I try to sleep in! But alas, someone likes to wake at the crack of dawn.

Great question. We do all our gambling in Vegas (family lives there), so we have never tried. That being said, I did talk with another cruiser and she said they can be used with the slots. I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a firm answer.

sorry about that. We bought new microphones and thought they were set up correctly. Our other live videos didn’t have that issue.

it is very easy to get a Lyft or Uber from the airport to Galveston and from Galveston back to the airport.

@ thank you, that’s good to know. I was told it might be best to walk a few blocks away from the terminal because some of the ride-share drivers avoid the terminal drive during disembarkation times.

To be fair, on this cruise, we hired an Uber to take us to the airport. The driver arrived at the port, but we couldn't find each other. It took about 20 minutes to connect, mainly because we left right in the middle of debarkation, and there were people everywhere. Normally, we disembark first thing in the morning, so we've never experienced this issue before.

@@3rdOrbitTravelers so we will probably do both, leave as soon as we are allowed and walk a few blocks away from the terminal. Great content by the way, keep it up.

@@mehrdadmahmoudi3681 Thank You!

Thank you for watching and I’m glad it was helpful.

That is great to hear. The unlimited dining package is the way to go if you are big fans of specialty dining.

We use FinalCut for the editor and a MacBook Pro for the computer. We really like FinalCut because it is a one-time fee to buy it, and there are tons of plugins that you can get from other companies that let us get the look we want. I hope that helps.

I can't wait either!!!! 2 more months.

Glad it helped!

August.

It was very pricey but we did it just because we didn't know if we would ever get a chance to do it again. I just asked our two friends who went on the cruise with us if they regretted not going on the excursion with us and they said yes. They stayed on the ship and said they could see the glacier but not very well, especially without binoculars. Getting up close to the glacier was breathtaking.

@ thanks very much for your quick reply. I am still undecided bcoz I’ll be doing the kenai fjord cruise in Seward where they will take us close to 2 glaciers. However they are small compared to Hubbard. Btw Now the price for Hubbard glacier boat excursion is more than 500 usd which is crazy.

That price is crazy. Isn't there a Black Friday discount? I've been going through my upcoming cruises and buying as many on-sale excursions as possible.

@ no unfortunately there is no Black Friday sale on Hubbard glacier excursion.

Yes. I typically get a couple of appetizers when I go and when I went with a couple of friends we ordered extra main courses. They definitely don't tell you its all you can eat but I've never had an issue.

@ Thank you!

Great piece of trivia! Thank you for your comment. Who knows, maybe I'll get sponsored at some point since I talk about Finger Lakes wine so much. :-)

I agree, it's a great song. Thank you for watching again!

Here is a list of the beverages that are included: water, tea (hot and cold), coffee (not fancy coffee like lattes, etc.), juices for breakfast. Sometimes they have ice water with fruit in it but that isn't always the case. Oh and hot chocolate. Soda is not included but the soda package is really cheap. Hope that helps.

Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

That is correct.

There isn't a “menu” but they can do vegetarian.

@3rdOrbitTravelers Right now, I have an offer for $16.99 per person reservation, but if there isn't a good selection of vegetarian options, then it might not be worth it for me. Sad, because I was looking forward to the fresh guacamole.

@ I guess it all depends. If you are a vegan then you are probably correct - nothing to eat. However, if you are a Lacto-ovo vegetarian, I think you will be fine. Also, you should have no problem making a reservation once you are on the ship, that way you can go there on day 1 and ask them what they can make for you.

Awesome! Thank you! Also, I do post a “creator’s cut” of all the parts of a cruise put together in one long video. I add extra footage (most of the time) and polish it up some. I put these videos in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLGdHP0yyduEQlwvdidVu42zBE8GdHUTyN.html&si=WnCtiZox8udLV_Nx Alaska is amazing! Let us know what you think after your cruise.

Also, we are going on a transpacific cruise out of Sydney in 26! I'm guessing that's close to your part of the world, based on your channel name. :-)

About 1 hour. However, I eat fast and left as soon as I was done. I could easily see someone taking longer than I did.

@@3rdOrbitTravelers Awesome, thank you! :-)

You're welcome. Let us know what you think of it.

Have a great cruise and thank you for watching.

Thank you! Glad it was helpful. If any questions pop up, feel free to ask. Have a great cruise.

How exciting! Must have been a very difficult but exciting job!

@@3rdOrbitTravelers It was. Great officers and crew. Embarkation days were VERY long. ! I could do it 20 years ago . Im too OLD to work that hard now. It would kill me. - LOL

You are correct. I’m not sure why I said that. You can’t use your Crown & Anchor drink vouchers but you can use your drink package. Thank you for pointing this out.

I went on Quantum of the Seas in May this year (2024), and we had the drink package. It was no extra charge for the bionic bar, this ship shouldn’t be any different so I’m not sure where he got that information

@@alyssamartin3748 You are correct. You can't use drink vouchers at the Bionic bar. If I said you can't use your drink package, I misspoke, and thank you for pointing it out.

It’s actually a song I made with the help of AI. I actually have had several questions about the music. I’m planning on adding a mailing list for our subscribers (free) that would allow me to share our music, information sheets, etc. Just watch the community tab for information. Hopefully, it should be done by the end of the month.

Thank you.

Nice catch. We both are. :-)

Thank you. Next time, say hello. 🙂

We have been very lucky. A couple of our cruises went very close to hurricanes but even though it rained nonstop, we have never been diverted.

Sorry for the delay in responding. We didn't stay in 6388; our friends did. He just called me back, and I asked him your question. He said, "No." I would believe him because he normally stays in an inside cabin, because the light coming in from the balcony keeps him awake. I hope that helps.

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

Yes they did. I didn’t mind because it was nice to have a sea day filled with things to do.

I do enjoy playmakers but why not simply have both? There are several places on the ship that I never see people in. Use one of those places. They are very creative on where they put Izumi on some ships.

Loved the price comparison for validating whether it was worth it or not.

Negatives : The other guests. 😂😂😂

I just record my voice over with my phone and then use a plugin in Finalcut to make it sound better, after with the video.

Normally the guests are great, however every once in a you are stuck in a nightmare. :-). I now go to the Taste of Royal. It’s like a mini chef’s table but you get to sit by yourself.

My husband may not have the patience but I would try it for sure.

You are welcome!!

😂😂😂 the cough after you had a sip.

The guy floating on the UFO was cool in the show. Nice clip.

The people I was sitting with thought so as well. :-)
