Remember cruises in the 1960's and 70's where we gathered around my shortwave radio to get the NFL playoff scores or Super Bowl results. There were no TV sets on cruise ships and if there were, they would only work in port. Occasionally, the ship's captain would make an 1MC announcement to give crew and passengers scores.

Hi DTOV! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! St. Lucia was amazing! We hope you’re staying well too! :) Happy Travels!
Hi Brdrbuy7! Thanks for watching! We’re sorry about your canceled cruise, but we’re glad the videos help a little! Hopefully everything gets back to normal here soon! :) Happy Travels!
Nice work Hoffman’s.... Your enthusiasm for travel is so infectious... I heard once you get “hoffman travel euphoria” you can go broke but it is fun getting there.
Hi Todd! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! What can we say? A traveled life is a happy life! :) Happy Travels!
A beautiful way to go broke! I spent all my inheritance on travel and cruises. When you are poor, you still have your memories and friends you made traveling.
Hi Trainsallday! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! We would love to upload more! Our goal is to one day have enough success with our channel that we can put our even more content. It’s obviously challenging to do so now, given the current ongoings surrounding travel, but we hope to be back to normal soon! :) Happy Travels!
I recently found your videos and love them. You guys are very down to earth an fun. We want to plan our first ever cruise but I’m scared to commit to a date since everyone says the virus will go away for the summer but will return again next fall when regular flu season starts again. What are you guys doing as far as making plans for future cruises?
Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for watching and for the very kind words, we greatly appreciate it! Well, our original cruise on Oasis of the Seas for May 10th already got canceled. We then booked the Disney Dream for June 12th, but alas, it too has been canceled. We’re hoping cruising resumes back in July and we’re able to go then, otherwise, we’ll probably look to September. The way we see it, we have to trust the officials in charge (since we’re certainly not experts!), and if they sign off saying it’s ok to go, we’re going to do it (while still being cautious!). Keep in mind, every cruise line is offering a program that gives you peace of mind when booking. The details vary from line to line, but there is definitely a protocol in place to ease the process! We’d love to assist you with booking your first ever cruise! If you’d like to talk specifics, feel free to email me at Matt.Hoffman@CruisePlanners.com ! :) Happy Travels!
Hi Dana! Thanks for watching! Yes, Sandals offers day passes for people to purchase. You are treated just like any guest staying there, you just don’t have a room to go to! Our day passes are complimentary, provided that we do a tour of the resort, because we are travel agents. :) Happy Travels!

Was the Sandal resort part of Royal Caribbean excursion, or you guys booked it yourselves?
Hi Christine! Thanks for watching!
We arranged it ourselves, as it is not available as a cruise line provided excursion. :)
Happy Travels!

How are you able to Sandals for the day? Are you able to get a day pass or something?
Hi Dana! Thanks for watching!
Yes, Sandals offers day passes for people to purchase. You are treated just like any guest staying there, you just don’t have a room to go to! Our day passes are complimentary, provided that we do a tour of the resort, because we are travel agents. :)
Happy Travels!
$130 USD for a day pass: Does it include any food or drinks?
Hi Tom! Yes! With the Sandals day pass you get everything a normal guest gets, including food and drinks!
I love how fast you answer questions. You guys really love and care about your clients!
Surprised doing bumper cars on a moving ship doesn't give you motion sickness.
Hi Scott! Thanks for watching!
No issues at all! This ship was very good at negating movement. :)
Happy Travels!
ahoy!
Ahoy Ja B! Thanks for watching! :)
Happy Travels!
