the sails go up at once, a beautiful sight to see. This ship was very exclusive The amenities were unbelievable, and I thought I was staying nice! I'm an ex-sailor so would have liked my Navy ship to have been as nice.
The median age for a cruise ship is 47, so it's not just us old folks. Maybe they're trisks and the younger ones die in a moment of passion! Good way to screen for heart disease. The Villages in FL are huge retirement areas and STDs run ramphant. Wonder what the STD rate is on cruise ships? SpaaceX hears the ship passenger say, "You're in a holding pattern, Elon, I'm waiting to launch my heat seeking moisture missle after 27 1/2 years of waiting!"
Thankfully never had a bad experience. Weelllll one of the times we went Alaska the open sea was wild. Everyone was being thrown side to side and ppl throwing up😂but I had a great time!
Our experience with cruise doctors is they get you off the ship at the next stop because they're really just there to pass out bandaids and aspirin. That hasn't stopped us from doing five more cruises since then.
My rule of thumb is to never step foot on a boat that I'm not allowed to be a skipper of. Bareboat charter a yacht in the British Virgin Islands. A much better experience than a germ-infested cruise ship.
Don’t confuse the bulbous bow with stabilizers. They are very different and do different things. Bulbous bow is for fuel efficiency. Stabilizers are fins that twist and keep the boat from rocking with the ocean waves.
I went on a cruise to the islands around Tahiti. Our plane landed late so the ship couldn't avoid the worst storm in four years. I've been on plenty of boats from 14' to 75' yachts and never been seasick but that first night was hell. I was throwing up every few minutes. Everyone was literally green tinged at the emergency drill the next morning. I have to admit the rest of the cruise more than made up for it.
I'm eating my lunch as you guys are talking about chunking, lol. Every video I see now of April, I'm liking her more and more. Honestly, I judged her first few times on BJ, as she took over for my friend Cristy Lee. She has become so much cooler to me with her attitude and how she speaks. As they say, don't judge a book by the cover. You guys are a riot.
April, I served on an air craft carrier( another city on the ocean) from personal experience I can tell you that you don't feel the motion of the ocean on a boat that big... js lol
ive been on a few cruises mostly with NCL and i like them. as long as you dont spend too much time in you cabin which can be kinda small you probably wont feel claustrophobic, modern cruise ships are very stable and you get comfortable with the small amount of movement. with all the crap that the carnival group gets up to just avoid them costa is also part of carnival. dont go near a ship doctor unless you are dying because they can force you to be locked in ur cabin covid style even pre covid i was on a cruise and a family we met had a kid that wasnt feeling well and the locked out his key card so he couldnt do anything out side his room and they had the housekeeping staff keeping an eye on him. Crystal cruises was going under i think theyve be restructured cuz i saw that ship in st thomas in january. NCL doesnt offer the drink package on the pride cruises cuz people have gotten so hammered in the past. being on a cruise ship in big seas is actually really fun if you embrace it. windsurf is so cool
I went on a cruise back in 2004 when i was like 15 and it was the absolute time of my life. Still to this day 20 years later it's the #1 best vacation I've ever been on. The only bad thing that happened was the elevators on the ship were malfunctioning. But I've been afraid of elevators since I was a kid so I never got on one anyways 😆😆😆
As a former destroyer and cruiser sailor in the US Navy I have had enough of the ocean. I loved it out there but cruise ships just seem like Vegas at sea.
Ok so Tyler enjoy the cruise and I'll keep April happy until you return. No, NOT that way....just enjoying spending time with her and Neelix. LOL Ok so April, I'll go with Tyler on that cruise and Neelix will keep you company until we get back. Nice one Tyler!! That looks great!! HAHA No NOT that way!. HAHA
I've done quite a few cruises, just got back from an Alaska cruise which was great..some old folks on board, but lots of 30, 40 year olds..no cruises are perfect, but none of mine were bad at all..
Tyler that is not necessarily true. Carnival has the biggest fleet and makes it affordable for the average person. Tell April it’s worth the chance. Try a 3 or 4 day.
Been on one cruise, terrible experience. It was a lower cost Carnival cruise and before we left port we could see how it was going to be as kids were already running around at will and causing problems. Found out while at see that 70% of the boat was under the age of 16. Could never get in to the pool, was packed with kids. Kids running up and down halls sounding like herds of elephants day and night. I could go on. Was not relaxing at all. Only adult only area was tucked in the stern below main deck and was hotter than hell with no airflow.
My wife and I cruised on Royal Caribbean. Oasis of the Seas from Cape Liberty to Orlando and Nassau and their private island. And it was HEAVEN. Smooth sailing. No seasickness. Even through a little storm. Everything was fun. April, take it from fellow Chicagoans: cruising on a good cruise line is wonderful. Tyler: if you convince her then you can book RC.
Cruise ships require you to complete a health questionnaire before you board and everyone needs to be healthy enough to travel so the Medical facility on the ships don't often see any serious issues and mostly they have seasick patients, or scraps and bruises due to falls on the stairs.
I've only been on one cruise, back in '08 when I proposed to my now wife. It happened to be a Carnival cruise, and one of the last for that ship before it was sold to another company. I had no bad experiences (other than feeling some rocking on the first night only), it was visibly clean, nice stops, etc. That said - I'm not going back. For the same money as a decent cruise, I can go to an all-inclusive resort and we enjoy that more.
Before any extremity of the body “falls off” there’s always an infection that starts at the sight which also will be painful and include a fever and most likely nausea. So, that person must have ignored a fever, nausea, high heart rate, and a bad and growing infection at the sight of the injection for days long before gangrene set in. All that without going to the emergency room.
Princess does overnight cruises between Vancouver BC and Seattle WA. This one is known as the party cruise. Princess has admitted that they sell more liquor on this overnight cruise than they do on most two-week cruises. If you like to party, it's a ton of fun.
The reason that spaces open up at care homes is also only because the previous tenants died and most likely in the room. People die all the time and that isn't something that should make you feel nervous about cruising.
Cruise ships post their course a week in advance and send copies to the Coast Guard who are supposed to inform them of any temporary are closures due to rocket launches which get rescheduled constantly.
Cruising attracts a disproportionate number of highly, morbidly obese people, which is just shocking as they line up at the elevators and the dessert buffet. It doesn't surprise me that noroviruses spread like crazy, because there's no way people that can barely move are able to clean themselves properly.
If you want to see a great cruise review, You tuber Jeb Brooks and his wife Suzanne sailed on the Queen Mary 2 in a nice stateroom from NYC to Southampton, England. That's a classy ship and Cunard is one of the best lines in the world. Cunard is a little stuffy with dress requirements for dinner. The ship Tyler picked would make a great honeymoon trip.
I love cruising and you can't convince me otherwise.
Touché
Can you bring a dismantled P1 into your cruise cabin?
Tavarish, could you convince Hoovie and April to switch chairs? Give April a tennis racket. What a super right hand back swing. :)
they're talking about cruising on a boat, not cruising in one of your cars.
nasty, too many people, in too little space...cruising in a car is a wonderful thing...
April: I'll never go on a cruise. (Spends 20 minutes explaining why)
Tyler: This one has sails
April: OK, I'll go.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's how ya flip em!
Hoovie buys the cheapest cars in the US and thinks Nelix is dirty?
Remember, you sat in the seats of the Metharati.
Not to speak of a seat paris hilton was in!👀🫨👍🏻
she saw sails, heard Italy, and pulled the fastest 180 in history
Closest thing i ever did to a cruise was book a room on a cargo ship from Shanghai to Seattle. 18 days at sea, 4 passengers, 30 crew on a 900ft container ship. Weather was surprisingly nice on the Bering Sea in June and its the ultimate form of peace and isolation you can get while also actively traveling from point A to B.
How was the food? I have heard that those container ships stock excellent food and employ good cooks.
Bulbous bow (which is what Tyler described) is for fuel efficiency moving through the water. Stabilizers (which is what April mentioned) are an entirely different thing, and extend out like wings, from the center of the ship, underwater. These are 2 completely different things. A bulbous bow cannot malfunction. Stabilizers that fail to deploy, sure, that can break.
Dude your trying to explane science and function to a blonde stupid model and a guy that looks for the most broke cars on earth to buy!
This is correct. Regards: 26 year veteran seaworker.
Came here to say the same thing! Lol
Sorry Hover,,,Carnaval Cruse Lines own most of the cruse lines!
And breakdowns can happen to any cruise line. I have been on 9 cruises and Carnival is definitely the most fun👍🏻
Tyler is right that you get what you pay for. Never go on cheap cruise lines. Viking cruises are amazing. They don't pack 5000 people on a ship. It is less than 1000 and the crew to passenger ratio is the best in the industry.
Just got back from a carnival cruise last month, and I'd go again in a heartbeat, unfortunately it wasnt $400 like hoovie said, or i would live on the boat.
Giving away a bunch of free ice cream could also mean one of the freezers broke.
Watching a GMYT video about cruise nightmares and an ad comes on for ... you guessed it - a cruise line! Too funny.
Same here! You beat me to the comments section... by about a month. 😂

Honestly this one comment has more info then most cruise line websites

I would watch the dock when we tied up and there was always the walk of shame as these people were kicked out and handed over to the local police.
I love cruising! Had an 11 day cruise one time and that one was a bit long though.
I can see why people might like it, but It's just weird for me to be trapped with 5k people on a huge boat. Only seeing small snippets of the countries we are visiting.
Personally I rather go there and spend time there.
My uncle goes on cruises and sometimes doesn't even get off the boat. He sailed to Dubrovnik, one of the most beautiful historical cities on Earth, but stayed on the ship to drink his unlimited booze.
@@drunkenhobo8020 I visited Dubrovnik, and that's just sad to hear.
It's so beautiful there.
Used cruises to just visit places then got to flying to those places that we liked and stayed a week or so there.
Tyler is right on the money not to take you on a commodity-level cruise for your first experience. He's looking out for you. You'll love the ship and itinerary.

Dying is never recommended, but cruising is awesome. We like Princess Cruises. Nice and quiet and seems like a good value.
I book at least 2 cruises a year and I think that they are the most relaxing way to have a vacation.
The ice cream story alone has made me swear off cruises
You mentioned many more cruise lines than Carnival but you are busting on them. Carnival has great cruises, never had one issue, except the ice cream ran out. 😂

I have done over 30 cruises some of them transatlantic crossings. Some of them 3 night on Carnival and others 14 night European cruises on Celebrity. I'd love to get back on a ship anytime I can.
Love it, Hoovie managed to instantly flip April with the cruise 🤣
He is a former "used car salesman". 😁
She flipped so quickly, good girl April.. 😊
This channel has improved so much. Just what I needed to see before going on a cruise this summer.
Hoovie had a good childhood growing up. I respect a 16yr old boy going on a cruise with his grandma. Your Good guy.
Nice recovery! Tyler well played. Got to watch out for those mid-western guys.
That cruise really can cost you an arm and a leg.
My parents first cruise cost my mother her life.
I must say...I really enjoy this channel and the daily updates. You two make a great couple!
The bulbus bow reduces drag. The stabilizers are fins that extend about 45° from the hull that articulate via hydraulics to help keep the ship as steady as possible.
Hoovie ragging on Nissan Altima drivers, 5 payments behind, LOL
So does this mean we are not going to see episodes of GMYT from the deck of a Cruise Ship with April modeling proper 2 piece cruise swimwear? Damn!
I have been one one cruise. Decided it's not for me , my biggest complaint is dumping several thousand people off on an island , multiple cruise ships at the same place and same time. I guess the locals appreciate the business.

$4.6 million is likely no more than a single tank of diesel and possibly even less. As for the stabilizers, just about every yacht over 45 feet has a stabilizer. The purpose isn't to keep it from falling over it's to counteract the rolling caused by waves. Meanwhile Hoovie thinks the bulbous bow is the stabilizer when it's actually there to alter the waveform of the hull, increasing the speed a displacement hull can travel at. The cruise ship that lost a stabilizer had fin stabilizers and lost control of one side causing the ship to list to that side.

Not paying attention to the space x launch is like titanic not paying attention to the iceberg warnings

There’s “smooth,” and then there’s Hoovie. You’re my idol, bro. 👍🏻
He's apparently the most romantic man...... in Kansas. Take that Car Wizard!
For several years my wife has been hounding me to go on a cruise with her, and just like April I am always adamantly against it for several reasons that April talked about here.

Hoovie, you're a class act. You totally deserve April.
Love GMYT, listen to it on my drive to work, often chuckling to myself……but cannot help playing ‘like’ and ‘literally’ bingo…..is it just me?! 😅
We've been on four cruises: Celebrity to Alaska (2000 passengers), Avalon Rhein River (120 passengers), Viking Danube River (100 passengers), Viking Ocean Cruise around Scandanavia (750 passengers). These cost a lot more money, but it is sooo much nicer. Next trip is March, 2025 to South America around Cape Horn on Viking. Then the next one is to Antarctica on Viking.
Pretty sure April ain't up for the Cruise Scene! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Ok, this is the last time I watch your channel during lunch..... LOL
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the cruise my wife planned for our honeymoon. And it was a Carnival Cruise. The food was the best part.
Take Ginger pills to prevent seasickness
The big cruise ships I've been on are so huge and good at managing the ship's motion that you barely feel it, if at all.
Well done Hoovie!
Cruise ships are floating cesspools...count me out!...LOL
Venice is the worst place to go in Italy. Unless you like thousands of people crammed into tight areas and insane price gouging. I've been twice because my wife insisted on seeing it, and afterwards we were on the same page.
23:23 yes there are,Nebraska too
the worst thing about sea sickness is knowing that you are not going to die
going on cruses are awesome! Also just get a big ship and you're fine with motion sickness... the small ships suck but large ones are great!
I was on St Kitts and watched a cruise ship like you want to take April on. It was a beautiful sight to see. All the sails go up at once, a beautiful sight to see. This ship was very exclusive The amenities were unbelievable, and I thought I was staying nice! I'm an ex-sailor so would have liked my Navy ship to have been as nice.
Thanks for reminding me of Ghost ship
What a great RUclips channel!

April. Come over to the UK and go for a cruise on a longboat.
It'll just be you and Tyler on the boat and you won't need to worry about anything. 😀
You need to go on a Windstar cruise. It’s a boutique line with about 200 guests instead of 5000! We are also doing the windsurf but in the Caribbean
Thankfully never had a bad experience. Weelllll one of the times we went Alaska the open sea was wild. Everyone was being thrown side to side and ppl throwing up😂but I had a great time!
I'd love to hear Hoovie rank his best to worst cruise lines
I'm with hoovie. Sounds like a great story to tell. I survived a cruise incident 😅 I ain't afraid of no ghosts either
April DONT GO look what happened on the ski hill
Cats on ships are part of history.
Fun fact: while watching this video, an ad for Holland America cruise lines interrupts the video why not to go on a cruise.
Our experience with cruise doctors is they get you off the ship at the next stop because they're really just there to pass out bandaids and aspirin. That hasn't stopped us from doing five more cruises since then.

I'm eating my lunch as you guys are talking about chunking, lol. Every video I see now of April, I'm liking her more and more. Honestly, I judged her first few times on BJ, as she took over for my friend Cristy Lee. She has become so much cooler to me with her attitude and how she speaks.
As they say, don't judge a book by the cover.
You guys are a riot.
April, I served on an air craft carrier( another city on the ocean) from personal experience I can tell you that you don't feel the motion of the ocean on a boat that big... js lol
Cruising is fun, the waves and turbulence can be fun too. Been on multiple and will go on multiple more.
Might want to think about an Alaskan cruise.... Inside passage so very little seas, fantastic once-in-a-lifetime excursions...
ive been on a few cruises mostly with NCL and i like them. as long as you dont spend too much time in you cabin which can be kinda small you probably wont feel claustrophobic, modern cruise ships are very stable and you get comfortable with the small amount of movement. with all the crap that the carnival group gets up to just avoid them costa is also part of carnival. dont go near a ship doctor unless you are dying because they can force you to be locked in ur cabin covid style even pre covid i was on a cruise and a family we met had a kid that wasnt feeling well and the locked out his key card so he couldnt do anything out side his room and they had the housekeeping staff keeping an eye on him. Crystal cruises was going under i think theyve be restructured cuz i saw that ship in st thomas in january. NCL doesnt offer the drink package on the pride cruises cuz people have gotten so hammered in the past. being on a cruise ship in big seas is actually really fun if you embrace it. windsurf is so cool
last year i started watching a cruisetuber, Emma Cruises, who also get motion sick but she has medicine ready in case it happens
I went on a cruise back in 2004 when i was like 15 and it was the absolute time of my life. Still to this day 20 years later it's the #1 best vacation I've ever been on.
The only bad thing that happened was the elevators on the ship were malfunctioning. But I've been afraid of elevators since I was a kid so I never got on one anyways 😆😆😆
Cruise ships are awesome. You go to heart of citys, no traffic or riding a bus. Your hotel room follows you around
As a former destroyer sailor in the US Navy...I LOVE the open ocean!! Wish I could take my family out for a cruise.
As a former destroyer and cruiser sailor in the US Navy I have had enough of the ocean. I loved it out there but cruise ships just seem like Vegas at sea.
Ok so Tyler enjoy the cruise and I'll keep April happy until you return. No, NOT that way....just enjoying spending time with her and Neelix. LOL
Ok so April, I'll go with Tyler on that cruise and Neelix will keep you company until we get back. Nice one Tyler!! That looks great!! HAHA No NOT that way!. HAHA
I've done quite a few cruises, just got back from an Alaska cruise which was great..some old folks on board, but lots of 30, 40 year olds..no cruises are perfect, but none of mine were bad at all..
Tyler that is not necessarily true. Carnival has the biggest fleet and makes it affordable for the average person. Tell April it’s worth the chance. Try a 3 or 4 day.
Been on one cruise, terrible experience. It was a lower cost Carnival cruise and before we left port we could see how it was going to be as kids were already running around at will and causing problems. Found out while at see that 70% of the boat was under the age of 16. Could never get in to the pool, was packed with kids. Kids running up and down halls sounding like herds of elephants day and night. I could go on. Was not relaxing at all. Only adult only area was tucked in the stern below main deck and was hotter than hell with no airflow.
My wife and I cruised on Royal Caribbean. Oasis of the Seas from Cape Liberty to Orlando and Nassau and their private island. And it was HEAVEN. Smooth sailing. No seasickness. Even through a little storm. Everything was fun.
April, take it from fellow Chicagoans: cruising on a good cruise line is wonderful. Tyler: if you convince her then you can book RC.
Cruise ships require you to complete a health questionnaire before you board and everyone needs to be healthy enough to travel so the Medical facility on the ships don't often see any serious issues and mostly they have seasick patients, or scraps and bruises due to falls on the stairs.
I've only been on one cruise, back in '08 when I proposed to my now wife. It happened to be a Carnival cruise, and one of the last for that ship before it was sold to another company. I had no bad experiences (other than feeling some rocking on the first night only), it was visibly clean, nice stops, etc.
That said - I'm not going back. For the same money as a decent cruise, I can go to an all-inclusive resort and we enjoy that more.
Moral of the story: don’t take carnival 😅
Norovirus - friend just got back from a wedding in Mexico..... almost all of the parties and their guests (~100) got sick on day 2.
April is 100% right on cruises. Can't stand being stuck on a boat, massive or not.
Ship
Before any extremity of the body “falls off” there’s always an infection that starts at the sight which also will be painful and include a fever and most likely nausea. So, that person must have ignored a fever, nausea, high heart rate, and a bad and growing infection at the sight of the injection for days long before gangrene set in. All that without going to the emergency room.
They don’t store ice cream where the bodies go, they store bodies where the ice cream goes 🤔
Goodmorning! I will never cruise either.
Princess does overnight cruises between Vancouver BC and Seattle WA. This one is known as the party cruise. Princess has admitted that they sell more liquor on this overnight cruise than they do on most two-week cruises. If you like to party, it's a ton of fun.
Oh, sure, Tyler and April, on the day we decide to book our first cruise too....
The reason that spaces open up at care homes is also only because the previous tenants died and most likely in the room. People die all the time and that isn't something that should make you feel nervous about cruising.
Cruise ships post their course a week in advance and send copies to the Coast Guard who are supposed to inform them of any temporary are closures due to rocket launches which get rescheduled constantly.
I believe there are bigger chances of dying from a tornado in Kansas Then, any of those things you just mentioned😅
Cruising attracts a disproportionate number of highly, morbidly obese people, which is just shocking as they line up at the elevators and the dessert buffet. It doesn't surprise me that noroviruses spread like crazy, because there's no way people that can barely move are able to clean themselves properly.
If you want to see a great cruise review, You tuber Jeb Brooks and his wife Suzanne sailed on the Queen Mary 2 in a nice stateroom from NYC to Southampton, England. That's a classy ship and Cunard is one of the best lines in the world. Cunard is a little stuffy with dress requirements for dinner. The ship Tyler picked would make a great honeymoon trip.
