I Loved the paradise. Went in april.😊
Love Branson Missouri. Sight and sound theatre is amazing and the Golf Cart tour at top of the Rock.
Definitely not a fan of MSC. Once was enough for me. The ships are beautiful. The food is not the greatest, and they may have low pricing up front, however, they nickel and dime you everywhere they can. I'll pay more and get what I love.
This is a great video! I really like the tips you shared. I'm going to try them out on my next cruise. I'm especially interested in the tips about packing for a cruise. I'm going to try to pack light and efficiently, and I'm going to bring a refillable water bottle. I'm also going to try to avoid overpacking, and I'm going to make sure to pack comfortable shoes. New Sub! 👍👍
Thank you for your feedback. Here is a video I made back during the pandemic. There might be helpful information in it. Have fun! th-cam.com/video/NR5o4koryms/w-d-xo.html
Great review. We are the same. my wife and I racked up tons of points during the pandemic on Royal Caribbean when they were offering double points. No crowdsand the ship to our selves. Covid ended, and there are people everywhere. Your suggestions are spot on as to avoid the crowds, be flexible, cruising the off-season and cruise on slightly older ships. Great review I love listening to you guys keep up the great work.
Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like we are kindred hearts. Are you in Florida?
Great I’m going on the Seascape
Have fun! We love the Seascape. It's different from the main lines but we love it.
Best burgers I've had
I really enjoyed your video. I loved the attention to detail and I even appreciated the stats provided at the very beginning. What a beautiful ship!! I am ready to see the MSC Meraviglia in person. Thanks for sharing!! 😎
We’ve had my time dining and have asked for the same wait staff. All we had to do was show up at a set time & go to our table.
You have weigh how many of the toys you'd actually use on newest ship like CON of the Sea's compared to Brilliance. Then too there's economics New Years cruise in a suite on Brilliance $4,000.00 New Years on the CON(of seas) in an aft balcony $27.000.00 . Thanks for the tour.
Well made video. Thanks!
Excellent
awesome video!! Thanks
Thx for this..Will be on her Aug 2024..can't wait to be on a smaller ship...
Great video thank you!! I really enjoyed coco cay!
First ship we ever went on was the Brilliance sister ship Radiance. We thought it was beautiful. Still do. Many cruises later we recently went on the Brilliance. Little tired but they are still great ships with a great old world charm that is somewhat lacking on the newer bigger ships. Love the use of timberwork and a club like atmosphere. Having said all that the newer ships do have a bit more space, amenities, options, food choices and a decent size shopping area so there's benefits both ways.
Thank you! Ill be on the Magic in June.
Awesome videos, looking forward to our first MSC cruise
I would like to have seen how obstructed their cabin was!
Carnival's theater shows have gone downhill over the last few years. They're basically just a few singers and dancers performing in front of a video scree.
I really appreciate your review and thank you for that, however how can you complain about the pizza being the same day in and day out? Pizza is pizza it does not change from day to day and the only difference this New Yorker finds is the quality. Are you even qualified to judge New York or Italian pizza which are made similarly Please acknowledge your foreign tastes from now forward. I takes one to know one and you are clearly not even close to the qualifications a decent pizza pie. Stick to what you can comment on unequivocally.
Going on the magic in August. I can’t wait. This will be my first ever cruise.
Did you enjoy it? I go on the Magic in a couple days!!
Nice video we are going on that ship in March 2024. Of all the videos ive watched i wish i could see rooms on the 5th level to see what they look like
They did have free soft serve ice cream at the buffet. Maybe they just added it. It is outside next to the hamburger/pizza line. It was good!
We sailed on her in 2022 and will be again in 2024. This is the largest class we will sail with Carnival, we typically sail on the Conquest class because we feel that class is more open than the Vista class and up. When we cruise we want to feel that we are at sea and not the feeling of being in a hotel like the Vista and above class of ships are.
We were on the MSC Divina this past April and was awesome bad experience ( food and service) 😝
So what’s a good first time Cruise out of New York or Bayonne to try. Ship name. Thanks.
Loved the sister ship Radiance. I booked Brillance for next November and am contemplating room 7608. Did you experience a lot of noise from the Centrum?
Very helpful! Also just FYI, you're mispronouncing the name of the ship
Loved the video and no nonsense information.
Went on msc Seaview very nice ship.if you go on a trip and it goes wrong you will not get your money back .€160 out of pocket.
FOOD IS BAD AND THE DANCE CLUB IS GHETTO AND ENTERTAINING. LOL! CHOOSE WISELY. BELIEVE ME ALL RACE WERE IN THE CLUB ENJOYING THAT GHETTO.
Great video ! Very informative
I was unaware that the Seashore had pickleball. MSC does not publish that they do. When did this start and is it indoor or outdoor?
Our favorite ship!
Love the video! We get on this ship next October!
In the Solarium- does the pool have entry steps to walk down or do you have to climb ladders? Thanks
Was hibachi restaurant included in cruise?
I wonder if all the interior cabins are that size on Magic. That looked like a decent size room. We just got off Liberty and I’ve been on Triumph and Victory back in 2001 and 2002. I just love interior cabins. Liberty was a smaller size
Admiralty - Antonin Dvorak ... ?!
Sydney Canada 🇨🇦
I love the BIG ships. My favorite word on Symphony was 'WOW'. Smallest Royal Caribbean ship I have been on was Explorer of the Seas. I am about to leave on a Honolulu to Sydney on Ovation of the seas (been on that one five times now and getting bored with it). Doing a five night on Brilliance from Sydney to Hobart (Tasmania) in March 2024 and I am very apprehensive about the size of the ship and lack of a Royal Promenade. I'll let you know how that goes.....
How was explorer of the Seas compared to Ovation? I sailed previously with explorer and loved the inside promenade. Does it seem that much smaller than Ovation? I am booked to cruise on Brilliance, but had a choice between Brilliance and Ovation, but unfortunately the itinerary was changed for my cruise and now wish I booked Ovation instead.
Explorer was okay (preferred the slightly bigger Freedom of the Seas). Ovation is a nice ship - I am very familiar with it and going on a 10 night New Zealand next month after spotting that cruise just before Christmas. Lots to do on Ovation, but I still think she lacks the focal point of a real Royal Promenade. On Ovation, it's called the Esplanade, but it twists and turns and sort of breaks up the space. Most people congregate near Cafe Promenade, which tends to leave the rest of the Esplanade a bit empty. There are even shops at some parts of the Esplanade, that never seem to have folk in them. The Quantum class seems to be the only new ships that don't have a proper promenade and i think that is a shame. Going on Icon in October and I see it's Royal Promenade has a large window on the Promenade, which should be interesting.
The bathroom is a good size. Large shower and glass door is nice. The closest look huge.
Hello I heard about the pros an cons of these guys. I’m actually goin on that ship I. November. So thank u.
fits my budget!
I have watched a bunch of your videos and they are great! I love the ship stats at the beginning! Will you be doing other cruise lines like NCL?
Great video
we are booked for dec 2024 out of baltimore MD
