I LOVE San Juan and all of Puerto Rico. I used to visit there almost every winter while I was still working and have visited pretty much the entire island. El Morro is amazing and Old San Juan is great to wander around in with all the colorful buildings. Not far from Old San Juan are the main beach areas: Condado, Ocean Park, and Isla Verde. I used to stay in the more local neighborhood of Santurce, not far from the beaches, and loved it. San Juan is definitely a place you should return to for a longer stay. Thanks for sharing your visit!

Have you been to St. Maarten? If so, please share your tips and experiences. We would love to hear from you. Thanks.

Thank you for this video. Hubby and I are Booked for 29JAN25 for the 10-day Eastern Caribbean cruise on THIS vessel

What a great trip!😊

Do you have any travel budgeting ideas and cost saving tips? We would love to hear from you! Please share them in the comments below. Thanks!

Enjoyed the travel updates. Kevin would probably really hit it off with Rob from Grounded Life Travel, he loves baseball

Merry Christmas! That looked like a great cruise along the western coast of Africa. And what a coincidence that you are in Bangkok. I will be there myself next week! Maybe I'll run into you!

Merry Christmas! Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!❤

Thanks for info

Beautiful waterfalls and lush landscapes. On my trip to Dominica I only stayed in the northern part of the island. The area you visited is much more interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I've been to Dominica (on a tour stop) over 20 years ago. Beautiful island, beautiful people.

Is this Browns beach ? I've been and going back in 2025

We sailed her in 2022 out of Rome. Wasn’t a fan of the wavy cabin walls but the ship was clean, crew very friendly and the food was great. Our balcony was huge but never used it. Entertainment was top notch.

You indicated you paid $12. Did that include the cost of your chair/umbrella? Do you need reservations or can you just pay when you get there?

Thank you so much for good information and content! May I ask what stateroom you were in ?

Great video. Just asked my wife if Aruba was one of our stops, she said no. Thanks for sharing.

I too discovered Aruba via a cruise back in 2009 and have travel to Aruba every year. My favorite place to stay is the Marriott Surf Club located at Palm Island.

Do you have a favorite cruise ship? If so, share it below. We would love to hear it and maybe someday sail on it as well.

Thanks for the video, do you recall whay date you departed Port Canaveral. We are looking at a April 2025 Transatlantic from NY to Rome.

🛳🛳🛳 glad you had a enjoyable time. We're fans of b2b's great to see how the atmosphere changes between sailings

Thanks for this! I'm headed that way in the new year!

Florida grew mountains? 😮

Great coverage! How fun!🎉

Nice video. Curacao is a really great place. I visited there several years back, not as part of a cruise but just as a vacation stop for about 4 days. I enjoyed it. So colorful and interesting with the museums and that rotating bridge. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed your commentary on this subject. It is a bit overwhelming venturing into the unknown but life is meant to be lived. I will soon be retiring and look forward to the freedom the two of you enjoy.

Thank you for the information.

British Airways introduced a new route in 2023. London to Aruba via Antigua. I tried it out. My Conclusions. Aruba is very hot and very humid 24/7/365 like 80C and 90% RH at dawn, as the sun rises it gets worse. The Capital is geared up for visiting cruise ships and the stores sell the expensive tat that nobody wants. Sorry buit I can't recommend it. The only good thing is that the Airport is close to the Capital.

Looks like you had a great stop in Aruba. I was there about 10 years ago and thought it was beautiful and pleasant. I was surprised with how dry it is for a Caribbean island. Wasn't expecting to see cacti! Thanks for sharing!

Im looking for places to live in Mexico after this election

Hotel????

Thanks for the video!! We’re traveling on our first Princess cruise after decades with Carnival.. saw that Commanders shirt! HTTC HTTR!!

We have cruised with 6 cruise lines, and have wanted to do NCL… we do balcony or suites only. The Epic has intrigued me, but that bathroom set up for the balcony cabins is a deal breaker for me. Not only am I germaphobe about handwashing and that outside the toilet room sink, but I also hate the idea of sleeping in a bedroom where sewer gases can come up from the sink or shower. Yuck. Ship plumbing is always a problem as it is, without sleeping next to an open pipe. Total dealbreaker, even though I love the layout of the ship.

Thank you for this personable and detailed tour and review.

It looks beautiful! I'm fascinated by the salt. When you were in the area where it was collected, was there any information on that process?

This was a lot of good information. Hot in the summer for this itinerary.

What is your favorite Caribbean island? Please share in the comments. We would love to hear from you.

Thanks for the information. It sounds like a relaxing spot.

Great info! Thanks!

Have you sailed on Princess cruises before? If so, what is your favorite ship? Please leave your comments below.

Thanks for the info on Livorno, I think we will spend a day there when we stop on our cruise in Nov.

Awesome ship and nice cabin layout. Thanks for sharing!

My wife and I are thinking of booking a Mediterranean cruise on the Epic next October. Excellent review! How did you get the upgrade offer? Also, your voice is very soothing! Thanks again!

What is your favorite theme park memory or experience?

One of our favorite ports. We had a relaxing day there. We found a bakery from 1420, Gioras Wood Medieval Bakery, and had wonderful orange cake. It was filled with their antique tools and baking wares. We sat by the old fireplace.

I really enjoyed Queretaro as well. Beautiful, modern, interesting, friendly people. It's not on most people's list of places to see in Mexico, and that's a shame because it really is worth visiting. I'm so glad I went there. Thank you for bringing back the fond memories of my visit!

Excellent video and new subscriber. I also sometimes put together a DIY tour based on tours you see on Trip Advisor, etc. to save money. I'm a planner so it's been difficult for me to let go of that and be more spontaneous, but I'm working on it! There are challenges with this lifestyle but the pros greatly outweigh the cons. I've been a full-time traveler for 2+ years now and never been happier!

Barcelona has been in the news recently because of their anti-tourist stance. Have you been to Barcelona? If so, what was your experience and would you visit in the future?
