FYI, I actually used to work for a hotel and if you keep your key card near any electronics, it will demagnetize the keys. I always reminded guests to keep their keys away from phones, tablets and laptops.
+ Sea Cruisers when I was on the Allure Of The Seas I was on deck 12 and i was the very last balcony and you could spot it from a mile away if you were off the ship!
My next cruise is with Princess in Australia and I was so miffed to find the Aussies pay about 1/3 less for the cruise that I am boycotting Carnival group after it for a while. So to try something new I have booked with MSC around the Med. After all your complicated shinanigans I am beginning to wonder if i did the right thing! Roll on the next video tobsee if things improve xxx
We do show our day as it happens, and it just so happened that the vlog was about 20 minutes long when we finally opened the door, and we try not to go too much over 20 minutes as it loads slowly for lots of our viewers when it's that long. ;)
Sea Cruisers I totally understand :) I was so excited to see you guys enter the room and so when the key didn't work I had a feeling you would have to go back to reception and that was going to take up your video time. I adore you gals and your children :)
Good point about wheelchair accessibility. I've been on ships where I had to go up from my room on 5, walk/push through 7, then down to 6. I was always late to dinner and shows, called it rush hour traffic! LoL

That card stuff didn't happen on my msc cruise, it was super fast right at the cruise terminal. Maybe you missed that there? Cause if it was supposed to everybody do that onboard the ship, there would be giant lines to use the machines,.. Maybe that's only for those who didn't register the credit card at the terminal. I can't wait to see the other vlogs!
We did not register our card at the terminal, but on other lines have never had a problem once on board. Turned out it was because of the ship's registry, it shows as a foreign country so our bank blocked it. To prevent that from happening, if we had known, we could have called our bank and told them we would be using it out of the country.
Hi. That also happened to me when I went on my first (and probably last) cruise. Unlike most everyone here, I didn't care much for cruising but I love watching your videos. My neighbor/BFF whom I went with LOVES cruising. She has 2 more planned (not with me but with her husband) and also has a river cruise planned. Like you guys, cruising is in her blood. Absolutely love you guys. Keep on cruising and making videos!
You should *always* notify your bank if you're traveling out of your immediate area. As much as you guys cruise, I'm actually surprised you don't do that. And bring another card (credit, not debit) for these situations.
Very frustrating about that card. I'm thinking about booking the Seaside cruise with you ladies. I'll remember to bring cash. I usually do on a cruise but it's optional usually. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
We hope you book with us into the group, it's going to be a great trip, I'm sure! Turns out that we needed to notify our bank that we'd be using the card out of country (which we had no idea to do), because the ship is registered, and shows as another country, not the USA.
Oh ok that makes sense. Didn't think about that. See that's why I love your channel so much, you're a wealth of information. What are the Seaside dates again?
I love your videos . It feels like real like problems . The trip is not just perfect, you give a good since of what to expect . You guys are awesome . Keep the videos coming .👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Watched this last year & the cabin key not working along with the other card issues gave me anxiety, watched again just now & still felt anxiety! I just hate when things are difficult. Honestly I would have been PISSED if I walked ALLLLLLLLLLL that way to my cabin & my key didn't work UGH!! 😳😡
I loved this video! It was so informative! I am sorry to see you two had all those difficulties. Hopefully they'll fix those issues before you sail on the SeaSide. Can't wait for the next one!
I just want to say hi. ur videos r great I've been watching g them for two days. I really feel like I'm on the ship with u. I appreciate that u record soooo much of ur trip.
I'm so excited to see the room! I'm not loving the Juliette balcony, but the ship is gorgeous! I love you ladies, and I love your sister relationship..makes me want to do this with my sis 😊
So....the issue (after much research) with your card, was the fact it was a Master Card Debit. Allegedly Master Card has fixed this issue, but Vendors were not allowing transactions at satellite terminals to process (soda machines, free standing terminals, etc) because Master Card raised their debit transaction rates really high. So they punished Master Card debit users inadvertently. It was supposed to be fixed by Thanksgiving last year. I know this comes months too late and months after the video, but I was confused by what happened and needed to look into it. :) Cheers
Love your vlogs. I don't understand how you could not get credit. Didn't you bring a credit card? This makes me so worried about getting stuck. You guys took it very well, I would have been upset:( I don't get it.
Thanks, but it didn't look like a back pack, it was sitting on top of you luggage when you couldn't get into your room. Thanks, enjoying the video's can't wait to see the Disney Cruise.
Oh, the tote type bag? It was a purchase with purchase (PWP) years and years and years ago at Walt Disney World. It's absolutely perfect for putting two pillows in.
Lmao I can't stop checking everyday either lol but that's crazy no atms working maybe the casino they always find a way to get ur money lol can't wait for the next videos have a blast

Love those wall and the pictures I am a picture person I could spend hours just enjoying all those pictures, very awesome....That's 18 Euros.... looks like you had a hard time finding your way around but that goes with any ship till you get used to it. Looked like small prominard.. A Bowling Alley..does it get better..Lets see...YEAH YOU FOUND YOUR ROOM-great your key doesn't work, so you have to use a machine to activate the card, This is one thing I am not happy with all this time to activate your card...I don't like all this run around-but thats just me, I like things to work in order- Yeah the door opened...
Oh no if I spend my hard earned $$ & I had all those inconveniences I'd b ticked & ask for part of my $ back if they weren't providing what I expected.
What a carry-on just to link money to your room. If this is normal..... Then.... NO MSC for me THANKS ! Holiday time is so short, I don't have time to WASTE doing silly stuff like that.

FYI, I actually used to work for a hotel and if you keep your key card near any electronics, it will demagnetize the keys. I always reminded guests to keep their keys away from phones, tablets and laptops.
I don't know how you ladies stayed calm after all the mishaps upon boarding. I think I might have just walked right back off.
That cruise is the best I went there
Keep the cellphone away from the room key. It can deactivate the key.
Finally! I have been waiting!
+ Sea Cruisers when I was on the Allure Of The Seas I was on deck 12 and i was the very last balcony and you could spot it from a mile away if you were off the ship!
on disney cruise line on the carpets in the hallway there are maps and if north is further forward you are heading toward the front of the boat.
Most hotels do that with the key and the a/c, we often have 2 cards and leave one key in the wall through the day to keep the a/c on.
My next cruise is with Princess in Australia and I was so miffed to find the Aussies pay about 1/3 less for the cruise that I am boycotting Carnival group after it for a while.

UGH!! I knew it, once the key didn't work we weren't going to see the room lol

Good point about wheelchair accessibility. I've been on ships where I had to go up from my room on 5, walk/push through 7, then down to 6. I was always late to dinner and shows, called it rush hour traffic! LoL
welcome back girls xx
I absolutely LOVE the decor and colors of this ship!! I love watching your Vlogs and really look forward to them! Thank you for all you do
yes it is assigned to the US - but it is a foreign OWNED company. Their bank is probably international.
Oh No...i was dying to see the room and ...CUT...thanks alot ladies...lol.
Me too... on their last episode I asked if they did a room tour.

As much as you cruise there are still things to learn!
Vickie Carmichael and we all can learn together :)

I cannot believe the size of your balcony
Watched this last year & the cabin key not working along with the other card issues gave me anxiety, watched again just now & still felt anxiety! I just hate when things are difficult. Honestly I would have been PISSED if I walked ALLLLLLLLLLL that way to my cabin & my key didn't work UGH!! 😳😡
Did I hear you say group cruise on the Seaside? Awesome!!!
Guys, it's drought as in "draft" beers. Happy cruising.
I loved this video! It was so informative! I am sorry to see you two had all those difficulties. Hopefully they'll fix those issues before you sail on the SeaSide. Can't wait for the next one!
I love these video's and I am so sitting at work, wishing to be on a cruise right now. Thank you for my day dreaming moments ;)

Avoid the hassles and keep it simple. Never go cruising without a major credit card!
The two of you have some of the most interesting cabins ever.
So....the issue (after much research) with your card, was the fact it was a Master Card Debit.

Disney doesn't have ATM's either.
Oh no if I spend my hard earned $$ & I had all those inconveniences I'd b ticked & ask for part of my $ back if they weren't providing what I expected.
12:10 Nooo why did you turn the camera the wrong way :(
That is a lot of Walking!
i have a slight mobility issue. can you bring a scooter on board and would it be a pain in the .....
My favorite cruise Line is cOnaval
Although beauty come in all sizes , you're both losing weight and looking absolutely fantastic;keep it up ladies.
Looks like a pain in the butt to me. Too stressful.. I like simple. But that's just me😁
