I lost a diamond tennis bracelet at the water park at Atlantis! Had taken it off to ride and tucked it away in a waterproof case with my money and room key....bracelet showed up - money and room key never did.....same trip left my camera in a cab!!! 😖 SO glad you all found your stuff! 😁
@@parodeejay it was crazy! Have a FANTASTIC time on your upcoming cruise! It’s so wonderful that you’re getting to go again so soon - looking forward to your vlogs! Enjoy!!! 😊🏖
Oh my word! You both must have freaked out when you realized the ship cards and IDs were missing! You almost became residents of Freeport! Thanks for sharing your lesson...so glad they were found!
I'm so happy to see you guys had fun! I'm a long-time viewer from Freeport and yes our island is not the most fun (hurricanes just keep doing what they do) but I'm happy to see that you guys did at least enjoyed yourselves because you could have stayed on the ship like many others do but you did not. You came, had fun and gave us a good promotion as well. When I did remember to go see the ship from the beach you guys were almost over the horizon headed south to Nassau. Hopefully the next time you guys come back things will be much better and much more fun. RCL and Carnival have committed to some investments on the island.
Thanks so much for your comment! We’ve had many a fun day around Freeport over the years, from snorkeling at Deadman’s Reef to spending a day at Bahamas Adventures or Lighthouse Pointe. We’re excited to see what develops with the cruise line investments in the future!! :D
Luckily it was the ship excursion that the ship waited for you all. Glad you guys made it back to the ship. Just found your channel. Loved your videos. And, yes, we ordered the water float. Can't wait to use it.
Wow that is so scary. That reminds me of when I thought I lost my shore excursion tickets and my ID cards right before an expensive excursion I booked in Belize.... But worse. I really appreciated the videos you made about this Cruise.
I loved the Grandeur. Just the right size for me. Traveling alone is not fun when you are old and have to walk three miles for breakfast and by the time you get back, you are hungry again. LOL plus being older now, the walking takes a bit longer. Just saw another Jordan video of their opening night and then the beach where they were having a blast. Catch up with you two later.
Jay, when I tell you I had to rewind this part at 2:30 four times! You had dying laughing with the sound & what the buzzer would say! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Whooo im glad y’all made it back in enough time. I hate Dee couldn’t snorkel like that. Mannnn Im super happy y’all found your cards! Thanks for sharing! ♥️
Definitely handy to have! My old ones started leaking after a while, and I ordered some new ones that were way too big, hah... I still need to get a good replacement. :P
OMG glad everything turned out ok! We visited that same beach and Terry lost his phone! It looked like you had a great time. We heard from Griff and Alyssa that you will be on the Carnival Horizon as well on July 10. We hope to meet you onboard.
Just wanted you to know, I was watching a vlog from a 2018 adventure on the Carnival Legend. It wasnt your vlog, but you were there. Wow, the ship is coming to Baltimore. Thinking about cruising from there since it's close to home.
We didn't have any trouble understanding him when we were on the bus, but it's funny... when Dee was watching the edit back, she said the same thing. Harder to understand on video, hah... weird!! :P
“No pier running today.” Glad you were not those people! Would you recommend that excursion? Fortunately, your ship cards and IDs were found. Thanks for taking us along.
We aren't about to be famous for the wrong reason, ha ha... running down that pier!! :P The excursion was about the best thing we saw in Freeport, and it was decent. $40 a head for transport to and from the beach, not terrible, ha ha... just wish the weather was better!! :P
It wasn’t the same place we were used to going in Freeport that was pictured on Royal’s website. Still a decent simple beach day, but the weather could have been better, hah. If we had it to do again, we might very well choose something else also. :P
What's the name of the thing you said we should put our ship cards in?? How scary this happened!! Dee you should have played in the casino this day because you were one LUCKY lady to find your cards and ID in the OCEAN!!! WOW 👏
Haaah, I just call it a "neck pouch" because it has a ribbon that you can wear it around your neck. Something like this unit: www.amazon.com/dp/B00LBK7OSY/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=parodeejay07-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=8f76728a5c91fe81e9db9bf639fa60fe&creativeASIN=B00LBK7OSY
@@parodeejay oh OK. I do have one of those. It's in my bag already. I'm just a few days away from my turn on Adventure of the Seas!! July 3rd sailing!! I wish you guys were on the celebrity cruise. I want to see a good vlog about that one. EECC travels is on there so I'm hoping they put out some good stuff. I haven't done celebrity yet. I've been hesitant because I wasn't sure if it would be too boring. I know it costs more so I really want to see/ know that there is real value added for going on the ship/cruise line. Imo the food and entertainment better be A LOT better than Royal for me to justify the sticker price of that cruise.
Losing my I.D. on vacation is a huge fear of mine. I've been looking at a waterproof fanny pack, but I have this nightmare about accidentally unclipping the strap and losing it in the ocean! OCD setting in! lol.
Did you book your Freeport excursion via royal? I’m stuck with my kiddo that’s too young for vaccinations, so we’re limited to royal excursions and the only ones I saw leave at like 7:30 am which is too early for vacation me.
We use a little travel safe that fits in a backpack, which we have in our Amazon store. But I know a lot of people use all sorts of different devices to try to stay safe. I just usually always keep the IDs and ship cards with me, but I need to secure them a little better in the future!! :P
I haven't seen any on these type of transport buses. Fortunately, you're only on there for about a half hour most times, riding to a tour destination!! :D
Great video and perfect timing! We’re on Adventure this Saturday and will be in Freeport on Sunday. One of our kids is too young to be vaccinated so Royal is now saying we can only do ship excursions so we booked this one. Not many other options but do you think it’s worth it?
That's awesome! Yes, they're starting to put more and more restrictions on even since we sailed, it looks like. A lot of people chose to not even get off in Freeport, but we figure any time at a beach is a good time, ha ha... not much in the way of snorkeling when we were there, and it was $40/pp to just go to the beach, and $80/pp for the food & drink option, but we're still glad we checked it out!! :D
@@parodeejay Thanks! Ours is $54/person (entrance only) for our family of four. We were able to book a package that lowered the cost to about $25/person. While we’d rather book something third party, we’ll just make the most out of this if it’s our only option. Royal hasn’t even told us what the policy is yet, we’re just assuming it applies to us too. It’s frustrating but we’re just pumped to be cruising again, and you can’t beat two days at CocoCay! (rhymes with “Perfect Day”) 😜
@@parodeejay I have a question. I'm disabled and I was wondering if is it a good time to travel or wait to the end of the year to see how things are then with the virus?
The only actual restrictions I've seen recently regarding any sort of medical conditions at all is that you can't being oxygen onto ships right now, I believe... so it just depends on how comfortable you may be traveling and being in public spaces in *hopefully* not too crowded environments. I'm thinking that ships will actually be less crowded now at the start, and then slowly get more and more busy as time goes on and people get more comfortable with the idea, so we're enjoying traveling now during the quieter times!! :P
Once we got to the beach, the masks were optional unless we got up and walked around, like to the bar. Not terrible, but that was the local protocol. We almost ended up living in Freeport though, hah... so glad we found our cards and such!! :P
As far as I know, the ship could have verified our identity with the security photos on file and let us back onboard. We had passports in our cabin, so we would have been able to get back home. So just a lot of annoyance, but we would have technically been okay.
It’s a local Bahamas law, so we just went with the flow. We could have stayed onboard but we usually like to hop off and support tourism when we can!! :P
I love meeting the people you guys show on here, just got off Mardi Gras, and all the TH-cam famous cast members said yinz were the sweetest people!
I love it! “Hit that bell and subscribe here”. The best! Hope you all had a blast!
Thanks so much! We were so excited to get back on a ship that we've decided to do it again on a different ship next week!! :D
LOL oh my on that bus window! Looking back over your vlogs for the Bahamas. We just booked Carnival Dream for Mar 2023.
I lost a diamond tennis bracelet at the water park at Atlantis! Had taken it off to ride and tucked it away in a waterproof case with my money and room key....bracelet showed up - money and room key never did.....same trip left my camera in a cab!!! 😖 SO glad you all found your stuff! 😁
Oh wow, that's crazy! Glad to hear you got the bracelet back, but holy moly!!

Even with Restrictions we are green with envy but happy for you and Jay :)
The lost ship cards and IDs made me want to pass out. Glad you found them!
Again, thank you for the positivity in the midst of potential chaos. Y'all are my kind of cruisers...finding the joy over blips. ❤
Thanks so much!! :P
Oh my word! You both must have freaked out when you realized the ship cards and IDs were missing! You almost became residents of Freeport! Thanks for sharing your lesson...so glad they were found!
We might have enjoyed becoming Bahamian residents, hah... that was a bit of a scare though!! :P
OMG my heart stopped when you said you lost the cards...WOW that is amazing that you found them!!!
That was a dang miracle for sure! Thanks to our team of dedicated divers, ha ha... whew!! :P
We have loved all y’all’s vlogs 🚢🚢
Thanks so much!! :D
We have been on the beach tour. Had a great time. Been to Freeport 4 times & I really like it! Hope you enjoyed your day!
That water hammock looks like so much fun!!!
It really is! Ocean, pool, all over the place, ha ha... best Amazon find yet!! :P
Definately have heard of the Poconos..... I live here! 😉
So glad all identity and ship cards were recovered. Nice excursion.
Close call, ha ha... but everything turned out well!! :P
whoa ! never been to Pirates Beach Cove!
We thought we were headed to Bahamas Adventures Beach Club, looking at the photos on Royal's website, but they surprised us, ha ha... oops!! :P

Oh yikes, that's scary too! Sounds like it worked out okay though... whew!!
What a beautiful Island. That sand looks powder soft. Going to the Bahamas in a few years with Carnival. As usual great video guys.
The Bahamas are beautiful, that's for sure!! :D

Love Freeport, but you have too get too the fishing village. It reminds me of the Ports o call in San Pedro Ca
Fishing village? Cool! We've done some wandering around Freeport but I don't think we've made it there yet!! :D
Looked like a fun day! So glad you found your IDs!

Funny! It might have been a Life With Favor vlog, as we were traveling with them. We saw ourselves quite a few times in their vlogs on that trip!! :D
@@parodeejay It was.
Bummer the water was cloudy. Fun day anyway. I understand about 3 words the driver was saying. 😂

I give up is Jay southern Alabama or Mississippi
I'll just claim the whole south as home, ha ha... :P ~Jay
You guys are getting closer to 20k each day. I would have freaked out if I lost cards and I’d in ocean. Do you recommend and lockable beach bags?

Dee I love your swim suit
Thanks so much!! :D
To be continued cliffhanger 😂 Were you late or on time? I’ll be traveling solo, so I have to do cruise ship excursions for peace of mind.
We made it back to the ship just in time, ha ha... but then we didn't even sail away until after dinner time... funny!! :P
I miss seeing Laura and her husband 🥰
