Thanks for your video - I enjoyed it. We're booked on the August 23 crossing from NYC to Southampton. If you have time, I'd appreciate it if you'd share what the weather was like on the crossing. And did you find the different venues on the ship to be too warm, too cold, or just right? (Working on my packing list!) Thanks - I am looking forward to more of your videos.
@SheSailsAway Күн бұрын
I hope you enjoy your upcoming cruise. As for weather on our cruise, we had a mix. We had two solid days of fog and drizzle, one day of gray weather, a few days of beautiful, spectacular weather. As far as temperatures in the venues, I was always very comfortable. My mother was usually quite chilled in the theater. We found the lounges and the dining room to be very comfortable, though. Always pays to bring a lightweight sweater with you! If you are someone who likes to sit out on the deck and watch the ocean roll by, even though it's August, you may want to bring a heavy sweatshirt. When you're flying across the ocean at fast speeds, that wind can be quite cold! Thank you so much for watching!

You might want to mention that making calls from the ship is generally not covered by international calling plans. There are no cell towers at see. The only link is satellite, and that is super expensive. The solution is by a wifi package and use wifi calling on your phone. That also includes texting back home. In that vein, be sure to ALWAYS put your phone in airplane mode before leaving the port. If not, your phone continues looking for a connection, and your roaming charges, even if you don't make a call, can be hundreds of dollars. Also, unless you are driving to the port a couple hours or so from your home, always fly in a minimum of 1 day early

Great video! We’ve sailed Harmony of the Seas and currently deciding between Oasis and Symphony but for different reasons. Oasis goes to Aruba and Curaçao, which we’ve never been to and have always wanted to go to. But symphony is newer and goes to places we’ve been before. Having done BOTH, would you choose the ISLANDS you want or the SHIP you want? Can’t have both and that’s where we’re at 🙂. Would love your opinion as someone who’s sailed both (and leans toward Symphony). Thanks!
@SheSailsAway Ай бұрын
That's a tough choice! I loved Aruba and Curaçao and would like to go again. But I would still choose Symphony. There's always the very small chance of a port cancellation or bad weather on your port day, and with a cruise costing as much as it does, I would pick the ship that will deliver great entertainment, good food, and beautiful accommodations all week long. I most definitely enjoyed the food and entertainment on Symphony more than Oasis, and found the ship overall to feel more luxurious and special. Aruba was fun to see--you can't go wrong with either choice--but for quality ship-time, shows, and beautiful surroundings, I would go with Symphony!

@makingmedicaresimple i'm not sure it's appropriate for me to answer that because I didn't take any teens with me. I don't know much about the team clubs or what's offered for teens actually. But there's a lot to do on the ship for everybody, including zip lining, Flowrider, swimming, all of that

We recently returned on a cruise land package that started in Fairbanks and ended in Vancouver. Everyone on the ship was sick and as a result we all got sick. The food for evening meals is inconsistent at best. We had loud noise in our room from the theater every evening and on rehearsal days. Also had problems with our room Steward and a clogged toilet. Have been on many cruises and this was one of the most unpleasant experiences. I don't know if it was just bad luck, but will probably never book a princess cruise again. Simply way too many issues. We're expecting more.
