i took this ship last year...u had fun?
Yes! 👍🏻
How did you get from Port to Redhook? Did you pre-book transportation?
No! Right when we got off our cruise ship (there were taxi drivers waiting), we grabbed a shared taxi to Red Hook Ferry Service. The taxi driver dropped people off at Coki Beach, then us at Red Hook. Next week is our St.John video and we show the drive to Red Hook and St. John.
@@dawnsdorkydiary5655 Awesome! Thanks for the info. Heading there in December on an RC Cruise.
@@richardeason1003 Nice! Have a great vacay! You’ll love it!!
I thought the taxi driver’s voice sounded familiar
Love ❤ the video !
So glad!
Dyed a dog pink!!!. She should be....I can't say on the internet!!!
We’ve never seen that before either!!!
I have been to the 2 islands before they are really nice great video
Thank you! Yes, they are!
Looks fabulous !! Thanks for sharing !
You’re very welcome 😉
❤Carnival
I've been on Celebration and Mardi Gras extended balconies....mid, fwd and aft....all are good choices 😊 Your hubby makes the videos real....totally reminds me of mine before he decided no more on his last cruise Dec 2019
We go on the Celebration for the first time in 86 days. We are excited but a little intimidated about the ship being so large because we are afraid we will miss something. Thanks for the content. New Sub.
She is a beautiful ship! There are so many areas to enjoy a lot of peeps, or quiet spaces. The Golden Jubilee area has some quiet areas and around the Alchemy Bar. The Deli and the Pizza place are busy all the time. The Tides pool area is great as well. We also loved the Serenity Deck, so big!
This room looks pretty nice. It looks like the room could do with an update maybe but the big mirrors are really nice. The lights under the cabinets are handy. Thank You for showing us the room we have never been on a Princess Cruise xx
The sad part is that the room was just refurbished 4 years ago. The room had an exorbitant amount of mirrors. I ultimately, enjoyed the room. I’m just use to balcony rooms having a couch of some sort. I asked the room steward for an extra chair, so when we had room service, we were not eating on the bed….the bedside motion lights were useful..but that closet one was awful…
@@dawnsdorkydiary5655 Oh yeah a four year old room shouldnt look like this haha.
What a beautiful thumbnail picture ! Room looks nice! Great video ! Thanks for content!
Glad you like it!
Love the video ! Thanks for the content !
Our pleasure, Jenni!
I luv the chicken tenders with the Shaq sauce. I can't wait to eat there again. I never ate the sandwiches. The fries are great also. However, everyone tastes different. That is why I always encourage others to try things for themselves.
I thought it was good, I just wasn’t wowed! You’re definitely right though, taste is subjective! The fries were great 👍🏻
We loved 🥰 the Celebration! New sub here.
Thank you! It was a beautiful ship!
Great video! Looks gorgeous!
Looks so nice ! From your friends from Toronto ! We wanted to go not enough time 😅
Awww! We had another great time at Jost…I’m sad we didn’t see each other again:(
They had a plastic trifle bowl (skip the candlestick) I thought about using, but I'm not sure if it would be too top heavy. Did you use real or fake flowers? Also, what did you stick the flowers into?
I had a florist arrange real flowers in my finished product. She added the floral foam inside, then added the flowers!
Thanks for sharing. Love the extended balcony. We had a junior balcony on Jubilee and won’t do that one again. My husband feels the same way you do about Havana cabins. No privacy.
You’re very welcome! 😉
Loved it !
Thanks so much!!
Great video. Please put the cabin number in the title, in case someone with same cabin is looking for a video of it.
Thanks, I usually do, my mistake. I added it to my “Room Tour” only video!
Another fantastic Video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
How long does it take to drive through port? Is there a lot of traffic?
It was about a 20 minute drive. Easy breezy, lemon squeezy! Our hotel was on South Beach, Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel. Very little traffic👍🏻…
Another great video! Celebration looks huge!
It was a beast!
You make me want to go on a carnival cruise. You did such a fantastic job ❤️
Thanks so much!!!
pro tip - get a mic for yourself. hard to hear what you are saying without turning it up to 20.
Yes! Originally, I was interested in just videoing, rather than speaking. I will definitely look into it!
Another great video! Ship looks massive and very nice ! Thanks for the content !
Thank you! It was a beautiful boat, just overcrowded…
Would you stay there again??
Yes, I would! I just felt it was a party hotel. It had a lot of good qualities and a stellar locale!
Thanks for the video. I was trying to decide between this hotel and the Angler property. Both part of the IHG group and available for reward nights through igh card.
I wish I could give you info about the Angler property, but I’ve never stayed there! Looks great also!
This looks like a lovely hotel. Its so funny that your husband hid while you did the room tour. You must have been so warm in a sweatshirt and joggers. The Beach looked lovely but there was too much seaweed. I bet you had a fantastic trip xx
It was nice! Definitely, a unique hotel on South Beach! My fave was the outdoor facilities on property! My hubby doesn’t usually hide, he at least makes an appearance, lol! I was also surprised how ugly the seaweed was this trip, yuck;) Thank you!
We board again in October. I didn't know the Cucina Del Capitano was free for lunch. We will have to try it. Thanks.
Yes, it’s very good, especially when free😆
We love the Carnival Breeze. We board it again in October. New sub here!!
Thank you very much for subscribing! Lucky, I love the Breeze! My hubby and I are cruising Princess Cruise Lines in June for ten nights and then my sis & I again in Sept on the Carnival Sunrise out of Miami!
Hahaha such a fun time ! Cannot wait for Sisters Cruise Part Two !!!!!
Me either!
I was on the cruise right before this one, and it was more crowded. I should have booked this one instead. LOL!
I was just off the Celebration with my hubby and it was ridiculously packed and turned me off of Carnival, then I received a free Casino cruise, so I thought I’ll give them one more try, thank goodness I did, because it totally made up for the Celebration and redeemed my faith in Carnival! I’m sorry yours was so crowded, It really can make or break a cruise:(
@@dawnsdorkydiary5655 Thanks. My cruise wasn't too crowded. I just miss those 2021 and 2022 half-capacity cruises. LOL!
@@merytsitmaat9308 I do too!
So. Much. Fun! 🛳
Thanks for sharing. Great video. I will have an aft extended balcony room 10508 April 14th. I'm so excited for my new adventure. I always get balcony but never extended.
Thanks very much! You should be, you’ll love it! I haven’t done the Aft balcony thing yet. Let me know if you like it, I might try it! Ask for Chaise Loungers if you don’t have one…
@@dawnsdorkydiary5655 Thanks for your response. I will definitely let you know. That’s already my plan to ask for chaise loungers if I don’t have any. 😄
Can you suggest any hotel and best cruise parking in Galveston?
parking@portofgalveston.com or 409-766-6163 The CLOSEST secured garage parking to the Cruise Ships We used the parking garage close to the ship! It was well organized and I was able to park on the first floor.
As far as hotels! I used my IHG points and we stayed for free at the Holiday Inn & Suites on Seawall Blvd, next to the Spot Restaurant and close to Pleasure Pier and only a few minutes from the cruise port! ( I could see it from my hotel)
Who did you hire to taxi you to jost?
Paradise Power Boat Rentals- Franklyn and Lydia Chinnery Phone # 1 284 541 6457 or 1 284 441 2431 I literally paid $250 to privately take us from West End of Tortola to Jost- one way! I loved Franky, but it was pricey…. He would have done Roundtrip for $500, but it was cheaper for us to do the ferry:) I’m sure the price varies… also we’re on a time crunch, so it was worth it to us overall and we loved Franky… (we found him through word of mouth from the locals when we arrived)
Thank you so much for such a fabulous detailed video! Were going in aril of 2026 15 as well extended balcony. More in the center of the extention. So exciting
You’re very welcome! The room was beautiful and felt spacious! Have a great trip!
I hope we get lucky and not have a huge crowd when we sail soon.. Maybe they are all on the Jubilee
Enjoy your cruise!
Great video ! Room looks fantastic. Thanks for your thorough video of all aspects of the room and balcony ❤
Thank you very much for watching! 😉
Looks awesome, thinking to go next summer ⛱️
You'll enjoy it! Have a great vacay! Ask for the building closest to the lobby if it's important to you! They're really far apart....
Curious about your experience on the celebration. I have a cruise this fall on it and you're kinda bumming me out about it 😂😂
I’m sorry😢 ! I loved the boat and the size, but, size inevitably brings more peeps.. It just felt crowded to me. I went July 30, 23 with my hubby. (Vlog coming soon) There were significant lines for pizza and the deli, at all times of the day and Guy’s Burger Joint. Buffet was hard to find a seat. We opted in for room service more than usual, just to not have to hunt for seats. We had an obnoxious neighbor who played loud music on his balcony and yelled to other cabin mates. Out of all the cruises we’ve taken, it was just one thing after another. People sitting on the stairs and not moving. A fight in the buffet one afternoon, which rerouted us to another side of ship to eat. Positives - Beautiful ship, great staff, love the rooms and decor. It also felt spacious, clean and very deliberately detailed. Relax, I think it was just an anomaly and you’re going to have a fantastical vacay!
I just uploaded our balcony cabin room tour on the Carnival Celebration!
It was so much fun and loved that shipped seemed so empty even though it wasn’t !
It did! It was bizarre how dead it felt! The ship was our oyster 🦪
Oh the best trip ! The Breeze is a great ship and the room was perfect ! ❤
I wonder if you can help me. We're going on our first cruise in many many years. We're going on the Apex next month and have a boarding time of noon. Do you know if we can get on earlier if we just show up? Thanx!
When we arrived at appt time, it didn't seem to matter our time. They just moved us through and sat us in available seating. I would go when you're ready, with the understanding that you might have to wait! They moved us on the ship in the order we arrived, not necessarily at our scheduled time.
Heading there next month. We rented a cabana on south beach for 6 of us! Thank you for all the useful info. We were there about 4 years ago. No cabanas, just oversized umbrellas with 2 lounge chairs & a table.
You’re welcome! Have a fantastical time! Seas the day!
What a cool experience. The views were beautiful. Its so cool that they have an outside area too. xx
Thanks! Trains are so fun! What a great way to travel….
How long was the boat ride to the island? Where did you leave from? Im thinking about doing this excursion myself
@JustinMorales796 Jost is one of our fave islands! Such a special place….We went out of West End of Tortola and it was about a 35 minute boat ride to Jost! But we also had about a 20-30 min taxi ride to the West End from our Cruise Terminal!
Great vid wanted to know what’s included in club
Dedicated Club Lounge in the Hawaii Building. Beer and Wines. Breakfast, Snacks and heavy Appetizers in the evening. Desserts and Cordials …. Water, Sodas….Board games and a dedicated concierge staff. In a few different videos I show what’s available… Designated Hawaii/ Tonga buildings on property!
