Great vlog which bought back a lot of memories. The cruise we went on was so special as it was meant to be an anniversary cruise for friends of ours. Grace had cancer and she suggested a whole group of us join them. The cruise became the last trip for her who passed away. It was everything like you experienced. My brother who has been on about 10 cruises advised us to do our research. I did a lot of research beforehand, even to the point of finding out where all the restaurants and pubs were before we boarded. That way we eliminated all the floors that were just accommodation and didn't spend any time walking up and down looking for places. So glad you enjoyed your cruise. For people who have never been on a cruise I highly recommend it.
Wow - that sounds like an incredibly special trip. What an amazing memory to have together. I'm so happy you got to share something so wonderful :) And great tip to figure out where things are before you board!
@@travelforphoebe girl omg I am your biggest fan... I am starting my jamaican travel series 3 weeks from now.. I would love to have you on a podcast am doing in jamaica.... I know your extremelybusy person but this would literally save my soul..... you are my biggest motivation.
Me too Audrey - just so happy I got to meet you both! You two girls made the trip so very special for me AND all your amazing filming ideas really brought this video to life! Thank you for helping me :) P x
It's great that you got to spend quality time with people from my hometown of Chicago. Also, that you had quality time with those who appear to be old enough to be your mother, plus spend quality time with people close to your age. It came across to the viewer as if you had a storybook vacation, something out of a movie.
They were all so lovely - just the kindest people to see me on day one and invite me into their group. They would invite me to dinner and drinks every day, no matter where they were going on the ship they'd make room for me and include me. It was just so lovely :)
Loved seeing your experience on the Norwegian Spirit and love to see you loved it. We have done quite a few cruises on NCL and love the Spirit the best. We actually took the trip from Sydney back to Auckland on March 3, 2024 so just a few weeks after you did.
Hey Phoebe, great to see you enjoying yourself, I also went on a cruise from Florida to the Bahamas- such amazing feeling- being in the middle of nowhere doing all kinds of things, 1 thing I loved when I did my cruise was go on a discovery tour through the ship in places u could never go and my favourite spot was going to the bridge where the captain was. Going down a waterslide in the middle of the ocean on a cruise liner was also such amazing experience. Hope your doing well Phoebe Phil
Great blog and so glad you enjoyed! I’ve done a couple of cruises and whilst they seem to have a bit of a reputation for being primarily for retirees, my experience was they attract a whole cross section of friendly, positive passengers across all generations and demographics. I recommend them for a totally relaxing, relatively stress-free holiday - no cooking, cleaning, making beds, no worry about drink driving, relying on Ubers or public transport to get back to your accommodation and you only have to unpack once the whole trip - food, activities and entertainment options covers a vast array of tastes, interests abilities and mood on board and you’re given a choice of interesting off board excursions to suit mobility and interests - lots of scope for personalising your own cruise experience! A cruise is a great way to reset and self-care if you’re feeling the pressures, stress and challenges of life or suffering burnout and a great way to meet people! There are often so many great discounted deals on offer so a cruise isn’t necessarily expensive with all its inclusions compared with other holiday options!
Totally agree! I had thought it would be all retirees but I met so many people from all walks of life - It's what I loved about it most :) I made so many friends of different ages and from different countries! LOVED all the things you shared too about not having to stress and having everything taken care of. SO easy! I'll definitely be cruising again - it was such a welcome break from my usual style of go-go-go travel!
Also I like that there’s no driving - I’ve been on a lot of road trip adventure holidays and whilst I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them all you tend to come back feeling like you need a holiday from all the driving and checking in and out of accommodation that can be wearing!
Hi Phoebe! We have December and I watch the vlog again! Soo funny vlog.You must had an amazing experience! On a NORWEGIAN cruiseship!My home country.Thanks again Phoebe!
Just a reminder to watch the spacing when you’re typing ☺️🙌🏻 I found this comment in the ‘held’ folder in the back-end of RUclips. When it thinks you’re putting a URL in, it holds it - so just make sure to use correct spacing. I know it’s frustrating for you when your comments disappear and don’t want it to happen again to you 🙈
Hi again! That is a serious gift you have being able to mix with new people like that. I would see that as a massive challenge especially on a cruise. Lyttletown really looks like my kind of place. Thanks again. Loved it!
I used to really struggle with it but since I've been travelling solo I've learned how wonderful it is to mix with new people :) It's changed my life! P xx
Glad you had such an awesome time. I did 4 NCL cruises when I was back living in the states. But it's been 10 years since my last one. Hope you get to try some other cruises and we get to come along for the ride:-) Look forward to seeing the next adventure.
Hi Phoebe! You on cruise! And a Norwegian ship! I'm from Norway so that was a little funny.You really enjoyed,look soo happy! Thanks a lot for sharing! A good one.
Hiya! Those views from the balcony are to die for, like a permanent ocean view 🤩. I like the way you describe it as Christmas with no rules. Sounds like a dream come true. Wait what, you've never been to Tasmania? It's the most beautiful part of Australia (except for Cape Le Grand National Park in Esperance). Nice to meet people who watch your channel along your way. Still waiting for the moment I accidentally run into you. I've never cruised before so your guide was very helpful! My first ever cruise hopefully will be from Papeete to Mainland Australia someday, because I want to see the French Polynesian islands so badly. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week 🤙
Ahhh so cool, I went on Hollander America with my parents from Australia through Hobart to Auckland so a few of the same stops as you. Cruising through Fiordland National Park/ Milford Sound was 😮, Well off to my Tasmania adventure 😊
What did you get at the bakery? « I wanted the baker but he was unavailable. » haha 😂 cracked me up! Love that you’re making friends everywhere you go! 😊
hi phoebe, watching this on Andrei's computer. I was born in Napier, lovely art deco city. much love. from Andrei ( master chief and Chloe, and baby aussie Vic.)
So excited to have found you!! I'm a keen cruiser, would you go again? Burnie is my home area and I work there. Always thought why would you come to Burnie. Curious to know what you thought of Burnie? wish there was more shore excursions to other areas around Burnie.
Where’s your signature phrase, “Gooood morning, everybody!“ 😂 Glad you enjoyed the cruise life. Cruises vary from predominantly retirees to party ships, but looks like you got a great balance of everything! Did you feel restless on days out on sea? Some people don’t like the feeling of not being able to leave the ship, especially if it’s a small ship. But it looks like you had lots to do onboard, especially with your new friends!
Welcome home. If u haven't tripped off somewhere else overseas, that is. Personally, I don't think I could do a cruise. It doesn't appeal. That's just me. U look like u had a blast. Anyway, will watch next week and find out where u end up.
Thanks so much for watching this one, Anita! Honestly, I didn't think a cruise was for me either but I had a lotta fun :) Would definitely do one again! I'd love to do one in the Caribbean next!
Pull into Melbourne...and drink Coffee. Well played Phoebe! Hey quick nerd question if I may. Have you always shot/uploaded in in 4K or is this a new thing? Footage looks super crisp!
Hi Phoebe, Was wondering if you could guide us which debit and credit card are best to use while travelling the world. We are from Melbourne Australia and will be travelling the world in coming weeks. Any pointers will be very helpful. Thanks, LostSoulsNV ❤
Hey! I’m with a bank that offers zero fees on all tap transactions so I get by just using my card everywhere I go. If I’m going to a country where I know I need cash I’ll take a good amount of cash out once and wear the cost of the withdrawal but it’s rare I need cash. Happy to share the name of the bank with you privately on IG :) doesn’t seem a good idea to advise where I do my banking on the internet for the world to see haha
Didn't you just go on a Cruise around the Adriatic last year? Smaller boat, but still the same idea. Other than that amazing Vlog as always, Phoebe!!!!!!
Nice video thanks Phoebe. Just wondering if this is a sponsored video or did you pay for it yourself. The myriad of cruise specialist bloggers make this really clear from the outset. It's the only way we can get a real feel for the true experience, both the good and the not so good.
Hey Mark :) All my videos that ever contain any kind of sponsorship are marked. When I upload a video in the back-end of RUclips it asks me if I received anything or was paid and when I check yes, viewers see a pop-up appear on-screen in the video saying the video contains paid promotion.
Thank you so so much :) I'm learning with every shoot, that's for sure! Just got a brand new action camera I'm going to be trying out this week - hoping I can elevate my content with some really cool new shots!! Can't wait for you to see.
Oh that's interesting to hear! I have nothing but hotel rooms to compare it to so for me, coming from Japan not all that long ago, the room was huge in comparison haha :) I'll have to do another few cruises to get a sense of stateroom sizes!

Awesome video Phoebe, I found you through your Vlog about the Ghan
Keep up the great work
Thank you! So glad you found my channel 😌
So cool to see you were on my home town of Dunedin! Sorry it was raining but Speights was a good choice for a rainy day. 😊
It really was perfect for a rainy day!!
Ha, good for you! Saving cruises for my 70’s 😂 nice to see what to expect! Haha

😂😂😂 what a line! Martha is a classic 😂😍
Really enjoy your vlogs-and love your red maxi dress off the shoulder you wear -it’s so pretty -where can I buy one please?🌸
Cruising is my favourite form of travel❤
It’s SO much fun!
I'm heading into Sydney Harbor now. Just passed the Norwegian Spirit heading out of the bay.
Hahahaha that’s so funny!!!

Would of been awesome to stop in Queenstown but Dunedin is not bad.
oooooh yeah, I do LOVE Queenstown! :)
