Thank you so much, Dustin! I have a video production company with my wife, this channel is my creative outlet. I really love The Ataris and I got the hoodie last April at The House of Blues in Anaheim. They played the whole So Long, Astoria album - it was such a great show! I went with my friends Mike & Amber who surprised us on this cruise and Amber bought me that hoodie. 🤘
@@HDjeff that's awesome! I figured you were in the industry with those chops. Nice to see someone not only have fun on a cruise, but tell the story in a more dynamic way than the standard TH-cam travel blogger. Keep at it and you will be cruising full time
Only found your channel today. (Curiosity peaked by at $199 cruise. Didn’t know they existed!) You are excellent at taking an audience with you and reviewing cruises. “I made the red carpet!” Made me laugh. So did There’s a Fungi Amongi. I will be honest. Up till now, I have been familiar with crimes on cruise ships and never was interested. But these videos make cruises actually look fun. Best wishes to you and your loved ones.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words! 🙏 That’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to the red carpet. 🤣 We are fairly new to cruising but well traveled and we’ve been surprised by how much we loved it. The cheapest MSC cruises are in the $330 range last I checked, but you still have to pay taxes/port fees/gratuities which could be close to $200. A different experience than Virgin in many ways but I still had a great time!
New here and subscribed. Great video and loved your funny corny jokes. I also liked that you still had a overall good attitude, figured it out with your clothing situation although you did not have your luggage and had a great time❤
Thank you so much! You’ll be much happier when you can make the best of a bad situation, and having our friends surprise us in Barcelona definitely brightened my day. I was lucky that I could afford to go shopping for some new clothes, and eventually I got reimbursed from the airline and luckily got the bag back a few days later. I’ll have to find some more bad jokes for the next one. 😂 We are back on Virgin again soon!
Haven’t even finished the video and this review is great! I’m staying in this exact suite in January but on the Scarlett lady out of Miami. This is my first cruise too so im excited 😂
It was just under $2k and we bid just over, probably around $150 more but that probably wasn’t necessary. They’ve had higher capacity lately because of the delayed fourth ship so it may be tougher to get an upgrade over the next year.
Thank you so much, my thoughts exactly! We are actually booked on the inaugural Icon of the Seas sailing next summer, so long as our busy summer schedule doesn’t mess up those plans.
Thank you! I got it from UNIQLO in Barcelona, I finally got reimbursed for $200 in clothes six months later. 😆 Here is the link to the shirt: www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E457864-000/00?colorDisplayCode=69&sizeDisplayCode=006
I have a question for you. In this video, I noticed you took your mom who stayed in a regular room. How is she able to access Richard's rooftop with you? My cousin is coming along on our cruise and we have a suite. I also also noticed how she got on the cruise with you as a VIP. Did you just call beforehand? That would be so awesome if she was able to have the same access. By the way, loved your video, and we are about to embark on our second ever virgin cruise, for three full weeks
Our rockstar agent gave her a card for access with us, and we asked and they let her check in with us too. We were traveling with other friends and they did not get access, just her mom. I’m jealous you’re going for three weeks, we just did five days on Scarlet Lady last week and it wasn’t nearly enough!
In ancient Greek theatre, all of the female roles were performed by men. So really it's an element of theatric performance that's been around for thousands of years.
@HDjeff I guess not. I've seen RuPaul and others... Just not a fan. Let's look at it in basic terms and strip it down to the roots. If some big ol' guy is funny or entertaining dressed up like a woman, why wouldn't that same guy be funny or entertaining dressed up as a man?
Great videos, editing, dialogue, and fun loving people. I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m binge watching now.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Found your videos through suggestions. Came to comment about the ataris sweatshirt, but had to comment about your incredible editing skills.

Your videos are inspiring and bring me new goals to achieve! I wish you well traveler!
Thank you so much, happy travels! ✌️
Awesome!!! Love your videos, Jeff. You an Amanda are true rock stars.
Thanks so much Karen, we had a lot of fun!

Great video! we are sailing the Valiant Lady in October and we can't wait!!
Thank you, you’re going to love it! We are actually on Valiant Lady again right now, another video coming soon! 😂
Haven’t even finished the video and this review is great! I’m staying in this exact suite in January but on the Scarlett lady out of Miami. This is my first cruise too so im excited 😂
Thank you so much! We did the Scarlet lady out of Miami for our first cruise as well, you’re going to really love it!!
You are so lucky to have this as your 1st cruise. It’s the top of the line…take no others
Great review
Thank you! 🙏
You should buy a model for every ship you’re on.
I now have one for each ship so far!
Nice video!
Thank you!!
What was the minimum bid for your brilliant suite then? Did you bid over their minimum?
It was just under $2k and we bid just over, probably around $150 more but that probably wasn’t necessary. They’ve had higher capacity lately because of the delayed fourth ship so it may be tougher to get an upgrade over the next year.
Love the review! You should Try an oasis class royal Caribbean ship or the Odyssey of the seas on royal Caribbean
Thank you so much, my thoughts exactly! We are actually booked on the inaugural Icon of the Seas sailing next summer, so long as our busy summer schedule doesn’t mess up those plans.
Looks like fun
We had a great time, three times already! 😂
Valiant lady in February for me! Going carry on only because I am afraid of my luggage getting lost.
Good plan, I’m jealous - I hope you have a wonderful time! 🛳️
Great review so far! But I have to stop and ask since your luggage was lost - where'd you get the super-cool Basquiat t-shirt?
Thank you! I got it from UNIQLO in Barcelona, I finally got reimbursed for $200 in clothes six months later. 😆 Here is the link to the shirt: www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E457864-000/00?colorDisplayCode=69&sizeDisplayCode=006
Thanks for the link Jeff, you really ARE a Rockstar! ...And you got reimbursed, woohoo!
Can I ask how much the octopus tattoo cost. Trying to gauge the cost for our cruise on Scarlet lady next April
$450 I believe and I think the minimum tattoo price was $250, he did an awesome job!

Amanda’s loo review. 😅👍🏻
Yes she was hilarious 😂 I should have her do them all from now on!
Yes! I will expect Loo Reviews from now on!
You got a subscriber from this!
I really appreciate it, thank you so much! 😊
How much time do you typically get in the cities you visit?
Typically they leave between 5-7pm but sometimes they do overnights in places like Ibiza.
@@HDjeff awesome, thanks!
Just in case next time when you pack put some clothes in both suit cases
Yes, great advice! I always bring the important stuff in my carryon but I’ll add a change of clothes now too.
Only will travel on VV again
I know I said I’d try something else but we are doing another with Virgin on Sunday! 😆
Do you ever get hungover ? 😂
No, not really! 😂
I could never figure out what the lure is of seeing some old, large man dressed up as a woman singing songs!
It’s a comedy performance, if you haven’t experienced it I guess you’ll never figure it out. 🤷♂️
