Happy holidays, Stuart

Great video for 1st time cruisers!

Got you

Great Video!

Here to watch your playlist ❤❤❤❤

Wow. Great Info for newbies to cruising! New Friend Here!

This is an interesting introduction to your content. Keep up the good work you've been doing here. Looking forward to much more from you.

New to the channel and here to support ❤

Cruising is certainly not the luxury holiday experience it once was......sadly, expensive disappointment is usually a given these days........and freeloading social-media shills are part of the problem

item 9. I am pretty sure I am of the age where drinking is required on the ship.

elevators? 5 minutes? I'd take the stairs or go to the bar on that floor for an hour. or two.

I'd be all about the sun lounger in the shade, away from the screaming kids and such.

I'm subscribed to the channel but it doesn't come up in my feed...

I just heard Disney is planning on expanding their fleet to 13 ships from 6...or whatever...sounds like a big deal!

That is a great shirt. I wish I had an office on the beach like that!

I wish "dissable elevators" was a thing like you could register before hand that you have some type of mobility aid/dissabilty that means you CAN´T use the stairs or stand for long periods of time but not nessecary need an accessable cabin(or it might be that you have booked one). so that there was a "privat elevator/elevators" for those who have filled out paperwork about their dissabillity and how it affects them not being able to take the stairs.

Cruising sounds like a nightmare.

I live on benifits in Sweden so I will NEVER be able to afford a cruise, so I live vicuriously through cruisetube.

I hate embarkations! The 2 times i sailed on NCL it was a 2 and 3 hour wait, respectively, then you get hit with the dreaded muster drill....and disembarkation wasn't much better. Sailed once on MSC with priority boarding and that makes a world of differrence!!

A good first-timers guide to set expectations

Great tips! We do the same thing at the buffet except cutting in line and sneezing on the food. I’m glad cruise lines are cracking down on chair hogs around the lido deck! Embarkation and Debarkation are definitely the busiest! Thanks for sharing!

We are already booked for an MSC cruise out of Galveston in 2026. Any idea when MSC will open booking for 2027?

Is the food and drinks safe to drink? Montezuma's revenge?

Good evening

Your content is really good but you didn't get proper audience views and subscribe because of your lack of proper SEO. I can do SEO and promotion for you with a video for free. If the result is good, we will discuss it later. If you agree?

Watching the replay

Thank you for doing the walk around! I’m staying post-cruise and this was very helpful!

It's Juneau, not Junea, for heavens sake!

Imagine what the whales are thinking as they jump out of the water.... "Hey...look at what I see on the surface....A HUGE fish swimming along, with tiny bugs on the skin."

Hi, Stuart! Alaska is beautiful! Thanks for your honest take on the food. Glad you let them know about your disappointment with the food. Otherwise, they won’t know to improve anything. Looking forward to your next vlog. Emmy

Absolutely beautiful! Someday I will have to take an Alaskan cruise. Great tour and video!

My biggest fear is losing my luggage right before a cruise. I booked my 1st cruise last month but I booked a direct flight and had no issues. After watching KZbin videos, I was prepared with a change of clothes in my carry on.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago on the Celebrity Beyond. My luggage was sent to Cozumel by United for my first port to be picked up and brought back to the ship. For some unknown reason, Celebrity sent it back and i didn't get it until i returned to the Fort Lauderdale airport. I will NEVER check luggage again. Carry-on only

Were your flights scheduled through Carnival or did you make the arrangements yourself? I am going to San Fran next week for an 11 day cruise to Alaska. I had Carnival book my plane reservations. So far, no problems.

That’s why I always pack a change of clothes and a bathing suit in my carry on.

American airline canceled our flight to Philadelphia. They moved us to another flight but was 15 minutes late to get to a flight to Venice We tried to get to the next port of call and bought clothes as our luggage were delayed. We file by French airline after 6 hours lay over telling them that we need our luggage but American airline keep on pointing to Delta to reimburse us for the cost but no one paid

I've packed most if my clothes in a carry-on since my luggage was lost in the 70's. It was on our homeward journey, so it no big deal.

We were just on B2B on the Liberty on the 14th and 21st of July. We have taken 23 cruises on Carnival and how they treated you is not a surprise at all. When we may have had a problem they would bend over backwards to do whatever was required. Glad you had a great time and Dunn's River Falls was enjoyable.

Oh, Stuart - how terrible! I was on a Viking ocean cruise, and my luggage didn’t show up, even though I saw my suitcase at their terminal before we embarked. When I informed customer service, they very kindly offered me to choose from a selection of clothes they had available for such a problem. Fortunately, as this was the first day of the cruise, at almost midnight, we had a knock on our door, and there was my luggage. Apparently, since this was Super Bowl Sunday, and Viking showed it on their ship, some passenger mistakenly got my suitcase in his room and didn’t notice it until after the game when he finally went back to his room. He called customer service, who retrieved my suitcase and brought it to my cabin. 😅 Now we make sure to carry AirTags in each suitcase. You should use them next time. It might have found your luggage faster. Emmy

totally unrelated: I bought then cancelled a cruise, and was told it would take 'a fe3w months' to get my deposit back...then I forgot about it, sorta, and a year later I checked and I still haven't received it ( thought it might have just been deposited into may ccount and I missed the email). Now I'm trying to follow up... This was thru Expedia.

I’ll be in an oceanview cabin on deck one on the Noordam next summer to Alaska.

Hi, Stuart. Never brought a duck, nor found one. Maybe next cruise !

20 is plenty. We generally take 2-3 per person per day to hide. Anymore than that it seems like a chore to hide.

We love hiding ducks and love when the crew find them and get excited!

Thanks fir the news. I don't mind the ducks and most crew members seem to like them too!

Ducks we decided not to hide them on our next cruise

Nice nature background

Good advice, Stuart! Emmy
