You two are just the cutest and most fun cruising couple I’ve ever seen! And when you referred to something as “your jam” I knew you were kind of people. I’m so glad I came across your videos and will be watching faithfully now. Thanks for all of the great info on the world cruise - how you approached it - and how you’re enjoying it. 😀🛳💦💦💦💦
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for following along on our journey!
You looked beautiful in the white one shoulder dress Nancy !!! And Mike was so handsome. Lovely couple 💕💕💕💕 but you guys are stars in organization 🎉
Thanks so much!
I just found your vlog and am enjoying your journey. I've started at the beginning (packing) to just follow from there. I also use a spreadsheet after almost losing a piece of luggage from a Royal cruise one time. I was asked to complete a form with what was in the luggage!!!!! Thankfully, the piece showed up and I didn't have to finish trying to remember every single item. That taught me a lesson and I have a packing list and checklist of everything that I take. It goes along with me in my carry on, on every cruise. If anything is lost again, I know EXACTLY what was in the particular piece. Serenade is one of our favorite ships and hope that you're having a fabulous time. I can't wait to catch up with you!
That's a great idea, and welcome aboard for our journey
I agree with the other posters - you two are adorable. My husband and I retired about 8 years ago when we were in our early 50’s. It’s fun to see people of a like age out having fun and visiting so many new places!
We think travel Keeps Us young active and keeps the Mind sharp as well. Hope you get out and travel along as well!😀
Love packing cubes - straight from the suitcase into the drawer, or closet shelf.
Love love the closet simulation and the prior cruise in the same room type bf the big World Cruise :)!!!!
Thanks. It gave us more confidence on what would fit.
Carolyn & I look forward to meeting you on the Serenade! You guys are waaayy more organized than we are. Carolyn blogs as well (old style with photos).
Can't wait to meet you as well! See you soon. 😃
Hope you enjoyed St. John’s Newfoundland my home Province. Can’t wait to see that video. Love and watch your journey daily
St. John’s was absolutely charming. It was a great port. The video for it will probably be in about three months as we only release three a week.😉
Hi! My husband and I are preparing for his first cruise, my first in many years. He got a glimpse of the World Cruise itinerary, and the “bug” bit him hard! So that’s on our Phase 2 Bucket List now. Following your adventure will be a great way to keep that fire burning for us through the long winter. Thank you for this packing video, it was actually really interesting!
Have a great time!
Thanks, what a great comment you made our day! Enjoy your cruise!
love this! I'm packing for a world cruise right now. My 133 days sounds short after watching this! I'm sure you're having a blast. Will look for update videos.
Have fun!
I am an "old school" cruiser too. I love the dressing up.
We do too!
Can’t wait to see where you can put all of this in your room and a room tour every month to see how you evolved
Don't know about a room tour every month, but it's all put away now 😁
I was wondering how you knew those fabric boxes would fit and now I see how you worked it all out so precisely.
Love your videos.
We had measurements for the ones in the closet and knew those would fit, the ones under the bed we thought we would put up above in our closet but once we got on the ship they actually didn't really fit there but we were really lucky that they fit perfectly under the bed. As the old expression goes, I'd rather be lucky than good. 🤣🤣🤣
Found you through your link on cruise critic board. I am so excited to follow your adventure!!!
We can't wait and glad you were following along with us!
I love all the tips and organizational products you found that will help create more space. 9 months on a cruise ship is very different, especially when it's not just in the Caribbean the whole time.
Totally agree!
Enjoy your trip
IKEA has the fabric organizers and I see Amazon has the magnetic spice racks
Smart ideas
We would not bring any formal wear or scuba stuff but that’s your choice
Way too many shoes
We moved to a Ive floor condo 10 years ago so downsized and now are more minimalists
But it works for you
Luggage forward good idea yes
We normally always do laundry
I was also a Scout leader in Ontario so know the big thing for sure
Setting up your basement to demo the room great planning
We wanted the trip but not in the budget
Have a great voyage
Love the Radiance class
Thanks for following along fellow scout.
The Luggage Forward option is absolutely worth the cost for this type of long cruise. There are times that I've been wanting a service like this, I'll remember their name.
You guys are more organized for 9 months than I am my whole life!! ❤
Been enjoying all you videow. Came back to this one looking for info on the magnetic shelving. Planning on doing a Princess 98 day world cruise in 2026
Thanks so much for watching. Have a great cruise!
WOW, you guys are very organized. We are on the world cruise as well. We are not thinking of taking along all the things you have mentioned. We need to rethink what is going along along with us🙄
Hope the ideas help and don't cause too much rethinking. 😉
I’m fascinated by the world cruise and following several RUclips vloggers. I’m in awe of your planning and packing strategies. The spreadsheet! Wow! I’ll be interested to see how the organization pans out on ship and how your room steward navigates it all.
Working perfectly so far. 🤞
I love that you did a mock closet to scale. That’s probably something I would do too. And OMG the spread sheets! You guys are my “jam” ha ha!
We had two years to prepare for this! Of course, with Mike being an engineer, we had to use spreadsheets😂😂
You two are so cute together. I can tell you get along great, which is a good thing since you’ll be on the ship together for 9 months. “That’s our jam” Happy sailing 😊
Nancy here, so fortunate, I married my best friend.
@@livingphase2 So did I! ❤ Being great friends really helps couples smooth out the inevitable rough times in life. Romance is great, but I think friendship is more important in the long run. I love Doctor Who as well! Great choice of a clip to use to emphasize your point!
I would love to see your finished move in and unpacking. Im so curious how your organizational planning worked!
Take a look at our day one video of the world Cruise you'll see how we fit it all in and what it looks like once it's all in
I think your spread sheets will,help a lot when you pack after this great adventure is over as well! 21:52 21:53
Yes. Well, he will be hanging onto the spreadsheet for sure.
Having "discovered " you on Day 1, Embarkation, it made sense to go back and start at the very beginning! So here I am, and already impressed with the way you tackled this epic trip. Will binge watch all the early blogs so that I can catch up with you in "real time". What a journey we can share!
Thanks
You guys have really thought out your wardrobe into functionality for the whole cruise and I’m thinking about the other people who just packed whatever! This is so interesting! Love it! I was wondering about laundry and you answered my question!
Thank you. I’m glad your question was answered.
You guys are amazing!! I’m only taking a 2 week cruise thru Panama Canal and I’ve gained so much knowledge from your video!! I wish you the very best on your world cruise and hope you continue posting videos!!
Thanks. Happy Cruising!
Good to see others that are like me...everything listed and in which suitcases!! 22:09
Had to!
Chasing the Summer. Great theme!
I just came across ya’ll Channel y’all are a Lovely couple and I’m looking forward to watching all of the videos of your trip safe travels God bless
Thank you so much 🤗
Hi I am going on.my first cruise this February on the allure of the season. That's how I found you, checking out others cruise experiences. Have a great time
Thank you so much!
We love watching you and keeping up with your wonderful 9 month cruise! How blessed you are ❤
We’ve said 100 times, it is a blessing and a dream!
I'm planning on following you on the entire exciting trip. I have already learned so much. Keep it up.
Awesome! Thank you!
What a nice couple!
so jealous
Hi, I'm from Sydney Australia and am looking forward to your world cruise videos. I particularly interested in everyday routines and daily habits and organisational videos. I will be going on a 3 month cruise in a few years time. Enjoy your trip
Those videos will be here periodically throughout our cruise.😀
Hello, new subscriber here from Ireland, I'm very interested in your world cruise videos so I'm delighted to be along for the ride. Your packing organisation is incredible, inspiring. Have a wonderful trip. ❤
Awesome, thank you!
Wow. You are so organized. Living thru your adventure. Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for watching!
taking measurements is super smart!
It really is!
So I just found your channel. I am not ever going to do a world cruise ,of that I am sure ,but I am excited about following your journey.I'm going to love this.Best of luck
Thank you for following along. We are excited to share it.😀
Excited to find your channel. Would love to do a world cruise. Retirement goals. You must be on the ship now. Will have to catch up and see what you are doing.
Please do!
100% the trip of a lifetime!
Yes!!!!!! we feel very blessed.
I love your videos. Enjoy your cruise.
Thank you! Will do!
Just booked a world cruise on HAL. Love your ideas. How did you know the height of the shelf in the closet or size of the shelves so you could purchase the right size storage bins?
We took a cruise in Alaska on serenades sistership, so we knew it was almost identical in the cabins. And we had our same room on the sistership.
I enjoy your content and will follow along the journey 👏🏾✨️💯
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your video! You are so organized!!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Amazing planning!
Have fun on your cruise!
I hope you post your final pack lists to your blog!
Thank you. That’s a good idea. Although everyone’s needs can be a bit different. It has been interesting to see what others have brought on board the ship that we did not.
Looking forward to following you 😃
Yay! Thank you!
You two are so cute! 😍Have a great time on the cruise!
Thanks. 😊
Picardan has been around for much longer than 4 years. Avon has had it as their ingredient in their Skin So Soft bug repellants for more than a decade now.
Sorry if we miss spoke yes it has been in the US for a decade or so but in Europe longer.
How do you deal with medication refills that you might need?
We’ve done a video, a short, on how we fill our prescriptions.
I actually did find that video last night and watched. Very informative. We aren’t planning a 9 month cruise any time soon but it’s good to know that there are work arounds for things like that. Thank you!
cool!
😀
Just a side note. The airlines will send tablets, like vitamins, and Luggage Forward will not.
That is correct
will you guys do a cabin tour? it seems like your cabin will look amaing!
Absolutely.
Enjoy a coffee or two on me. So wish my health would have allowed me to go on this tour.
Wow!! That is so kind of you! 🥰 Thank you very much! Hope you make it someday.
You would think that a boat that size would have little stores where you could buy a pair of tennis shoes or things that you would need on this trip.
It has a gift shop and I think they do sell flip-flops, T-shirts, and such but no tennis shoes.
Trying to find the video about sunscreen and insect protection. What is the name of that one? Looking forward to meeting you on the cruise. I am solo segment 2.
Here's the links. See ya soon!

I discovered your channel and love it!!! How does the cruise line handled the tipping?
Gratuities were included in the cost of our cruise, and any additional tipping on top of that is at our discretion.
@@livingphase2 thank you, I thought it was probably included!
Just coming back to make another comment. Watched another lady unpack on the 9 month cruise. You guys are definetly more interesting and informative to watch. (The other lady kinda boring)
Thank you so much for following along with us on our journey. We appreciate you.
Hi, this is awesome. I love your organization skills and spreadsheets. If I ever get the opportunity to go on a world cruise, I will copy your technique. I would really like to know how you paid for the cruise. I apologize if this is being too nosy. Like did you make a down payment and then monthly payments? Is there a discount from RC if you pay it off at a certain time?
You pay an initial deposit and then we did make payments over a two-year period and yes there was a discount if you paid before certain date.
@@livingphase2 thank you for explaining this.
pls tell me you will vlog from the cruise
That's the plan! 😁
I noticed you listed Catholic missals.......are they going to have mass on the ship?
They had mass on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day with a Catholic priest they brought in. We were told mass would be held on the ship on Easter as well. Other Sundays, we just watch it on RUclips.
I would like to know if the bug spray and sun screen will be sent ahead because of airline rules?
Those things actually went in our checked luggage on the airplane. We did buy some additional sunscreen at Walmart once we got to Miami
is anyone going on Quantum of the seas out of brisbane 2024 8th december?
???
im asking so maybe i can make friends with people on that cruise because people in the coments seem to be on cruises :)@@livingphase2
Do you really need that many clothes don't the cruise ship have a laundry room
We need clothes for all types of weather.
