    Dee's love for Christmas makes my heart smile. That cab situation was an entire fool. The cab stand inside of the new port area was supposed to make catching a taxi easier.

    • @philanddeetravels
      @philanddeetravels  6 месяцев назад +2

      Shed keep a tree up all year if I let her. And yea that taxi stand was useless! It served no purpose other than us walking up saying we need a taxi. That's it! How soon you got in a taxi determined how much God was smiling down on you at the time. Lol

    Pro tip. Just walk out to the main road and grab a taxi like near starbucks. That whole new area they built is a racket.

    That is one thing I did find disappointing with the port of Nassau. I am also so glad they fixed the port. I didn’t like getting off there by myself because I didn’t feel safe. But looking forward to seeing the updates

    • @philanddeetravels
      @philanddeetravels  6 месяцев назад +2

      Yea it's a shame that we had to experience that. But yes the new port is absolutely beautiful. Love what they've done with the place. Hopefully the service can 1 day be as good as the port looks. Yes we understand, especially being a solo woman. Always have to keep your eyes peeled at all times.

    6 cruise ships in port!! Nassau stays busy! We don't blame Dee for being upset with the transportation situation. Phil's new name is International Phil. He has connections everywhere! Thank you for your transparency with Nassau RIU. They need a full makeover. Guys spend more time in the restroom than at the pool. That's why they have an outlet next to each urinal, lol.
    Great video!!!

    • @philanddeetravels
      @philanddeetravels  6 месяцев назад +3

      Yea.... Nassau need to chill on that many ships! But hey if it helping your economy, I get it. Yea that transportation thing was a MESS! The vibe was just completely thrown off and we lost a alot of time in port because of it. Naw idk about that name. I only know like 3 people out there. Lol an entire make over from top to bottom. I was like at most they gonna get 1 extra percent. Cuz I'm not hanging out in there and shole ain't leaving my phone in there. Lol

    • @philanddeetravels

      No problem. Just making sure people are well informed. We've heard good things about the 1 in jamaica. If you remember, please let us know how your experience went. We'd live to hear about it. I understand filling up your taxis, but please have a mote effective system, don't argue in front of guests, and please know how many people your taxi can hold. Lol

    I was in Nassau this past December with my family and we experienced the same taxi situation. It took us over 45 minutes to get a taxi to or excursion and I was fuming 😡 I did notice that the Disney passengers got buses without any issues and we were on Royal. Since we booked through the cruise line we made a complaint and got some of our money back.

    • @philanddeetravels
      @philanddeetravels  6 месяцев назад +5

      So we were there around the same time! But yea disney does secure buses for those with excursions. You get what you pay for I guess. Disney always provides immaculate service. But why were yall on a royal excursion and they didn't have vans dedicated to royal guests? Are you telling me yall had to find yalls own way to yalls excursion booked via the cruiseline? Or did yall have to wait on yalls dedicated shuttle for the excursion to show up?

  • @onthegowithyolo
    @onthegowithyolo 6 месяцев назад +3

    Yeah packing out bus and making everyone wait is not nice. We found out in San Juan they are contracted to fill their buses. Our guy was pissed he had two open seats.

    • @philanddeetravels
      @philanddeetravels  6 месяцев назад +3

      But miss counting and making us go back and then yall sit there and fight in our face and then make us wait?!?! I was about to call off the entire day and just go back to the ship at that point. Like yall playing with our time and I don't appreciate it. And contracted? Wow! Never heard that before.

      Man!!!! And I felt bad for the guests who were staying there. They did not seem to be in high spirits when I talked to them. They all seemed to have regretted their decision to stay there. I told multiple of them that this is not your typical RIU experience. I tried to encourage them to give RIU another chance at other resorts. But I think a lot of them were scared of being burned again which is understandable.

Taxi foolishness. Rubbish. Quite frustrating. Sorry you went through all that. Hopefully the food and drinks were good. Yessss🙌🏼. See’s in the water. But how Phil missed his mouth 🍹😂? At least the sun ☀️ came out. I’d be concerned about a taxi 🚕 back too. Oh my. That’s made poop. Wow. The resort needs to be refurbished. Over $100 each? Wow. Oh the taxi took just you too back? Cool 😎. Love how you support your wife Phil 🙏🏼. Thanks for sharing 🤗

Idk how I missed my entire mouth 🤣🤣🤣 I promise I wasn't drunk lol yea the taxi situation made us nervous going back but luckily they were lined up right down the street from the resort. Yea they need a whole make over for that resort. Thanks as always gor watching. We really do appreciate it.

Glad y’all were still able to have a good time anyway. Charging phone while at the urinal - what kinda sanitizing station in there besides soap and water for the hands? Ewww!
