Cruise Ship Tap Water is Safe to Drink?
In this video I talk about my experience distilling tap water while I was in the Navy and why I believe the tap water on cruise ships is fine to drink.

Norwegian Getaway Cabin 14619 (Family Inside) and why I should have booked the cabin next door.
มุมมอง 9715 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hello Cruisers! This is a review of Cabin 14619 on the Norwegian Getaway which is a family inside cabin and why I disliked it. I will also discuss how other inside cabins would have been better. Worth noting is that this cabin would probably be identical on the Norwegian Breakaway as the two ships are identical. Also, the type of cabin is probably the same on the Breakaway-Pluss class ships whi...

Should You Let the Cruise Line Book Your Air? My opinion is it's usually a bad idea, with a couple specific exceptions. #cruise #cruising #cruisetips #cruisetipsandtricks #cruisetravel #cruisehacks #cruiser

Hi, My wife and I are doing side-to-side cruises to Alaska out of Vancouver in June-July 2025. First ship is Celebrity Solstice, then on Royal Serenade OTS. When and how do we let Celebrity know we want to do the "Express Walk Off" ? We would like to get off the ship as early as possible and back into the boarding lines for the Royal ship, we plan to try to get earliest boarding time. Do you know if it would be helpful to get The Key with Royal Caribbean on the Serenade ? Just trying to pre-plan and think of anything to avoid standing in long lines more than we have to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Not specifically sure of Celebrity's procedure, but talking to guest services as soon as you get on board is a safe bet. If you're just going from one ship to the other at the same port, you should have plenty of time.
Thanks! Just made my day
You're welcome!
Thanks for the education. Your video is the only one that explained it so I understood it all - I've seen a lot of YT videos on this subject and was perplexed. Now I know what to expect. Thank you.
you're welcome! I appreciate the comment.

How about the jillionaires paying their employees what they are worth and not have them relying on the kindness of strangers. Do these daily grats appear on the ship's P&l ? Are they reported as part of the ship's payroll ? This may be more of a benefit to the line than to the workers. I can't imagine the millions of $ collected and 100% going to crew without some 'administrative fees' being removed...only in the Americas 😊
One other method of communicating with others in your party is by using Whatsapp. Not sure if it only needs the INTRANET or requires internet. Adding the Perk of that onboard app comms to either Gold or Platinum and above latitudes members would encourage loyalty, but that won't happen while Harry Sumners is mostly a shareholder friendly person and not concerned about anything that don't make shareholders bucks!
I still need to know if the ban of Walkie Talkies is for a specific band or all. Because there are commercial Walkie Talkies and there are Family band Walkie Talkies. I sent an email to my PCC to see if it is ALL Walkie Talkies or just the commercial band which might interfere with onboard staff comms. If NCL does not know there are 2 bands and one would not interfere with their staff comms they might need to learn and think about allowing ones that won't cause them problems. Talking about those terminal people not knowing how to know one band Walkie Talkie from another. I expect them to be lazy and go with banning all.
I believe it is ALL walkie-talkies because it might not always be easy to tell the difference, especially to the untrained eyes of port security, between a "family band', "Citizen's band", "HAM", "Aviation", "Maritime" etc. Thanks for watching!
@cruisingwitheric I asked my PCC and you are correct. So I asked them to see if they could either put a little research into why they are banned and see if those FRS walkie talkies could be okayed or if it is greed and profit for shareholders then maybe put it as a benefit for the Platinum and above latitudes members.
@@rgruenhaus I think the bottom line is at some cruise terminals the security people are part-time college students who can't be trusted to know the difference. This past December I had to argue with a security guy at the Virgin terminal in Miami because the thought the power supply for my laptop was a surge protector.... because he was an idiot. I can't help but wonder if these people work security at cruise terminals because they cant' get a job with the TSA... and we know what geniuses those folks are.
Are you triple paying if you pay a general $20 a day service charge, buy the drink package which includes the gratuity and then tip the bartender as ship guests tell me that they do???
I usually don't tip bartenders. The $20 per day is for the people who work in the main dining rooms, etc.

verry helpful. my wife and i are cursing ncl sky Baltimore to Quebec early sept. and weren't sure about the water for our c-paps thanks for the info
Keep in mind the water being in tanks, going through pipes, etc might introduce impurities that while fine for drinking, might make your CPAP unhappy. You can ask for distilled water for CPAP to be brought to your room. Call NCL now and get it added to your reservation. Thanks for watching.
Water water water! Do you know if cruise ships generally add minerals back in after the RO process? Not all RO systems do so just want to make sure I don’t need to bring electrolytes to add!

If you do forget to logout and all your minutes disappear, you can go to the Internet Cafe, wait in the line, and the tech person can restore your minutes. Basically, they verify that you weren't actively using the internet and then they restore the minutes.

Happy Birthday! How many Cruise Next certificates can I use when booking a balcony???
OK I'm sailing in December and want to buy Cruise Next credits to book a cruise through Europe in May, 2025. How many CruiseNext Credits will they let me purchase. And, I can't reasonably spend that many onboard credits during my December trip. I wonder if the credits would help me that much. Or if I'm just spinning my wheels, so to speak.
The bottom line is if so buy, for example, four cruise next certificates valued at $250 each, they will charge $500 to your credit card. You don't have to spend it as OBC. Be careful about buying Cruise Next in December for a cruise in May as there are often restrictions like "the crise has to be six months away" etc. ALSO: you can't apply a cruise next certificate to a n existing reservation.
@@cruisingwitheric thank you!!
money money money Thanks
Hi, thank you for the video. I was recently on NCL and bought 8 CruiseNext certificates. I was told they were for OBC. So, when I book another cruise with NCL, either with them directly or with a 3rd party agent, do I need to advise regarding the certificates or they will be added automatically in my account? tnx
When you book with them directly on NCL dot com and it's time to make a deposit, it should show your cruise next certificates at that time. thanks for watching
Good to know
thanks for watching
I’m never going to see these people again not tipping extra
I’m going to pay the “resort “ fee for myself not my 10 year old son. So 140.00 is all they are getting in cash.
Banana😂
thanks for watching
Looters .. just cash grab .. why don’t pay their employees .. or else advertise price with those charges added .. just making fool of customers
money money money...i don't drink alcohol, I wonder how they will bill me.
helpful.
Is this true for two people or do both have to do it separately?
my NCL has this "2 x FREE PREPAID SERVICE CHARGES" what is this?
Sounds like your daily service charges have been pre-paid... probably a deal your travel agent got for you. Thanks for watching!
video great.
