Thank you so much!!! I need that pill case

[@Hatiqua626]

Omg! Just a tip to add about sea sickness. On my first cruise on Norwegian as soon as the boat started moving, I was out for the count. I had to take a nap. The Stateroom attendant stopped by and I swung open the door looking crazy. He asked if I was ok. I said “No…. I think I’m sick.” I had Seabands on & ginger candy and nothing worked. He came back with a Green Apple & said, “this should help.” It sure did! When I was feeling better, I noticed there were bowls of green apples around the ship dining areas. I was so grateful! So Green apples help with sea sickness! I’m praying they have them on my carnival cruise 😅

Carnival is no longer requiring vax or testing for cruises of 15 days or less.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Yes this is old, that rule has aged. We’ll see what the future holds.

[@adrianakessler384]

I am so glad you said this because we go in January (first one), and I am the only one without it. Do you need a birth certificate on Carnival? I haven’t laid eyes on mine in probably twenty years.😬

[@christopherjocolano4836]

So we're going on our first cruise this April. I've been watching Cruise videos daily for the last two months to get as much insight, tips and advice for our trip. I have to give your videos a 100% thumbs up. Your videos, are by far, the most informative content on KZbin I've been able to view. So, that being said, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for putting this information out! Hope to meet both of you on a cruise sometime and thank you in person!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Thank you, Sounds great! Have a blast!

I hope to meet them too ! What cruise in April? I go Carnival Vista April 2nd 22 !

I agree I'm going on my 1st cruise on May 1st. And have been binge watching videos for the last few mths as well. You two are by far THE BEST at getting all the info out to us that we need. And I appreciate it soo much. BUT my favorite thing about you 2 is that you are both extremely interesting to watch too, most of these videos are soo boring and blah lol but I LOVE your videos, your interesting and funny as hell lol.

You guys are great! I also am a travel agent. Been on about 52 cruises. Carnival is ok, but I love Celebrity cruises. I am a food goodie so Carnival of course is low on the list for great food. People also should know if you dont like what they charge for gratuities you can change the amount. All you do is go to guest services a day or two before the end of the cruise and they will take off how ever much you want, even the whole amount they will take off with no questions asked. They add on 18% on all services which also is alot of extra money to pay. A massage is great , especially on a shore day they will have specials but once the gratuities are added you can have 3 massages back home for what you payed on the ship. Always remember you do not have to pay what they add on for a gratuity when it comes to spa services and others.You tell them you want it changed to what you want to pay for a tip.Check often your rates on line mine recently changed 4 times into better rates before final payment. Make sure you bring your Tylenol from home. I just payed $15.99 for a small bottle of 20, in their store, then the next day on their private Island it was for sale for $2.99 figure that out!

[@4everbassets]

Thanks for the recommendation!! I’m definitely wanting to go where the good food is ❤️

[@andreafrancis-k4i]

Tell me about the captain ball and can u get off and shop and buy thing to take back home for children and friends

I got sea sick in 1986 on a Canal boat ride in Amsterdam. To this day on every ship I board I carry Sea Bands, Dramamine, Ginger tea, and ginger candy. Never hurts to be prepared!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

I totally understand

[@deidresmith9698]

I also pack my SNACKs n allowed soda. I mix my 12pk. A few ginger ales n spite in case of upset stomach. Thn my favorite sodas n SNACKs. In case of quarantine or late ngt munchies u have something on hand

I think I am HOOKED on your content! Me, my husband, some family, and friends have booked a cruise for July 2022. This will be my second one; my husband's first. I went one the first one when I was 17. I am now 28. So, I never really got to experience the ship and what all it had to offer being that I was underage. I have been watching your videos RELIGIOUSLY to get ready for this cruise. Thank you guys for sharing!!

Great idea on the split luggage weather you cruise/fly somewhere

[@SmokeN.Mirrors]

We just started doing this, just in case. Great idea.

[@kaitieknipe4048]

Never heard of it before but it sounds like a good idea if you're luggage gets lost, damaged or Stolen. Might give it a try

[@cynthiaburris2739]

Been doing this since my first trip to Europe with my husband in the early 1990"s.

[@bryanbeverly6654]

The latest trend is using luggage tags to make finding your luggage easier. This will not prevent luggage getting lost, so the split luggage tip should still be used. Luggage tags reduces the risk of luggage getting lost but does not prevent it all together. This is a great video. It reminds us that when you fail to plan, then you plan to fail,

[@cruisingwithcrystal146]

One tip, ask guest services for things you might forget before buying them in the shop. Save money! Also, if you have the drink package you can get naked drinks, and teas in the gift shop for free with the drink package. Also, some bars on the ships have a buy one get one half off HH between like noon and 2 on embarkment day. Check hours for each ship. But ask!!!

[@07gliderbarr15]

Split luggage is a good idea that I've never thought of.
