We Love all you valuable information in cruises and can’t wait to see you all hopefully one day since we cruise often ! Many blessings to your mom , wife and keep doing a great job !
I had a man threaten me when we wouldn’t purchase leather goods so we never get off in Cozumel. We have an October cruise on Mariner. It will be our last cruise. We’ve done 11, but we’re elderly and I’m fed up with the rise in prices. Tx for a great video.
Thank you for this! My husband and I are going on our first cruise next year. Same ship and same stops. I like to know what im getting myself into before leaving so this helps me out so much
Yes but this is all 5 days in one video. I always do one long video which is everyday of the cruise at the very end of the series of videos. Some people prefer to watch the entire cruise this way so they will skip my individual day videos
I just went on this Royal Caribbean cruise and my bed was hard as a rock and the heat did not work in our cabin. It was cold when we left Galveston Texas
Great video, taking this cruise in May! What parking service did you use at the port/ We are renting a car since we are getting to houston a day ahead and staying two days after.
We parked at the port through Royal Caribbean. It’s probably $20-30 more then the other ports but you are right on Royal Caribbeans Port and it is walking distance It’s called port of Galveston www.portofgalveston.com/
Quick question! At the start of your video I saw that each of you had a 12 pack of drinks. I thought that you can bring one 12 pack of sodas per a Stateroom, not per a person. Can you let me know if you had any push back on that? I am bringing my family on the same cruise in February and I would love to bring waters/ Cokes on board maybe more than 12? Any updates would help me! FYI… I love your channel and videos! They have been so fun to watch and so informative as well! God bless!
We did get pushback, but we talked our way through it. I will say if you can go to the table where they inspect your soda with a 12 pack and then have your wife or someone else go through three or four minutes later you should be able to get both through.
Going to be boarding Mariner of the Seas November 2nd... I have been watching all your videos for tips and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I do have one question. The main waiter and assistant waiter in the main dining room... Do you tip those? And on average, how much do you tip for the entire cruise for those two positions?
If you had to choose between the carnival dream or the mariner, which would you chose? We’re a family of four, two 10 year olds. Can’t decide between the two
Yes, if you bring your own, you can use it if you rent it you have to clear that within the company that you rent from some of them only allow you to use it on the ship
@@FowlerFamilyFun My wife and I always buy the drink package. We're taking this same cruise in Jan,2025 and bought the drink package during RC's black friday sale, it was $67 per day. At $14 per drink, pretty easy to save money with it, especially if you're like us: we like to sample all kinds of different beverages and maybe drink 1/2 of what we order. Another perk, if it's really hot outside, and you order a beer and it quickly gets too warm, just replace it.

We're so glad to help! Have a great time on your first cruise, you'll love it!

We had so much fun we are going on the same ship in February. What part of Oklahoma?
How did u,get a 11:00 check in time? They always have us check in at 4:00
If you use the app 14 days before boarding you get to your boarding time
Just a perfect video for me. Im getting exactly the same cruise next month. By the way which camera you were filming?
I use the iPhone to do all my filming. IPhone 12 max
OK am I confused did we not already see this video with the Mama’s? It’s ok I will still watch. Tonya got 11 last time lol ❤💙
Yes but this is all 5 days in one video. I always do one long video which is everyday of the cruise at the very end of the series of videos. Some people prefer to watch the entire cruise this way so they will skip my individual day videos
I just went on this Royal Caribbean cruise and my bed was hard as a rock and the heat did not work in our cabin. It was cold when we left Galveston Texas
Oh man we go on her again in February. It’s gonna be chilly embarkation day I hope the heat is working by then.
Great video, taking this cruise in May! What parking service did you use at the port/ We are renting a car since we are getting to houston a day ahead and staying two days after.
We parked at the port through Royal Caribbean. It’s probably $20-30 more then the other ports but you are right on Royal Caribbeans Port and it is walking distance
It’s called port of Galveston

Are you both retired? Love watching you both!
Tonya is…. I’ve got 3 years before I retire

And we have actually had to leave a 12 pack behind before as well, so it doesn’t always work
Oh ok. We may try it and see what happens! 😂😂 Thank you!
On average, how long are the docks? How much time do you recommend us walking back to ship if one is a slow walker ?
On average from the ship to the main part of the port, I would say 12 to 15 minutes

Honestly we would probably pick Mariner…. But it’s really close
Is there bingo on this trip?
Yes, there is bingo
are you able to use motorized wheelchairs when you’re at port?
Yes, if you bring your own, you can use it if you rent it you have to clear that within the company that you rent from some of them only allow you to use it on the ship
I've never purchased the drink package.
I have only purchased it once. Until my next cruise that you will see here pretty soon on Utopia. I purchased it then also.

I’m going March 17 2025
Dude, the scruffy, unshaved look is much sexier! Keep the scruff!! You are one of the few who can pull off that look. Embrace it.
Haha I agree with ya. I try and keep it as mushy as possible as possible
Great Video. Thanks
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
