The porters are employed by the port, not the cruise line. They do expect tips (right or wrong). Your tip of $10 for your 4 fairly small bags was just fine. Have no worries.
Ya, I think $5 a bag is pretty much expected. But if they are small, I think the $10 is plenty especially given the bad attitude.
@@kjazzingilbert yeah. I usually give $20 for 4 of us. But it’s definitely more luggage than they brought on board.
The dude didn’t have to be an entitled ass about it though
@@EphemeralProductionsnot entitled, English
@@daniellaplume3840 how do you know the porter was English? lol
Peter's laugh when he figured it out!!! Pure happiness, surprise, stunned . . . That was PERFECT!
It was so great to see Peter being really happy with his surprise! What a lovely man.
I agree with Keegan I don't like the idea of being surrounded by the open ocean. Are you aware that you went through the Bermuda Triangle? Spooky ☠
I'm with Keegan... The open ocean scares me. And tipping rude people does not fly with me 😊
😂I soooo feel Keegan when he said he was wrapping his head around the fact he'd be in the expansion of the ocean...cracked me up cuz I feel the same way.NO DARK WATERS FOR ME HUN lol❤
Loved Peter’s laugh..
Peter’s laugh made me laugh every time 😂
Aww, so sweet. He really was surprised, you guys gave him some memories to hold. Good friends are hard to find and should be cherished! I love this video.
I wish I'd thought to warn you about the rude tipping fad/craze that has popped up in the USA during the past few years. So many of the younger workers in the service industries think they are entitled to large tips whether they wait on you or not. Even some restaurants are adding large tips to bills without telling customers . When confronted, they say the gratuity is to help pay for workers' insurance & health benefits. WTH? I worked as a waiter for 8 years in my youth, but I never expected a tip from anyone, but was always grateful to get one of any amount. I tried to give each customer as good of service as I could. I rarely eat out anymore, mostly due to having state 4 cancer since 9/2020. But if I do, I try to give a suitable tip if I can. Anyone asking for a tip will NOT get one from me. It is a gift, not an obligation.
I'm sorry to hear about the stage 4, and I hope you are able to get at least a few nice trips out and get waited on well, as that's NOT a fun time and you need that extra kindness. I feel ya about tipping even as a long time service industry person. Never expect, just give the best service you can and hope the folks are as kind in return. And here's to fill recovery and many years of enjoying good service worthy of tipping!
As an American, I HATE TIPPING CULTURE here! Living in Las Vegas, everyone has their hand out expecting a tip. NO THANKS. Glad you called out the Virgin baggage check-in person. No doubt that people will see your video and perhaps make changes.
For what LuLuLemon charges, flip flops shouldn’t hurt. He should get Reef flip flops. Very comfortable and last a long time.
I loved Peter's reaction when he realized you were all going on a cruise!
Peter was so happy and surprised, what a great day! Looks like the cruise is off to a great start. Thanks for taking us along Joel and Keegan, see you tomorrow!
I was so happy to see Peter’s reaction.
Peter is adorable!!! I love his surprise laughter fit! Bon Voyage!
Peter looks like he would be a blast to hang out with. Happy birthday Peter🎉🎂🥂
That's what I keep thinking. He must be so much fun to be with, especially for a birthday vacation!
Keegan...bless him! "Just trying to get my head around the fact that we're going to be at sea, with nothing else around us, just floating in the vast expanse of the ocean." He's so Yorkshire! Love it. I can tell that he has travel fatigue and is out of his comfort zone with the cruise. The tipping and the rowdiness of others would irritate me too.
To be honest I would enjoy the drive to Key West more! A beautiful ride over open water and Key West is an amazing town!😮
Such a marvelous surprise for Peter!
We stayed at five star all inclusive resorts and we still left tips. We did not leave 20% but we left a few bucks because it was places like Mexico Riviera Maya and Cancun and Jamaica and Punta Cana.
This was so cute!!! Peter is adorable! And when you boarded the ship the crew person on the megaphone saying you can say F... as much as you want because there's no kids on board - totally hilarious! I guess you weren't on a Disney Cruise 🤪
Good job pulling off the secret! I loved Peter's reaction.
What a great surprise. I would have got back in the car because I’m petrified of boats and deep water. Keegan talking about being surrounded made me nervous 😂
I just love this video. When he asked if you guys were going on the ship all of you should have said “surprise “. That was a well kept secret. Good job.
The situation with the tip is unexceptionable. NO ONE SHOULD ASK FOR A TIP. HOW RUDE! I would have been tempted to grab it back.
I hope you guys have a great time 🎉
What a lovely birthday surprise for Peter love the vlog Joel and Happy Birthday Peter 🎂🍾🥂
Indeed. ❤️
I love Peter's laughter 😃. so happy he was surprised
He was so happy!
So glad the secret was finally revealed! I've been holding my breath!
The camera flickering is most likely due to the frequency settings of your camera and the different electrical frequencies in the US. You probably have a PAL camera... if you can change the settings, change it to NTSC. Basically Europe's electrical frequencies pulse at 50Hz and the US is at 60Hz... so while you can't see the off-cycle flicker, the camera can. If you can't switch modes, see if you can switch your shutter speed to 1/60 or 1/120. You might also be okay if you're shooting in 30fps, but I'm not 100% sure. And remember to switch it back when you're home. But now that I think about it, you're probably already back home... but something to keep in mind for your next US trip!
What a great tip and thorough. How nice.
I worked for a worldwide cruise line for years. My experience is that the shoreside terminal luggage handlers are not employed by the cruise lines. The hotel staff on board generally handle delivering luggage to the room once it has been loaded aboard by the dock workers.
This was so much fun to watch... specially Peter's reaction
Peter's lovely! His laugh is so great!! The moment he found out couldn't be better
I tip 20% unless they aren't worth it. Keegan, you should have said, "Your tip is do your job and do it without messing up our bags." I have written a tip on a piece of paper and left it on the table saying, "My tip for you is to find a different job."
Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean. Enjoy the cruise!
Loved Peter’s reaction when he realized that you were on your way to cruise with Virgin. I whole heartedly agree with Keegan and his handling of the rude porter. Can’t wait to see the rest of this adventure on the high seas, well on the Caribbean seas.
I never want a holiday on a cruise ship but it really seems to suit you! Hope the birthday boy enjoyed it❣️
More friend videos. Peter is so much fun.
Aww loved Peters reaction bless him. Well done keeping it a secret.
Happy Birthday Peter!
Aww Peter's reaction was perfect! And Keegan sounds like I would, processing being on a cruise but I've never been on one before!
Happy for Peter.
Prayin for smooth seas and a problem free trip. All the way there and all the way back! 😘😘😘 handsomes!
I ❤ how happy Peter is! What a wonderful birthday for him!
The crazy time when Leaving port was the sail away party Your supposed To get wild and park
The lines are an incompatibility between your shutter speed and the LED lights when can cause problems at any shutter speed. When in the U.S. it is better to change your shutter speed to work with 60hz. As of the ship, not sure what line frequency they use. LED's are just problematic like the old fluorescent lights. Better LED lamps typically don't cause issues. I suspect that if you had the lights in the cabin dimmed, that may be the problem.
Awesome. I love how you all got Peter surprised. How sweet.
I'm so impressed that you kept this secret! Also, Virgin Voyages has the BEST food and cruise experience, in my opinion. 😊👍But gigantic Keegan in that itty bitty bathroom. Oh my. 🤦♀️
Joel, You have a beautiful tan!! I’m glad you had fun!
Keegan, I agree with you about tipping, they really need to show they deserve it and to ask for it is a no-no! I, too, am rather generous in tipping and I rarely tip under 20%. When it comes to my barber, however, I have never tipped him because I look at it as that is their job so unless I want something special which I never have, I don't tip. Living in AZ where we have numerous Snowbirds, and if they tip great but I am a year round resident so my barber can count on my business all year and with our cost of haircuts I just can't come to tipping! I have taken several cruises and loved everyone so have fun and enjoy being pampered! You too, Joel!!!!
Another fun video! Thanks for sharing with us 😊 Can't wait for more.❤
Keegan ,you're a man after my own heart, no bath 😊
$10 is more then enough!
😂peters Reaction Brilliant. What a lovey present for his Birthday
Great video Joel have a Great week 🥰
Travel tip: pack bandages for blisters especially if traveling with new shoes that haven’t been broken in yet. Sandals especially can create blisters. Bon voyage men and Happy Birthday Peter! 🎉
Hey guys good video, I didn’t think you would be able to wear shorts in the restaurant area🤔🤔. It’s a big old boat 🎉🎉
I wondered about that too, but Is a hot area, so it makes sense.
Absolutely delightful! What a lovely surprise. Very sweet. Looks like a fabulous ship! Glad you had fun. Thanks for sharing! 😃👍🏻
Love Peter's reaction!❤
What a great day! Peter looked so happy. Happy Birthday tomorrow (In vlog-time) to Peter.
That's how you take care, build and maintain your tribe. Pure bliss!! Love it!!❤😊
That was a fabulous surprise,❤
The people who manage your luggage at the port work for the Port Authority, not the cruise lines, typically.
Peter Happy Birthday! What a wonderful surprise hope you have a great time! ~Joel excellent capture love seeing you guys having fun! ~Cara 😊
Hope you had a blast
And a good time was had by all.
7:40 I agree!! I'm an American, and I *hate* the whole tipping thing, man. I avoid full service restaurants largely because of that. Here in California, we fixed it so food service is also paid AT LEAST the local minimum wage (which is 17 usd/hr) just like everybody else, yet, they still expect tips!! Argh. Don't get me wrong, I tip well. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. 🙂
Fun vlog! Peter’s laugh at being surprised was everything, he was so happy! 🎉 It’s hysterical they told you that you could say the “F” word as much as you want on that cruise. Honestly I get a little worried when I hear it’s an adult only cruise, because often times adults can be more obnoxious than kids, especially after drinking! 😂 But I’m glad you had a good time. Did Keegan have fun? He seemed a little concerned when he first got onboard, I hope he did! ❤
Looks like such a fun time! Enjoy!😊❤
glad the surprise went well!! Thanks soo much for sharing as always
The best cruise line! Have a great sailing
that was super, Joel. Quite a ship! Peter was really surprised. He has quite a laugh - it never stops! Glad you all were able to surprise him! I can envision resting in that hammock during a rough sea! How cool is that?!!
What a mission! To hold in a secret like that! Everyone was very excited and it looks lovely. Thank you always for bringing us along and showing us the safety video! Cracked me up! Always love ❤ until tomorrow 😊
I loved Peter's expression when he found out about the cruise, hysterical, 😂,hope you enjoyed your cruise. Keegan sorry but it's expected for you to tip per bag to the porter handling your luggage getting on or off the ship,that is how they make their money. You tip your housekeeping staff,the waiter at the end of the cruise and the bar person as well and any other person providing you a service, like room service ,massage, gym staff,if you use the laundry the person who delivers your clothes back to you, you plan to spend hundreds if not thousands on tips if you want good reliable service.
The scrolling dark areas are from LED lights in the room
Keegan’s nicer than I would have been. I would have given the guy a look like “ok” and turned and walked away without another word. lol. No ****s given. lol
Agreat trip for all. Peter was so excited an surprised. So happy for all of an now you are all home safely. Hope the home all of you looked at is still available. Enjoy the journey. Have agreat weekend. 🦋❤️🏳️🌈
That looked so good Joel. Thanks for sharing.
Keegan's so understated. What did he finally manage to say about the surprise? Has he ever been on a cruise before? He's the type that you could set off a cannon next to him and he wouldn't flinch :) Like my son. I love your cabin but being on hammock that high up would give me the heebie jeebies. By, the way, my sister's family go on 3-4 cruises a year and one time her nephew was running early in the morning. The deck was slick and he went right off the boat. They fished him out a few hours later and said "Oh my god, why didn't you drown?" and he said "Never occurred to me".
Love virgin voyages been on 3 cruise s with them
Bon voyage. Have an amazing day! Cheers.
So funny. I am watching this from Key West. The cruise looks lovely. Key West would have been good too.
Oh how wonderful!!!
Hello Joel and Keegan
Did you tell him that’s why Keegy said something about lobster in the Bahamas?
The karaoke thing! So hilarious
So much goodness! Yay for an adult only cruise with such fun people! The whole things looks like a great time and getting booked for massage, sunrise, etc. And so glad you got to surprise Peter, he looks such an amazing fun person to be with. I hope his birthday was amazing. Been on only one cruise and I felt like Keegan and had to just not think about being out in the middle of the abyss. Then it was just like being in a big fancy hotel, until we went to the excursions. I hope the rest of the staff are less entitled. And also decently paid, cuz often they don't get much at all and are still super kind just hoping they make enough to send home to family, but maybe not on Virgin.
Anyway. Looks like a blast!
8:24 I agree
Keegan in the Hammock is a cultural reset.
This was enjoyable. Looking forward to more videos.
The guys taking the luggage do not work for the cruise lines,but I think for the port..
Great vlog. I loved Peter's reaction when you pulled up on the Virgin Terminal. His laugh is that of genuine surprise. It's unfortunate you had that issue with guy wanting a tip. That should go on the comment card. I'm glad you were able to move beyond that and enjoy being on the ship with your friends. I observed Keegan laying on the bed and his feet hanging over the edge. It's too bad they can't make the beds a little longer. I'm sure Keegan is not the only guy on the ship that's having that problem. So far so good for day one on the ship. Oh I almost forgot. Children are not allowed. That makes a big difference on what going to happen on an Adults Only ship. Have fun.
What a great time you're all having. So happy for you and thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next video.
peter looked at his beau and said " you hate cruises"
I want to travel with Keegan and you you look like such fun 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Such a happy video.Hope you all have a wonderful cruise.❤
That's so lovely ❤❤❤
9:41 YES TO HINDI CINEMA REP.
ooooh was goign to make a crack about virgins ... but you all look so happy......
Lovely vlog wat again ❤
The same thing happened to us with Royal Caribbean. The guy grabbed my bag and set it on the ground. I said I will take it and he said where is my tip first. I was in shock that he asked so rudely, I gave him a tip but looking back I wish I would of said something about his rudeness. I am going again in April so we will see if we get the same rude guy. I agree with Keegan, I usually always tip 20% but when they earn it, not just standing with their hand out for very little reason.
Thank you for sharing the excitement of your embarkation day and showing us your comfortable cabin. That and the dinner you had are making want to go on another cruise now. And it was lovely to see Peter’s reaction when he realised he was going on a cruise. He was clearly delighted.
His reaction was so good 😂
