I was on another ship in Nassau when we saw the Venezia. It had just been rebranded from Costa. They repainted the hulls but fortunately Costa starts with C so they didn't have to change the funnels.
Hey , have a great cruise ! Matthew and I are boarding in the morning on the Carnival Horizon to the ABC islands. Hope to see you all soon on another cruise
Wow! I did not realize how the layout was just exactly like the Vista class ships! It really looked so familiar to our cruise we were just on a week ago on the Carnival Vista! We even had many of the same dinner selections. It was great to see you and Matthew hanging out with so many of our cruise friends!! Praying for Sharon's momma.
Hey Jaime and Matthew, have a great Cruise! Enjoy all the FUN, food, entertainment and Port Calls!! Nice to see a "Father and Son" Cruise. Sorry Sharon and Kayla couldn't make it. 😎⛹️♀️🚴♂️🤸♂️
I must try the Firenze while it's in Long Beach. The problem is always that parking structure since we drive to the port. I must convince the husband to bite the bullet and book! Thanks for this great video.
That parking structure is horrible and cannot handle the amount of passengers with the cruise ships there. We got stuck parking at the convention center last time.
It seems as though Carnival is constantly changing the parking and boarding process. That's why I look at these vids right before every cruise. Thanks for making this one!
Hey...I think I know a couple of your friends. That Larry guy! Sub mustard for donkey sauce and save about 150 calories but kudos to you for your weight loss!! Sharon was very missed!
Awesome video!Hub and I are cruising on this ship Nov 9 :) never cruised before and I’m super excited. I loved how friendly you two are and really appreciate the info about getting dropped off at queen mary. Does everyone have to drop luggage at the porter? Where is that relative to QM?
Thanks!!! You can carry on smaller bags, like at the airport, but if they are too big for an x-ray machine, you will have to check them. Porters are just across the street from the cruise terminal entrance, so pretty close and convenient.
I’m actually going to use your tip regarding about going pull into the queen mart parking lot as well and I’m wondering if you do see this message how far or close can you pull up to the dome with a car when you pull up into the queen mart lot
How far is it from that port to where NCL ships leave out of? Sailing from there in November. Any tios of an affordable place to stay close to port would be appreciated. Happy sailing
Port of Los Angeles is about 10 minutes away from Port of Long Beach. You could stay in Long Beach night before, or look for a spot closer in San Pedro.
Sitting at the bar? Is he old enough? My husband and I sat at a bar to wait for a table to open. But they told us our son couldn't sit there cuz he was only 17.
Hard to believe a cruise professional is telling everyone to open the corridor doors before the posted time. Give the room attendants and porters the time and space to do their jobs, and have a little patience!
Jay, it's not an entitlement in the way you are meaning. It's a Perk for being Loyal to the Cruise Line..just like having a separate Guest Services line, and getting priority tenders on tender port days, priority online check in, priority dining reservations and getting priority embarkation and disembarkation. Almost every business offers perks for their repeat customers, and that is just one of the perks.
Good job Jamie and Matthew!
Matthew is so darn handsome. The girls ( young and not so young)must be swooning!😊
Love the vblog. Good to see father and son hanging out. Enjoy your cruise. Praying for Sharon and her Mom❤
Great tour Jamie. Our best thoughs to Sharon and her Mom.
Yes porters always work hard always tip great vlog like always
Go Chargers!! Matthew sure has grown. Thanks for sharing!
Boys cruise are the best. I did 3 already with my sons and it was great. Hoped you enjoyed this precious time with your son!
What a great first day! And I did not know about the QM tip so thanks for that. Oh that Jose cracks me up😅
Nice job Jamie and Matthew!!!!🎉
Nice, relaxed low-key presentation.
Love seeing the guys living the cruise life! Always miss seeing Sharon and Callie! Nothing better than when the whole gang is together!❤

We have a boarding time this Saturday at 11:00a. I’m not expecting to board much before 1:00. It is what it is. I’m on vacation.
Father and Son Cruise! Good for you guys.
Hey , have a great cruise ! Matthew and I are boarding in the morning on the Carnival Horizon to the ABC islands. Hope to see you all soon on another cruise
Sailing on her August 24th. Super excited! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tip about drop off at Long Beach. It can be a nightmare getting in there.
I must try the Firenze while it's in Long Beach. The problem is always that parking structure since we drive to the port. I must convince the husband to bite the bullet and book! Thanks for this great video.

Hey guys Happy Mother’s Day Sharon sending prayers to you and your mom hope she feels better soon

Oh my, those two completely unsupervised! 😆🤪

Very nice father and son cruise love 💕 it thanks for sharing
We are staying on the Queen Mary before we board the Firenze on October. So excited
Sister to the Venezia. Thanks for sharing.
Looks fun!!! Have tons of fun!!! I’m scheduled to go in October😊
Very great video and wonderful information. So excited will be on her in October.
We are going Nov 9 :) I love how we can watch videos and prepare beforehand
Definitely getting Carnival Horizon vibes..But with more style.. & I’m here for it! I’d be interested in sailing on her 😎 Looking forward to more!
I get on in 11 days, looking forward to it.
Kind of funny you consider what you got at Guy’s “healthy”! 😉
Looks delicious, though!
That is cute he said Charger blue..lol enjoyed your vlog
Guys burger to always start a carnival cruise!!
Excited to be boarding soon. We were on Venezia in January and I'm looking forward to another Italian Fun Style cruise.
Looks really nice
Always ready for some carnival fun
Hey...I think I know a couple of your friends. That Larry guy! Sub mustard for donkey sauce and save about 150 calories but kudos to you for your weight loss!! Sharon was very missed!
Great information wife and I also from AZ and schedule to go on this ship in the Fall
Fun Video You Guys!
Great video!
I want that shirt 🤣🤣
I was on the first sailing, debarkation started at 9:00, wasn’t out of the terminal at 10, almost missed my plane
You should have scheduled your flight later
omg, its so pretty and fancy. I'll be on it on August 24th and I cannot wait
I'll also be on the same cruise Aug. 24th
How did it go??? We go on Nov 9th :)

Great job guys…
Going on this may 16th-21st 😎
You caught Dee and Jay from ParoDeeJay in front of the Italian restaurant
Love this vid..love the father/son cruise..glad Jamie u were able to handle the business without Sharon. Great job!
It was challenging without Sharon there, for sure!!!
Hello Jamie and Matthew...WOW Matthew, you've become a very handsome man...😉😉😉 Sharon, i hope you're doing ok🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video
Thanks!
I’m actually going to use your tip regarding about going pull into the queen mart parking lot as well and I’m wondering if you do see this message how far or close can you pull up to the dome with a car when you pull up into the queen mart lot
You will be very close no matter where you get dropped off by the Queen Mary...
How long of a walk is it from the QM to the cruise ship?
It's about 100 yards!!! It's very close and easy to do with luggage. Thanks for watching!!!
Come on! the Chargers lol

Go ducks 🐤🐤🐤🐥!! LoL
I love how; @thiscruiselife photobombed you.
Yeah I saw that too! 😅
Sitting at the bar? Is he old enough? My husband and I sat at a bar to wait for a table to open. But they told us our son couldn't sit there cuz he was only 17.
Was that on Firenze?? We sat at the bar together a few times..maybe he just looks old enough to not ask.
Wassup
Mmmmmm ...Costa designed ships look like you're in a tunnel ALL THE TIME! Not for me!
Hard to believe a cruise professional is telling everyone to open the corridor doors before the posted time. Give the room attendants and porters the time and space to do their jobs, and have a little patience!
Apparently you didn't hear what he said. Diamond, platinum, suites and FTTF are allowed to go to their room and drop their bags off.
@@christaborcherdt8142 apparently I believe it’s an entitlement that gets in the way of workers and their work
@@jayfraser8697it’s a perk of having that status

Why are we arguing? Did no one see me breaking it down? 😂
