Kevin, are you still getting free or discounted room rates from casino credit? I wonder if that's easy or you're just lucky. Well your cruises sound fun so enjoy! I plan on taking my first cruise to the Carribean out of Galveston this year and hope to find a good deal on CruisePlum (thanks for the tip).

Can you get your passport stamped in Costa Rico

Norovirus is food contaminated with poop. Now google why in Asia one hand is considered clean to eat but the other hand is considered dirty. Same reason they don't shake hands. Who works in the kitchen ? Not that little kid ...

Currently in Bangkok. Hopping on Island Princess mid February. 🚢🛳️⛴️

It looks like paradise.

Is that shrimp in your pants or are you happy to see me? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not today. Kind of looks like the same place but it was super crowded with locals. They say there’s a festival starting today. I got bad vibes everywhere. We weren’t harassed or anything but the people acted like Americans weren’t welcome. We walked into a really nice looking coffee shop about 2 in the afternoon and a lady came in after us and said they were closed? It looked like only local people there and the sign said open. We got weird looks? We walked into several shops and were completely ignored. Felt strange. We needed a few things from a drug store we couldn’t get on the ship. Walgreens had line around the block outside. We found what we needed but the pharmacy was packed as well and took about an hour. Today this is not the same island that this guy is promoting. At least the weather was great. We travel quite a bit and lately by cruise ship. This place felt strange to us. I’m glad we didn’t invest more time or an excursion here. I wish it would have been like this video. Hopefully the other islands we are supposed to stop at in the Virgin Islands will be better.

LOVE THE LITTLE AIRSTREAM!!!!!!!

You don't mention that you get inside cabins..Not ideal accommodations. I gain weight on ships just finished Miami- California via canal Have fun

Spending a snowy day working from home listening to your live. If I can swing it, I am looking at a cruise in the fall. I want and need some more relaxation! The last 6 months have been rough. Great information as always. Safe travels home!

This is the problem with Villa Vie. The cost doesn’t really make sense. The issue is the monthly fee. Why should people in outside cabins pay so much more than an inside when you’ve already paid for the cabin. The monthly expenses of someone in an outside should be the same as the inside. BUT, I think their biggest problem right now is the risk of going bankrupt. They can’t get enough cabins sold (probably because of the risk) and as long as cabins remain empty, the risk of going bankrupt increases. They should be doing anything they can to get cabins full on segments and then get their balance sheet in order, reducing the risk of going bankrupt.

N, my dog and birds are not welcome

Beautiful but too high

Hungarian here. I agree! I was about to comment on the beer clinking thing, but you actually had it all correct. The pronouncing of Budapest: of course we prefer Budapesht, but we know it's not a well-known thing so we don´t mind. Don't ever confuse Budapest with Bucharest though, that's a big faux pas.

Again, I have been following you since 2019. I love your content as it takes me away from my job and provides great ideas. You are a godsend!

I'm curious where you like to go to snorkel in Roatan? We have been a couple of times and have really loved snorkeling there too. Our first visit we went to a place on the North Shore called Big Bite Adventures at the recommendation of a local which was great, but we needed to get on a boat to get to the reef. When we were there a couple of weeks ago, we went to a resort in West Bay called Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort and it was awesome! We bought day passes to the resort which got us chairs and umbrellas and use of the pool/restaurants etc but the best part was that you could swim right out to the gorgeous reef. They also had clear bottom kayaks to use if preferred. The whole family loved it, and it is a beautiful place to spend the day.

My wife and I love cruising. Princess is our preferred line. For 2025, We have 3 cruises booked for a total of 49 days from casino comps. Will probably add a new year cruise to round out our travels for the year.

A new subscriber here , i love 💕 cruising too, i hope to start when i can afford it

Sky

Princess

What would be your upfront costs

Kevin, does your T-Mobile service work on cruises? Or do you buy a wifi package on each time? This Q&A is very informative since I plan on going on my first cruise ever this year. Thank you!

?????????? Kevin, you mentioned the USB 10 foot cords; yet would you PLEASE do tell the name brand that you use as i have purchased off of Amazon and am not happy with the quality of them. To have the best ones like you do is a high priority to me as I keep all charging while I’m not using them. Thanks and see you on the next live should you do one before you leave BGC. ❤. Blessings, Deb

This is very helpful. Thank you for your time and effort doing this.

Great Stirrup Cay the best private island by far. Not even close. Ocean Cay 4th or 5th.

I've always eaten in the main dining room on Celebrity and Royal. I've walked around the buffet and walked around the buffet and walked around the buffet. Then I went to the main dining room and found something I preferred.

been watching your videos for a couple years and always wonder how/why you got started traveling around the world. so I went back to your first videos. Good stuff, you are like a real life Jack Reacher. But with a bag. He doesnt even have a backpack

I watch Brandon "the weekend cruiser" as well! It's great that even though your cruise style is different, you still enjoy his videos. I like them all! i learn somehting new from each one

I've heard the Sun is a "different' ship . as in, it was designed by people who had never been on a ship before, so- 1 month huh? good luck.

I'm just about to retire and lm thinking about full time traveling myself. ❤ your videos!!

Been cruising on msc for the last four years its been awesome and cheap my and my gf love it i mean we go to different places as cheap as this :) 700 bucks for a week all u can eat and shows drinks while im in the casino but still u cant go anywhere and eat for week as cheap thats why we go once our twice a year safe travels man

Earlier last year, I thought that I saw the Sky Princess for $29 pppd for a TA. Their return to the UK in March is now down to $36! Unfortunately, I have two cruises already booked. Booked the Virgin Scarlet Lady Barcelona - Miami in October for $85 pppd.

Thank you for visiting Philippines have a safe flight back to the US❤ still waiting for ur walking tour vlog ni BGC haha

On Sun on deck 11 go all the way forward and look for the door with a porthole and go thru it and the thru next door. It leads to a great observation place that nobody knows about

Hubby and I absolutely love cruising. He always says it’s the best way to travel. His parents have been on over 60 cruises! So far I’ve done a Carnival (honeymoon) and a Disney cruise. Ready for the next haha

I have 6 weeks of back to back cruises starting in 2 weeks. I also love cruising. Then, we are headed to Southeast Asia for 3 1/2 months. Good times!

Is the bathroom accessible from inside the van?

I’ll be on sky for 14 days starting May 17th so looking forward to it!

Going to be there for a full day before our cruise next month. Anything we should absolutely not miss? I hear Old San Juan is beautiful.

Forgive me if you mentioned it, but what was the name of the beach?

hiya how much is it a month in uk pounds please can you give me the address please thanks,

View worth it Very workable set up

Be sure to tell everyone that these lifts cause additional stress to the front suspension and CV joints. My CVs had to be replaced after 30,000 miles and the repair gave the truck shop headaches galore. A very difficult and expensive repair to say the least. Inspect your CV boots regularly. But at least it looks good. Can't remove the lift since I have larger tires and wheels now. Stuck.

will you be making anymore videos? I don't do other platforms and really cannot sit for over an hour and a half to parse out the nuggets of info.

Was looking at how to extend my stay this morning and yeah I saw the info regarding "you'll need another passport photo" glad this isn't the case 😂 but was there a dress code or can I go in shorts and t-shirt ? Thank you for the info.

You really dodged a bullet on this one when you decided you could cruise much more cheaply on other, less risky cruise lines than on Villa Vie. Did you hear Villa Vie just had their lawyer write a Cease and Desist letter to Backroads Tourist because he discusses verifiable facts that VV tries to hide? As a cruise vlogger I doubt you would have been happy with this kind of strong arming had you gone on their ship. Lots of vloggers and bloggers discuss and review cruise lines, but VV tries hard to censor their passengers, an anyone not on the ship, and prevent them from saying anything that isn't purely positive. VV just "postponed" (their words, others might say cancelled is a more fair description) Antarctica because they didn't get their ship Polar certified. Cruise lines do cancel Antarctica, but normally due to really rough and potentially hazardous conditions. However VV never made the changes to their ship and never got Polar certified, but continued to sell the bucket list destination of Antarctica including to people who bought the South American segment which was supposed to include Antarctica. They let those people board in Panama City on December19 and only told them on December 27 that Antarctica was "postponed " to 2027 or 2028 (some would say it is more likely to never happen because it makes no business sense to have a Polar capable ship and then only use it to sail there for 4 days every 3.5 years). They knew since summer 2024 when they didn't make the extensive Polar upgrades that the ship couldn't go there. That's just 1 of the things they are mad at Backroads Tourist about because he discussed Polar certification rea back in nova and said he doubted Villa Vie could go there and that upset their residents and was, of course true.

Horse teeth bro

I think you should jump back on plane and head back to see your mom for a visit, then west coast cruise

Stupid clickbait. Everything was just common sense or it was outright just not true.

If May is looking iffy, head back to Missouri to see your mom on Mother's Day! I will most likely be driving the RV from Breckenridge to Milwaukee to see my mom. Best wishes for a great 2025.
