My wife and I recently started watching your videos, and we were wondering if you ever do carnival cruises? If not, what would be the reason? We hope to cruise our first with Royal this year. Thanks, Jack and Cindy
Thanks for answering our dinner time question! We definitely agree with Palo and the other restaurants very well rounded. You two definitely picked the dream team of restaurants 💯
Love your dinner time shots with the blurred background, very professional. I live in Nassau 🇧🇸 🇧🇸, hope to meet you two one day. Thank you for pronouncing Cays correctly..lol. Most other videos that Americans do, always pronounce it wrong..
We actually boarded a cruise starting on Easter Sunday (the NCL Bliss from Los Angeles to Vancouver) and there were just TONS of Easter candy ALL over the place around the ship…really High quality stuff, too
When I was on Allure next week I kept talking about how much I wanted to watch Royal Crush and Shipping Julia and my bf had no idea what I was talking about 😂I never found it on tv either!
They have concerts that the amphitheater, I think regularly. I’ve been at port a couple times over the past year and heard a concert happening as our ship was leaving!
Thank you showing the map and timing the walk to margaritaville! We didn’t go because we thought it would be a bit far and unsafe to walk. But did it feel safe to you?
I think people hate Nassau more than it deserves. It's really not bad, and I'm not talking about the new port, which feels lifeless and sanitized to me.
They hold concerts and events at the amphitheater there. Like if a chartered cruise stops there they’ll have a performance there if you were wondering.
Great dinner time question although for some reason I’m hungry. Just ate at chops on Anthem after Easter 2024 and the bacon app looked nothing like that. It was yummy though. We did a boat tour around Nassau so we could pick out our future beach mansion. The land tour after was lame so skip that.
We also visited Margaritaville in January with a day pass and were told the infinity pool was only for guests staying at the resort. The “water park” was fun for a couple hours and better than most Nassau options, but still overpriced for what it is.
Say hello to my bartender friend Dinkar if you see him on the ship! He’s mostly in the main dining room but sometimes is in Boleros and in the casino bar as well! Been on 3 different ships with him!
And I didn't want you to take any. Just leave them for the littles. Last cruise we saw some teens hide rubber duckies all over the ship, and saw adults from 30ish to 70+ taking ducks for their collection. The adults were talking about collections and how they were trying to get more this cruise than their last. Those teens were so excited about hiding them and hoping to see some little kiddos finding them, and the adults seemed selfish to be taking them. One of the kids talked with us and told us that they all meet up once a year for a cruise(6 families that the kids all met in Adventure Ocean when in 2nd grade, and they have become great friends). They bought the duckies and each brought some to hide every day of our 9 night cruise.
Don’t think you were supposed to be in that rooftop pool, we were told it was only for hotel guests unless they changed it since it appeared to be pretty dead the day you were there
Actually the entire place was never crowded in the video. The lazy river was fairly private for you. And you just looked so sweet first bringing her the tube and then, holding hands.
The port has changed so much. The government is trying to make it friendlier and safer for the guests cruising in. They are going to add a water park right by the dock. Wonder how that and the new Royal beach day pass sites will be? Looking forward to seeing them both.
It seems like port stops are getting shorter and shorter. Why on earth would sail away be at 2:30 in the afternoon? Cruise lines are so greedy for passenger money, soon they'll stop letting people off the ship at all.
I think it has to do more with getting back to Florida on a certain schedule. They said this was their last stop on this cruise and then showed the map of the cruise track. He said the speed of 22 knots, and that it was near its maximum speed. So, I don't think they could've stayed any longer there in port. But yes, I think some of the times we are in certain ports are a joke. The one time we were in San Juan from like 2pm to 11pm. Like people are going to get off for an hour before dinner, come back on the ship for dinner, and then go back into San Juan for a couple hours at night... Like yea, okay. Haha!
@@PatrickWagz San Juan has some amazing dinner venues and on the weekends you can find some street party dancing by some of the larger hotels that are open to anyone. Even an hour at a dance party is worth a San Juan stop.
We get off and even walk inside alley like walkways into courtyard shops. We feel safe. As safe as in Baltimore, or Boston, or NYC. Maybe, even a bit safer. 😉
Too bad the resort day pass was such a let-down. I think everything associated with "Margaritaville" is over-rated & rundown (their cruise line included!) The place probably wasn't crowded at all, due to the fact that it was so bad. The guy giving you the wristbands knew you by your name, probably because you were his only guests for the past week!!! 🙃
Great video, In March 2024, Boycotting Doritos ended a social media campaign with Spanish transgender influencer Samantha Hudson. Plus I am healthier now
Have you been to their other resorts? Too many to count, with lots in the states, plus lots in the islands, like Grand Turks, Belize, and the birthplace of them all Key West? Not the same as when Jimmy Buffet was alive because the thrill of having him sail in, dock, and sing a few songs no longer happens in the islands but there are some really nice resorts around. The cruise line is not supposed to be for everyone, more of a quick get away with an island party vibe. Something I may have wanted 20 years ago but am happy now with Royal and Celebrity. Remember he bought and dry docked/refurbished the old Bahamas Paradise Cruise Lines only ship Grand Classica. I am not sure if it was a wise decision financially for Buffet but it was something he always wanted to do, so he did.

Awe, Bryan getting you a raft and yall holding hands in the lazy river. So cute!

ADORABLE!!!!!

Great find for being able to get birds-eye view of Aqua show.
Love to see you both travel on Royal Caribbean!
Speeeeeeaaaking of the movie, "Titanic"
"I'll *never let go,* Jack, I'll never let go!"

Love seeing the aqua show from an upper floor. I’m going to do that next time. 😊
They have concerts that the amphitheater, I think regularly. I’ve been at port a couple times over the past year and heard a concert happening as our ship was leaving!
Great dinner time question!!!

Just curious but do u guys ever eat in the main dining room? I would love to see your reviews on MDR food.
Love this review of Margaritaville. I was going to book it yet….not now.
I think people hate Nassau more than it deserves. It's really not bad, and I'm not talking about the new port, which feels lifeless and sanitized to me.
Margaritaville is not bad at all ! Was there with the family this past February ! You can’t beat the price and how close it is to the port !
I'd love to know if you were to continue building your perfect ship, what features and activities would it have on board?
Dinner time question. Do either of you ever perform karaoke on the boat and if so, what are your favorite songs?
Dinner time question would you ever consider an around world cruise and if so, on what cruise line would you pick and why
They hold concerts and events at the amphitheater there. Like if a chartered cruise stops there they’ll have a performance there if you were wondering.

You're makin me so excited for our April Ascent!
Palo!!! That one is on my bucket list haha!
So funny, we were there 3 weeks ago, and we liked it. Which I guess was a couple weeks after you went.
How early were you there? There was no one at any pools. I may be going next year. I thought it looked pretty nice.
We also visited Margaritaville in January with a day pass and were told the infinity pool was only for guests staying at the resort. The “water park” was fun for a couple hours and better than most Nassau options, but still overpriced for what it is.
Hello. Today, we are on Jewel of the Seas A sea day between Dover England and Inverness Scotland.
What about Park 150? I thought you guys loved it?
Yayyyy new video!
Is the pool, those 2 slides and the beach free?
No mention of Samba Grill for your top restaurants?
Say hello to my bartender friend Dinkar if you see him on the ship! He’s mostly in the main dining room but sometimes is in Boleros and in the casino bar as well! Been on 3 different ships with him!
I was hoping to see what was inside the eggs.
Same here!

@@SandyToes75 I just wanted to see what was in it, not for them to keep them.

I would have to add Park 150 to that mix!
It's not a surfing simulator its a wake boarding simulator.
Hope you guys have fun i’m going the Monday!

I never get off in Nassau. It’s been years 😂 Going to try on next cruise. Wish we were all back on Icon.
We got off just to check it out. Lasted 15 mins and went back to the ship. :D
The port has changed so much. The government is trying to make it friendlier and safer for the guests cruising in. They are going to add a water park right by the dock. Wonder how that and the new Royal beach day pass sites will be? Looking forward to seeing them both.

@@SandyToes75 Oh thanks. I'll keep that info in mind, if I ever find myself back in San Juan with a later stop. What about safety after dark?
@@PatrickWagzmost cruiselines are cutting time in ports. Nothing to do with getting back in time its def a cost saving measure.
WHAT WAS IN THE EGGS!?
Pick up an egg!!
❤
what’s Nassau like now that many countries including the US have published travel higher level advisories and warnings about the port and town
I live in Nassau 🇧🇸 it’s safe.
We get off and even walk inside alley like walkways into courtyard shops. We feel safe. As safe as in Baltimore, or Boston, or NYC. Maybe, even a bit safer. 😉
15:07 those are called "jojos" or potato wedges
Giovanni’s is ok, I personally think Jamie’s is better on royal
That margaritaville place looks like a dump.
Too bad the resort day pass was such a let-down.

Not surprised that the resort was a let down. Have you seen their cruise ships? 🤣😒🫤
