Such a great video! There is so much to do on a cruise but so many people miss out on the hidden gems of things to do. This makes me so jealous but excited to travel! Can't wait to go! 5 more weeks or so! See you on the seas my friend!
@joycelove8827 Hey friend!👋🏽 You are welcome Ms. Joyce!!! Hope you and Mr. Eugene are having a wonderful day! I'm tired! Just got back from the Sail Away Party on Venezia and Cruise Director, Georgia is a WHOLE workout! 😂 Gotta rest up before dinner but I'm still having the time of my life cruising. Miss you guys. Hope you're staying safe and keeping well. 🤗🌻💛
In your budget you should show how much you would be spending not living on the ship..property taxes, house maintenance, car tags and car insurance..also groceries..you in my opinion are saving a bundle..I just paid my property taxes $6500. 😢..have fun
👋 Hi Jean. Then someone in the south would say, girl you can get an apt here for $1 a month and someone from New York or L.A. would say, chile, that's nothing, we pay a million dollars per month. 😂As convoluted as my explanations are, I do TRY to keep it as simple & cruise/travel focused as I can. Thanks for watching. 🚢
That would be cool! But not really feasible. Excursions are usually 4 to 6 hours long and I couldn't stream for that long in foreign countries or even in U.S.A.... my camera equipment is not that fancy. Plus, I'm retired to a soft life of ease and am not looking to be tied to a schedule or other people's expectations. I just wanna share what I'm doing in hopes it helps others, but at my leisure and if and when I feel like it. Thanks so much for the suggestion though. If this were a full-time business, that would be really great to do! 🤗🎉💯
@@PovertyToParadiseabsolutely LOVE your respectful AND authentic response ❤️ I just subscribed to your channel today. I've watched three of your videos thus far thanks for giving so many details.
@@PovertyToParadise quick question....I experience severe motion sickness (last cruise 2009) any tips on where I should book (deck/middle of ship?) for best experience. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾
@christinaw.4626 Middle of the ship for sure. I like higher decks, but a lower deck is best to avoid seasickness. Also, check the ships deck plan. It's best not to be above or beneath common areas... preferably you want other cabins above, below & on both sides of you. Wishing you a safe & memorable journey. 🙏🏽💜🛳
😂😂😂 I'm still laughing at Angel and Diamond. Diamond (green shirt) was confused about her name but she seemed like she worked in the Advertising/ Marketing Department of CC. 😂
😂Thanks...I'm looking forward to 'seeing you on the next cruise'! On my last cruise, Cam, the cruise director on Liberty, said, in order to have fun, you have to be fun. Let's all just HAVE & BE fun together! 💃😆🚢
👋Hi Claire. Nope. Because I haven't received free or deeply reduced deals for B2B cruises in other countries. I definitely look for them tho. So far, I've only received them for Australia cruises and getting there (& back) would break my budget. 😂😊🚢 *I do have international cruises coming, but NOT B2B
@madonnacj Hi thx for watching. Yes, but you won't want to eat leftovers as there's no reason - there's always food available so you can get seconds or try something else on the Lido deck, at the burger joint, the pizza joint, the taco & burrito joint or get fresh sandwiches & salads at the deli. PLUS, the fridge is tiny & you don't have a microwave. Still, you can ask for a plate cover or just use another plate. Sometimes I take food out if I want to go to an event/show or another venue [ie sports bar] or just sit by the pool &/or big theater screen or watch a movie in my cabin while eating. But the only time I would "store" food in the cabin would maybe a small snack like a small bowl of fruit or cookies. 🤗🌞🛳
@@PovertyToParadise thanks! I’m just so excited about my first cruise coming up on October 27 on the Rotterdam that my brain is working overtime. Just wanted to know what you would do. I don’t want to look like a beginner. Ha ha. Continue living life lovely.
@bghsh Hi. That's a complicated question/answer. Please check out more videos on the channel starting with my 1st one linked in the description which will answer that and much more. Welcome. 🤗🛳
@@PovertyToParadisein your video i saw the football games on in the bar & assumed it was a sports bar. Perhaps it wasnt. We went on carnival dream & carnival glory & their sports bars were turned into veterans lounges. I thought carnival was phasing them out. Hopefully not.
@darnelltabor6382 @darnelltabor6382 Ohhhh. I see.... If they are, I hadn't heard that. Yes, my video showed the Skybox is the sports bar on Liberty. I am seeing the Veterans lounges on the newer ships tho [Celebration, Venezia, etc...] , but it's still a "sports bar" to me. 🌞 So, yes, you are probably right. When they build new ships and/or refurb old ones, they're putting in the Veterans Lounge for the sports bars. 🤗
Ummm, that's what I call them, yes! 😂 I think it's different people from different areas of the ship (guest services, dining, etc) who are assigned to get us B2B cruisers off the ship, through customs and back on the ship, so, yes, the B2B team! 😆
You made me smile when you said some days you didn't come out of your room at all. I want to be you! 🤩
@@LINDALOGAN-yq2br 😂😅🤷🏽♀️
Once I go to a port three or four times the fifth and time I just stay on the ship me and my wife I think my sister get that from me a big brother lol
@@leonardlee7017 😅 Bruh!!!! Heeeyyyy 👋🏽
I absolutely love your life!
@@rhondaanderson385 Thank you. Me toooooo 😇😊🛳
Loved the clip of you going down the water slide! ❤
A stress-free like is freeing!!!! 😊
The dancing was the best.

Lynnel how are you? I just viewed the TH-cam of my party. Thanks for making my seventh birthday special. Blessings.

Loved this video. In October I’ll be on a 12 day carnival cruise with 6 sea days so this was very helpful thank you
You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy your journey. 🤗🚢
I wonder if there is a way to gift you cruise excursions for Christmas!?? Then we can watch you doing them.❤😊

Awwww, thanks!
Love you sis and love your new journey. You are living our Mom Dream.
Thank you so much!!! Yes, I know she is happy for me and would have been right next to me on every cruise if she could have! 🌹🌹🌹

@@lynettej777 😂😅😂 #True And we STILL do not know her name! 👀🤷🏽♀️😊
Great share! I play board game (I have tons of small ones and card games). People come into the library and even play with me at times.
@lmpreston1 👋🏽🙌🏽 That's really cool. I LOVE playing board games too but my family does not so I can't usually find anyone to play with me. 🙁🤷🏽♀️
I really hope I run into you on a cruise one day. You look like a lot of fun to hang out with. :D

Your video are so informative. Thanks for sharing.
So nice of you. Thanks for watching. 🚢
Been on that ship three times and you already found my deck 10 hot spot lol
😂I feel like I just gave away a million dollar secret tip! 🍽🍗🍜#Deck10
Hi Lynnelle, have you thought about doing a b2b in other countries?
👋Hi Claire. Nope. Because I haven't received free or deeply reduced deals for B2B cruises in other countries. I definitely look for them tho.

Okay, I have to ask... Where did you get your strappy sandals? I could see them while you were attending the retirement seminar. They look so cute!
haha 😆 Thank you. They're waterproof, have arch-support & are great for hiking or long walks. You can get them here amzn.to/4eysDNZ
Thanks for sharing. Quick question….are you allowed to take doggy bags from dining room? I never eat all my food, then I get hungry later.
@madonnacj Hi thx for watching.

Hola, what will you do after you’re done cruising for a year ?
@cpeeps430 Hola & welcome aboard. 👋🏽🛳 I answer that question in this video if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/aBcnxK0IusI/w-d-xo.html
Hi. Do you jump from ship to ship. Or ate you looking for the right ship to retire on
@bghsh Hi. That's a complicated question/answer. Please check out more videos on the channel starting with my 1st one linked in the description which will answer that and much more. Welcome. 🤗🛳
How do your family feel about your lifestyle?
😅 Who cares?! I'm healthy & happy! My kids LOVE this for me, but I didn't ask them or anyone else how they feel, so ion know! 💜🤗💃🏾
Is Carnival getting rid of their sports bars?
idk. I didn't mention that in my video. where'd you hear that and why would they? 😎
@@PovertyToParadisein your video i saw the football games on in the bar & assumed it was a sports bar. Perhaps it wasnt. We went on carnival dream & carnival glory & their sports bars were turned into veterans lounges. I thought carnival was phasing them out. Hopefully not.

@@PovertyToParadise Gotcha. That makes sense. Great content!
🛳🛳🛳
There's a back to back cruise team??
Ummm, that's what I call them, yes! 😂 I think it's different people from different areas of the ship (guest services, dining, etc) who are assigned to get us B2B cruisers off the ship, through customs and back on the ship, so, yes, the B2B team! 😆
@@PovertyToParadise That's good information. THANK YOU!
