Your room is gorgeous! It looks like a junior suite! Great choice! I didn’t know the Venezia sailed to New England & Canada. That is one of our future destinations- and will definitely consider sailing on that beautiful ship! So looking forward to these vlogs 😃 ~ Inge 😺

When I looked it up, it looks like it includes Boat Drinks, Margaritas and limited specialty cocktails. But they don't specify exactly what the boat drinks & specialty cocktails are.

About drink packages. We have maybe 6 to 8 drinks per day. Some are blended drinks. Not sure what package works best? Info thanks.
@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel
@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel 3 күн бұрын
So probably the Ultimate Beverage Package would be best. To break even with the package pricing, you would need to drink at least 6 drinks.

Probably the Ultimate Beverage Package. To make the drink package worth it, you would need to drink at least 6 drinks. Plus it does include bottled water & soda by the glass with the package

Sorry I missed your live. The one and only time we flew the same day as the cruise Spirit Airlines cancelled our flight so we missed our cruise. We took the Carnival Paradise out of Tampa a couple of times and loved it. The port was easy in and easy out. I would love to do the Islander someday. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Ken! Yeah we have only done that 3 times out of our 29 cruises (and might have to do it once again for one of our trips)...but we try to get the 1st flights out so it's less hassle and so far *knock on wood* we never had an issue. We love Tampa!! Thanks for watching!

It's relaxed, but it has to be what I would conciser proper attire. So no bathing suits, tank tops, bare feet (hey...you never know...). But shirts, shorts, sandals, flip flops are fine to wear in Fins. Thanks for watching!

I like your recipe for stuffed peppers. It's very similar to my Mom's recipe, except she uses rice in the stuffing. She also par-boils the peppers before stuffing them with the filling. Then once they're baked, they are very tender. Yours look amazing, though. I will try your method! Btw, my husband and I love you guys' videos. It really gives us a lot of helpful info on our cruises!!

You take any time you need for yourself. I (and I'm sure I speak for a lot of your friends and subscribers) totally understand if you need to take time away from KZbin. I/we will still be here for you!

Literally the most valuable piece of information to me was what the kids club hours are and there was a banner in front of it :( Maybe you know the answer to this...in all the online photos of the rooms there's a little bar area and a rail in the photos with some liquor bottles. Do they sell you bottles of liquor to use in the room once you're on board? There's literally no information on the website about this. It makes mention of the top tier suite room having a mini bar but doesn't explain where these bottles in the photos of other rooms come from.

I did find this out from other MAS forums: Kids club hours Morning: 9 AM-12 PM Afternoon: 2 PM-5 PM Evening: 7 PM-10 PM After hours: 10 PM-2 AM for a fee ($8 per hour). As for the alcohol in the suites, I honestly do not know, I apologize.

We'll be on Liberty in October (over Halloween!!!). I know she's going to be drydocked this year, I'm interested to see if it's just a mechanical drydock or if there will be upgrades. Either way, great video. I prefer the larger ships, Dream class is my favorite even though Jubilee was amaaazing, but I did love the lido deck on Valor so I'm definitely looking forward to sailing on a new to us ship.
