Y'all, I'm trying to keep from laughing but y'all crack me up!! When you made the chainsaw noise cutting the steaks, etc.... SO funny!! However, I feel SO badly for y'all!! I can tell y'all work hard and it's such a letdown to be disappointed on vacation!! Kudos to both of you for having such great attitudes!! It's so great y'all have fun together, even under disappointing circumstances!! God bless y'all!! I hope it gets better!!! 🥴. ❤
Glad we could make you laugh! It is disappointing when trips don't pan out as you thought they would but it's also part of the fun! Staci and I find ways to have fun no matter what even in disappointing circumstances. 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is super helpful considering we are thinking about going on a cruise for the first time and considering carnival. The embarkment, disembarkment, security and pass ports make me nervous.
Those parts were actually pretty smooth for us. We bought the fast to the fun pass, which was totally worth it. You get to bypass the lines during embarkations and debark, made thing less stressful. Thanks for watching, Christine!
I watched it all before I committed. I really felt bad for the not so good experience you were having in this part 1. But in the end, when you both were relaxing in sitting around and laughing and enjoying being together. Was great. You made the best of day 1. 😊
Embarkation day can be chaotic but for first time cruisers, you did great. The pizza, shrimp and sushi looks like winner food items from the Lido deck but overall, the buffet looks like a miss not a hit. Except for breakfast, I usually avoid the buffet. Cool how the ship has a retractable roof. The Indian option in the dining room looked good and so did the steak and the shrimp. Nice entertainment. Glad you had a good first day.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Steven! Overall, the buffet really was a miss but perhaps others felt different. We had a nice time but the food really disappointed us. Oh well...we still had a blast. Thanks for everything, hope your weekend is off to a great start!
@@RaysontheRoad saw that, I love it too.Sliced super thin yum it’s nearly impossible to find the one with black pepper and pistachio here. Was there something wrong with the AC or is that just the ship, I would have been furious. Sorry you had to deal with that but glad you were able to deal and enjoy yourselves.
Not sure if it's normal for a ship to be that hot or not. Packing fans is definitely recommended! The theater was always freezing but the rest was hot.
I love your video and after watching this whatever regrets I ever had of not taking a cruise have totally vanished it looks like a terrible waste of money to be miserable
Wow it seemed smoother for you two. It seemed to take forever for us to board our ship. Plus no air condition, the way to board the ship was super hot and open and lots of twist and turns and lots of hills
Oh my lanta no you did not spit that out into your roll. I busted up laughing. Mom said before you spit it out, she said she is looking to where she can spit it out at. That was super funny. Yep the food not super great on the ship.
We bought the faster to the fun pass, which was totally worth it. You get to skip the line for embarkation and debarkation, which made it much smoother. There was a HUGE line, but we got to walk right by....I felt a little guilty, lol. That duck roll thing was honestly one of the grossest things I have every tasted. I was expecting something like a spring roll....definitely not! I wish the camera could have shown Matt's face when I spit it out, hahaha! Thanks for watching!
If I were that guy at 1:17:23, I definitely would have told you to put the camera down. It's pretty rude to do that to someone on their vacation, especially when they’re stuck at a table and forced to eat next to strangers.
The people we ate with were actually extremely nice and didn't mind. We had a great time chatting and getting to know them. But, I guess haters gotta hate. Have a nice day!
If the guy at the table had a problem with Matt and Staci he would have said something. Did you not hear the guy when he was done and leaving the table. He told Matt and Staci to have fun and see you later. So stop hating.
Glad you loved the video. Sorry, our use of animations fell short of your expectations. Which ones in particular did you feel should have been omitted? We loved the ship, too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I've always wondered what a cruise would be like, thanks for letting us see your experience! Most of the cruises I've seen on TH-cam are those highfalutin ones that look absolutely perfect, so this puts it in perspective.

18:36 mark between the potatoes and the salami I spotted the mortadella and it looked like it had pistachios, the good stuff
Matt had some later on and loved it. That's one of his favorites!

@@RaysontheRoad 👍thx, definite learning curve for next cruise
👍 hope you are having a great weekend.
I love cruising! The embarking day chaos is daunting !
I didn't really know what to expect but daunting is definitely the right word! It was so stressful! Thanks for watching!
I love your video and after watching this whatever regrets I ever had of not taking a cruise have totally vanished it looks like a terrible waste of money to be miserable
I won't lie, the first day had some bumps in the road. But stay tuned to see how it all turned out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pretty good first day
Yes, it wasn't bad. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you're having fun
Thanks, Martha! It was blast!
Food looks yummy
Most of it was pretty good! Thanks for watching, Martha!
But wait..... how much mustard do they give you at the mustard station? 😃
I'm enjoying the cruise series!
Thanks for bringing us along! 💜
Thanks! Matt is a nut, lol! Hope you're having a great day!
The first day is always like that it will calm down, believe me
You are right the first day was the worst. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Your good sports, I’d have needed to be air lifted off the ship …can not tolerate heat 😭
That was probably the worst thing about the whole cruise, really. It was just so hot...and I (staci) am not a fan of the heat. Thanks for watching!
Any problem with motiion sickness?
A little. But I took Dramamine and wore those sea band bracelets and it was okay. Thanks for watching!
THE LOVE BOAT ! ❤️🛳

@@RaysontheRoad That's why I said if I were that guy. It's rude to film people no matter what you try to say.
Thanks for the input. Have a nice day!

@NobodyWitches 👍
Love the video. I could do without the added animations so often. I just sailed Glory a year ago and loved her.
Glad you loved the video. Sorry, our use of animations fell short of your expectations. Which ones in particular did you feel should have been omitted? We loved the ship, too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
there's nothing more I would like to take a cruise wait in lines and have the food taste like crap and spend big money not for me
It got better. Overall, we really had a nice time....but Day 1 was a bit of a shock for us. Thanks for watching!
I've always wondered what a cruise would be like, thanks for letting us see your experience! Most of the cruises I've seen on TH-cam are those highfalutin ones that look absolutely perfect, so this puts it in perspective.
Thanks for watching! We would love to try some of the new fancy ships someday but they are soooo pricey! Hope you're having a great day!
Not all are the same this one in particular is a budget cruise carnival has more upscale ones as well then you have royal Caribbean which I love
Thanks for the info!
The first day is always like that it will calm down, believe me
