Izumi on other RCCL ships is usually very dark and I feel like it’s in a dungeon. I liked being out in the light on Odyssey. I love my Diamond status. I don’t drink much alcohol, but the four drinks a day is perfect for me and I’m able to share them with a friend if I choose unlike the unlimited drink package where sharing is not permitted. I enjoy the Diamond/Crown Lounge if I need to do a little work. The hors d’oeuvres are nice, sometimes different than you can find elsewhere. The concierge in the Diamond Lounge is always so friendly and helpful. I love your banter😆, makes me smile.
Anthem of the seas which is quantum "lass and like odessey only a few years older splits their dinning rooms into 4. Silk, chic, and the ither two i forget. I was on anthem last year and assigned to chic. I loved the breaking up into 4 dinning rooms. Its made it feel less rushed and more intimate and you really got to know the wait staff. I have food allergies so tend to eat in the main dinning room. I agree that while the large dinning rooms are amazing to see its not the most enjoyable eating experience.
We think you said that Glen is Diamond Plus and Ant is Diamond. It's our belief that married couples can claim the higher status of one for the other. Write to Crown and Anchor and ask. It's that way on Celebrity. Worth a shot?
Never seen you guys before. I've watched two of your videos and really enjoyed the banter between the two of you. I wish you would get more bitchy with each other! LOL. You have a new subscriber, so let's see how it goes. 😄
We try to make it a point to buy one piece of jewelry on each cruise as a memento and yes we always barter and have never been disappointed.. ALWAYS barter. With the WiFi available to you, you can look for the piece online which will give you some negotiation space.. it’s exactly what we did at Effy.. here they are online for much less.. match that and give me 10% less.. ;-)
@@AntandGlen we are cheap so it's always something small almost always under 500.00.. but in gold ;-) A couple of the pieces from our cruises are in a picture frame with a picture from that cruise. A tiny emerald from Columbia for example is literally in the frame with a picture from Columbia.. that type of thing.
You’re absolutely right about being Diamond level not really meaning anything now that there are so many people at that level. Unless you only drink beer or wine, the free drinks aren’t worth much. The Crown Lounge is sort of a waste of space. Nothing special going on there.
Loved the new format guys 😀 We agree with you both. We've eaten at lots of speciality dining venues where you are on the corridor, MSC Sushi, Princess Sushi, Royal Caribbean Sushi (there's a pattern here), and to be honest, it hasn't really bothered us, as that Sushi experience was great, and we've had similar experiences on land too. However ones like Bistro Sur Le Mer (Now Catch by Rudi's) on Enchanted had a path way running down the middle of it for anyone to walk through and that really annoyed us. So guess it is down to the type of experience we want/expect as to whether the corridors are a problem or not. On Sun Princess, just ask for a table away from the edge and it's no issue at all. We loved Kai Sushi. Linzi & Mark
I agree with Glen that I really don't like people walking by and staring at me eating

Thank you so much for your comment. Agree on the Diamond status perks, and on Izumi. We hope you keep watching!
Great run through.
This is RC video because every time I was in there I was drunk! 🤣🤣
Every single time you two make my Cruise Fomo get worse and worse! Great job with this video
Nothing worse than cruise FOMO…
Glen’s right, sorry Ant 😂

Thanks for your comment - keep watching, as we have some Anthem videos landing very soon…

Think you’re right, guys
Hey - Ant here - Thank you so much for this advice - Royal tier matched us! ❤️❤️❤️
@@AntandGlen Now you're both equal gems! Lololololol

Glad you’ve enjoyed some of our content and thanks so much for the sub. Hope we get to keep you as a viewer!

Thanks so much for sharing with everyone, we are not jewelry wearers so this is beyond our experience!

I just ask to sit inside.

I agree. I DO NOT want to pay for a specialty restaurant and sit outside where people are walking by in yoir face no way
Ant is not so bothered but I am with you, a hard no.
Loved the new format guys 😀

On Sun Princess, just ask for a table away from the edge and it's no issue at all. We loved Kai Sushi.

Glad you liked, folks! Will let you know how we get on with the restaurant seating on Sun
Glens right.. no frikin way .. spend more to sit in a hallway.. nope.. not happening.. lol
I loved the warm fresh baked cookies up in the windjammer on Royal Caribbean. Those were yummy! Anna
VERY good cookies
I agree with you both. I can resinate with Glen's points, but after a few beers, probably wouldn't care like Ant
Cannot argue with that reasoning
