I love that promenade deck so much! Also one of my most favourite things about cruising. The thought of being able to walk that every day while the sun sets... heaven ❤🙏
Another awesome video guys! Love the chemistry between you two. Keep producing these excellent videos and we'll keep watching. Your videos are one of the top videos I look forward to seeing each week. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us landlubbers! :)
Can the beds be raised up for more storage? I'm thinking Steve's T-shirt collection will grow with each port and that may come in handy. So happy you have a Bible study group on board.
Was wondering if you had any all ship notice board where people could post notices like looking for other people to join with them in an activity on land (shopping, meal, maybe even a movie?) and also things like “Giving away / selling some shelves…” or whatever items…?
@@MidLifeCruising95 if someone is coming on board for a short rental period would it be worth joining the WhatsApp group? Or is that App only for residents?
I agree with you about the walk-around promenade deck, its always a superb way to start and end the day doing a few circuits. also the small ship/size is perfect.Still very envious. I would love to try a month on her. Great ship tks for your excellent reports.
Another fun video, that made me LOL! I have to ask, when you had your week in Denver, did you feel the land moving under your feet? If so, how did you cope?
I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ your top 10. Thanks for sharing. Such a dream come true. And can’t wait to see your least fav and the rental units. We are chomping at the bit to join even if it’s for a short rental stay to start. Right now focused on getting our work done so we can cruise the Caribbean. PS Scott doesn’t drink either. But I totally love that they allow you to bring your own on board. 🍸
Hi MLC! Great video & very good list. I have a favor to ask: would you consider doing a monthly drop-in visit with Holly & Captain the Cruising Kitty? Even if it's just for 5 or 10 minutes, I'd love to see them and hear what they've been up to. I bet I'm not the only one who is intrigued with the 4-legged captain on board & his lovely mom. Captain exudes a certain joie de vivre boss energy that is infectious. Please think about it; it would be a different, unique, and welcome addition to your existing content. Be well!
I love your channel and comments! Sounds like you have a positive and happy life living the dream. Enjoy Panama for me!! I wish I was there to do the transit with you, and one of thee days i hope to join you on board. Keep up the great work!
Yes don’t want one of Steve’s new shirts dyeing the rest of your clothes!! I think it’s neat that he gets a shirt from the ports would like to see those! I don’t drink either so that would be wasted on me too! I’m so glad most of the people are really nice I’m a bit shy meeting new people too glad you got Steve to meet people first and open up! It’s funny my father-in-law is named Steve he’s a retired firefighter and he’ll talk to anyone for forever drives my mother-in-law crazy sometimes when she wants to leave and he’s still gabbing!
Great video! I also have a Level 8 carryon case, the one with the laptop sleeve. It makes the inside a little tight but love it for storing my ipad etc on the outside
Great to see ya both! We have al little India near where we live in Toronto ,so love the curries too! think Steve has great T-shirts and saw a Led Zeppelin one!!! I am a few years older than you guys but went to High School in the late 70"s in Naples Florida and love the old southern rock!!
The espresso machine would also be on my ❤️ list, and the bring your own bourbon/beer would be my husband’s!😂 Do they show college football games on a big screen or have ESPN on your cabin TVs? Can’t imagine missing college football season! (Georgia born/bred. Retired to Florida panhandle).
😂😂😂😂😂 the bloopers always make me laugh. Thanks for sharing your top 10! The butter chicken looks sooo good. The ship is not small, but just not like the monster-sized ships. It’s a nice size where you can walk around comfortably and without huge crowds and queues! I saw the 😍 in Steve’s eyes when talking about the coffee machine 🤣🤣🤣. Does Angela need to be worried? 🤣🤣 Ooh I thought Angela’s the extrovert! I’m highly introverted and don’t do so well in big-group settings, unless I know most of the people. 😬 Looking forward to your next video! I can’t imagine what your list would be. Ooh… maybe the mattress that you feel is too hard? Or have you already got your mattress topper? All the way from Denver! 😅 Bye Friends ❤❤
just thought I would ask you about premium foods such as lobster filet and sashimi poke are they sometimes served in the main dining room Also the entertainment is there a 5 piece band or just duos. Hoewever I have chosen villa vie because its a small ship that can get into many ports I havent been to.Its hard to give up my lifestyle on premium cruise lines which I have worked on.
We are definitely not luxury or even a little high end. We are an affordable option. The entertainment changes because it is more cost effective than a full time band. No to food like that...shrimp and scallops are more the pace here.
Hi guys i was wondering what number the coffee machine would come in at lol. Have you met many children on board. What do you guys think of all the bad press some people are saying. I always find you both upbeat and very positive. love and hugs from Lozzy x
Most of the complaints are things that don't effect us. Some things are not true. The amount of people who said we would never make the crossing, no we will never do the transit etc.... we just keep proving them wrong. We roll with the punches. Some HAVE had plumbing or AC issues, and VV seems to be on top of the problems. Thankful we haven't been impacted.
On the Villa Vie they get to work less. I just had another tell me today that it is much easier on them here. I know on regular cruises they seem to work 12 hour days...so hard!!
@@MidLifeCruising95 I miss our Paul Gauguin crew. They are the best we've come across. One of my fav bartenders even did a pole dance for me. Of course I tipped him big HAHA
@@MidLifeCruising95 Yep, when you had posted that video I thought to myself ... just one more reason to live life at sea. No more; rushing to the airport, trying to find parking, lugging luggage to check in, TSA pat downs, running to the gate only to wait, no more being squished onto an airplane for hours or subjected to catching something which we usually do. The list goes on. VVR life is our goal!

Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Another great video!!

Amazing top 10 list! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Thanks for watching Ken!!
@@MidLifeCruising95 🙂
Glad you both are enjoying the ship so much .
We are having a blast!
So happy you get to live your best life❤
Woo hoo! Thanks!!
The community aspect is the best for sure.
Agreed!!!

Good stuff guys, thank you! Rentals...awesome, can't wait!
Woo hoo!!

We have 6 bins under our bed, about 9 inches deep each. Many have put their beds on risers, which adds even more room.
Just love seeing your smiling faces. Such a great couple!
@@debrahoward5029 so kind of you!

We have all the above in a Whats App group. Each Whats App sub group covers just about anything you can imagine.

You are going to love New Zealand the have the best coffee. Australia is a close second.
Oh, can't wait!! Yummy!
I am so happy that your experience has been so positive, thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much! We're loving it.
@@MidLifeCruising95 that is what is most important. Blessings

Love the video guys I think the ship is just about the right size as well
Thanks...perfect for us!
A lot of good happening on that ship! So happy for you two “friends.” Keep enjoying! 😊 Linda
Thanks so much! We are enjoying the adventure!

I knew the coffee machine had to be in that list😂💚
You bet! It's probably Steve's favorite thing! Ha ha
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I was patiently waiting for it. So much nicer than my Keurig.

Loved it!
Thanks, Michele!!!!
Love this video!
Thanks for watching, Friend!
Your Captain Val is such a lovely person 👍
We agree! He is the best!!
Nice! I LOVE cruising, but not sure I could live on a boat… so it’s fun to see your adventure. Love that there’s a Bible study! 🥰
Thanks so much! It has been quite the experience!
Great video! I also have a Level 8 carryon case, the one with the laptop sleeve. It makes the inside a little tight but love it for storing my ipad etc on the outside
I am loving the Level 8 cases, they are so well-made! Thanks for the input on that one!

Sounds like great minds think alike...!!! Thanks for tuning in....
Awesome!! Enjoyed watching..I passed through the Panama Canal once going to Japan and Taiwan
We are about to pull into Colon right now!! Exciting times!!
@@MidLifeCruising95 Very nice..luvly sceneries..Living da life to the fullest..
What a wonderful life!
Love “our adventure “!🛳️🛳️🛳️
Thanks, Friend! Awesome adventure indeed!
I love butter chicken.
So yum!!

Do they show college football games on a big screen or have ESPN on your cabin TVs? Can’t imagine missing college football season! (Georgia born/bred. Retired to Florida panhandle).
At the moment, no. For some games the residents have gotten together and streamed big games. Hopefully here soon they will have the games worked out.

Cruiseship employees work hard and long hours

Great video. How is the passenger count going? Does the ship feel crowded or just right?
We get a lot more in Panama City. Lots of new people, but a lot that have been on for awhile left for Christmas...
@@MidLifeCruising95 are you spending Christmas on board? Merry Christmas!
Call me a pessimistic but I'm really looking forward to your bottom 10 list.
The 12 hour flight delay will probably make the list.
If you ask me the 12 hour flight delay is just one more bonus because they no longer have to do that on a ship. 😂
Ha ha ha....
Ha ha right!
