Thanks for watching! You can find all our Transatlantic Cruise videos here ruclips.net/video/VfOZRxwX3Ow/видео.html
Repositioning cruises are very appealing. Most are long and with a minimal capacity. You get a lot of open space and plenty of down time to pick and choose what appeals to you. I truly appreciate how independent you guys are as a couple where you each find time to do your own thing but still spend a lot of time together to work out, attend seminars and eat. Not only are you guys informative but truly a role model for how partners can still move forward and learn from each other even though you've been together for a while.
Thank you for those wonderful compliments.
You explain things better than a lot of people that dedicate their channels to cruising! Glad you are enjoying yourself!
I appreciate that!
The sunset never gets old.
We've done five transatlantic cruises, our favorite! Low cost, same rewards as a Caribbean cruise. As for formal nights, I see your formal night view. Some people don't ordinarily dress up for a formal night, and there are many, which is fine. Don't conform to what some people want you to do! Having said that, on the five transatlantic cruises we took, I always packed a tuxedo, it can be done. If you're moving on, I can see it.
You guys are awesome, as you do a better job of describing cruising than the dedicated cruise channel creators IMHO- it is so obvious that you are attentive to your viewers! Thanks1
Wow, thank you!
I have never been on a cruise and you guys have been so informative, appreciate it. So many choices & options available to you, I had no clue. All the water views & sunsets were gorgeous.
Our pleasure!
Thanks for booking the cruise so I could come along! I was surprised that you were almost completely alone in several areas of the ship!
We made it a point to try and shoot our videos when no one was around so we didn’t get other people in the video
I love this couple. Just found them and binge warching.
You guys inspired me to add a repositioning cruise to my bucket list. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
The very first folks that I really enjoy watching their videos about their experience on a ship. Just subscribed and can’t wait to watch more of their videos!
Welcome aboard! You can find our cruise videos in this playlist
ruclips.net/p/PLpqJFyT0tg-Ih2pAtv9-Icz8tqkAzepXy
What I tell most new cruisers is that you don’t have to do everything! Also remember to relax as well!
Watching your videos is always fun, but seeing you enjoying yourselves on a "repo" is great, glad you're having a blast. Another longer cruise you both may enjoy is doing the Panama Canal. There are several types, especially with Princess so make sure you are doing a full transit. They are about 14 days in length, but with about half of those days in different ports of call. Usually from Florida to the west coast, or the reverse. Love the days at sea which you can now relate to, going to the canal (we've done it twice) is both interesting, historical and just plain fun. Look forward to your next videos.... these are a great treat for everyone.
Thanks! We’ve been looking at those and thought it might be a fun way to get home from visiting family in Los Angeles.
That was our duck!! Yay! Ben is my son :) thanks for the shout out
You’re welcome! Thank you for hiding the duck. It made Kait’s day.
For future laundry days, get laundry detergent sheets. Lightweight and easy to pack.I use them all the time at home.
Great tip!
I am so glad for you both. This is one of the best of it's kind I have seen. For the same reasons you are followed. You love each other. That makes everything so special! You are a lovely couple. I know that there are so many that are glad for you, and think that this is the whole reason. I do miss that closeness. Thanks again. Keep having your adventures! adventures adventures adventures
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video. I have never done a repositioning cruise but am excited about trying them out. You guys have provided a great insight into what to expect, with useful information about what to do, how you feel, the advantages of having a balcony and the large number of activities available on sea days. I like the fact that it didn't seem crowded at all, which I guess is a feature of repositioning. Very inspiring!
Our pleasure!
I was also on this wonderful cruise (my first one!) and now I can relive it through your videos. I still miss the Sky Princess!
Good thing I was eating my dinner, while watching this! All that food looked incredible! Sounds like you will have to have a vacation to recuperate from this busy cruise! Thank you for your update, thoroughly enjoyed it!
It was all great - and yes we need some time off!
Sky Princess is one of my favorite ships. Lots to do, great crew, wonderful entertainment, and super food choices. I think you made a great choice for a repositioning cruise.
We agree!
You guys look like you have so much fun.
I had no idea of all the different activities. So something for everyone. It is also nice to devide your time with others, alone and with each other. The views, the food, what an adventure, thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Omg that sunset. Wow.
There were some incredible ones.
Both of you are among my favourite youtubers. Love yr channel and the way you present yr video. It's alwats informative, fun and interesting to watch. BonVoyage!
Thank you so much 😀
I was always wondering about the freshness of the food items - especially vegetables and fruits after 6-8 days at sea. Looking at what was available on your plates, seemed quite fresh and delicious. One of the more interesting repositioning cruises is on Windstar, where they go 14 days - all at sea, from Miami to Lisbon. In fact this cruise departs on April 8, and is on a much smaller ship (Star Legend - all suites), which carries only 312 passengers/190 crew. It happens to be one of Windstar's most discounted cruises, at $1400/pp, or about $100/day pp.
We were on the boat for 14 days and the food was onboarded in Ft Lauderdale (they didn’t do a pick up along the way). Everything was very fresh and we had fresh fruit and veggies (made lots of salads) during the entire cruise. We did notice that they would do a big beef roast one night and the next they’d have a beef stew or something with what was leftover. We really enjoyed the food
Love cruises. We used to go on cruises every year prior to the pandemic. Now we're too afraid to go on it. We really miss it. Love the food, activities, the Casino, the Bingo and the shows. We could just stay on the ship and not the ports (since we've been to all of the Caribbean's) Looking forward in the future when the dust settles and we are confident to travel again to other countries and Asia. Enjoy! Video looked great! 好羨慕！
You can do it!
Skamdemik
Looks absolutely stunning. Never cruised myself but looks like a good time. Enjoy and be safe. Jonathan 🇬🇧
Hey, waving from Funchal! Followed your van to truck journeys over the years, as we built our DIY camper van. Now we've moved to Funchal. Cool that you came through here. Looking forward to more of your journeys!
That’s awesome and waving back. We really enjoyed our day there.
Thanks for taking us with you. we love Princess and the cruises are awesome.
Our pleasure!
By day 6, I'm sold on this way to travel to England!
We don’t want to fly anymore
That looks EMPTY! They should call those introvert cruises! Glad you’re having fun!
The ship was about half full. We tried to film around the other passengers.
LOL! Sounds good!
It's an ocean liner, not a cruise ship
@@mergat2970 ?
@@BloomByCC cruise ships are meant for the ship, ocean liners are meant for getting from point a to point b
Wow, thank you for taking the time to create this video. I have never done a repositioning cruise but have been thinking it would be a good way to get to Europe. Thank you for taking us along.
Glad it was helpful!
I love Princess, you chose well! Enjoy your vacation!
Thank you! Will do!
Grandma took me to Hawaii on a 7 day cruise. I enjoyed everything about the trip. Looks like your having a good time.
We are - thank you
Mom must have frantic not here from y’all, love you Mom ! Hope you’re doing fine !!!
2024 will be my first Transatlantic cruise so I've been watching videos and you two have one of the best Great Job!
Thank you and hope you enjoy it as much as we did
Learned a lot about cruise life. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
I was on your cruise! Thank you for helping me relive the memories of this voyage. Such an amazing time for me. I look forward to more videos as it appears I didn't do the same things. The pool looked amazing in the evening and I never went out there!!!
Our pleasure!
The longest cruise I’ve been on is 28 days with about half of those being sea days. I’m from Sydney, Australia and we did a circumnavigation of Australia. We went to every capitol city in every state and territory ( except the Australian Capitol territory aka The ACT, which is inland and I’ve been there umpteen times. We also went to ports that were far away from capitol cities e.g. Albany and Broome in Western Australia. I’ve also done land based tours of every state and territory over the last 40 years. On this voyage we also went to Bali for a day after we left Broome. This allowed us to do duty free shopping. If we had only stayed in Australian waters, and being Australian, no duty free.
Sounds great!
Thank you for posting these videos. Bob and I are contemplating taking a big ship cruise and you have helped answer some of the questions we have. ❤
How fun to see you in a new environment, and OMG, that cocktail you learned how to make looked amazing! PS: That's an awfully bossy watch... 😂
It really is!
Wow that’s was like your living large & letting your feet cut the rug at nighttime clubbing Totally different !!
Loved it ❤️
Thanks Daniel!
Great job to both of you on making such a pleasurable video to watch. Regarding the wrist watch however, once it said to do the 45 minute run, that was when I said to myself, 'TIME TO TOSS IT OVERBOARD!' The reason I say that is due to being a specialist on burning fat and reversing disease for men over 40, I am so aware of all the misinformation out there on how to do it. The 45 min run was my breaking point! Glad you did not do it. Glad to know your common sense took over!
Enjoyed the video. You guys looked like you really had fun. Thank you.
That we did
Very cool watch. Will need to research this option. Have not seen a satellite watch before.
Love how you are explaining everything n detail. Really getting a good sense of things. Only been on three cruises and it has been decades. Now want to cruise again. Love how you are both staying so healthy on the cruise. Please do more cruises on other ships.
We’ll certainly try!
Y'all look great. Stop body shaming yourselves!
Thank you for saying that. I second that!
We went on a cruise through the Panama Canal from Fl all the way to Seattle. On Celebrity cruise and loves it. 16 days and I do enjoy the sea days. Thx for sharing
That is awesome!
Awesome vlog again!
That looks like a great way to travel by cruise. My husband and I are kind of introverts so we would fit right in.
Great summary of the crossing. I've done four of them now, three eastbound from Barbados to Southampton and one from Southampton to Barbados. I love these types of cruises. The last one, I sailed solo. and had such a fantastic time. Time goes so quickly on them. Looks like I had better weather in January. Will definitely go on these cruises again.
Sounds great!
Hi we’re from Aventura. We’re booked on the Oct 9, 2023 Southampton Fort Lauderdale. Enjoy watching your videos,
Awesome! Thank you!
Looks like a beautiful boat. Ooops. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend the officers and crew. I mean "ship"....NOT boat. Very sorry. Anyway, you've motivated me to check out local cruises b/c it looks really like a floating resort. Good for you guys! And thank you for sharing your adventure.
Currently watching this video mid transatlantic on Valiant Lady! ❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@Weretherussos loving it so far!
LOVE BEING WITH YOU ON CRUISE. REALLY BEAUTIFUL . THANKS
Our pleasure!
At least it wasn’t completely, overwhelmingly boring. 😀😂😀😀. Christine says she is surprised there did not appear to be many people up on deck.
There were quite a few people but we managed to shoot around them most of the time
You guys have done a fantastic job. I enjoyed your video sooo much. I have watched loads of cruise videos, however yours is the top. It made me feel I was on the cruise myself. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
I sailed on Princess on a 16 day cruise from Beijing to Bangkok and loved that cruise….but I cruise for the destinations. Next month I’m off for a 14 day Alaska cruise on Sapphire Princess.
What an awesome trip!
All the yesssssssss to Tears for Fears, Joe!! Love 80's new wave. Just got tickets to finally see them for the first time ever this summer in Portland.
Best concert ever. Saw them last summer
Hey I was on Sky in January..that duck might come from the cruise I was on! I recognized a lot of the crew on Sky! I miss that ship. Great stuff! I love sea days...the more the better. Glad you guys are having such a good time.
That’s probably exactly where the duck came from. The crew was awesome. One of these days we should try and get on the same ship at the same time
@@Weretherussos That would be awesome!
What a great cruise! So much fun.
Yes it was!
My go to workout is two cycles on the elliptical, 30 minutes of lifting weights and 10-15 laps in the lap pool on base.
Sounds pretty good. How long is a “cycle”?
@@Weretherussos two 30 minute cycles
Thanks for sharing your journey, it brought back great memories of cruising. You really immersed yourself in the daily activities and showed how interesting cruising can be. Kudos to you both for sticking with the stairs!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video...I Love cruising
Great video! I see you guys repping Storyteller even on the cruise! Can't wait to see your RV adventures over there in Italy!
Thanks so much for the video. Great information for us as we leave in 2 weeks for a Transatlantic cruise and are so looking forward to it.
Have fun!
Looking forward to these videos on cruising. Haven't watched your videos since you started and had the motorhome. Also read Joe's book and then purchased our motorhome and hit the road! We love cruises. So looking forward to your cruise and van trip overseas!
Awesome, thank you!
Wow! Now I want to take a cruise!😮❤❤❤
Good review. I am surprised by how uncrowded it was, just the way I like it.
Nice post..lreminds me I am overdue to cruise
Glad you are having such an amazing experience with this repo cruise! 🙌🙌🤗🤗🤩🤩 I will definitely consider taking one in the future. 👍 Enjoy the rest of your ports. Can’t wait til next video! 😀😀💜💜
You should!
Am thinking this would be the only way I would do a cruise......cost effective and nice digs!
That they were!
Kait! You'll have to teach us how to make lotus flowers!!
Beautiful epik video
Thank you very much!
We did a transatlantic cruise in April of 2019 and were hooked! Booked for TA on 5he Sky for 2024. Thanks for a really informative video!
You’re welcome
It looks FANTASTIC!!! ❤
It was!
I really want to take this cruise! I love that it's not crowded. I'm immunosuppressed, so a crowded cruise isn't in the cards for me.
Good to see a change of pace from the driving. Looks like a great trip and looking forward for your travel through Italy. It is also a great deal.
It really is! Thank you
Great video.
And nice shoutout for Tears for Fears
The best
@@Weretherussos And for the 70s, my fav is Supertramp
Hi I was so glad to see this. I was to sail on the inaugural voyage of the Sky Princess in April 2020. Needless to say that never happened due to Covid. I was to sail Ft. Lauderdale to Copenhagen, by myself. I had previously sailed Princess a number of times across the Atlantic. My favorite cruise is to cross the Atlantic. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! We'd heard that when the Sky (or any boat) went on its first few voyages, there were a number of bugs to work out. So I think you'll have to take that trip now and really enjoy it
Fakeyvid
I love Tears for Fears too!!!!
Thanks for your videos. We are scheduled for a crossing later this year.
Hope you enjoy it!
in 2019 we took a viking cruise scandanavia, and the ice cream, gelato person was always busy.
Lol - sounds familiar
We have never been on a cruise. Looks like Fun. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been considering doing a trans-Atlantic cruise on Princess, but I have been unsure about spending so much time on the ship. I think you have me convinced.
You're very welcome - we enjoyed this cruise so much we're looking at other long cruises that are similar.
What an amazing cruise! Very few cruisers, great weather (so far in this episode anyway), and so many things to do! Ok, who didn’t write down the Soduko puzzle you showed and solve it? Can’t wait to see more of your fabulous trip!
There don't seem to be many people on your cruise. I have learned on repositioning cruises to eat fresh fruit early on and take a piece back to my cabin for a snack. Later on, the fresh while fruit is harder to find. My sister and I would pack light as we extended our ttip on land. We would do hand washing in the sink every 3 days and run a light weight cord around the cabin and pin up our smalls and hang clothes on hangers. Light weight dual purpose fabrics was the key. No ironing necessary.
The ship was about half full. We had fresh fruit for the entire voyage. They did a great job
This was a great video. Thank you so much. What you be so kind in telling me what month of the year this was?
Omg it is so empty!! Beautiful ship!
Yes it was!
I’m used to your channel being on Van life adventures since I want to do that eventually m. Then I’d check out other channels on cruises since I like doing those as well. Totally enjoying your voyage!
And kudos for keeping it moving. I usually gain a few pounds on a cruise
Thanks!
Enjoy your videos
Love the video and glad you are having fun. As a Navy retiree, I crossed that ocean far too many times and spent way too much of my life at sea. Ya won't find me on a ship again.
Lol that makes total sense
We cruise with Princess, and love the low key environment. Love the food and entertainment. I could travel on a cruise line all year round. 😅
Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome, subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Good trip for married people, etc to spend a lot of time together. Also, good time for young couple to start a family. :)
That it is
@@Weretherussos This Transatlantic trip reminds everyone of how people used to travel from US to Europe 100 years or more ago. It is an eye opener for many of us since did not even know this one way cruise trip to Europe still existed.
Curious about your watch. We cruise often and ride Amtrak cross country too, so I'd love to be able to keep track of locations.We don't do formal either. I bring nice black jeans for "formal night" and wear shorts the other nights and then wear that pair the next day. Most of my shorts are quick dry hiking style shorts, so they look nice for most occasions are are easy to clean!
I'm loving how empty the ship looks! My daughter and I have found several ducks the past few years. We really need to take some for hiding.
Hey Chad - there’s a link to the watch in the description and thanks for the tips
All you have to do for formal nights are a dress shirt, slacks, and light sports coat. For Ladies, a spring dress is fine and a light Shawl. Worst case, you can enjoy one of the specialty restaurants or the buffet.
Yeah the jacket/slacks would have been too much for us to bring with the limited luggage we had so buffet it is!
Awesome video guys
cool
