For me the last check in time is perfect. There is no congestion in the cruise terminal, your cabin is ready, and most people are finish running around like chicken head cut off. Also, cruising solo is the ultimate. Everything at your own leisure. A cruise buddy now and then is OK, but solo is perfect.

Grand Turk, Columbus first set foot in the Americas and the first manned US spacecraft landed.

Low key platinum flex at 6:12 😆. great video!

Pleasure meeting you today!! ❤🎉

Thomas it was such a pleasure meeting you

Thank you. I'm sold that I don't need to book an excursion for Amber Cove.

Boat Drinks

You’re never depressed if you Always Be Booked!

Horizons restaurant is the one for Anytime dining. Reflections restaurant is the one for set dining. Thanks, I really enjoyed how much you packed into this video.

5:10 - I understand your reasons for #8 - but I still subscribe to getting on the ship early - I get the port 11-11:30, the initial rush is gone, get onboard fast, muster drill, a leisurely lunch at a speciality restaurant to avoid the crazy embarkation buffet and by then rooms are open. Unpack workmanlike style and by 2 PM administrative duties are done and I’m enjoying the ship. 🛳️

Love the top ten! Thanks for info.

PLEASE DO NOT BOOK. STAY AWAY. THE CARNIVAL VISTA IS BROKEN AGAIN FOR THE SIXTH TIME. This is a 100% Carnival and Vista issue and the individuals that should be held responsible and FIRED on the spot are the useless CHRISTINE DUFFY AND JOHN HEALD. These two wastes spaces of individuals have given all women leaders and brand representatives a bad name. I was on this same horrible Vista ship when it broke the 3rd time. Week after week this shameless liar and corporate greedy woman, Christine Duffy would send out emails one day before embarkation to all booked guests stating that the ship had JUST developed a propulsion issue and that it was being fixed by Engineers on board...She and her corporate puppet John Heald LIED and sailed the ship week after week for 9 months. As a result ports of call were cancelled or we arrived hours late resulting in all shore excursions and destination visits to be cancelled, itinerary changes, etc. This is the height of shamelessness by Carnival and specifically these corporate thugs. It is very easy to stand on the sideline and point fingers at disgruntled passengers who are calling out the TRUTH that Carnival is running a scam with this Vista ship at the cost of thousands of guests week after week. If something like this happens to you then you will realize versus judging people who are suffering due to Corporate greed. I cannot insist enough everyone people - please write emails to John Weinstein the President of Carnival Corporation to fire Christine Duffy the Present of Carnival Cruise Line and this wasted space John Heald. This is simple unacceptable! SHAME ON CARNIVAL! SHAME ON CHRISTINE DUFFY! SHAME ON JOHN HEALD!

4:15, number 8. If you arrive early to the ship, you will drag your carry-on until 1:30, when the cabins are ready.

No. 8. My best kept secret. Avoid that messy crowd.

I think you finally nailed down what makes me tick in retirement...always having something to look forward to. The big C put a damper on our first couple years of retirement, but we've been going at it pretty hard ever since. I love planning our travels. It is one of my great joys and I'm so glad I have time for it now. Always Be Booked is a great motto to live by!

I love these! We are headed out for a 10 day Mediterranean cruise in 12 days and cannot wait!

My favorites are dance like no one is watching, hear as much music as your soul can take, and participate in everything that makes you laugh.

Love #7 - love connecting music to a specific memory. Also #4 my husband and I went to the gym or walking track every morning. Nice tips!

I totally agree with you on the Embarkation Day advice! And I'm about to do my second Solo cruise the end of October to Canada..........I had a blast the first time!

this one is brilliant! full of energy & charging ahead 🎉 {But # 8 not fot me - when that ship is ready for me, I want to be on it - as early as possible}

Don't support #8, we love starting our cruise as early as we can😎🐸

Always like hearing helpful tips🐸

Looks like a Tarantino film compared to bubbas cruising nonsense

When visiting a new island I try to take a tour that provides some history and talks about the culture - #9 Arriving late can be sketchy. I was once delayed by almost 2 hours arriving to Port Canaveral because of a car accident. If that happened late in the day on a late arrival plan I would have likely missed the sailing. #8 Most of my cruises are solo. I do enjoy cruising with friends and family but solo can be liberating. #5 ABB. Yes indeed. I have 6 in the next 17 months. Cheers! #1 Great show. Thanks Tommy.

thanks. sailing on Sept 15 2024. can't wait.

Wait what? YOu never did this before?? My GOSH! This series was FAN TAS TIC!! You left us wanting to see more and more cruises with you. Thanks for doing this and I look forward to so many more vids... BTW, I will be on her in Feb 2025 and you just kicked my anticipation way off the charts

Thank you, that was a great video <3

Great Job 👏

Another winner Tommy….keep ‘em coming!

Great video. Released the same time as Theo Von with Trump. Coincidence?

Great video! What a monster of a ship! Not really for me but it’s beautiful 🩷

Great tour-dare I say, that pizza looked decent....

I really like your style vlogging. My family and I are headed out on the 8/24 sailing of the Vista!

I'm glad that Jack's Shack has improved. I had built it up in my mind listening to all the podcasts during Covid then when I went there in 2022 it was horrible. Dead vibe, horrible "service", and crazy prices that were more than on the ship. I'll give it another try next time I am there. Maybe in November. We have a Royal cruise that is supposed to go to Labadee, but I have heard they are subsituting Grand Turk on many of them because of the unrest in Haiti.

Great video. You get better and better. ❤. Can you leave a small donation on your videos?

We sailed Vista literally right after you July 27-Aug 4. Gary the CD was great. Loved the Red Frog Pub & Brewery and all the live music everywhere from the atrium to the Havana Bar. Sad that Vista is having “issues” right now. Hopefully get those ironed out. She’s definitely my favorite ship.

So glad you are back in charge of cruising. Always love your “take” on it all.

trying to get Tommy some viewing hours. Plus its been 4 years since Ive seen this montage. I will be finally joining the group cruise in 40 days!!! Freedom of the seas 2024

Not sure how I missed this when it posted but happy to have come across it. Great job. I love that ship a well.

What kind of wireless deals you slingin? :)

Loved getting the vibes of this ship with Tommy!

Great vlog Tommy

Great stuff man….no clue how you manage to drag yourself into the gym after a night of saucing it up.

We are debating the Vista or Mardi Gras in January? What do you suggest?🐸

Great musical choices

Great watch. Keep em coming.

Thanks for that art auction peek. I have always been curious. Good vlogging man!

Generally speaking, I found the service to be terrible at all the bars and restaurants near the pier.

IMAX hungover…goodnight 😝
