Your wife is hilarious with her emotional sound effects and facial expressions 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 she’s very happy doing this for you that’s for sure! Have fun and safe cruising!
Really enjoy your attention to detail on your videos! No one else breaks down included food on cruises like you do, you're in a league of your own! Thanks for all the great content!
These videos are so helpful for us in determining what we'll want to order on the menu when we take our first cruise this spring. I just want to thank you both so much!
Thank you so much for this insightful look into the MDR on Odyssey. We are going on it soon and I have a tendency to not try many new foods but after watching this, you've given me so many new ideas.....Very grateful!
Coming from an Asian country where those kind of food (ceviche, different kind of cheese, meringue, etc) simply don't exist, your food presentation video really helps me a lot as I'm planning on my cruise vacation departing Florida:-) Thanks a bunch!
Excellent video..your wife knows her food. I hate videos where ppl say "this is good" and leave it at that. I really like all the pictures and close ups. We are serious about our food..like most Asians lol.
I enjoy your videos. They're very food forward, and I like that. You both are pleasant and the reviews are done well without being overly critical. It makes me long to go on a cruise again. Maybe I'll run into you all. Again, great job. P.S. The green earrings are showstoppers.
Currently on diet and excercise routine so I can eat my money worth when I get on the cruise. I watch this video whenever my body is eating my body reserves away and scream for food so I know what I am fighting for. thanks for the footage.
Hi Joann and David, I'm on jury duty now and it's lunch break. I'd trade places in a heartbeat as I am starving instead of going upstairs for vending machines. 97 more days until our Celebrity Summit 10 night cruise to Bermuda and counting until we can dine on fine cuisine as you did. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut
Hi Bob & Jill! Thanks for taking time to watch & comment! And of course for partaking in jury duty! You're going to have some nice food on the Summit 😋
This was hard to watch!!!!!! With no food in my mouth. Love the way she tastes and then gives the oooo ahhh mmmmm reactions....very tasty looking. I'd say a 9 out of 10 approval for RCCL kitchens.
I enjoy their commentary but it is so often RCL and we are unlikely to cruise on that line. But I will watch anyway so i can fantasize til our next cruise.
So I'm going on my first cruise in May. Are you able to just sample everything you want in the main dining room every night? It seems like they are pretty small portions.
Nicely done. I'm going on Odyssey's April transat and have the unlimited dining package. I'm not sure how often I'll eat in the MDR (lobster night!). I'm interested to try the snails, although theyt look as if the cheese coating is overdone compared to others I've had. That can't be said against the French onion soup.
Thank you! Yeah lobster night was nice. I'm sure you'll make great use of the dining package since they have so many specialty dining options on the ship. Have a great cruise!
Thank you! I think if you're looking for lots of amazing entertainment, bells & whistles, the Royal Oasis-class ships are pretty hard to beat. If you value the included food more, HAL is somewhat better at the buffet & main dining room. HAL has also stepped up their live entertainment also.
We do not like Bells and whistles i thank we Will go for HAL from Amsterdam living in Belgium Will be a good option and we Will go for the neptune suite kind regards wilky
I see she has different dishes at sit down dinner. Can you order different entrees as much as you want in one dinner? Are they included in the cruise or extra? Thank you.
The menu offerings here look far more colorful, creative and adventurous than what we’re seeing in the new menus RCL has rolled out. With included food like this, there is no need to do specialty dining if one doesn’t want to spend the extra money. But then, more and more it seems like cruise lines are pushing us toward specialty dining in order to get the real cruise food experience.
The food looks very good but it appears they are very careful with the sauces and gravy. I would require alot more sauce with the pastas and anything with rice.
He was doing a magic trick which was pretty cool! Yeah I didn't notice the green "sticker" until the video was uploaded- it's a bug from the video editor. I used Power Director and for that clip I had it apply NVIDIA denoise, but instead it introduced a big green block lol
@@TravelTouristVideos lmao 😂😂 Cuz at start.. I was like.. “hiding his face… but I already have seen him” or like “ or.. else.. he hiding the name of his hat.. but I can still see name xd” Nvm 😂😂
The darker color mound next to the blue cheese soda looks like Alpo dog food but I know it wasn't it must have tasted really good but that's just how camera picked it up have an excellent weekend
Got prime rib on her review...grizzly and tough. Never again. I pulled all the breading off the seafood also. Lasagna was very very heavy with doughy noodles. Not the best. We thought food was very average. Feb 2023.
Wondering if she leaves lots of food on the multiple plates she tries at each meal. No way she can be eating more than a few bites from each plate. Unless others in the party are finishing it, seems as if lots of food would be wasted. 🤷♀️
I like your relaxed style and you do an admirable job. As improvements, it would nice if you added twenty or so descriptive terms to your repertoire: succulent, plump, umami, tangy, scented, preparation, etc. (there are of course hundreds available to you). Your viewers would also appreciate you possessing / showing a little more food knowledge. Shoot an image of the menu when it’s posted during the day. Select an item or two of the more unusual menu offerings and learn a little something about them, their origin or or an ingredient the item should possess then share that with the viewer while dining. For example, it would have shown some mastery if you’d told the viewer what type noodle should be in a Stroganoff. In the example of the fried fish entree, you weren’t prepared to tell us what type of fish it was. You might have said “I asked our wonderful waiter what is the fish in this mixed platter and he told me it was cod.” I would also advise you to not proclaim a dish to be healthy. You might say a dish is possibly or seemingly a healthier version of one you’ve had or think people generally experience. Regardless, many thanks for your nearly hour-long presentation. Viewing the items and getting your impressions is very helpful in advance of sailing. It surely helps determine what nights one might choose to pay for a specialty dining experience instead of MDR (Main Dining Room).
Wow- thank you for the thorough feedback! We're not pros, and for us it's a lot about enjoying a vacation without the extra work of doing these videos cutting into the enjoyment. But your suggestions are quite helpful and we'll see if we can incorporate a few of your tips! 🙏
@@TravelTouristVideos You’re very welcome, thanks for your reply. Choosing more varied culinary terms can be done at home. Ditto, learning a bit more about food origin and expected preparation; you’re enthusiastic cruisers who are going to repeatedly experience similar menu items. You reveal a little bit of yourself when you tell us how the food makes you feel. We know you like creamy, comforting foods. More of that keeps our attention. Your viewers are spending an hour with you so talk to us. For example, you were served fried calamari rings. To be more engaging you might say “there aren’t any tentacles. I don’t know about you, but I like them if they’re crunchy.” Or, even bolder, “these are just rings, no tentacles, and that’s fine because I don’t like them. What about you guys?” You’re talking to many, many people so including us in the conversation from time to time adds interest. As I said previously, you’re already doing a good job. Just remember that it’s potentially thousands of viewers who are across the table, enjoying both you and the meals you eat …The really good news for you is that I clearly watched every second and endured every commercial during your presentation. I’ll do the same next time! Aloha.
The meat all looks very underdone. Like the other dining venues you've shown, the restaurant seems very noisy with crashing and banging. Plus servers marching around everywhere, not exactly discreet. Can't say it's my idea of fine dining.
That was because we asked for medium-rare. 🙂 You're right it can be pretty noisy with people chatting. Our table (which was set for the entire cruise) was near a wait-staff workstation so yeah there some banging & clanging for sure. Thanks for the comment!
How do you manage to sample so many dishes (5 mains, 3 desserts) at one sitting? No disrespect girl but you obviously have a sweet tooth - Savoury review - ' hmm that's good; tasty; so tender; nice and crispy outside; etc, etc' Sweet review - 'like eating clouds; I want to date this; I want a moment of silence' perhaps hubby is more articulate when it comes savoury? Thx, good video, food looks good, just to many 'pink' meats and raw dishes for my liking... Philistyne I know but what can I say...
Please do not eat fried chicken with a fork and knife. I am from the poultry capital of the world, Northeast Georgia, where it is expected for you to eat it with your hands. Otherwise, great video
Thank you! 🙂 100% fried chicken is finger food. Though when on a cruise ship where there are thousands of other guests, we're more cautious about catching stuff, so we try to avoid touching the food with our hands.

Glad you like the reviews! Thank you so much for the comment! 😊

You're very welcome- thanks for your comment! 😊 Have a wonderful time on the Odyssey!
This is my go-to channel for info about cruise food. They sail many different lines, RCL, MSC, NCL, etc.
Thank you- much appreciated! 😊
New sub here. You guys are the best ! I am all about the food . Beautiful family ❤️
Thank you so much for the comment & sub! 🤗
So many delicious looking food! Thank you so much for this awesome and detailed cruise food reviews on Odyssey of the Seas!💕

My day is made when Joann is served a creme brûlée to her liking. 😆
Lol- yep good creme brûlée = happiness 😁
That gave me such a good giggle. Made my evening.

Looks like Royal Caribbean is great for their food. Very good food review. Thank you.
Our pleasure- thanks for commenting! 😊
Amazing videograph!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😊
Currently on diet and excercise routine so I can eat my money worth when I get on the cruise. I watch this video whenever my body is eating my body reserves away and scream for food so I know what I am fighting for. thanks for the footage.
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 🙂 Lol you're definitely not alone with that pre-cruise exercise plan 😁
Truly one of the best videos
Thank you so much 😊
Such great descriptions. Love this channel!
Thank you so much! 😊
Best video ever 5 stars 👍👍🙏😎
Thank you so much! 😊
I've watched a lot of your food videos and wonder if your family finishes the food you taste. It all looks so good.
Thank you! All the food is shared between the 3 of us (2 adults and a hungry teen), so we usually finish most if not all of it
@@TravelTouristVideos that's good, I hate waste.
Excellent review...love your clothes and jewelry too!
Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Joann and David, I'm on jury duty now and it's lunch break. I'd trade places in a heartbeat as I am starving instead of going upstairs for vending machines. 97 more days until our Celebrity Summit 10 night cruise to Bermuda and counting until we can dine on fine cuisine as you did. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut
Hi Bob & Jill! Thanks for taking time to watch & comment! And of course for partaking in jury duty! You're going to have some nice food on the Summit 😋
Tonight I have watched a couple hours worth of your wife eating. I don't think I have ever watched another human eating this much in my life! Lmao
Lol- it's a though job but somebody has to do it! 😁
@@TravelTouristVideos I love yall for doing what you do. Keep up the great job!
Thank yo so much- will do! 😊
Sorta makes you wonder how she’s not 500 lbs! 😅. I really enjoy watching her eat too.
Beautiful couple ❤
Thank you very much! 😊
This was hard to watch!!!!!! With no food in my mouth. Love the way she tastes and then gives the oooo ahhh mmmmm reactions....very tasty looking. I'd say a 9 out of 10 approval for RCCL kitchens.
Thank you so much! 😊 There were some really good dishes for sure- RCCL chefs & cooks did a great job!
When you are emotionally satisfied... Its a good day💗
Some good eats there 😋
Thank you so much for your informative video, I gained 5lbs by just watching 🤣.
Our pleasure- glad it was helpful. Lots of tasty food in this one lol- thanks for the comment! 😊
@@TravelTouristVideos you're welcome 😉
Thank you for showing the kids' menu!
No problem- thanks for commenting! 😊
The Onion Soup and the Caesar salad looks good
I enjoy their commentary but it is so often RCL and we are unlikely to cruise on that line. But I will watch anyway so i can fantasize til our next cruise.
Thank you for watching & commenting! We have more Holland America videos coming up and hopefully that's more of a line you enjoy.
Great work.
Thank you! Cheers!
So I'm going on my first cruise in May. Are you able to just sample everything you want in the main dining room every night? It seems like they are pretty small portions.
Oh yes you'll be able to order multiple apps, desserts and 2 main entrees no problem. Have a wonderful first cruise!
Love your videos
Thank you so much! 😊
So would love a hot cup of coffee to go with those desserts.
Yes!
Nicely done. I'm going on Odyssey's April transat and have the unlimited dining package. I'm not sure how often I'll eat in the MDR (lobster night!). I'm interested to try the snails, although theyt look as if the cheese coating is overdone compared to others I've had. That can't be said against the French onion soup.
Thank you! Yeah lobster night was nice. I'm sure you'll make great use of the dining package since they have so many specialty dining options on the ship. Have a great cruise!
We love your video’s very nice! If you should choose between HAL and Royal Caribbean which one is best? Have a nice weekend kind regards Willy

New subscriber here, your videos are great
Thank you so much- welcome aboard! 😊
Can children order off the regular menu?
They sure can- in fact that's what our son has done throughout the years.
Lovely food taster!
Thank you 😊
I see she has different dishes at sit down dinner. Can you order different entrees as much as you want in one dinner? Are they included in the cruise or extra? Thank you.
You sure can order multiple ones, though table space can be a constraint
Awesome food on board🤩
Thank you 😋

I know right? It certainly used to be better & had more selections as well. Thanks for the comment! 🙂
How do I get her job going on all these different ships and eating everything does she get a free ride on all these cruises?
No free ride for us- we wish lol. We're not affiliated with any cruise line- just regular tourists.
The food looks very good but it appears they are very careful with the sauces and gravy. I would require alot more sauce with the pastas and anything with rice.
For sure some of the dishes needed more sauce or gravy. If you ask them they can add more for you no problem.
1:45 what is that crew doing:p
Also that piece of green sticker at his head xd
He was doing a magic trick which was pretty cool! Yeah I didn't notice the green "sticker" until the video was uploaded- it's a bug from the video editor. I used Power Director and for that clip I had it apply NVIDIA denoise, but instead it introduced a big green block lol

Cuz at start.. I was like.. “hiding his face… but I already have seen him” or like “ or.. else.. he hiding the name of his hat.. but I can still see name xd”
Nvm 😂😂
Yeah he's in many videos throughout the years 🙂
@@TravelTouristVideos I seeing him evolve.. .... uhh.. getting older 🤭🤭
It's fun look (general)
We have cruised on HA but we prefer princess or celebrity
Are you allowed seconds?
Most definitely!
The darker color mound next to the blue cheese soda looks like Alpo dog food but I know it wasn't it must have tasted really good but that's just how camera picked it up have an excellent weekend
Can you try all the food in just one night? You just need to ask the servers?
They have different items nightly but sure you can order all that are available nightly.
Was the food on HAL better than Royal?
It was somewhat better, but Royal was pretty good
💙
😊🙏
Got prime rib on her review...grizzly and tough. Never again. I pulled all the breading off the seafood also. Lasagna was very very heavy with doughy noodles. Not the best. We thought food was very average. Feb 2023.
Oh no- sorry to hear that! Which ship was this?
@@TravelTouristVideos liberty of the seas
Are you allowed to take a plate of food to your room?
You sure can- let the server know and he/she will put a cover on it for you.
Wondering if she leaves lots of food on the multiple plates she tries at each meal. No way she can be eating more than a few bites from each plate. Unless others in the party are finishing it, seems as if lots of food would be wasted. 🤷♀️
Nope all the food are shared between the 3 of us (2 adults & a hungry teen)
Was it really necessary to go on a cruise when COVID wasn’t completely gone, and being in crowded areas
It was a fun cruise actually despite being able to visit just one port. We felt very safe and the crew did a great job with the health protocols.
whole maine lobster?
It was just the tail
She looks a lot like Selena!
