It really bugs me when people say put your phone away, I COULDN'T. I had to have connection because I was the sole caregiver/patient advocate for my mom. I gave permission for my son to make decisions BUT that was his grandmother. They only would contact him they couldn't contact me. If you have never been the caregiver/advocate you will never understand. I lost her coming on 4 years now. If you have your parents spend time with them, don't be left with regrets along with those precious memories.
Yes, some just do not understand that what works for them may be impossible for another. Not everyone can just shut off the world for five minutes let alone 7 days. It is hard when you are the sole caregiver. I have certainly been there. Sending you warm hugs and I am sorry for your loss. Time doesn't always heal, sometimes it just makes us miss them more. Robert and I both have lost both our parents.
I’m with you on needing internet access. There is someone at home who gets agitated if I’m out of touch for too long and I cruise with people who need to check in regularly with work contacts.
Hey Favor and Robert!!! We are booked on on the jubilee for 4/27-5/4 2024. So excited!!! Are u guys planning to sail on her when she comes in December?
We had the inaugural booked but that was cancelled by Carnival so we rebooked for the summer of 2024! I am so glad Galveston is getting one of the new ships! Very exciting! You will have to let us know how you like her! Hugs!
I LOVE cruising but disembarkation day is always so hectic. The last cruise I went on, we got back to Galveston right in the middle of that arctic blast back in December, and the gangway to get off the ship was completely frozen because of the temps outside. We were stuck on the ship for at least two hours and by the time we were able to get off, everybody was scrambling to get off even when their section had not been called. On top of all of that, the shuttle buses to the parking lot were running very slow, so the line to get on the buses was incredibly long. Safe to say we will definately be checking out that parking garage yall use!
Oh no! That was an awful time to be disembarking. Yikes! If people only realized that going at your slotted time allows for fewer lines and less time spent it would be so much better. Yes, we really like being able to simply walk to our car! Hugs!
Hi my friend! Wow thank you so much for the informative vlogs on this ship. We will not purchase internet. Quick question for you though. We are flying into Houston Intercontinental and we are picking up our shuttle "Galveston Express" which will take us to Howard Johnson. Where do we pick that up any idea ?
Since we live here I have never shuttled. That said there should be signs and lots airport personnel to direct you. I'm sorry I can't answer that one. BUT usually shuttles are in the baggage claim area exits, the parking shuttles are there. There are exits on each side so just read the signs for each side. Hugs my friend! Safe travels!
@@LifeWithFavor Hi My friend ! I had forgotten that you lived there. So sorry. :) I will also ask if needed. Thank you for your information. I appreciate you also getting the vlogs out on Ruby Princess. I am going to re watch them the next couple of days again. :) Hugs my friend.
Hi Favor and Robert! Too bad about the internet access...a lot of people need it!! That looked like a funny comedy show. Nice trip....go get your Mexican food...lol! Hugs!
Which deck do you disembark from. We want to bring our own luggage off and wanting to know which is the best deck to stay in to roll your own luggage off
Hi, If I recall it was deck 5 we disembarked from - not sure if there are cabins on this deck. it doesn't really matter what deck you stay on because you will have to use the elevators unless you carry your luggage down the stairs... The elevators are always an issue when disembarking.. the earlier you go down the better to beat the crowds - once the ship is cleared to be disembarked.
I agree, I thought the ship needed a bit of a refresher in the cabins.. we put a pool towel down on the couch because it was so badly stained neither of us wanted to sit on it and the carpet is worn. The bathroom was in good shape though, that was nice. Hugs!
Sorry the internet was slow. It was slow on the Royal Princess as well. Thanks for sharing, I miss and love the Ruby Princess. The Royal Princess does not have a nice long outside promenade deck 7. I’m a new subscriber and have a new Cruise You Tube channel. Please subscribe, it would be much appreciated.
Yep.. that's what I do. With luggage it is difficult and many are in scooters and must take the elevators so we are sure to mention they are slow. Happy cruising and thank you for watching!
Hi, it was offered when we booked. They are always available, you can book with a package or without. There are a few tiers to choose from. I always call to book my Princess cruises.
Thanks for vloggin your adventure! We leave out Feb. 26 on the Ruby Princess!
Have so, so much fun! Don't forget to use the Princess Patter so you don't miss any fun! Hugs! Thank you for watching!
Hi Favor and Robert. I Enjoyed the series . Excited for the next one my friend ❤🛳😊
Hi my friend thank you! I just finished editing the Allure Sneak Peek! Up this week! Hugs!

I was on Princess last summer and the vibe suits me perfectly. But the itineraries are either too long or not where I want to go.
I’m with you on needing internet access. There is someone at home who gets agitated if I’m out of touch for too long and I cruise with people who need to check in regularly with work contacts.
Thank you for sharing that. This week would have been a bit stressful for everyone, sometime you just could not get anything to work at all. Hugs!

Another great cruise vlog!! Onto the Allure...well Tex-Mex...then Allure! Lol
Haha! Yes! We had to have the Tex-Mex! It was so good, too! Hugs my friend!
We did Allure in January. Cabins are ready for the scheduled refurbishment but all in all it was a great cruise.
I agree, I thought the ship needed a bit of a refresher in the cabins.. we put a pool towel down on the couch because it was so badly stained neither of us wanted to sit on it and the carpet is worn. The bathroom was in good shape though, that was nice. Hugs!
Looks good
Thank you for watching my friend! Hugs!
Was on ruby princess in oct and internet was perfect. wonder what was going on.
Could be any number of things. I just hope it was just a fluke for our sailing.
Sorry the internet was slow. It was slow on the Royal Princess as well.
Thanks for sharing, I miss and love the Ruby Princess. The Royal Princess does not have a nice long outside promenade deck 7.

We make ourselves use the stairs it helps us burn some of the huge amounts of calories
Yep.. that's what I do. With luggage it is difficult and many are in scooters and must take the elevators so we are sure to mention they are slow. Happy cruising and thank you for watching!
Carnival cruise line / Corp. - Said while back -- to add Starlink internet
Royal Caribbean have Starlink internet
I am interested to see how well it does. The current Voom on Royal is really very good. Hugs!
