As a Diamond Plus, I hate to say this; but your better off with MSC's Yacht Club and their private island YC Beach Club. There you can even get lobster! For the [rice of Sky or Star Suites, you can go on a premium or luxury line, without all the endless passengers! Plus, few children & their stroller jockey parents!
I just posted this, without realizing your treatment in the YC; below is for the readership, you were treated badly, and I fully respect you both! For the same money, try Crystal, Silverseas, or Windstar.
in the bedroom bathroom its a shower for two people plus a rain shower. I thought it was weird that there where 2 showers but only one sink? I´m guessing the other shower is for the one sleeping in the pull out bed?
Hi Ben and David. Just wanted to let you know that I am proud of you for being so honest in your reviews and for standing up to unfair treatment by a certain cruise ship.
I will call them out MSC- Never again- we had a horrible experience with them for this past New Years Cruise and are not surprised about this! Our 7 day on Oasis in October, and our 7 day in November on Carnival Legend for Thanksgiving were of similar price but MSC was bottom barrel except in ship beauty and the cabin was nice but EVERYTHING ELSE WAS HORRIBLE ON MSC AND WONDERFUL ON OASIS AND CARNIVAL LEGEND!!!
TBH, I mean, aside from any naughty multi-person applications, this is also just becoming standard on any kind of upscale housing, and even most suites at hotels if they're new or newly remodeled... The idea is that even if you're showering alone you can turn them all on and get spray from multiple directions. Sort of a luxury thing.
Don't feel bad about critiquing honesty gentlemen. Y'all are always fair with your reviews and polite to staff. Criticizing areas of short coming when you're paying so much money and have similar experiences to compare this one to is not whiny or mean
Sometimes in your bleak day-to-day life you just have to watch sheer, unfiltered joy, happiness and excitement of others to cheer yourself up... This is where you guys come in! Keep up the great work!
Can we just pause and talk about that room?! As someone who usually cruises on the inside of the ship, these rooms really do blow my mind to bits - it’s must be AMAZING staying in here!
I'm so happy to see that David has finally printed a customised t-shirt with his hilarious quotes. " Slap me with a palm tree and call me a banana. Thumbs up. I love it 👍👏
Ben with the "doing a line" whilst covered in powdered sugar sent me into a solid fit of laughter. The food looks fantastic. I do appreciate there's room to invite a neighboring table to come shower as a group in the suite. It genuinely seems like a pleasant experience! Thank you for the content as always!!
I have had this cabin twice! It IS amazing. My Mom splurged on it for me and my brother when we did my Husband’s funeral at sea. Then during COVID I got a super crazy unbelievably cheap rate on it. So much fun to stay in it
I'm so glad yall did a vlog on this ship! This is the one I've had my eye on. Finally talked my hubby into taking a cruise! And after extensive research, this ship seems to have the most bang for your buck for an "older" ship!
We went on this one last year, and it was my first time on a Royal Caribbean cruise. My entire family loved this ship. You definitely will not be bored and there’s a ton of places to eat. Have fun!
Hi Ben and David, 1. Thank you for bringing such positive content and how cruising content should be after your last experience. 2. The shower could be a shower for two, with a third head being a rainfall shower head for those that prefer it over a traditional one. Happy cruising!
You can take the person out of a standard cabin, but you can't take the standard cabin out of the person...this is modern poetry. I'm laughing and still watching... I can't say I've ever thought about buying Crocs...however, you guys are making me wonder what I'm missing!!! I adore you both. I feel like we'd have entirely too much fun together and that's your draw! You seem so relatable and kind. I'm going to finish watching the video. xoxo
Crocs have a bad reputation but I think it's only the snobs who criticize them. They're comfortable and really easy to keep clean. The time I wouldn't wear them would be going outside in cold/wet weather.
I was against crocs for the longest time just because they are hideous. I still think they are hideous but they are SOOOO COMFORTABLE! So I wear them around the house. Don't think I'll leave the house in them though
I didn’t start watching cruise vids or have any interest in them until about two weeks ago and then I found your channel and now I can’t stop watching!
Totally agree with you as we have been fortunate to have stayed on the 17th floor many times on 3 Oasis ships. Have paid anyway from $4500 to almost $7000. However the prices have gone out of sight for most of RCCL cruises - to include the loft suites. But we have great memories - and have moved on …. ❤ Thanks again guys for what you do!!
We went on Oasis a few years ago. The ship was far too large for our liking, and we found that all of the events such as trivia were horribly overcrowded. The ship itself was magnificent, and we stayed on one of the balconies overlooking Central Park, which was great for people-watching and even sitting on the balcony and listening to the activity below. I'm glad to hear you were able to provide your family with an amazing first experience!
So pleased to hear that MSC debacle had a positive outcome. Thank you for sharing your time on the Oasis of the Sea, and we will keep enjoying your cruises. Take care.
i think this may have been before that cruise - they mentioned how sad the fruit plate in Royal's suites were when giving the room tour for MSC & I think this video shows said sad fruit plate.
I’ve traveled on a a grand suite (2) bedroom and a grand suite (1) on Royal Caribbean. I find the price was worth it. I agree with the points that you made David, that you would have wished that priority means priority, and that you wouldn’t have to make reservation for coastal kitchen, the only difference I must say I received a bottle of champagne in one of the occasions while staying in the suite. Having the coffee bar was definitely a plus for my husband, as he was able to have a cup in the cabin which meant we didn’t have to rush for breakfast in the morning most times.
So proud of you fellows! You stood up & did not let MSC have their dreadful behaviour remain hidden! Glad to see you back at it. Well done!🎖🎖🎖😎😎😎🌟🌟🌟♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹
@@charla6548if you’re not a RUclipsr why would you care? I’ve sailed MSC 4 times and have another booked. I’ve always had a great time but then again I don’t film anything so not an issue for me.
Watched this thanks to being a member on Patreon and like always this was another great review no holds barred of your experience on the ship! Great job as always Ben and David!
Hi Ben and David - it’s only me, I can’t wait to watch the Vlog/video, but I’m just waiting on medication and I know as soon as I start to watch it the nurse will come in - I’m really looking forward to watching!!! - and nearly a whole hour. I’m in for a good Sunday evening viewing ~ Sending loads of love and loads of hugs to you both ~ Xxx Xxx
Home from work sick with the actual flu, all ive wanted to do is watch you 2. I dont cruise never will i get horribly sea sick. But you guys just make me happy.
I was on this cruise with my parents last year and the traffic was the same as you guys too, it was so hectic, but we got there safely. The experience on Oasis of the Seas was really fun too. Also, I love your brutal honesty when you board these cruise ships while having fun too. Don't let anyone or anything stop you from doing what you both love to do.
One of my managers was going on a cruise with his family. I recommend your channel to him. He followed some of your tips and had a wonderful time. Thanks, Ben & David 💜
CHALLENGE: Show us how cheap you can do one of the major cruiselines. Don't just talk about it but do it. No paid excursions, no extra-cost specialty dining, nothing extra paid. Cheapest inside room. And then be honest with us about whether or not you enjoyed it.
@@2tickets1world But I never see RUclips cruise channels do this. They LOVE to show off the biggest suites, speciality dining, great excursions, etc. but not the other end. Maybe they're just jaded by always traveling and getting pampered is the only way they can force themselves onto the ships again. Just a guess.🤷♂️
@@2tickets1world Hmmm. I am subscribed to both but haven't seen them do this ... except for that horrible Margherita cruise and that isn't run by a major cruiseline.
My wife and I stayed in that exact suite on Harmony a couple months ago. You get two room attendants and I remember walking in while they were cleaning the room. One was actually cleaning the walls. That room was amazing and very close to coastal kitchen. Our only issue was with the safe. They installed the safe, so the door opens facing the wall, making it really difficult to access it. It is funny you mentioned the vibration as we had the same experience. It felt like one of those old fashion motel beds that you put quarters in lol.
Thank you for reviewing this one. I have been wanting to book my first cruise soon and I NEEDED a Ben & David review. You guys are always so professional and thorough.
Ben & David! Thank you SO MUCH for the alert on increased traffic in the Port of Miami. We will bear this important information (n mind for our future cruises. Love Love Love when you two are enthusiastic about an accommodation!😊
Hey Hey hey Ben and David. Glad to see you bounce back. What would the cruise community do without your thorough professional tours of the cruise ships. I enjoy so very much your vlogs. It gives me great insight into cruise ships you review what to expect and the whole shebang. And from there I can do my planning what cruises I like to do. I definitely like your Greek Island cruise on the Celestyal, the ships' decor, and Greek culinary. Looked so delicious. The ship itself looked opulent. I saw the ship in Crete in Agios Nicolaos Harbour over a year ago and wondered about it. First time I saw this cruise ship. . Thank you for all your reviews. Love you guys, and your enthusiasm when reviewing ships. I love them all. Good job!!❤❤❤. You guys are hillarious 😂.
Hi guys ! I can’t tell you how much your videos make me smile and laugh . You are both so witty and funny . I always know watching one of your videos will brighten my day . Best cruise channel EVA ! 😎😎😎
I was on the floor with this video..From the bouffant that David was trying to block, to his jumping jacks, and his comment on standard cabin out of a person, to Ben's pink crocs, DINNER as he likes to call it, the full wall lined with crocs and comment on the less than flattering fruit plate...TOO FUNNY! Thank you for all you do!
I have sailed all the Oasis Class ships and Oasis has the most amazing crew and best service i've had on any ship. It's probably b/c her crew is cohesive and almost like family. The level of service and professionalism is second to none!
Thanks for sharing - have never experienced my cabin like that. I grew up in South Florida and we absolutely have cooler winter days sometimes and the Bahamas are not the Caribbean and can be cooler.
Fabulous as always guys ..my favourite quote..... Ben " im gonna finish it and do a line of sugar off the top " ha ha you are so funny i was howling ..beautiful ship but yes very expensive in areas
I'll never be able to afford a suite like that, but you have the best, PRACTICAL points in terms of plugs, especially now that most people at least have minimally a phone an😂😂d tablet. That easily could've been done on the refit. Maybe sometime I'll be well enough and have enough to afford another cruise. Cheers, guys!😊
Hi Ben and David. Loving your episodes. We haven't done suite class on royal caribbean but we did suite class on the Celebrity Edge and boy was it totally worth the money. We renewed our vows on the cruise also and we got a tour of the bridge. We also took my husbands service dog on his first (and last) cruise. He was a hit with all the crew and most of the passengers. We are so enjoying your channel. It's also been good to watch the old videos while laid up after surgery. Look forward to the next one. ❤❤
Love your reviews! You really get the experience out there with lots of positivity and energy and Ben makes me smile! Question for David. What travel backpack do you use? I`ve been looking at carry on types like that (Osprey) and it may suit my needs. All the best
You made me dream with your lovely video and fantastic suite and laughed many times ( coming out of the closet years ago…I laughed out loud alone in my living room ). Glad to see you again and in a very nice suite life indeed
Wow what great windows in your cabin! The fruit plate-LOL. Those chairs look tight in Coastal Kitchen. Enjoyed your review! Have been on Oasis and stayed in a Central Park view cabin- found it was noisy- one night they forgot to shut off the music by the pool above- around 2am called and security did come to the room to listen shortly after the music stopped- we did end up switching to an ocean view cabin- customer service was super! And now we know to stick to the ocean views for us.
I love the quips (specifically the shower and David "in the closet") as much as the review itself. 🤣 Keep up the good work and the humor. Glad to see you guys on Royal again. We'll be on the Wonder next Sunday!
That weird milky sugary sachet is condensed milk lol. It was called conny-onny back in the old days,during rationing times it was used in tea and coffee instead of sugar and milk xx
I stayed in a Grand Loft suite in 2022. It was one of the best experiences of any cruise we have ever had. The genie adds a lot to the experience. Would love to do Star class again.
I absolutely enjoy your videos, the both of you have the perfect personalities for it!! One thing I would like to mention is that I also enjoy when you take us along to see the ports you visit, and wished you did more of this. Thanks again for doing what you do!
I believe the 3 showers in the bathroom is for when you are in a hurry and have 3kids to get ready for dinner, LOL!! I am sailing on the Icon in December so, it is a good point to check the weather before sailing. I booked the club and if the weather is too bad, I can cancel 48 hrs before, am I correct? The good new is that it is cheaper now. I paid $76 for my ticket. No beds in te water or anything else.
Ive been a travel agent for 15 years but genuinely the cruise knowledge youve given me 🙌🏼🙌🏼 just love you guys! You're so genuine and honest so thank you so much! As for the shower situation... Maybe a parent showering at the same time as young children with it being one of the only cabins that allow 4+ in it? Maybe!🥰🥰🥰
The Aqua 80’s show was amazing. One of the best cruise shows we have ever seen with some great music. We watched it twice and once was from our boardwalk balcony room.
Omg yes oasis!! Going on royal carribean for the first time in September and it’s on Oasis! I hope you guys are going to make some more videos around the rest of the ship ❤ love the honesty as always. That room looks incredible! You should try the new Celebrity Ascent 😊
Going on this suite for Harmony of the Seas and very excited! Appreciate getting a better understanding of Sky class and what you actually get; I've considered going to Star class but I think for just 2 people what we have is plenty.
Hi Ben and David. I watch a few different cruise bloggers and love that you all take a different approach. I steer away from these big ships but wonder from your experience if the ship experience is more important than the ports on these big ships? My husband and I met working on the Pacific princess 46 years ago. Ships are so different now.
It's so pretty. I love how you guys are always so down to earth and grateful and fun and animated. I've been watching your videos to get my fix until our cruise on Quantum in Sept. We CANNOT WAIT. It's such a beautiful ship. I'm so jealous. It's on my list to go on a ship that has a Central Park. It's such a cool concept. Have so much fun!!
So LOVE the Harry Potter "Room under the stairs" reference! I thought of it before you guys even said it! That's how I know I'm watching the right guys! Love your videos - keep up the great videos - you're helping me decide what cruises (and lines) I really want to narrow my "adventures" down to.
Our first Royal Caribbean ship was Oasis of the Seas and we absolutely loved it. We've sailed on Allure as well. We stayed in balcony cabins, and that suite you both stayed in looks awesome. Love all that space and the loft bedroom.
We took advantage of the prices post covid and were fortunate enough to get that same suite on Symphony of the seas with a royal buy up (I think for an extra 750 or so). It was amazing. I'm kicking myself as we didnt take advantage of many of the suite perks but then again, we loved that suite and spent lots of time in it! Truly was a dream come true!
We took our best friends who had never cruised on the Oasis last October.We have no advanced status on RCCL, but have enjoyed our several cruises with them on smaller ships. Of all of our about 25 cruises, this was my favorite. We stayed in regular balcony cabins, got the drink package for the first time (loved it) and absolutely loved the ship, food and shows. I would do it or a sister ship again in a heartbeat!!! Our friends are now hooked on cruising and want to go again.
Hey, guys, I've travelled a lot but never been on a cruise. Just testing the waters with your videos. Wanted to say that I appreciate your professionalism and honesty (and fun).
We were just on the Wonder a month ago and the New Updates here on Oasis make it look almost exactly the same, thats awesome. 150 central park was our favorite restaurant!
Well done listing even minor downsides to your experience. Everyone values different aspects of a vacation differently, so the fact that you list even seemingly minor things may help someone make a more informed decision if any of those things is a big deal to them!
I’ve never cruised before. When you make coffee or tea, do you use the water from the bathroom sink for it? Thank you! And YAY for this fancy accommodation!
07:30 wait, they just leave your door keycard outside your door the day you leave, where anyone could walk up and take it? Isn't that all but asking for a security/safety issue? And aren't they also used for your on-board money? (I've only ever been on one 3-day cruise when I was a kid, but that was 25ish years ago, so I don't know much about them)
ALWAYS,enjoy your honest, informative videos. You guys always make me laugh at some point. Keep up your great reviews. Looking forward to yr next cruise. Enjoy.
Hi Ben and David, thanks as always for your candid reviews and love watching the channel. We are RCCL cruisers and the highest we have been is in a Jr. Suite which is very nice but really not much more on perks but plenty of additional cabin space. I also agree with you 100% when you are paying that kind of money for a suite you should be getting a garden not a plate with an apple and 6 grapes…lol. Royal really should be looking at upgrading those things when you pay so much money.

Well if you've got a big suite you might be traveling with kids, and you can bring young ones all in with you or with each other. Fun and saves time.

Thanks Ben and Dave keep up the good work it is great to get an honest unbiased reviews.
Thanks 👍
I was on the floor with this video..From the bouffant that David was trying to block, to his jumping jacks, and his comment on standard cabin out of a person, to Ben's pink crocs, DINNER as he likes to call it, the full wall lined with crocs and comment on the less than flattering fruit plate...TOO FUNNY! Thank you for all you do!
I have sailed all the Oasis Class ships and Oasis has the most amazing crew and best service i've had on any ship. It's probably b/c her crew is cohesive and almost like family. The level of service and professionalism is second to none!
You guy's remain just as excited each new trip. We'll done guy's, your excitement is fun to watch.
You guys are 2 wonderful human beings ❤❤ blessings on you both ✨✨✨🙏
❤
Thank you for making some of my absolute favorite content❤️
Our pleasure!
Thanks for sharing - have never experienced my cabin like that. I grew up in South Florida and we absolutely have cooler winter days sometimes and the Bahamas are not the Caribbean and can be cooler.
Fabulous as always guys ..my favourite quote..... Ben " im gonna finish it and do a line of sugar off the top " ha ha you are so funny i was howling ..beautiful ship but yes very expensive in areas
I'll never be able to afford a suite like that, but you have the best, PRACTICAL points in terms of plugs, especially now that most people at least have minimally a phone an😂😂d tablet. That easily could've been done on the refit. Maybe sometime I'll be well enough and have enough to afford another cruise. Cheers, guys!😊
Hi Ben and David. Loving your episodes. We haven't done suite class on royal caribbean but we did suite class on the Celebrity Edge and boy was it totally worth the money. We renewed our vows on the cruise also and we got a tour of the bridge. We also took my husbands service dog on his first (and last) cruise. He was a hit with all the crew and most of the passengers. We are so enjoying your channel. It's also been good to watch the old videos while laid up after surgery. Look forward to the next one. ❤❤
Love your reviews! You really get the experience out there with lots of positivity and energy and Ben makes me smile! Question for David. What travel backpack do you use? I`ve been looking at carry on types like that (Osprey) and it may suit my needs. All the best
You made me dream with your lovely video and fantastic suite and laughed many times ( coming out of the closet years ago…I laughed out loud alone in my living room ). Glad to see you again and in a very nice suite life indeed
I just love your channel. Your videos are top-notch and real. I only wish the best for you two
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Wow what great windows in your cabin! The fruit plate-LOL. Those chairs look tight in Coastal Kitchen. Enjoyed your review! Have been on Oasis and stayed in a Central Park view cabin- found it was noisy- one night they forgot to shut off the music by the pool above- around 2am called and security did come to the room to listen shortly after the music stopped- we did end up switching to an ocean view cabin- customer service was super! And now we know to stick to the ocean views for us.
So pleased youve not let that horrendous experience keep you down. Delighted you're back doing fab, honest reviews. Hope to.meet you again sometime
Didn't expect to see another video so fast. Good to see you didn't let any MSC grow under your feet. Another great review as usual!
This looks like so much fun. My first cruise coming up this summer on Utopia and I could not be more excited! Great vid as always.
It was!
Glad to see you both having a more pleasant cruise, even if the weather hasn't been cooperative. Wish you were going on my cruise in May!
Hi guys! I am going on Harmony OTS in 1 month. I can’t wait, it’s my very first time on an Oasis class ship! Love these almost hour long videos ❤
Oasis is my FAVORITE ship in the royal fleet! Thanks for sharing.
I love the quips (specifically the shower and David "in the closet") as much as the review itself. 🤣 Keep up the good work and the humor. Glad to see you guys on Royal again. We'll be on the Wonder next Sunday!
Thanks for the vlog! One day the hubby and I will get to enjoy one of these suites! Aspirations!
That weird milky sugary sachet is condensed milk lol. It was called conny-onny back in the old days,during rationing times it was used in tea and coffee instead of sugar and milk xx
I stayed in a Grand Loft suite in 2022. It was one of the best experiences of any cruise we have ever had. The genie adds a lot to the experience. Would love to do Star class again.
I absolutely enjoy your videos, the both of you have the perfect personalities for it!! One thing I would like to mention is that I also enjoy when you take us along to see the ports you visit, and wished you did more of this. Thanks again for doing what you do!
Nice to see that you got over the MSC debacle. Another great review. Keep it going!😊
I believe the 3 showers in the bathroom is for when you are in a hurry and have 3kids to get ready for dinner, LOL!! I am sailing on the Icon in December so, it is a good point to check the weather before sailing. I booked the club and if the weather is too bad, I can cancel 48 hrs before, am I correct? The good new is that it is cheaper now. I paid $76 for my ticket. No beds in te water or anything else.
Thank you for all the great honest content!
Ive been a travel agent for 15 years but genuinely the cruise knowledge youve given me 🙌🏼🙌🏼 just love you guys! You're so genuine and honest so thank you so much! As for the shower situation... Maybe a parent showering at the same time as young children with it being one of the only cabins that allow 4+ in it? Maybe!🥰🥰🥰
The Aqua 80’s show was amazing. One of the best cruise shows we have ever seen with some great music. We watched it twice and once was from our boardwalk balcony room.
Always nice to see your videos. Greetings from Washington DC.
Omg yes oasis!! Going on royal carribean for the first time in September and it’s on Oasis! I hope you guys are going to make some more videos around the rest of the ship ❤ love the honesty as always. That room looks incredible! You should try the new Celebrity Ascent 😊
Absolutely love your videos. You guys are so honest and very fair to all the cruises. Keep up your great work!!!
Thanks so much!
You at least had a Coastal Kitchen. We had a suite on Freedom and it did not have this restaurant. Would definitely have liked it.
Great fan of you both 💞
You're both so genuine and funny.
😂
Your reviews are the best. Thanks again for being you.❤
Thank you so much 😁
Going on this suite for Harmony of the Seas and very excited! Appreciate getting a better understanding of Sky class and what you actually get; I've considered going to Star class but I think for just 2 people what we have is plenty.
Hi Ben and David. I watch a few different cruise bloggers and love that you all take a different approach. I steer away from these big ships but wonder from your experience if the ship experience is more important than the ports on these big ships? My husband and I met working on the Pacific princess 46 years ago. Ships are so different now.
It's so pretty. I love how you guys are always so down to earth and grateful and fun and animated. I've been watching your videos to get my fix until our cruise on Quantum in Sept. We CANNOT WAIT. It's such a beautiful ship. I'm so jealous. It's on my list to go on a ship that has a Central Park. It's such a cool concept. Have so much fun!!
Central Park..Wow...this is a lovely boat. Maybe one day I'll get to go😊( I could pack 20 people into your cabin!)
So LOVE the Harry Potter "Room under the stairs" reference! I thought of it before you guys even said it! That's how I know I'm watching the right guys! Love your videos - keep up the great videos - you're helping me decide what cruises (and lines) I really want to narrow my "adventures" down to.
Our first Royal Caribbean ship was Oasis of the Seas and we absolutely loved it. We've sailed on Allure as well. We stayed in balcony cabins, and that suite you both stayed in looks awesome. Love all that space and the loft bedroom.
Thank you so much for making those videos ! Have a lovely week!
We took advantage of the prices post covid and were fortunate enough to get that same suite on Symphony of the seas with a royal buy up (I think for an extra 750 or so). It was amazing. I'm kicking myself as we didnt take advantage of many of the suite perks but then again, we loved that suite and spent lots of time in it! Truly was a dream come true!
Were you able to make your TV go up into the ceiling???
We took our best friends who had never cruised on the Oasis last October.We have no advanced status on RCCL, but have enjoyed our several cruises with them on smaller ships. Of all of our about 25 cruises, this was my favorite. We stayed in regular balcony cabins, got the drink package for the first time (loved it) and absolutely loved the ship, food and shows. I would do it or a sister ship again in a heartbeat!!! Our friends are now hooked on cruising and want to go again.
I absolutely adore Ben and David. ❤ ❤
Hey, guys, I've travelled a lot but never been on a cruise. Just testing the waters with your videos. Wanted to say that I appreciate your professionalism and honesty (and fun).
Valeu!
thank you so much
We were just on the Wonder a month ago and the New Updates here on Oasis make it look almost exactly the same, thats awesome. 150 central park was our favorite restaurant!
Love that ya'll are treating yourselves good after MSC :)
Well done listing even minor downsides to your experience. Everyone values different aspects of a vacation differently, so the fact that you list even seemingly minor things may help someone make a more informed decision if any of those things is a big deal to them!
I’ve never cruised before. When you make coffee or tea, do you use the water from the bathroom sink for it? Thank you! And YAY for this fancy accommodation!
07:30 wait, they just leave your door keycard outside your door the day you leave, where anyone could walk up and take it? Isn't that all but asking for a security/safety issue? And aren't they also used for your on-board money? (I've only ever been on one 3-day cruise when I was a kid, but that was 25ish years ago, so I don't know much about them)
Another fabulous volg. Thanks Ben & David❤❤❤
ALWAYS,enjoy your honest, informative videos. You guys always make me laugh at some point. Keep up your great reviews. Looking forward to yr next cruise. Enjoy.
Love love you guys! I feel like I’ve been on sooo many cruises and each one is better. Thank you so much 💙💙
This is timely! I’m looking at RC Oasis of the Seas for holiday.
I have one of those neck fans. It's really loud.
Hi Ben and David, thanks as always for your candid reviews and love watching the channel. We are RCCL cruisers and the highest we have been is in a Jr. Suite which is very nice but really not much more on perks but plenty of additional cabin space. I also agree with you 100% when you are paying that kind of money for a suite you should be getting a garden not a plate with an apple and 6 grapes…lol. Royal really should be looking at upgrading those things when you pay so much money.
Feel like I’ve seen this before. Things like you discussing the tv not going up. Very familiar.
