Ben and David, we just returned form a Mediterranean cruise out of Rome. Your tips on getting from Rome to the port, and so many other tips were so beneficial to our enjoyment of the trip. Going from the airport to our hotel by train was so much less stress because you showed us just what to do. My husband was so nervous and I said, well Ben and David said....It was fantastic. Thank you so much. We had a great time. Love you guys.
I'm a solo traveller and got a 7 night cruise on Msc, double inside cabin for 1, going from Southampton to Le Havre, Brussels, Amsterdam and Hamburg for £299 in November! Not only that, they matched my Elite status with Princess although it was my first time! They gave me champagne, macarons, free meal in specialty restaurant, chocolates, slippers etc! Wasn't expecting much but it was fantastic!
I actually really enjoy Carnival, even though not their target demographic. I have no doubt you’ll give it a fair shake, realizing that an older Carnival ship sailing to Nassau is a much different experience than a newer Carnival ship sailing to another port. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for all the great advice and content.
We got a $140 ($20 each plus fees) 3-day balcony for 2 of us through Carnival back in March! It's definitely an interesting time to be cruising! Interested to hear what you think about Carnival.
Great video for those who haven't cruised or booked often. One thing I do is when looking at a possible guarantee cabin, I will check the other option and to see what cabins they are showing available. It gives me an idea of what cabin I 'might' possibly get (if I can't pick a mid-ship on my own, then chances are I won't get it as a guarantee). Another thing I do, as a solo cruiser, is decide which cruise I want to go on and then book my (no fee change) airfare and hotel and wait last minute to book the cruise, waiting for the solo supplement to be removed. This is a bit of a gamble but so far, so good. And if I am sailing out of Florida, and the supplement doesn't drop on the cruise I wanted, I can easily find something else. Already looking forward to your next adventure (and you sailing Carnival...I was a one and done on them).
I'm new to cruising and also a solo cruiser. You've shared some really useful tips 🙏🏾 I'm kicking myself for not booking my flights earlier this year when I saw them cheap. They've gone up by 30% due to the increase in oil costs I'm so annoyed but hey, I'm going to give up drinking alcohol & the drinks package I was going to choose, in order to get my flight. I'm too excited about being able to travel after working so hard through the pandemic...
Hey guys, great video! Just a note on the price match that you said is offered to USA Customers from the cruise lines, Royal Caribbean actually do honour this for UK customers too. I'm a Travel Agent and have had helped Cruisers with this before :)
Three day cruises on Carnival can be more of a party cruise. Lots of kids and drinking adults. Longer cruises are a bit more representative of the line. Hope you have a great time.
I've read that also that the 3 day and 2 day taster cruises are more like hen and stag cruises (batchelor and batchelorette parties) and so don't represent the usual clientele.
Hi Ben and David! This sounds really interesting comparing to the other cruise lines. Heard you say your going to be on the Wish. That should be really cool seeing how you compare it to other Disney ships. Have a great day!
I have 4 cruises in a row on Carnival Mardi Gras . 7 days each for $100 per person plus port fees/ taxes and prepaid gratuities. I go solo therefore its $479 total for me. Plus they are giving me $200 on board credit and $250 fun play per cruise. 4 ports each cruise. 4 cruises times $479 equals $1916 for 28 days total
Oh boy… to give Carnival a fair test, I highly recommend ONLY sailing on one of their newer ships from Breeze through Celebration. Their older ships are cheap for a reason 👍
I totally lucked out on my last cabin aboard the Adventure of the Seas. They moved me from a windowless interior room to an ocean view. It was also quiet
I like ocean view the best! I used to like balcony but the smokers smoke on the balcony, even though they aren’t supposed to, with the ocean view i don’t have to smell the smokers nastiness but still get a view.
As a single person I would really like to find a week long cruise (soon), maybe Mediterranean, not expensive, maybe MSC, or similar. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :))
I found a good website for Vacations to go, which has many options for reasonably priced cruises worldwide. I was able to book a cruise as my transportation home to NZ, as well as being a 4 week holiday getting there!
The Conquest class ships on Carnival are amazing. One of my favorite classes. Pro tip about Liberty there’s a beautiful huge sauna and steam room in the locker room that overlook the ocean. It’s so relaxing and it’s FREE! Carnival Liberty doesn’t have a thermal suite but it’s the next best thing. Also, Bimini is a totally beautiful port it’s not super commercialized as it’s a new port. I suggest renting a golf cart for $60 USD and explore the island and hit up the local restaurants and bars and shops and free public beaches. I absolutely love Bimini and the Conquest Class (class of Liberty) and Carnival in general!
We just got off a 5 day western Caribbean today on carnival and paid $90 PP $507 with taxes and port fees and last cruise we paid $45 per person for a 4 day in April. We went on royal last month and got a good deal and we enjoyed its however we love our carnival party ships as well and the crew remembered us and it was wonderful! The food far surpassed the food on royal Caribbean or at least the independence we were on last month! Hope you guys enjoy your first carnival voyage! Not my go to vacation or cruise line all the time It’s definitely super fun for a cheap getaway ❤️ the VIFP club is really good with their discounts
Hey Ben and David. Yesss. Carnival has many many cheap cruises depending what port you’re leaving from. We’re from NY so it’s rare. But Florida port 2-5 days I have seen as low as $0. Just pay taxes and port fees. We’re leaving July 18th on the Magic and got a spa balcony for $1500 for both of us for an 8 night. Next year on the inaugural Jublilee out of Galveston we got a balcony for $1100 for both of us. Next august 2023 Oasis of the Sea got a balcony for $1348 each on a 9 night but will get reduced if and when. The interior was $584. Last Royal on the Allure , went from $3500 to $2500 🙌🏼. It’s hit or miss and luck. Great tips and Thanks so much and see you next video. I dummy book all the time. Never put payment info; then get the email please complete your booking. 😂.
Ben and David...... I use vacationstogo......for cruises....... I got one to Alaska....7nights......balcony....carnival.......for 364 plus tax..... I have seen them down to 50......for a 7nights....so good luck.....lady mary
Hope you have a good time but personally Carnival is not one we like. The only way we would sail with them again would be on a new big ship (Mardi Gras) otherwise no way. Those prices are cheap for a reason.
Also, you’ll now be a part of Carnivals VIFP (loyalty program). And those deals are stupid great. Right now they’re running rates that end up paying you to go! I have one booked for early in 2023 that was 5 days for 2 people and only cost $490 WITH taxes and port fees. PLUS a $500 onboard credit so we are literally get paid $10 to cruise!
Thanks for a really informative video! I love all your videos; it's good to have one that will help me to book our next cruise. Here is food for thought. For the third time Norwegian has cancelled our Asian cruise and we need to leave booking that one again for awhile. We had Norwegian book everything for us. Flights and hotel the night before and also we wanted a few extra days after the cruise as well. All taken care of. The bonus with that was that when the cruise was cancelled, we got our total refund all from one spot without delay. It might not work all the time, but this is the one time when an expensive cruise (travelling from Ontario, Canada) was seamlessly refunded back to us. Happy Cruising to both of you! :)
Ive sailed both Royal Caribbean and Carnival. While Carnival isnt bad at all, the clientelle leave something to be desired. Classier group on RCCL, and like someone said Carnival clientele feel like they're on vacation from the trailer park, Overall though I think youll have fun. Order at the specialty italian restaurant - the chicken parmegiana is out of this world!!!
this video helped me so much thank you, we have booked a holiday in Florida and I want to surprise my wife for her 50th(she'll kill me for revealing her age) with a 3 day cruise while we are there. We both look forward to Sunday evening as we know there is a new Ben and David video and you guys are so much better than anything on T.V., enjoy your cruise guys and thank you. Stay safe
Interesting Instead of cheapest should talk about the best value Always recommend a travel agent They will get the same price as any website plus can move u into a group perhaps with OBC that u can’t get
Have you ever tried German cruise ships? For example German Carnival daughter “Aida” ist really good in my opinion. (Very chill and casual) or tui cruises.
Ok I stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching ever since. Information with humor is the perfect combination. Love you two. Happy Cruising!!!
We are going on the Disney WISH for their Inaugural Cruise and Back to Back on there next cruise for DVC members. Hopping to see you guys, if your sailing on any one of them.
I went on a Carnival ship and I’m too old for it. I don’t drink and kept comparing it to Princess. Love Princess. Price and length are the important items for me.
I like carnival because of the spa rooms and price, but the passenger atmosphere is a bit hard. Carnivals policy is that they can’t control guests actions according to our last cruise, even if it illegal activity, so because of carnivals standards, we won’t cruise them anymore. Don’t cruse the Carnival Sunrise. That’s was the ship that doesn’t support their security staff or repeat cruisers.
I really love watching you two. However I feel this video was pretty misleading. Yes the initial price was $269, but in reality it would have cost around $1000. Not really that cheap.
Hi Ben and David, I would really love to go on a cruise but I have an illness where I can't eat food, (I'm fed through a feeding tube) I use a scooter, I can walk a small distance , my hubby can eat plenty 😊 we don't really drink alcohol, we're not boring honestly 🤣, we would like to sail from Southampton, we live in Wales uk, are there any cruises you can recommend for us? Love your channel 💙
I want to say something for Carnival. I understand some of you guys who were fans of Princess or other "better" cruise line did not have good time with Carnival. As a new cruiser，I can not care if the ship is old because Carnival Miracle is just in the city where I live，which is a great chance to try. Okkk, I have to admit that although Miracle had been renovation few years ago, the choice of color and design of the inside look little bit old school. The food is not bad, but not surprising or impressing , which is like other people said. Then the crew members were great and nice, and I did not see any problems during my trip;therefore, my first and solo cruise trip was great.
I just got a RCL 5 day To Perfect day and Nassau for $500 each. In a large aft facing balcony. 4 of us are going. What a good deal. They are out there.
i got a stupid question do big cruise lines go to Muslim country ports where its gay is a crime? do they refuse you if you as for a queen size bed rather than 2 singke beds? it poped in my head as i watch travel videis and food travel videos and its funny when 2 straight guys go into a B&B or some randome hotel asking for 1 room and staff about have a fit and say NO room available or tell them they must get separate rooms lol
There is something else to consider, when looking at the very cheapest scroll down a few looking at the number of nights. I have been able to add a night or two for just a bit more money so average price per night actually goes down.
I just cruised on Liberty a few weekends ago. It was such fun! I did the steakhouse twice. The food was excellent! Guy's Burger Joint was quite good as was the tacos I tried. The pizza was very good! Customer service was very good to excellent. The drinks at the Alchemy Bar were amazing. The ship itself is UNIQUE to say the least. It looks way better in person than it does on video. Enjoy!
This is a booze cruise. You will be cruising with bridal parties and Florida residents that want to get away. Not a true idea of what Carnival is like on a 5 or 7 day cruise.
We try Vacations to Go first then look at what’s on offer directly from the cruise line. We get direct email offers, too. We’ve gotten free cruises after taking cash out at the cashier cage in the casino because it counts as money spent in the casino, too. And if the itinerary is right we will book however is easiest, too.
Great tips. Thank you. We booked Royal Caribbean from Haifa to Cyprus and the Greek Islands for September. Saw the price online and called RC UK office and they gave us a much better price. So it’s worth calling the cruise line to see if their prices are better than the online price. We were very pleasantly surprised.
I've sailed with them for $1 interior. I paid $400 for a suite on one cruise. I got a Balcony earlier this year on the breeze for $25PP. :) Cost me less than $100PP for round trip tickets from DFW to Houston. CCL is awesome! I've unfortunately or fortunately switched my loyalty to them from NCL.
@@Lori_L It was phenomenal. The BEST carnival cruises I ever had. Both were on the Breeze out of Galveston. One in October 2021, and the other in January 2022. And the Breeze has a decent spa. It's not like NCL but for that price.. OMG! I'm eagerly awaiting another deal like that. Right now I'm getting deals to Alaska for $25PP but with the cost of flying to Seattle from DFW being so high, its not worth it at all. I'll just wait for another one out of Galveston.
This past Spring, found Carnival Sunshine out of Charleston, inside cabin, 5 nights, $25.00. And being just a 15 drive to the port, a no brainer to book it.
Always great watching your videos. Well was on the NCL Cruise in Hawaii. Staff are nice most of them and they have never seen a person who is blind. They do not speak different languages. Careful with the cruise as you have to pay for so many things. Before i went on i went swimming with the Dolphins and it was nice, however i got stun by baby jelly fish and i puffed up twice my size due to been allergic. Half of the time was spent in medical then in my studio. When it came time to leave i was to get a wheelchair and asked the day before and that day. Staff did not bother to help me or help with my luggage as i hurt my hand . To remind that you have to pay for so many things on the cruise. I would never go with that company again after what they did as i am in an air cast boot and blind. Look forward to watching more videos from you. 😀cheers. !
@@remove574 Thank You for your concern. Not sure I ever want to cruise again after this. And trying to get off was so hard for me on top of been blind as well. Still have bandages on my arms as well from been stun by jelly fish. I asked a few times and they knew I needed a Wheelchair Lack of respect.Stay safe.Cheers.!
we paid $800 for the 2 of us on carnival in November for a balcony 7 days. a few months ago for 7 days we paid around $600 last year during the pandic we paid around $500. this is all on carnival cuz it appears to be the cheapest cruise line. we went on 3 cruises last year. now the prices have really gone up so we don't think we will find those prices again
Cruise no nowhere is a cruise that is all sea days, doesn’t visit any ports and returns to the same port you boarded. A relation cruise is a cruise that stars and ends in different ports.
Never cruised always wanted to we are in our late seventies have recently came across your channel you make every fear that’s stopped us from cruising disappear bless you both I’m looking at cruises ! ❤️❤️💝🏴🏴🏴
Once you're a VIFP member (Carnival's loyalty program), you will get special offers. I just sailed on Carnival Splendor to Alaska for $100 per person plus taxes and port fees. They gave us $200 onboard credit, so essentially our fare was free. 2 of us sailed in a large Oceanview cabin (2470) for under $950 total, not considering the onboard credit. 7 days to ALASKA. Unheard of. I booked it less than 2 months out. Not a luxury cruise, but we had a lot of fun and Alaska is simply amazing.
We like to go on the Vacations to Go website, and then click on the 90-Day Tickler icon. It will bring up cruises sailing in the next 90 Days. It's broken down by where you are traveling. Most cruises are 75% off, some as much as 90%. You will be amazed at the prices!!
I've sailed on Norwegian, Holland America, Royal Caribbean older ship, Princess Alaska. I'd take the Carnival Vista or Breeze any day over the Cocoon Alaska Princess Cruise I took out of San Francisco where the average age had to have been over 70 yo.
We cruised with Royal Carribbean on Granduer of the Seas for 10 nights in 2019 over Christmas, on a repositioning cruise from Puerto Rico to New York; £209pp in a balcony stateroom! Granduer was a small ship which, as we learnt, didn't really suit what we were after: for the cheap price, however, we really couldn't complain and it was still a great way to give the cruise line and ship a chance. It was our first - and currently only - RCL cruise, but we're definitely looking at going on another one next summer in a bigger ship (would love an oasis class ship, but we can't compensate paying over £1000pp for it), so we're currently just checking the website most days just incase the price decreases at all!
Carnival Cruise Ships Hi David and Ben. I enjoy watching your TH-cams. I actually like Carnival Cruise Ships because they are fun. Their best ships are the Vista Class Ships and the Dream Class Ships. Though now their newest class is the Celebration Class. I like the Carnival Vista the best which is a Vista Class Ship and the 2nd favorite is the Carnival Breeze which is a Dream Class. Also I highly recommend going to the Spa on Embarcation Day ASAP and buying the length of cruise thermal suite unlimited access pass for Vista or Breeze if you ever sail on these ships. Also Carnival Cruise Ships Breeze and Vista did usually have an 1980s Party where you dress like it's the 80s think Madonna and B52s and a White Party where you dress in All White and they give you glow sticks. So don't forget to pack for these parties if they're on your cruise. Also the comedians are excellent and you should show up at least 15 minutes or more before the show time as the show hits capacity. You can also go to the Mexican Iguana place by Guy's Burgers and have their made to order breakfast burritos. Also in the Main Dining Room Breakfast, the Indian Dosa is excellent. Bring Hair Conditioner as Carnival does not provide hair conditioner. Also their hand bar soap is not my favorite so I would take the bar soap from your hotel for your carnival cruise. You should also order bottled water for your room before you board. I also order 6 packs of sodas and cranberry juice too. If you drink a lot it's probably worth getting the Drinks package.

How did you get from Rome to the port?
@@zahraabu interested too. I've booked the civitavecchia express train to the centre.
Which Vlog ? I’d love to go xx
I'm a solo traveller and got a 7 night cruise on Msc, double inside cabin for 1, going from Southampton to Le Havre, Brussels, Amsterdam and Hamburg for £299 in November! Not only that, they matched my Elite status with Princess although it was my first time! They gave me champagne, macarons, free meal in specialty restaurant, chocolates, slippers etc!

Hey guys, great video! Just a note on the price match that you said is offered to USA Customers from the cruise lines, Royal Caribbean actually do honour this for UK customers too. I'm a Travel Agent and have had helped Cruisers with this before :)
Three day cruises on Carnival can be more of a party cruise. Lots of kids and drinking adults. Longer cruises are a bit more representative of the line. Hope you have a great time.
I've read that also that the 3 day and 2 day taster cruises are more like hen and stag cruises (batchelor and batchelorette parties) and so don't represent the usual clientele.
Hi Ben and David! This sounds really interesting comparing to the other cruise lines. Heard you say your going to be on the Wish. That should be really cool seeing how you compare it to other Disney ships. Have a great day!
I have 4 cruises in a row on Carnival Mardi Gras . 7 days each for $100 per person plus port fees/ taxes and prepaid gratuities. I go solo therefore its $479 total for me. Plus they are giving me $200 on board credit and $250 fun play per cruise. 4 ports each cruise.
4 cruises times $479 equals $1916 for 28 days total
Oh boy… to give Carnival a fair test, I highly recommend ONLY sailing on one of their newer ships from Breeze through Celebration. Their older ships are cheap for a reason 👍
Are you trying to have fewer people on those ships so you can enjoy them for yourself?
Also 3 day cruises definitely have a different vibe than a 7day or longer . I love Carnival but I don't like their 3 and 4 day cruises.
I agree!! been on 10 carnival cruises, older ships for quicker cruise are ok but love the newer ships and stops for longer cruises!
I totally lucked out on my last cabin aboard the Adventure of the Seas. They moved me from a windowless interior room to an ocean view. It was also quiet
I like ocean view the best! I used to like balcony but the smokers smoke on the balcony, even though they aren’t supposed to, with the ocean view i don’t have to smell the smokers nastiness but still get a view.
I just booked a 7 night on Carnival Glory out of New Orleans!😄
As a single person I would really like to find a week long cruise (soon), maybe Mediterranean, not expensive, maybe MSC, or similar. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :))
I found a good website for Vacations to go, which has many options for reasonably priced cruises worldwide. I was able to book a cruise as my transportation home to NZ, as well as being a 4 week holiday getting there!
After your first sailing you will save even more. I got 7 nights in Mexico for $150 on carnival.
The Conquest class ships on Carnival are amazing. One of my favorite classes. Pro tip about Liberty there’s a beautiful huge sauna and steam room in the locker room that overlook the ocean. It’s so relaxing and it’s FREE! Carnival Liberty doesn’t have a thermal suite but it’s the next best thing. Also, Bimini is a totally beautiful port it’s not super commercialized as it’s a new port.

Interesting
Instead of cheapest should talk about the best value
Always recommend a travel agent They will get the same price as any website plus can move u into a group perhaps with OBC that u can’t get
I get interline discounts,retired airline crew, and get it at vacations to go.carnival is high. I'm going Rio to Lisbon,$296 solo.
Have you ever tried German cruise ships? For example German Carnival daughter “Aida” ist really good in my opinion. (Very chill and casual) or tui cruises.
I will be Carnival Liberty July 15. With OBC, Carnival is practically paying me to go the cruise.
That’s my price for a 7-8 day Carnival?
I went on a carnival cruise in March for only $55 per person 4 nights it was great plus it was close enough we didn’t have to fly
Ok I stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching ever since. Information with humor is the perfect combination. Love you two. Happy Cruising!!!
I have that Starbucks mug too! FYI I got cheaper cruise deals by scrolling AAA, Sams Club Travel, USAA members travel, and Costco Travel.
We are going on the Disney WISH for their Inaugural Cruise and Back to Back on there next cruise for DVC members. Hopping to see you guys, if your sailing on any one of them.
Hello Ben and David, just watched your mean comments video.

What was your ocupation before you started cruising,,,, RLCK. From Las Vegas U,S,A,
I like carnival because of the spa rooms and price, but the passenger atmosphere is a bit hard. Carnivals policy is that they can’t control guests actions according to our last cruise, even if it illegal activity, so because of carnivals standards, we won’t cruise them anymore. Don’t cruse the Carnival Sunrise. That’s was the ship that doesn’t support their security staff or repeat cruisers.
Love to see you on more river cruises ❤ the Christmas one was amazing.
Once you’re a VFIP member, Carnival has had deals as low as $35 per person for a 7 night Alaskan cruise.
I really love watching you two. However I feel this video was pretty misleading. Yes the initial price was $269, but in reality it would have cost around $1000. Not really that cheap.
Brilliant video Thankyou. I’m currently looking to book my first cruise.

As a new cruiser，I can not care if the ship is old because Carnival Miracle is just in the city where I live，which is a great chance to try. Okkk, I have to admit that although Miracle had been renovation few years ago, the choice of color and design of the inside look little bit old school. The food is not bad, but not surprising or impressing , which is like other people said. Then the crew members were great and nice, and I did not see any problems during my trip;therefore, my first and solo cruise trip was great.
I just got a RCL 5 day To Perfect day and Nassau for $500 each. In a large aft facing balcony. 4 of us are going. What a good deal. They are out there.
I booked same cruises. Everyone was asking me how did i find it. Our was 5 day cruise from Tampa FL on Carnival Paradise 🎉
My husband & I are looking to book a repositioning cruise with Royal Caribbean…how do I find them?
Hry guys thank you for all your videos..I have a question what you guys Jobs you guys do..please
Carnival!? Omg; Interested to see how this compares to your MSC experience lol
The food will b better on carnival..😋 but msc ships prettier..🤩
@@blanchegiunta4316 No the food isn't good either. (carnival Legend 5/22)
@@barbaragillespie393 The Legend is DATED!!!!!
Have tried Carnival to the Bahamas, very old ship, boring food, not much in amenities.
We are flying to NY from Florida, and then boarding our Princess ship from there. Sailing on up into Canada
When are you going on the Disney Wish? I’m on one in July. Would love to see you guys!
i got a stupid question do big cruise lines go to Muslim country ports where its gay is a crime? do they refuse you if you as for a queen size bed rather than 2 singke beds? it poped in my head as i watch travel videis and food travel videos and its funny when 2 straight guys go into a B&B or some randome hotel asking for 1 room and staff about have a fit and say NO room available or tell them they must get separate rooms lol
There is something else to consider, when looking at the very cheapest scroll down a few looking at the number of nights. I have been able to add a night or two for just a bit more money so average price per night actually goes down.
Oh I am actually looking forward to you guys doing this cruise! I didn’t consider this line when booking our first cruise this year!
Awesome video! I just subscribed. Thanks!
I just cruised on Liberty a few weekends ago. It was such fun! I did the steakhouse twice. The food was excellent! Guy's Burger Joint was quite good as was the tacos I tried. The pizza was very good! Customer service was very good to excellent. The drinks at the Alchemy Bar were amazing. The ship itself is UNIQUE to say the least. It looks way better in person than it does on video. Enjoy!
This is a booze cruise. You will be cruising with bridal parties and Florida residents that want to get away. Not a true idea of what Carnival is like on a 5 or 7 day cruise.
Have fun ! Our experience is a weekend cruise may well be a booze cruise, but let us know how it goes.
i’m going on the LA to Ensenada one for 69 bucks per person. crazy.
We try Vacations to Go first then look at what’s on offer directly from the cruise line. We get direct email offers, too. We’ve gotten free cruises after taking cash out at the cashier cage in the casino because it counts as money spent in the casino, too. And if the itinerary is right we will book however is easiest, too.
Great tips. Thank you. We booked Royal Caribbean from Haifa to Cyprus and the Greek Islands for September. Saw the price online and called RC UK office and they gave us a much better price. So it’s worth calling the cruise line to see if their prices are better than the online price. We were very pleasantly surprised.
Will these cheap Carnival cruises be in inside room with bunk beds, which I have seen on other vlogs.
Wow! £40 to pick your own cabin. That's a rip-off.
Ben- your drink looked so good and I kept waiting for you to take a sip!
But does that include the daily service charge, port fees and gratuity?
I'm curious what about the Aida cruise line?
In Australia cruising you still need to wear masks in public areas and social distance
Have you done a "REGENT" CRUISE??
Did you say that you hadn’t sailed Carnival? I thought y’all had.
Loving the number of views! You guys are great!
I've sailed with them for $1 interior. I paid $400 for a suite on one cruise. I got a Balcony earlier this year on the breeze for $25PP. :) Cost me less than $100PP for round trip tickets from DFW to Houston. CCL is awesome! I've unfortunately or fortunately switched my loyalty to them from NCL.
My last cruise on the Breeze I paid $90 for a solo porthole cabin for 5 nights (not including taxes and port fees). Couldn't pass that up!
$800 for that flight now you definitely got lucky that is never going to happen again.
@@francoisedunne223 I just checked the flights to Houston. Still decent. 300 round trip with southwest.
Whoa! $1 & $25?! How was it?
@@Lori_L It was phenomenal. The BEST carnival cruises I ever had. Both were on the Breeze out of Galveston. One in October 2021, and the other in January 2022. And the Breeze has a decent spa. It's not like NCL but for that price.. OMG! I'm eagerly awaiting another deal like that. Right now I'm getting deals to Alaska for $25PP but with the cost of flying to Seattle from DFW being so high, its not worth it at all. I'll just wait for another one out of Galveston.
This past Spring, found Carnival Sunshine out of Charleston, inside cabin, 5 nights, $25.00. And being just a 15 drive to the port, a no brainer to book it.
$25 per night? That's a great deal! I hope it was a nice trip.
@@GygaxGirl no, the whole cruise was 25.
@@ScooterB8 that's incredible! I've been searching for months and have never seen that.
I have paid 119.00 for a cruise on msc!
I was just waiting for your Doorbell to ring!!
You will quickly see what is it so cheap - Carnival is a shit show
Love the Keith Harding shirt
You guys are so adorable I love your content, thank you both for everything!
Always great watching your videos. Well was on the NCL Cruise in Hawaii. Staff are nice most of them and they have never seen a person who is blind. They do not speak different languages. Careful with the cruise as you have to pay for so many things. Before i went on i went swimming with the Dolphins and it was nice, however i got stun by baby jelly fish and i puffed up twice my size due to been allergic. Half of the time was spent in medical then in my studio. When it came time to leave i was to get a wheelchair and asked the day before and that day. Staff did not bother to help me or help with my luggage as i hurt my hand . To remind that you have to pay for so many things on the cruise. I would never go with that company again after what they did as i am in an air cast boot and blind. Look forward to watching more videos from you. 😀cheers. !
That was a terrible time for you. Total lack of manners not to help. I hope you are better now 🏴
@@remove574 Thank You for your concern. Not sure I ever want to cruise again after this. And trying to get off was so hard for me on top of been blind as well. Still have bandages on my arms as well from been stun by jelly fish. I asked a few times and they knew I needed a Wheelchair Lack of respect.Stay safe.Cheers.!
Very helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks guys that was very helpful 👍
Hi guys. Who has the best wifi on board?
we paid $800 for the 2 of us on carnival in November for a balcony 7 days. a few months ago for 7 days we paid around $600 last year during the pandic we paid around $500. this is all on carnival cuz it appears to be the cheapest cruise line. we went on 3 cruises last year. now the prices have really gone up so we don't think we will find those prices again
Excellent stuff thanks guys 😊👍 from Bris Aus
Our pleasure!
Love your videos!!!! What is a cruise to nowhere? And what is a relocation cruise? Is it worth the low price to take a chance on these? Thanks!!!!
Cruise no nowhere is a cruise that is all sea days, doesn’t visit any ports and returns to the same port you boarded. A relation cruise is a cruise that stars and ends in different ports.
Never cruised always wanted to we are in our late seventies have recently came across your channel you make every fear that’s stopped us from cruising disappear bless you both I’m looking at cruises ! ❤️❤️💝🏴🏴🏴
I heard disney premier trip has been canceled.
Can you do a video on what to pack and what not to pack?
Once you're a VIFP member (Carnival's loyalty program), you will get special offers. I just sailed on Carnival Splendor to Alaska for $100 per person plus taxes and port fees. They gave us $200 onboard credit, so essentially our fare was free. 2 of us sailed in a large Oceanview cabin (2470) for under $950 total, not considering the onboard credit. 7 days to ALASKA. Unheard of. I booked it less than 2 months out. Not a luxury cruise, but we had a lot of fun and Alaska is simply amazing.
My cheapest cruise was 250 leaving out of the baltics on NCL. It was 15 day's...
We like to go on the Vacations to Go website, and then click on the 90-Day Tickler icon. It will bring up cruises sailing in the next 90 Days. It's broken down by where you are traveling. Most cruises are 75% off, some as much as 90%. You will be amazed at the prices!!
Is that $900 for 2 people a day?
I've sailed on Norwegian, Holland America, Royal Caribbean older ship, Princess Alaska. I'd take the Carnival Vista or Breeze any day over the Cocoon Alaska Princess Cruise I took out of San Francisco where the average age had to have been over 70 yo.
Why do you never sail on Celebrity?
I just got off the Carnival Panorama. It was incredible for the price. I was shocked by how much fun it was!!!! I’m a Carnival fan now!!!
We cruised with Royal Carribbean on Granduer of the Seas for 10 nights in 2019 over Christmas, on a repositioning cruise from Puerto Rico to New York; £209pp in a balcony stateroom! Granduer was a small ship which, as we learnt, didn't really suit what we were after: for the cheap price, however, we really couldn't complain and it was still a great way to give the cruise line and ship a chance.
It was our first - and currently only - RCL cruise, but we're definitely looking at going on another one next summer in a bigger ship (would love an oasis class ship, but we can't compensate paying over £1000pp for it), so we're currently just checking the website most days just incase the price decreases at all!
Carnival Cruise Ships
Hi David and Ben. I enjoy watching your TH-cams. I actually like Carnival Cruise Ships because they are fun. Their best ships are the Vista Class Ships and the Dream Class Ships. Though now their newest class is the Celebration Class. I like the Carnival Vista the best which is a Vista Class Ship and the 2nd favorite is the Carnival Breeze which is a Dream Class. Also I highly recommend going to the Spa on Embarcation Day ASAP and buying the length of cruise thermal suite unlimited access pass for Vista or Breeze if you ever sail on these ships. Also Carnival Cruise Ships Breeze and Vista did usually have an 1980s Party where you dress like it's the 80s think Madonna and B52s and a White Party where you dress in All White and they give you glow sticks. So don't forget to pack for these parties if they're on your cruise. Also the comedians are excellent and you should show up at least 15 minutes or more before the show time as the show hits capacity. You can also go to the Mexican Iguana place by Guy's Burgers and have their made to order breakfast burritos. Also in the Main Dining Room Breakfast, the Indian Dosa is excellent. Bring Hair Conditioner as Carnival does not provide hair conditioner. Also their hand bar soap is not my favorite so I would take the bar soap from your hotel for your carnival cruise. You should also order bottled water for your room before you board. I also order 6 packs of sodas and cranberry juice too. If you drink a lot it's probably worth getting the Drinks package.
