@@karenguest6409 thank you so much for watching ❤️ xx

@@barneysarmy1939 thanks so much for the tip! I hope you have a brilliant cruise - we loved it!

There were some really gorgeous parts to it! The food and sangria were fab too! X

You will have a great time if you do go! This ship was so much fun.

Thank you so much! The aqua show was outstanding - never seen anything like it before xx

Thanks so much for watching! I hope it was helpful ❤️

Thank you so much for watching!

Sorry for the delay in response, we’ve been away! Because LA is so spread out everyone drives. This means it’s generally really easy to park, everywhere is geared up for cars with lots parking. The only places it was trickier was the Griffith Observatory where the car park was small but we went early and it was empty. Santa Monica had lots of parking but was really busy. We managed to get a spot without a wait though. Everywhere else was easy. The majority of parking was either free or very low cost! Have a great trip.

We did - thank you!

Thanks so much - it’s such a gorgeous part of the world isn’t it!

Thanks so much! Yes it would be a really easy city to use public transport. We’ve got friends there at the minute doing just that!

Yes! It’s in the desk area of the cabin and works well.

Great tip - thank you!

Great tip, thank you!

Thank you so much! We need to book a trip again!! X

Thank you so much for your comment. I am so pleased it was helpful. I hope you have a great trip ❤️

Thanks so much for letting us know, I think because there was a few that were closed we got them muddled up! It sounds great.

@@paradisefallsfamily we can imagine. We are at the park on a weekly base years now. That ensures we know our way. We always love to see vlogs of first time visitors. Because we want to help out with better and more actual information we started our channel (almost a year ago). We make a monthly news update about Efteling and we give tips and tricks for Dutch Themeparks. There are so many good rides over here. 😀

@@DutchThemeparkNetworkNL so cool that you get to go so often!

@@paradisefallsfamily we live on a 20 minute drive. That makes visiting the park much easier.

Thanks for watching! We had an amazing trip and loved Hawaii so much. We can’t wait to return one day!

Thank you so much for your comment and for subscribing! Hopefully you will find our videos helpful with the planning. It’s such an amazing trip - you will have a great time!

@@paradisefallsfamily I’m going to get watching and planning. Do you have an insta account for your travels? If I were to DM to ask a question would that be ok?

@@beckiwhite9392 absolutely! Our Instagram is the same handle (paradisefallsfamily) and I will always respond to DMs so any questions then just send me a message!

@@paradisefallsfamily fab thank you so much I’ll look you guys up and start following. Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you - if you watch the vlog though we have all of our tips for how to make your most out of a trip there and cover all the activities it offers!

@@paradisefallsfamily Thank you for the heads up! I'll definitely check out your vlog for those tips on maximizing the experience of the trip. Sounds like you've got a comprehensive guide to all the activities the destination has to offer. Btw,, Do you happen to have social media where you share more about your experiences or insights? I'd love to follow along and learn more!

@@Digital-fahim we also share lots on our Instagram account - paradisefallsfamily - so hope to see you over there too!

@@paradisefallsfamily yeah,, find you

I believe the Mardi Gras is open on an evening.

@@paradisefallsfamily Thank you

I think as long as you know what you’re doing and time it right then it should work fine!

@@paradisefallsfamily I enter the virtual queue, and it worked!

@@TVTIME-be8ze great - so pleased you managed to get on!

@@paradisefallsfamily I’m literally in the line right now!

@@TVTIME-be8ze so jealous - enjoy!!

Thanks so much for the hotel recommendation. Sounds like you had a great trip ❤️

@@paradisefallsfamily We live in Kent, in a small village just 20minutes from the Chunnel ... so Amsterdam and Europe is an easy visit. The trams are excellent for getting around and Amsterdam is great off season without hordes of tourists or drunk English football fans.

@@mdshovel so close to the tunnel - it must be great being able to explore Europe so easily!

Have an amazing trip!

We didn’t use it but I believe it is free!

We used Uber quite a bit, it was really easy. We used a mix of Uber and local taxis (whatever was most convenient).

Thank you so much, what a beautiful place to live!! We absolutely loved the Big Island - we can’t wait to get back ❤️

We think it definitely is! We talk a bit more about it on our New York vlog but it’s $200 to add it on and you get a free weekend night at an Intercontinental. We used this for our NYC stay and more than made the money back on that stay alone. All of the other perks too mean if you use the Intercontinental chain more than once a year really it is definitely good value (in our opinion!)

Such a fantastic day!

This is always a concern for us too! We make sure we keep our passports on us at all times and quite often carry around electronics in our backpacks too. We keep as much in the boot as covered as possible so using suitcases just to fit in the boot would be a really good idea. I hope you have an amazing trip!

It was about 10 mins outside of Yosemite. I’ve just googled to work it out and it is in a place called Oakhurst, California. Yosemite is such an amazing place, I hope you all love it!

The water was just so gorgeous!

Amazing! I hope you love it onboard. We met some fantastic crew members and they really made a positive difference to our trip!

Ah it’s such a shame you didn’t enjoy it. We always knew it would just be a floating hotel for us so we were not really interested in other entertainment so it’s good to have another view where priorities are different.

Duh 😂its not a cruise its a floating hotel.

Didn't they have like a late night dj and dancing somewhere like on other ships?

@@Alexacapetownwe didn’t use it but I believe there was a nightclub in the Mardi Gras lounge later at night.

@@paradisefallsfamily thank you for your response and all the information you provided, appreciate you 😊

Thank you so much for watching your comment! We absolutely loved the Hawaiian Islands and will be back as soon as we can ❤️❤️

The water was absolutely gorgeous! We loved it too ❤️

Thanks so much! Exactly what we’re aiming for - hoping they help people when planning what to do!

Thank you so much for watching - it’s such a gorgeous place! We would love to visit Peru one day too!

We had read all of the bad reviews and were concerned too. Hopefully this vlog puts your mind at rest a little bit. We didn’t spend a lot of time on the ship and knew going into it that it would be a good way for us to travel around the islands without the hassle of flying and moving hotels so often. We thought it was perfect for that and would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to spend their time exploring the different islands rather than just having one (or two) bases!

Thank you for your return comments. We decided to pull back our deposit and have our TA work with different cruise lines and Itinerary for 2025 to Hawaii. Just too many BAD reviews from NCL and there ship Pride Of America with multiple sites and plenty of customer complaints most recently in January 2024 and many in 2023 and 2022. When you are spending thousands to visit the Hawaiian Islands we have a expectation. I know not everything is perfect but my wife and I just didn't feel comfortable going with NCL and there ship Pride of America. I will say before calling my TA I thought I would contact NCL customer service and to my surprise no pushback from them asking me in depth questions of why we canceled our 11 day cruise tour in there Deluxe Owner's Suite. I nicely told her that why we made the decision we did and that she should pass the information up to NCL executives to look into why so many people are complaining that makes there brand look bad. I have taken two cruises in the past with NCL in 1993 and 2017 one was great and the other good so I don't despise the brand as I think it's more isolated. Thank you again for sharing your experience and we are glad your experience was a good one. Cheers!

@@bobcarr5497 I hope you have a wonderful trip to Hawaii, however you end up doing it!

Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a brilliant trip ❤️

❤️❤️

I’m so pleased you found it useful! This was in early January

Aww thank you for sharing!

I’m English but from the north east so I have what’s called a Geordie accent (could sound similar to Scottish!) I hadn’t realised where the flag was registered would make a big difference. It was a full ship and there were times we couldn’t find a seat at a bar but other than that it didn’t seem too crowded! We’ve never done P&O but have family who sailed on the Iona last year and loved it!

Thank you so much, I’m so pleased it was useful! Have the best time at Aulani, it’s such an amazing resort!

Thank you so much, I’m so pleased you found it useful! I’m from England, but the north east. I have what people call a Geordie accent and lots of people do think I’m Irish when we go to the USA!

What an amazing place to live! Yes I think you would definitely enjoy cruising around the islands on this ship ❤️

You’re very welcome! You will have an amazing time - enjoy!!

How was it ????

I’ve just checked my photos for the times. We got there at around 2pm and boarded at 2.30pm. I can’t remember the earliest we could board though sorry, I just remember we were not in any particular rush so definitely could have gone earlier!

And have a wonderful time on your trip!

12.30-1pm is the earliest time - but you have pick that time when you check in online a couple of weeks before sailing
