We will next one. If we like this . We will email you next one
I was thinking about being a travel agent because I will be having some free time. What do I need to start that?
We are considering a trip for my family, so I just email you?
Wait did you guys go to Disney Cruise Line
Hey I don't see your roommate of Christmas
Man I wish I knew all that 2 months ago when I cruised with RC Oasis of the Seas, my woman got a 4 days as a surprise for less than $800, I thought it was a good deal but at check in we had to put a credit card on file for any expense we incur during the cruise, man short story I walked out at the end with a $700 charge, drinks and gratuity and the tips I gave the bartenders every time they made me a nice drink without realizing they are getting tipped already, but the worst experience was being forced to buy a 24 pack of water for $35, I still have PTSD from that😂🤣
One small tip I have is no matter how hot you think it is going to be, always bring a light shawl for your evening dress, and light sweater or zipper hoodie for early morning or at night out on deck or for your day on land. You never know when it will rain, and it can be chilly with cloud cover in the mornings. Even inside the ship can be a bit chilly with the air con.
Great tip-thank you for sharing.
Yep, the tropical weather don't happen until you get to the islands 🤣😂..lol so many think the local weather change after they board the ship...on with the swim wear In cold / chilly weather...lol.. 🤣😂.
Ain't nobody wearing an evening dress these days, trick.
@@bendover7386 that's quite telling...
I brought several of the $1 disposable rain ponchos and We needed them on several excursions.
You can change your gratuity amount also. You don’t have to settle for the amount they generate.
We learned a valuable lesson our first cruise in 2011 that I wish more people understood. We started in Galveston, and the port was fogged in to where we couldn't leave until the next morning. At that point there wasn't enough time to make the scheduled first stop in Jamaica, so they changed our itinerary from Jamaica/Grand Cayman/Cozumel to Grand Cayman/Cozumel/Progresso. The line at Guest Services of people who just wanted to complain about not going to Jamaica was insane! Our lesson was, don't get too attached to specific stops on your cruise, because they can change due to forces beyond the cruise line's control.
oh wow, yes and they cover themselves in the fine print.
Progresso Florida?
@@ConcietedMuchXD Progresso Mexico.
@@LifeWithUsTV And if they can’t make a specific port, Carnival will just give you Sea Credit per passenger and you have extra day at sea. Our credit was $50, we missed Cozumel. All cruise lines can nickel and dime you if you are not careful. We prefer all inclusive now.
I couldn't find the information on the travel agency....I'm looking
With all the bad news we see on television, you two are truly a breath of fresh air. Even if a person has no desire to take a cruise, I recommend your videos just to lift their spirit. Truly enjoyed you two. Thanks for the smiles and laughs.
aww thank you
@@LifeWithUsTV I agree with her a breath of fresh air ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Take a carry on bag with things you may need for the next few hours like sunblock, swim wear, etc. because your luggage may get to your cabins into the evening hours.
you can always talk to your doctor about scopolomine patches, they last about 3 days, and prevent sea sickness, instead of using CVS brand motion sickness pills.
Benadryl will suffice per my doctor. It definitely did the job.
@@godislove9273 I forgot I posted this, man... after coming back from that cruise with those patches I got vertigo really bad for 3 months... I'm not sure if it was the patches or old age... but it sucked.
Balcony is the only way to go, such as (Deck 9 center of ship) !
One other tip is, I know it isn't always economically feasible for everyone but the money for a room with a window is extremely well worth it. I stayed in a windowless cabin and although it was nice I felt boxed in. Also for souvenirs look at the itinerary for sale spots like the 15$ sales. Remember you can always walk away if a price is too much and Remember the drink waiters are offering as if they are free are NOT free sadly. Friend took a birthday shot because the guy acted like it was free. He was mad, I paid for it for him but he learned.
We are going on our first cruise, so I started looking for resources to help get an idea of what to expect. I stumbled on your channel and spent a whole off day watching your episodes! You guys aren't just a wealth of information, you're hilarious! Thank you for what you do... I'll be watching y'all several times before embarkation day in December!
Aww glad to help
Yep that's what I'm doing now, hopefully 1st Cruise in Oct
My first cruise I didn't spend on anything but the gratuities
My 1st time cruising mistake was paying too much, due to a travel buddy wanting a balcony room. I could have stayed in a cheaper room because I was hardly in it!
You mentioned not rushing onto the ship, cuz youre room probably wont be ready, and thats a big one. I would add to that one tip for first time Carnies: dont be confused by the big doors they close the cabin hallways with! We booked a premium suite, and they kept telling us, yeah it should be ready right when you get on (they boarded us FIRST) We got on, and went straight to our deck to check, only to find these huge doors closing off the cabin hallways, with giant signs saying: cleaning in progress, please do not enter. These doors confused EVERYONE. We finally got tired of waiting, and just went in to find our cabin. When we found it, it had been clean and ready for over an HOUR🤦 The ice in the champagne bucket was melted, thats how we know. Guys, dont let the giant doors confuse you, just go in and find your cabin, it might be ready, they wont tell you. They wont open the big hallway doors until ALL the cabins in that particular hallway are done.
Same thing happened to us. We fell asleep at the table in the buffet.. no one say a word
Thank God my cousin had been on multiple cruises before the family’s first trip together. She schooled to everything you guys covered. Pre buy your water, use your phone for pictures, eat in the dining room because you paid for it, pack light, get wifi package, tip at the end of the cruise.
Yayyyy, that’s wassup
Im sorry, maybe I missed this part, why is the "pay tips at the end of your cruise" for? Please and thank you!
ESPECIALLY PACK LIGHT!!!! My first time i literally had palazo pants and tshits... best thing ever 😆
So why pay tips at the end and how do you do that ? Since they want us to pay $250.00 ahead of time .
@@jeramygrajiola1544 it’s been a while since my initial cruise, I remember her saying that the cruise line splits the money between all the workers. I just remember following her to the desk and repeating what she said. I tipped the individuals who made sure my dinner was served, bags were brought to the room and taken down and cleaned the room. I can say that each time I went on a cruise that’s what I’ve always done.
I’m not sure how things are now after covid because I haven’t gone on a cruise.
I took my first cruise a few weeks ago and I saved a lot of money by following your advice. THANKS
My wife is going on her very 1st cruise on December 18, 2023 in Galveston. This will be my 3rd, but I'm learning so much. We will be prepared. God Bless you both.
Word to all: No matter whether or not you think you "can handle" the sun- the Caribbean sunshine is beautiful and addictive. You WILL need to reapply a high quality sunscreen frequently to protect your skin and keep from becoming half-baked. Early in the cruise lots of folks are relaxing on lounge chairs and often get lost in the moment-sometimes falling asleep by a pool or while listening to music, sometimes with a little alcohol in their system to boot. By day three they are miserable from the burn. Take aloe vera or something similar in anticipation, and if you run out of reef-friendly sunscreen the ship will have it for sale. I have more than one cruise memory photo with all of us visibly sunburned. My husband has darker skin than do I and he also has to be careful so protect yourself. Hats that won't fly off in the wind and shades are your friends.
I co-sign this message ✔️
I picked up a cabin on the front of the ship on purpose, in the 2nd lowest deck. I wanted to feel the ship and wasn't disappointed. If motion bothers you, center cabin, highest deck you can afford. Also, wear a bathing suit on embarkation day. That way you can enjoy the pools while everyone else is walking around, getting to know the ship.
Thank you for this 💙
Great info!!!! Thank you so much!
My friends and I are planning our first cruise for July and I love the advice so much!!
Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge. I’ve been on 9 cruises, but love to watch videos like yours to see other perspectives and learn some things I may not have experienced.

This is great information. Thank you for sharing!

OMG I enjoyed this video so much 😭
I was lucky, my 1st Cruise I had a cousin that worked for Carnival. So I knew about all of these things you guys mentioned especially the gratuity!
I'm loving the cruise tips!!
Thank you
Thanks King and Queen this was so helpful
Great video!
I literally just made a group for Carnival and yall just saved me from making a few mistakes! I'm so glad i stumbled across yall!!!
We just got off our first cruise, thankfully we had friends who had already been on one and showed us around and the do’s and don’ts. But we spent a bit on photos lol, however they are already framed and ready to be hung on the wall hahaha. It was a great experience and are planning our next trip! Also we chose the middle of the ship on deck 7, perfect spot for us!
Thanks guys for such a informative video. 😁
Love the energy ❤
I've planned two cruises for me and three to four other people twice and done one cruise through a travel agent. The travel agent experience was so frustrating because I didn't feel in control of anything, didn't have access to things, and had to go through another person when I could just do it myself. I could see the benefit though if you aren't good with research or used to planning.
Our first every cruise is on the carnival Valor on the 26th. We've got 2 excursions booked, Bubblies for the kids and are so stupid excited. I really appreciate y'all and these videos.
Y’all are funny!! Thanks for the info and queen I love your hair!!
Yo I love y'all s energy it's great
A Travel agent really is the key to working through all of this!
Best video about the first time do's and don'ts for cruise ship vacations. I love your energy! You guys had me laughing with your stories! By the way, my friends are trying to get me to go on my first ever cruise in about 6 months. I'm not sure yet, but might have to consider after watching your video. Thanks!
This was a greaaattttt video thank you!
I wanna know the First Cruise deets! We were good and green and country/project-ish on ours. Great tips!!
🤗I absolutely love your content! Hubby & I just booked our very first cruise, it'll be a 7-day in Aug '23. So excited, nervous & definitely overwhelmed, but you guys provide such good info.. Im sure we'll be well prepared before we sail... Thank you🙌🏾🥰🛟
You two are so fun and awesome! Thanks for all of the information.
Thank you guys for all you do. This video is another informative one,
Thanks for these tips ! First family Cruise this April! I've been watching all of your videos and you both are so helpful ☺️
Thank you
I just found out on TH-cam because I was trying to research how I'm going to pack my soda cuz we're flying in to Miami out of Dallas because I don't want to leave the airport to go get soda and come back and catch the bus but like you did on your first cruise we did the same thing we didn't book no excursions we just walked around the port and got back on the boat because we didn't see the videos about people getting left and also I just booked my water for for our cruise in Feb 2024 it is $12
Love the video
You guys are goals. I just see real love through you guys !
This is so helpful! I'm planning my first carnival cruise in September, I'll definitely keep these things in mind
Or hire me 👌🏾
You guys are so relatable! I’ve been watching a bunch of videos looking into cruises. Not being super financially secure and sharing your experience is super helpful thank you!
🥰
great tips and you two are so funny!
You two are a hoot. Thank you.
Even tho I had a travel agent I still researched for at least 6 months out. I joined all the groups I could. I also used GOOGLE to no end. So my family's 1st cruise (2011) was great! We haven't stop since. I have been able to convince friends and family to cruise as well.
My first cruise is coming up in May . I’m so excited and these videos are definitely coming in handy
What cruise are you attending ? I am trying to go as well
Cute couple! Loved the presentation and tips! Thank you.
Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know either, thanks you for info.
I’m going on my first cruise in May and your videos has been so helpful and funny 🤣
So glad!
Love them. They're so transparent and real with their videos. Keep the cruise videos coming. And yes! I want to hear about your experience.
Thank you Tessa
My 1st cruise Thanks for this information!
I glad that I click on to this. Thanks 4 the info. Now I know what to do when I plan to go on a cruise.
Great tips. You can buy a lot of that stuff on the boat but it’s much more expensive. I’ve got my 6th cruise coming up and am a lot older than my prior ones. I’ve been to the countries before so this time, except maybe stepping off the boat in Cozumel for some shopping (everything is right there off the pier) I’m staying on the boat to enjoy the less crowded time while others explore, though going to the beach is tempting.
I would like to hear the story of your first Carnival Cruise
My first cruise was. RC 4 day. There were 4 of us in an interior cabin, on probably the second deck, at the front of the ship. When ever the ship set sail, or docked we knew. We had an absolute ball. We didn't know any better. 😁
I looooooved watching this!!! That’s you for all the resourceful info. You guys are hilarious ❤😂
You guys have great chemistry. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the information.
We just did it our self. We reach everything to bring and what cabin to book
I swear this my second video watching of y'all. I love the chemistry and just love the videos you all have. Me and my husband going on our first cruise in August and we are so excited. Thanks for these videos!
Thank you so much!!
Danke!
Y’all are such a beautiful couple! Great vid! I can definitely relate to a lot of those 1st timer warnings lol!
