I was on radiance with you guys on my honeymoon! Me and my husband were in room 1229, we walked past and saw your youtube channel picture on your door, I took a picture and decided to subscribe ❤❤😊
We were on this sailing with you. Saw you both at the pasta spot on the last sea day. We ate in the dining room for dinner because the buffet wasn’t appealing. Thanks for the great videos!
Hi KT Travels, did you enjoy the cruise? The Radiance buffet is never really appealing to us compared to some of the other cruise lines we’ve been on lol. We usually eat in the dining room but this time we didn’t see anything on the menu for any of the days that really appealed to us. What is your favorite dish to eat in the main dining room? Shug loves the lobster tail on the longer cruises and I love the chicken cordon bleu. Thanks for watching 😊
Deciding between Royal or Carnival for my 30th bday trip. Curious to hear your thoughts! Also thank you for disclosing the parking cost info! P.s: Dr. Pepper is Elite!
Hi Oleander Love, that’s a tough one they both have their pluses and minuses although we lean a little more towards Royal. Carnival has a better selection of food to eat as in more places to eat. Royal has a larger and better buffet and we love the design of the Royal ships. We also think the entertainment on Royal is better. Either way you can’t go wrong cruising is just beautiful. Thank you for the question and happy early birthday. Come back around after your cruise and let us know what you decided to do 😊
Alan, I heard if you put the beach towel hooks on the bottom of the shower curtain, it helps hold it down. Haven't tried it yet, but worth a try. Thanks for sharing the video, Going on Panorama & Radiance April 2024.
We were also very surprised how empty it was but that must be because everyone was already at the Marketplace eatin because it was crazy crowded lol. We really enjoy Carnival Radiance 😊
I was on the Radiance last August and was pleasantly surprised by the buffet food. It was pretty good! I see Alan loves him so chocolate haha I’ll be on the Panorama in June. I believe you all were on her correct? I’ll have to watch your vlogs about the ship. I did love the Radiance as well as the CD, Deon it was good to see him in your vlog
Hi lisa, yes I do love my chocolate ice cream lol. Yes we were on panorama back in December it was an awesome cruise. We did one of our favorite excursions the camels which was an awesome experience. Definitely check out some of our vlogs from that cruise we have several and thank you for watching this one. Also have a great cruise 😊
Hi I’m cruising the carnival radiance in the next week. I have a question: Will they except an expired driver license with my renewal paperwork from the DMV? Hence California doesn’t print the actual picture on the paperwork. Please advise.
I do agree Carnival buffets are the WORST! I did the Radiance last November an was so annoyed. The dining room sucked but had an amazing experience at the Steak house. Food was better.
Yes you sure can as long as they’re in cans. Shug always brings a 12 pack of Coke and I bring a 12 pack of Dr Pepper. She has two heavy duty grocery bags that we use to carry them on with us. Thank you for the question and have a great cruise 😊
Hi AC Cobra, if you’re looking to do any water activities there isn’t any real good time of the year for Ensenada and Catalina. They never really get warm but yes in October it will be chilly outside. Definitely bring a jacket especially when you’re outside on the deck of the cruise ship. Thank you for the question 😊
Hi Guy, Carnival is known as the party cruise line but to be honest we are married so we aren’t really looking out for that. When you get off your cruise follow back up to this and let us know as we have gotten that question before. Thank you for watching 😊
Which cruise line do you like the best? Can you maybe go on a Norwegian cruise if like to see that. I went on roual carribean i like it better than carnival
I would have to say Royal Caribbean is our favorite cruise line. We’ve been on Norwegian in the past and I’m sure we will definitely sail on them again.
Great to know, thank you! Was it packed in your carry-on/luggage or did you carry it around until you were able to get to your state room? Much appreciation!
For Carnival you’re not allowed to bring anything on in a bottle it has to be in a can so if you can find water in a can you could bring that on but that’s still considered part of your 12 pack. You can also pre-order and pay for water with Carnival and have it delivered to your state room so it’s there when you’re board.
Hi BO KNOTT, the soda fountain drinks are not free. Your free drinks would be lemonade fruit punch apple juice coffee and tea. You’re allowed to bring a 12 of soda on board with you which we always do. Thank you for the question
That’s interesting we were just on carnival panorama December 15 and it did not have it. Also according to Carnival‘s website only the three ships we mentioned have it although carnival jubilee is coming soon.
The cell service on that deck for Shug was horrible the entire cruise. For myself it was fine. Outside of that it was fine. When are you taking your cruise?

Hi Nikkiisadiva4843, I don’t see that being a problem. I wouldn’t even take out or mention the paper renewal. Just show them your ID and birth certificate. They’re really just matching up the names on those two but if you’re still not sure I would recommend giving Carnival a call. When are you going? We will be on the Radiance this Monday, September 11. Have a great cruise 😊
@@ShugAlansTravelChannel Thanks for the information. I’ll be on the carnival radiance on the 15th of September for my birthday 🥳 Super excited! It’s my 1st cruise. But I’m praying my brothers receive his DL before the cruise. It literally just expired September 3rd. And I’ve called carnival but most of the CSR live in different states and just read you what the required documents are. Not sure if they really know. Since we live in California and the renewal paperwork does not have the actual picture on it.
With the drivers license number being on both the paperwork and the ID he should be fine. A lot of times it depends on the Rep that’s checking your paperwork. If they’ve been around a while they usually push through it pretty quick just looking at the picture on the ID and checking the birth certificate. Sometimes when it’s a newer employee they try to be more thorough. If that happens then I would pull out the renewal paper and show them that it’s been renewed and the drivers license number on both is the same. If they don’t let that go I would ask to speak to someone else. Let us know how it goes and have a great cruise 😊

Cool couple. A couple that plays together stays together. Heading out in the Radiance in two days.
Thank you for the great comment and have an awesome cruise!

We’ll be on Radiance next month I’ll have to give that a try. I can’t stand that dreaded shower curtain 😉
That's so surprising how empty the waiting area was. In the next year I'll be going on the Radiance a couple of times. I always have a great time
We were also very surprised how empty it was but that must be because everyone was already at the Marketplace eatin because it was crazy crowded lol. We really enjoy Carnival Radiance 😊
It was wonderful chatting with you two wonderful people
Hi Blaine, it was absolutely our pleasure 😊
I was on the Radiance last August and was pleasantly surprised by the buffet food. It was pretty good! I see Alan loves him so chocolate haha

Thanks for this video. Love the shirts by the way!
Thank you Mario and thanks for watching 😊
That’s a bummer on the buffet. 😢 loved the video 💜
How ironic we’re watching your navigator of the seas embarkation day video right now lol
Just found you guys. Have you taken the 14day Hawaiian cruise on the Radiance?
Hi Lyntoria, we have not taken that cruise yet but I’m sure that would be an absolutely incredible cruise!
Going in just a week. Are you really able to bring your own soft drinks?
Yes you sure can as long as they’re in cans. Shug always brings a 12 pack of Coke and I bring a 12 pack of Dr Pepper. She has two heavy duty grocery bags that we use to carry them on with us. Thank you for the question and have a great cruise 😊
Were the walls in your cabin magnetic?
Hi Balinda, yes the walls are magnetic. Thank you for the question 😊
We are looking this October. Is that a good time? Will it be cold??
Hi AC Cobra, if you’re looking to do any water activities there isn’t any real good time of the year for Ensenada and Catalina.

@@ShugAlansTravelChannel
Thank you I appreciate you 👍
It’s our pleasure. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask that’s what we’re here for!
Going on carnival radiance in two days this Friday - is a good place for singles?
Hi Guy, Carnival is known as the party cruise line but to be honest we are married so we aren’t really looking out for that. When you get off your cruise follow back up to this and let us know as we have gotten that question before. Thank you for watching 😊
Going on the same cruise. See you tomorrow
Sorry King Grow973, Guy posted that comment 8 days ago so I’m sure he’s back already.
Which cruise line do you like the best? Can you maybe go on a Norwegian cruise if like to see that. I went on roual carribean i like it better than carnival
I would have to say Royal Caribbean is our favorite cruise line. We’ve been on Norwegian in the past and I’m sure we will definitely sail on them again.
Hi, would you please advise on how you brought your can drinks? Was it in 2, 6 packs or a 12 pack? Didn't see you carry it in the video. TIA!
Hi Kim, we both brought on a 12 pack each. I brought on a 12 pack of Dr Pepper and Shug brought on a 12 pack of Coke. Thank you for the question 😊
Great to know, thank you! Was it packed in your carry-on/luggage or did you carry it around until you were able to get to your state room? Much appreciation!
Shug has two sturdy bags that we put them in and we carry them on with us until we get to our state room.
@ShugAlansAdvInCruising Great to know. Thanks again for the tips! You guys are super awesome!!!
Thank you Kim 😊
Also can I take on water what is it per a cruiser for take on drinks
For Carnival you’re not allowed to bring anything on in a bottle it has to be in a can so if you can find water in a can you could bring that on but that’s still considered part of your 12 pack. You can also pre-order and pay for water with Carnival and have it delivered to your state room so it’s there when you’re board.
You 2 are so cute.....I enjoy watching you both on your adventures.
Thank you so much Laura 😊

Thank you so much we appreciate you taking the time to watch 😊
When was this sailing? Just sailed the Radiance April 17-21 2023.
Hi Shane, we are actually on the ship right now. Did you have a good cruise?
@@ShugAlansTravelChannel I had a blast like I hope you are having!!! Enjoy, and waiting for your upcoming videos!!
...and just subscribed so I don't miss them.
That’s awesome Shane thank you so much we really appreciate it 😬
HI.. ARE THE FOUNTAIN DRINKS FREE FREE? I SEE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR OWN
Hi BO KNOTT, the soda fountain drinks are not free. Your free drinks would be lemonade fruit punch apple juice coffee and tea. You’re allowed to bring a 12 of soda on board with you which we always do. Thank you for the question
Yesss the shower curtain 🤢 I hate it too
😎
Is this a old video because panorama has Shaq chicken.
That’s interesting we were just on carnival panorama December 15 and it did not have it. Also according to Carnival‘s website only the three ships we mentioned have it although carnival jubilee is coming soon.
Panorama did not have Shaqs April 8th sailing either
The Panorama does not have Shaq chicken
He got liquor in that water bottle
We missed that
Just booked on deck one. How is it?
