Thanks, Merry Christmas
Great video with one small gripe, sorry. The music is overwhelming the commentary. Way too loud. You didn't miss a thing by not entering the Crown lounge. As a C&A member myself, I don't even attend events held in these 'members only' lounges anymore. They're usually overcrowded and pointless. It used to be better years ago when the Viking Crown Lounge was used for members only functions, but now everyone is squashed into a small area. Once inside, there are free glasses of wine or sometimes cheap champagne and soft drinks. This is usually accompanied by light snacks/finger food such as those disgusting, clap cold miniature burgers (sliders). Crown & Anchor Society, in my opinion, has gone down like the Titanic. Slowly sinking to the murky depths. Across the entire fleet of RCI ships.
Thanks for the really constructive feedback we’ll definitely take it onboard. Sad to hear the lounge isn’t what it used to be :(
Is there enough if we take children or is it mainly made up of adult only areas
Most of the ship is open to everyone. The only area restricted to adults only is The Oasis at the back of the ship. The nightclub is also restricted I think late in the evening but it’s a very family friendly ship!
@ thank you very much
Love these guys! Best cruise vloggers ever 🎉
Very kind, thank you random stranger?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful tree guys, looking forward to even more amazing videos next year 🎉
Aaaawww thanks so much. Merry Christmas.
Hi! Your editing is AMAZING!! What app do you use?
Merry Christmas Miss L. :) we use Final Cut Pro. Xx
@ Okay thanks! I hope u had an amazing Xmas! I hope to see you soon!
Thank you for all your efforts. Your videos are very well researched and crested.
Right back at you Tom. It’s been a pleasure meeting you this year.
you 2 have got charisma, thanks enjoyed that
We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Going on my first ever cruise next week aboard this ship, this has been the best review I’ve watched on here and its got me super excited now! Thanks for sharing 😊
So glad you liked it!! Have a fantastic trip!
Thank you so much for the thorough tour. You’ve whetted our excitement tenfold as we’ll be flying into Oz next month to experience Splendor, and then Holland America Westerdam. It looks like there isn’t a Blue Iguana Burrito Bar (pout).
Hope you have a fantastic trip! Only a Blue Iguana Rum Bar I’m afraid - Rum vs Burrito is a tough call!
Really informative thanks! Looking forward to seeing what else you guys have got to share 🏴
Thanks for that amazing feedback Laura. Next up is Disney Wonder. Merry Christmas.
Hi guys!!! I’m Jerusha I a client of Bec’s and she just showed me your fantastic channel!! Congratulations
Hi Jerusha, so lovely to “meet” you. Bec came home telling us all about you. We subscribed to your channel too, it’s fantastic. We’ve a lllooonnnggg way to reach your level lol. Merry Christmas x
thank you for sharing this..I'm cruising on her during the last week of January..I'm looking forward to it as the only ships that I have been on were Carnival Legend and Splendor...it'll be nice to try out a different company..there is going to be so much to see and do whilst on board..
I’m glad you found it useful. Ovation is beautiful and you’ll no doubt have an amazing cruise. We are back on her in Feb and are so looking forward to trying out Chops Grille.
It certainly is an amazing harbour. No wonder it's regarded as the best harbour in the world. Sydney also offers our visitors a wide variety of shore excursion activities. Thanks for sharing Gill.
I honestly think it’s magical. We are so so lucky to be able to cruise in and out of this amazing harbour.
Quantum class does not have the Broadway style shows- they have the odd Vegas style shows
I’ve recently learned this :( so sad.
Loved it … went yr ago windjammer washy 😂
I love their washy washy
Just returned from Caribbean cruise on Voyager used Kitchens for breakfast and late lunch , if back early to ship but used Latitude for evening meals (great food/service ) . Use to grab pre packed food from snack shack when leaving ship in morning though , the 14:00 bag storage and use of facility's till 16:00 seems the norm as we had this . There were few on ship hat had independently booked on ship (not package ) they were also allowed to use facility's till 16:00 on last day . Liked your review it pretty much summed up what's available on Voyager (should have watched before cruise ) as missed few things on ship
Thanks for your feedback. The Caribbean cruise would be fantastic on voyager.
Cruising Feb 2025 - first time with Carnival - you gave a lot of great info :)
Thanks for your lovely feedback. Have an amazing holiday and come back and tell us how it goes, we’d love to hear.
Great ship but i really would like to see an interior update & renovation. There are a lot prettier ships these days. The pink circles everywhere were hideous 😅
We would love to see her get a modern refresh too.
The two Discovery ships are so much better in our opinion, or Ambassador cruises are great British holidays as well.
We’ve heard others say the Discovery ships are great too
how much were the excursions no one ever says Rome and Pompei .??
Did they serve guinness in the amber and oak? Or anywhere on board?
Oh boy, we’re really not at all sure. So sorry.
Lovely to meet you today Mike and Jill. I’ve just watched the Ovation again only to realise I had already watched it after it first posted! On Ovation March . Brilliant video and again. Loved meeting you both! Bernie
It was awesome meeting you to Bernie, I really hope we cross paths again sometime super soon.
Awesome video! Just a heads up: Unless it’s different on Aussie homeport sailings, Fish n Ships is normally complementary except for lobster rolls and a special desert. Every time we’ve seen Fish n Ships, the fried fish, fish sandwich, chicken strips, popcorn shrimp, and chips were always complimentary. Also, there’s a venue called the Solarium Bistro that has healthy complimentary buffet options (think porridge, soups, salads, wraps, etc) for breakfast and lunch, as well as paid real fruit smoothies (included with beverage package) and a la carte specialty dining for dinner.
My family and I are going on the cruise in Jan 2025 you have made the tour of the ship so much easier to understand thanks again. So excited 😂
Glad it was helpful!it’s a stunning ship. Have an amazing holiday.
Was your cabin loud with the engine sounds ?
Absolutely not, it was a really peaceful cabin.
Hello again, just a quick question. Do the sea pass cards have a hole for the clip on the lanyard or do I need sleeve? Thanks.
Hi again, there aren’t any holes in the cards.
@ thanks again.
Nope, no holes. I didn’t even bother with a lanyard this time. I just kept it in my phone case.
Sailing on the Ovation in a week. I've bought the Key and I'm hoping you post your review before then 😅
We’ll do our best…but we reckon you’ll enjoy having the Key lol
You got my son and I at NorthStar Bar [ ~ 3.37 ], with Chhai the master bartender . . . We spent another 9 days aboard for the next cruise as well - awesome ship !
Ooohh that must have been amazing. So jealous.
I'm from the East rennell World Heritage area, solomon Islands. Want to know more information about the company.
Thanks for the offer
We have this room type booked for an upcoming cruise. What style are the other powerpoints in the room?
Hope you have a great time! Our room had an Aussie socket and a I’m pretty sure there was US one too. P&O website says all rooms have at least one Aussie socket
The proper broadway shows are never on this class. Its oasis or bigger.
Great informative video. The music is unbearable though! You're interesting enough not to need it, but if you insist I'd recommend putting the voume of that til about 20-30% of what it currently is. No offence intended.
None taken! It’s a balancing act for sure. If I can ask, did you find it too loud throughout? We try to keep it low enough to not get in the way.
Thanks for the excellent video. We are cruising for the first time on December 8th to the South Pacific. Where did you cruise to?
Thanks for such a lovely comment. Ours was just a short trip out to sea with no stops. We have cruises to the South Pacific before and it’s just the most amazing place to cruise to. We hope you have an amazing holiday.
Great review, loved watching it, thanks
Thanks so much for taking the time to give that feedback, it makes all the work worthwhile to know the videos are helping people.
Ovation does also have a show called ‘The beautiful dream’ it’s an original production but it’s more of a story than Live Love Legs Anthem of the Seas has a 2 hour We Will Rock You show coming next year to Aus
Thanks so much for that really useful information.
Very informative, thank you. My family are taking our first cruise, on ovation, did Christmas. Your video just makes us all more excited.
So glad to hear it. She’s an amazing ship :). Hope you have a great trip !!
Great video, very comprehensive!!
Thank you. We’re Glad you enjoyed it!
Love ovation, my most favourite ship. Back on her in march
Great video! Thanks so much. ☺️ Boarding this Thursday and heading to New Zealand. Can’t wait. 😎
I am so jealous. Have the most amazing cruise.
@ thank you! ☺️
So are we! I was wondering, has your app started showing anything for the cruise yet? Mine still says 'we are working on the fun'
You need to slow your speech a little bit please
Thanks for the feedback. Apologies, I was a little excited by this one.
I found the pace perfectly fine!
Thank you
Very informative! My husband, myself and our three year old will be going on the ship very soon, we have booked in for the Fahrenheit 555° restaurant as a family for one of the nights as we have on board credit to use. The kids club for her age looks amazing too!
Have a fantastic trip!
Hey guys what an awesome video. My wife and I have cruised on the spirit seems there is a lot similar but your video has sealed the deal for our trip next year Dec 2025. Thanks so much…not sure about an internal but.. thanks again
Thanks for the kind comment! Hope you have a great trip!
I cruise Jan 2025 and my daughter (11 years) and I can't wait!! 🥳 This video was heaps helpful. Thank you 😃
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and it’s helped you plan and look forward to your cruise. You’ll have an amazing time.
ALSO - wrong side of 50?!?? I would have been up there dancing with you!!!!
Absolutely!!!
I came here from your comment on my post on Facebook about you know what” 👀💌 BUT I love your review videos! They are the best I’ve found!
Awww Natalie, that’s just made my day. We love cruising and we love making these videos. They keep us out of trouble lol
Can’t wait for the full video!
Thanks so much, we’re working on it x
Such a fun few days. Can’t wait for my Feb cruise.
Can we eat at multiple restaurants for the same meal or do we need choose one only?
You can only eat once in the main dining room I think, but you can book any of the additional restaurants and you can use the buffet anytime it’s open!
