yes, for a fee.
Mines was free
that definitely was the exception and not the rule. I wish it were free, so many of my fam have to purchase or bring it onboard.
For $3.50
Thanks
I love all the interesting info you provide. Getting ready to go on my first cruise and have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you!
My son's are going on a 1st time cruise as a their graduation gift. Your channel has been extremely helpful!!! I have learned so much. May God continue to bless you both.
My mind went somewhere else when you said the dog was smelling your cookie...🤣🤣
Lmboooo!!
😂
Dang... I don't drink however I would smoke😂
25:57 Hey, I'm an introvert and I love cruising. I've done seven days; my next one will be eight days
I’m in my 40s never been on a cruise but thinking about going with my kids but seems like so many add ons…liquor, internet, gratuity, excursions. Seems like it’s just easier and simpler to catch a flight internationally but I’m going to look through these videos and get informed
love the tips
taking my mom 78yrs for her birthday first time cruisers
I've learned so much invaluable information from you guys before my first cruise and I've enjoyed all of your videos . Peace & Hair grease 😁
Thank you both. It's my first time cruising. It's very overwhelming. Yall Crack me up btw!
You two are AMAZING!!! Your show was PHENOMENAL! I wish I could just give you a GIANT hug! YOU NEED TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
🥰
For my next cruise (October 6-13, 2024 out of New Orleans), I had received $200 in OBC and I was able to use the entire thing towards the Bubbles for the nephew and towards FTTF with no issue.
I leave in 20 days on Mardis Gras! My bag is already fully packed 🤣🤣
Ayeeee
My family will be on the Mardi Gras in June. Our first cruise. Please share your experience, if you can. ❤
Mardi Gras May 6th 🎉
@@colletterevels-kp6yd Same! Can’t wait
Can I just say... I love you guys. I am so excited for my and my husband's Couple's Cruise with our best friends! Thank you for the videos. We need these for sure!
Have fun!
Thc... Place the thc it into a non toxic deflated🎈 balloon, tie correctly and swallow it prior to boarding onto the port, the rest you should figure it out on your own how to retrieve it...I'm old school😂😂😂 issues solved😂😂😂
Also like the Hispanic latino says,
Lo barrato siempre sale caro= the cheap comes out expensive😂😂 that is when it comes to the excursions.
Yes your on board credit can be used to purchase excursions through carnival. I purchased 2 just recently
It been years since being on a cruise, this will be approx my sixth. I use to always bring a satellite phone on with me for communication and wi-fi, though bringing my younger children this time I will get the wi-fi package for them. On the Mardi Gras, will I have to book for the arcade, or small restaurants like seafood shack, Big Chicken❓I did hear you say the ultimate playground needs reservations. I am not a big drinker, but the bubble package for my children, I will be getting this package for them as they’ll be busy running and asking for all. And I’d like to say your info is very informative for many people. Thanks for this, I’ve been forwarding your videos to family members.
Family!!!!! I’m catching up on all the lives now! These gems yall droppin is much needed! Thank you so much! Now, back to my regular scheduled program of LifeWithUsTV 💯💯💯
I do credit card disputes and ALWAYS grab your receipts!!
I was able to use my OBC towards an excursion. My first cruise is on the carnival Venezia on Juneteenth! New Yawk baby!!!😎
Your ironing hack is genius!!!! Love y’all ❤
My husband and I were leaving on august he is a heavy beer drinker is the cheers package Worth it
More than likely yes.
Maybe stress that the beverage package also includes non alcohol drinks as well. I'm not a huge drinker but I looked at what else it includes and thought it was as good option. First time cruiser. I will definitely find out for myself if it was worth it.
We have an entire vid on it. It’s still not worth it imo. You’ll spend less purchasing as you go. Just my opinion/ experience.
THANK YOU! I found your videos and I've been watching them all!! My husband and I are going on our 1st ever cruise in December and I am a planner! Your videos are so helpful!!! THANK YOU!
I'm liking yall energy. I have cruised with Carnival last year on the Horizon. I'm cruising Royal Caribbean and Carnival this year on Independence, Harmony, and Mardi Gras. I'm going to shoot your channel out when I upload my videos
I got my deal from matching my Hyatt globalist status to MGM. Got MGM gold and matched that with carnival for a free room upgrade, 200 on board credit and 50 fun play all for 356 for one person. Thanks for the answer! First time cruiser so I couldn’t decide on the room.
Very nice!
Yal don’t even know how bad I want to hug you guys and thanks for the information .. my family of 5 will be on our first carnival cruise next month and your videos were the first for me to come across and I’ve been hooked ever since. Because of your videos I feel prepared ❤
🥰
The chefs table on Celebration is very very nice well worth it
Love the way you keep it real. 😂 very clear in your delivery. Not my first cruise but have never did the Carnival cruise. Norwegian has been our choice.
Thanks so much!!
Thank you, thank you!! This has been so helpful! So much I didn't know of what can't be done and what should be done.
you guys are awesome....thanks for taking time out of your busy day to do this channel...love watching you both...yall are so real and so funny....and love the t shirts too
Our pleasure!
I have paid for excursions with my OBC just recently. Thanks
Great tips, everything you talk about is right on and accurate.
I so love yawl vibe, cruising in August 2023 on Carnival Valor, so excited. thanks so much for the information!! A real big help.
I watch theses videos before a cruise now as a checklist. It’s so easy to mess something up. Plus they have good products to buy for your cruise probably on another video. But Linette and Stanley’s videos got me through my first cruise. Thanks yawl!!!
Glad you like them!
Going on my first cruise, really appreciate you both!!
Our pleasure!
Most cruise lines will supply distilled water if you ask ahead of time
Yep for a fee
These are absolutely Great videos! I will be going on a cruise soon. 1st timer! I am taking all your advice. Thanks for sharing. Love you guys!
i thought about y'all all last week as i was on the legend. cam was our cruise director and he was AMAZING!! (i thought i remember hearing you mention him in one of your older videos but i could be wrong.) thanks for all your advice. even though i'm a seasoned cruiser, i still watch out for any of your new tips and tricks. take care!
Just found your videos!!! Love you guys!!!!!!
My wife and I have CHLs, guess what happened? she left a magazine in her purse. She was told to pick up after we returned.
You two are sooo helpful. Me and my man have our first cruise next month on NCL and I’m binge watching y’all as videos. Does Stanley always try and finish your sentences? hahaha thank you for all these tips!
We’ve been married 23 years so we finish each others at this point lol.
@@LifeWithUsTV I love it thank you for these videos!!
Your video put me at ease
I'm all packed one suitcase one backpack & now I'm told luggage can't be over 50lbs. 12 days & under 50lbs my 2 captain Ball gowns probably heaviest n take up more rm. What should I do? Solo 75yrs dragging 2 luggage n a backpack. Ahhhhhh
Cruises don’t care about the weight. Just tip the porter well.
Got it.
Sue & I Love your channel! We THANK YOU BOTH in advanced for giving us the motivation to vlog our vacations and our New Love for Cruising!!! We look forward to meeting you in the near future! Till then we will be watching!!!!
Two Grammys and a child are set to go on September 11th 2023 on the Conquest🎉❤
I am going on the Horizon on July 16th. Thank you so much Stanley and Lynette ❤❤ You are awesome. I love your video. It was so helpful. 🙏🏽❤️
I love what you guys said about the drink package. I like to drink but I figured I can not drink enough to make it worth it.
First cruise in July and I am debating the chef table because I'm a bit of a foodie but am having trouble justifying it when I know there's so much "free" food on the ship
Same hear.
Honestly the food in the main dining room is awful. Steaks like shoe leather, a chicken breast the size of your fork tines. The only really good meal we had on the Freedom was a specialty restaurant at $40.00 each. It was an anniversary for us so it was worth it. If you can afford it pay the up charge.
We do it every cruise. But we consider it an excursion...lol
@Shana Navarrett not a bad way to look at it
@@Kryshanna4263lol😂thats funny
Going on a carnival cruise this august
Thanks for all your info, the wife and I are going on our 1st cruise in December, we never had a honeymoon so we booked a western Caribbean cruise on the carnival pride with friends, your channel is very informative.
Our pleasure!
Still love watching y'all. Getting so excited for our cruise Lynette!
I love your videos! we will be going on our first cruise ever next year!
Tokyo tea in California Los Angeles area.. we call it “LA Water” we have been drinking those for so long & you can go anywhere and ask for LA Water..Those drinks will kick in and have you on a whole other level. 😂😂
Omggg…. Thanks for the heads up
Hey Fam 🤎...I missed the live but I'm watching the replay
All good
1st time cruiser. love the tips...
Hi! 👋🏽 I’m a first timer and I had a few questions
1. What is free and what do you have to pay for? The person I spoke to book with went so fast I missed some thing I know.
2. So is it ok to bring sodas or is t not ok?
3. How big can your carry in bag be?
Thank you!! Awesome videos!!
We are releasing a vid tomorrow
You have to pay for alcohol and some restaurants aren’t included with your purchase. You can bring sodas/drinks (non alcoholic) but they HAVE to be in a can. Can’t bring water in bottles. (They sell them if you needed bottled water)…. Not sure on the size luggage but they can’t be more than 50 pds.
Hi! Can y'all make a video on excursions for the Bahamas? Cost how to book when to book etc.
Going on the Vista May 13th, can't wait! Thanks so much for all your tips!
Handicap device’s rollator, (push chair) wheel chair
We’re going on carnival sunrise
Y'all are awesome
Love this
So we have our kids coming with us on our cruise that are going to be 16 & 13. Any tips and tricks for them that we should inform them of. We are some things we need to know as their parents that they or us can and can’t do. We will be going on our first carnival elation cruise in June of 2024 for my husbands 40th. Thanks for posting this I have now subscribed to your channel. You guys are awesome!
There are curfews etc. There’s no gaming ports in the back of the tvs. Otherwise go with the flow
It's late! But I hate I missed the live feed. I love you both, always giving great Information
Hello, I was looking at your 39 Cruise Tips and you named a travel perfume, what was the name? I truly enjoyed the video and your realness.
Lake and Skye 1111
I love you guys … so informative and so funny.
My CREW dropping Gems.
Thank you for the video
So glad you do these videos
Hello mr and mrs good night i am going on the carnival Legend in November next year if lives spare is Carnival Legend is a good ship 🚢
It’s a older ship that many enjoy, we personally aren’t fans 😉
Can you research what transportation is the best to get to the port from airport hotels.
I do for my clients since that’s a service which is different than us educating here 🥰
Do a separate Virgin one, please. Booked the Scarlet for July!
What date? 👀
Thank you for this video. Excellent info. Just curious where the Mr is from because I notice he keeps pronouncing next as nix
Va
(Almond milk) I asked this question for carnival valor. I was told that you have to ask for it but they couldn't tell me if it would be unsweetened or sweetened.
Carnival's site says Cheers package is available starting at 6 am the day after departing the home port for NY and TX.
Yes the day after= the next day
I love y'all! I'm an experienced cruiser, you gave great advice!
Thank you
I've been watching all of your videos on preparing for your cruise. My fiancee and I are going on our first cruise in November. I'm so excited yet hoping we are really prepared. I wasn't sure what to wear during that month.
I am as well!! 🎉
I’ve been watching these videos like crazy, lol!!
Hope you have a wonderful time ❤
Watching again on 7-29-2024❤
Love see ur comments ❤
🎉🎉 you guys are the greatest 🎉🎉🎉
thank you for all the great info.... will be first time cruise in aug 2023
I've been binge watching and getting so excited about my 1st cruise! Tuesday carnival cancelled my 8a balcony room in error....then they said there were no balcony rooms available. I was furious bc i booked in october! After complaining they booked me bl-balcony...guaranteed balcony. I no longer trust them. Do you think I will actually get a balcony room?
If it’s a guarantee balcony you should get it.
My son is on the Spectrum and love RUclips and Pintrest. Which WiFi package is best?
Premium 🥰
Thanks for your channel 😊
Should love to catch you live! Question: How much does it typically cost to use a travel agent versus booking cruises myself?
It depends on the agent. We set our own prices
Mr and Mrs can u do a video on dyalisis patients and people who need scooter or wheelchair to get around on a cruise...it would be appreciated...ps I love your channel
Thank u soooo much !!! I’m super excited but on a budget. What do u suggest for the excursion for a 7 yr old and 18 yr.
Allegedly they throw it away! 😂😂
That part!! 😂😂
You guys are so awesome. Thank you for all the information!! ❤
Our pleasure!
What y’all recommend on the excursion to go to in Montego Bay and Grand Cayman
Any of the catamarans or party excursions
Iron all of your clothes on the first day
What size do your carry-on bag have to be is it a standard size duffle bag or book bag
Hello Is the faster to fun pass worth getting
hey
They will drink it happily! I got in a little trouble 😂
Is it allowed to bring a curling irons and hair straightener?
Yes
How do I know what time to book excursions? What are the times you are in port? How do u get from the boat to the excursion? Any other info on that?
All of that info is in your cruise manager account
Can I bring back rum/ food items from other ports of call back onto the ship?
Yea good question
Yes, food is no problem. For me anyway. But any liquor will be held until night before you disembark. Be mindful if you open it you will have to finish it or discard it. Can't take open alcohol off the ship.
Love y’all. Thank you for sharing your experiences and expertise. Greatly appreciated as a first time cruise I didn’t have a clue until watching your videos.
You mentioned no cbd products but I have a script for a ketamine cream, would this be safe to pack?
Nope
Hey thanks for the heads up…. Can we bring drinking water?
No
How do you pack your wine or sodas for your cruise
Carry on the cruise check it for flights
Do you have a video about declaring things from the ports like alcohol for example….& the process & step you will have to take?
We don’t 🥲
Hello I’ve been binge watching all ur videos. I’m going on my first carnival cruise to Mexico in June. Thank u so much for the tips. I do have a question. Is my 7yr old required to be vaccinated now. If so is there an exemption we should apply for.
Heyyyy, thank you. No vaccination requirements anymore 🥰
Are we able to bring caprisuns for kids or is it just cans
Cartons and cans only
