What an educational video! You were so lucky to find such a great tour guide. I feel like India would be a huge culture shock for me but with a great tour guide it helps you to understand the chaos. Thank you so much for sharing this!❤
Your video of India is amazing. I feel like i was there with you. A great tour guide. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing , so interesting seeing the real India ...
thanks for going in back street
Whenever I see such densely populated areas like this I often wonder how did they cope during covid. How does the government keep track of everyone? How do the locals not get lost in all those laneways. Its all so fascinating.
Did you see any eaterys for other cuisines?
Everyone seems so content and peaceful with what they have.
Ohh that 'river' is disgraceful. Authorities need to do better. People must get so sick from living near it.
What an insight into this land.
Thank you for sharing.
❤ your favourite Aussie follower 🦘
Mumbai is indeed a massive city, and we only scratched the surface. We did not see Western-style restaurants but we did enjoyed coffees and croissants at a place that looked like Starbucks. As for getting sick, the locals probably do have some of the strongest immune systems in the world!
I have been to Bangalore, India, and got to see the crazy traffic and poverty, but your visit to the slum takes it to another level. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your experience! India is definitely a place of contrasts. The slums show a whole different side of life that's both challenging and inspiring. We're glad we could give you a glimpse into it. Thanks for watching and appreciating our journey! 🌍
Just stunning to see all of this... I've often felt visiting India would be overwhelming. The remarkable entrepreneurship is fascinating.
Gorgeous purchases Tressa! and glad you have sea days to rest up!
Another fantastic video! Such an insight . Better than any geography lesson. We look forward to seeing each video ! 😘
Thank you so much! 😘 We're thrilled you enjoyed the video. We always aim to show you the places as we experience them, rather than just telling you about them. No Wikipedia here-just our thoughts and feelings as we explore. Glad you're along for the ride! 🌍
It is so wonderful to see how people live and work in the different parts of our world. Your videos are amazing. I really enjoyed visiting India with you. Thank you ❤❤
It's incredible to see the diversity in how people live and work around the world. We're glad we could share it with you.
Best video yet ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️ This was actually the hardest video for us to make.
I would have loved to have some of the sari fabric, it looked magnificent! I’d make a wall hanging or something to display.
You are doing a great job on your videos. I like the way you are just showing us around the destinations so that we can come along for the ride and see what you are seeing. I think you have the formula right for Ultimate World Cruise videos.
Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy our approach. We love bringing you along for the ride and sharing our experiences just as we see them. Your support means the world to us. Stay tuned for more from our Ultimate World Cruise! 🌍
I enjoyed every moment of this video. We, the viewers, are being blessed with being able to travel with you. Thank you.
We're thrilled you enjoyed the video and felt like you were traveling with us. It's our pleasure to share these adventures with you. Thanks for being a part of our journey! 😊🌏
Thank you for sharing all your amazing adventures with us. Enjoying all your vlogs.
Thank you so much for following our journey! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the vlogs. There's plenty more to come.
👏👏👏 very interesting video definitely not something you would see every day. they are such hard workers, especially in the heat. Thank you for doing this. As always stay safe.
It's incredible to see how hard everyone works, especially in such tough conditions. We're glad we could share these unique experiences with you. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. Stay tuned for more adventures and take care! 🌍
Oh, my! The blouses/shirts that you got were lovely! Do they have to be hand washed?
Another amazing tour. It opens yours eyes to how hard others live.Those tops are stunning and look beautiful on you. 💜💙
It’s eye-opening to see the different ways people live and work. And I'm glad you liked the tops! Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment!
This is so humbling. I'll reconsider complaining about anything from here on. Thank you so much for your videos and sharing your perspectives on the cities you travel to. We have so much to be thankful for in the states. Looking forward to all of your adventures. ~Pam
Hi Pam,
Yes we have no reason to complain ever. Thanks for the great comment!
Thank for this beautiful vloggings.
Also showing us real INDIA AS INDIA
What a contrast between Colombo and Mumbai. Unbelievable the ways of lifestyle's
Have a safe and happy journey
The contrast between Colombo and Mumbai is indeed striking. We often wonder if religion plays a role in shaping the lifestyles-Sri Lanka being predominantly Buddhist and India mostly Hindu. It's fascinating to see how cultural and religious influences manifest in daily life. Thanks for joining us on this journey, and we’ll keep sharing these unique experiences! 🌏
What an amazing and interesting time you had - great content, editing and music - I was fascinated by the laundry in particular - what a feat of co-ordination that must be! Enjoy the two day sail to Abu Dhabi! Thanks again for your dedication to sharing your trip.
We appreciate your kind words about our content, editing, and music. Thank you so much again!
Wow 😮. That’s eye opening. The bathroom emptying into the river got me🤢. It’s nice to see them recycling. It’s a start.
I love the tops you purchased, they are beautiful!!
Thanks for watching! 😮 Yeah, the river situation was definitely shocking.
I absolutely love your channel! Thanks for sharing!!
We’re thrilled you love our channel. Thanks for watching and supporting us! 😊
This was a fascinating video..To be honest I can’t say it made me want to explore India but really cool experience. As always thanks for sharing your amazing adventure !!!❤
Thank you for watching and for your honest feedback! India can be a bit overwhelming, but we're glad we could share the unique experience with you. Stay tuned for more adventures from different parts of the world! 😊🌏❤️
Thank you for being consistent with your videos. I appreciate how you show how the locals live not only those touristy places. Where do you find those taxi drivers that tour you around?
Thank you so much for watching and appreciating our videos! As for the taxi drivers, we usually find them outside the terminal,, we avoid the aggressive ones. In some ports we use Uber, Grab. Basically we try to find the best way to see as much as we can.
Thanks 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for this and the outfits you brought looked great
Thanks a bunch! I had fun picking out those outfits. 😊 So glad you liked them!
My husband and I are really enjoying your videos. We especially found the Sydney, Papeete, Moorea and Auckland ones quite informative and helpful since we will be doing the transpacific out of Sydney with Royal next April . I was wondering what type of video camera are you using to shoot your videos? I noticed that it looks like a handheld mini?
We're so glad you and your husband are enjoying our videos,
To answer your question, we use the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for shooting our videos. It's a popular question we get often, so we plan to make a video about the camera and our video-making process. We hope to do this after our Cape Town stop when we have some sea days and the time to put it together. Thanks for watching, and have an amazing cruise!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! We're thrilled you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more adventures! 😊
Brilliant video
Thank you! We're happy you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more!
Thank you both for sharing your journey & taking us along on it. But I must ask a Q that has me wondering when you are in these not so touristy areas. Sorry if this is a bit personal BUT......are there public bathrooms suitable esp in some of the back blocks you travel to like areas in this vid as well as some others previously.
Mumbai is different than most other ports. We stop at very nice coffee shop similar to Starbucks. The advantage of not being in a group of 50 we can stop in places like this, it is way easier to find nice clean toilet for just 2. No problem when you have the freedom to go anywhere you want, and no lines for the toilet.
Oh my god you are still on this cruise! Wow
Yes and we have 119 day to go before we end in Miami on December 10th. Many more ports and videos to come. Ultimate World Cruise for sure.
Correction ends September 10th, we started in December 10th

Hi 👋🏻I m following you , in ur journey from day one ,and I m more than pleased with all ur video’s.. 🤗🥰.. but my big question please is :

Thank u in advance ..

God bless 🙌🏻🪬🧿💪🏻Be safe 💐
Hey there! 👋🏻 Thanks for following us from day one and for all the love! 🥰 We're super glad you're enjoying our videos and finding them helpful.
To answer your big question about finding and booking private drivers, here's the scoop:
At the Ports: Most ports have people offering private tours and taxi services right outside the terminal. There are usually tourist information booths and tour operator booths too.
Research: We do a lot of prep work for each port. We use Google and TH-cam to find information on car and driver services. It’s all about doing your homework and planning ahead.
Booking: We usually search for local car services online. Apps like Viator or even local ride-sharing apps can be helpful, but we often go with what we find through research.
Cost: The price can vary a lot-from $30 to $300 total. Sometimes we share the cost with another couple, which makes it more affordable. On average, we spend around $70.
Cash and Safety: We usually bring around $100 in small bills and try to pay in USD or by credit card.
We’re thrilled you enjoy our videos so much! We’ll try to make them longer to keep the fun going. 😅 Thanks again for all your support. God bless and stay safe!
Thank u so much 💐.. we love u .. 😍stay safe please
Very nice
Thanks
Question about Passport Stamps: Every country says to have "one blank page" for an Entry Stamp. I know on most cruises we usually don't get any stamps. How often do you actually get a stamp on the passport during this world cruise? Also, does the cruise ship keep your passports during the trip?
Wow what a visual shock to the system visiting Mumbai
A tragedy of how unbalanced the world is
Here is a billion $ cruise ship visiting a port where imagine how much good that $ would do
Life is unfair
Still thanks for sharing
This video was the most challenging we've ever produced, with many more scenes and stories that we ultimately didn't include. The complexities behind every issue are far greater than they appear. For instance, we observed a 24-story building where the first five floors were just parking for a luxury car collection, housing a family of five above. In the Taj Mahal, I was shocked to see a well-dressed woman carelessly throw a bottle on the ground near a bin. In India, only the lowest caste is expected to pick up trash; others consider themselves too elevated for such tasks. My husband and I, having grown up extremely poor and having built a life that supported hundreds of employees, aren't ashamed of enjoying an expensive cruise. While everyone on this cruise is fortunate, the poverty in India isn't our fault. Change is up to India and its people, but thankfully, we're witnessing many positive shifts.
Despite all the poverty to our standards everyone seems to be happy.....
You’re so right! You can be happy in the slums and miserable in a palace. It’s all a state of mind. It’s incredible to see the joy and resilience of people no matter their circumstances. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 😊
