    This is such a nice river boat ride to see the best of Fort Lauderdale from the water. The captain/narrator is very entertaining and informative. So many huge yachts and super tall condominiums on the Fort Lauderdale New River. Many of us here at River Reach condo, sit by the west pool just to see the riverboat Jungle Queens cruise by. Extremely entertaining! The folks on the boat are so lively and often wave with enthusiasm. Cool boat life here in Fort Lauderdale. My kids says this tour is fun! Thanks again!

I have analyzed and realized that your TH-cam channel is not progressing and improving. It is responsible for: 1. Channel videos are not properly SEO 2. Videos are not reaching the people 2. There is no rank tag in the Video 3. Video SEO score is 16.7 out of 100 but SEO score should be 90+ to rank video 5. Channels tags are not good quality and other technical problems Do you want all the problems solved? I can help you.

    Hi, I am about to purchase the deluxe drink package for a December sailing. The fine print of the deluxe package says "package includes single beverages with a value up to 13$", the fineprint is dated 2022. However currently all the cocktails and mixed drinks on this sailing are 14$. Will that mean almost no drinks will be covered? or do you think the fineprint has not been updated.

    Why do Americans particularly ignore the detrimental health effects of an all you can drink drink package? So you're on vacation and you want to treat yourself. Of course! But do you want to kill yourself. Because 75% of Americans are already overweight and bearing down on type 2 diabetes for sure. Why do you want to even consider doing such damage to your body. For me I have no idea at 70 years of age and over 20 cruises even in my younger years I would never have done that to my body. Now occasionally I did over indulge but it might be once in a blue moon not seven nights in a row 😞 that's not a vacation

    Your vacation starts at the pier. For God's sake get a passport and get your children passports. Yes, you can sail with other documents, but it slows you and everyone behind you down. Fully complete your online check in. Upload pictures and required documents. Print every document you can, do not rely on your phone. Put your vaccination card in your passport and have your test results in hand. We want to get you from car to bar n 10 minutes, but it's up to you.

RC had a promotion and I was able to get the deluxe package for $53 per person so my wife and I decided to go for it since we will consume plenty of coffee, water, wine and beer to justify it at that price...

    Tell Royal Caribbean you are diabetic or your religion does not allow alcoholic beverages and they will more or less be forced to waive the everyone in the room requirement for the drink package My wife drinks and I'm ready and willing to pay the fee for the drink package but does that mean they have to ram it down my throat also a person who has maybe one or two beers per day because I am diabetic they can't force you to prove your medical condition or your religious affiliation so just say your religion does not allow alcohol but your wife is a different religion and she would like alcohol etc
