24hrs on ORIENT EXPRESS ($9,000 MISTAKE?)

[@Mr.MallyMall]

Spending 9k for a train ride and not having everything included is wild!!! For that price, they should include anything I want. That's highway robbery.

[@susanmacaluso5218]

That's Railway robbery!

[@shotgunjones2720]

It's not robbery, it's murder on the orient express.

@zianeshkasparen4358 Thanks for telling me your unwelcomed opinion. I'm sure your parents are proud.

Orient express = Disney for trains. Similar price scheme

[@ronaldmertes9180]

Suzanne when you reached back to take Jebs hand as you were making your way to dinner made my heart drop, it reminded me of times spent with my late wife and how much I miss her, to many these are just infomercials but to me it's a married couple who enjoy their time together filming the adventure, true you gotta pay the bills but the two of you make it much more personal thanks for taking us along, until the next time.. enjoy life together 😊

That’s crazy. I guess for people with money it would be a great experience. $9,000 to someone like me living on social security, would be life changing. But it’s fun to travel vicariously with you guys. You do a great job explaining things.

[@julesTerrier-j3m]

Glad you got to make this trip! It is silly money to spend on 24 hours, but if your a railroad enthusiast, an Agatha Christie fan, or just love good food it's on your bucket list. I'm all three of those things, and if I win the lottery this would be my first trip. J&S- you looked great and I'm glad you enjoyed.

[@silentrunner7283]

got to remember they are influencers so they probably got a discount for the airing it on their channel. (influencers must inform ahead of time to Media part of companies to inform they will be filming) 500k subscribers and up this is pocket change for influencers. I love their channel, but I tend to wince when they whine about crap that they got for free. You know it's also paid for if not 50 - 100% when they say this is "sponsored" by...... (Also there is almost no negative issues regarding service, etc so you know they got some free stuff from the train ride) I still love his narrations and they are a beautiful couple , they need to do some real stuff for regular people once in awhile. Come back down to earth.

[@dc4539]

I love listening to Jeb narrate. Such a warm character

[@sonyaw4380]

Hi Jeb & Suzanne, I think by now we all have established you ARE travel influencers. But one thing I appreciate is that you still have the authenticity of honestly reviewing your travels; unlike most influencers who gradually lost their touch with their contents as they grew audiences.. I love you guys for that. Keep on the great work!

[@Rainbowbright2024]

To be honest, it's nice that they are keeping this train historical despite some cons in comfort. Modern designed luxury trains are available as well and sticking to the past makes this Orient Express here special

[@ScottKlapman]

Hearing Jeb say he wasn't expecting much in the way of scenery, as the most wonderful scenery ever was shown passing, was amazing - it's always nice to find such an unexpected treat on a trip (which is already such a treat, esp. a train trip like this one).

[@chathammkm]

Kind of silly to say he wasn't expecting much from the scenery, considering the areas that he traveled through to get to Paris.

[@timmellor2599]

Considering the luxury, like few other trains in the world, it isn't that expensive. Although it isn't cheap either! It is a bespoke experience that many dream of doing but few can afford. I hope you really enjoyed it

[@toymaster5464]

Hey Jeb....at $9000 per 24 hours....I wouldn't sleep! Lol thanks for the interesting video!

[@supersonique001]

Well done! Much respect for dressing up and putting on the Ritz. Well worth the money for living a dream and fantasy IMHO.

I have watched a number of reviews covering this fine train, this particular one being head and shoulders above the rest. Excellent camera angles, perfect lighting and fine editing along with pleasant background music for the most part. Jeb looks the part too, old money aboard the Orient Express.

[@Philipp-l5l]

Oh, you two are so cute 😊 And you looked gorgeous! Thanks for always taking us along on those special trips...and your videos are really well made. Keep 'em coming!❤

[@BruceM8]

Guys, that was so much fun to watch! You gave us a sense of more-or-less everyday people enjoying the legendary train. I love trains and would love to enjoy the legend, too, but it's way more money that I want to spend on something like that. Fortunately, for you and for us, you were in a position to do it for us! I was surprised by the lack of people in dining rooms and lounges on board, and by the lack of a private toilet and shower in your room. Even Amtrak has the latter! I know these trains are expensive, but I would LOVE to see you riding more of these legendary trains around the world, and I'll be right along with you (on KZbin, that is). Great and safe travels, Suzanne and Jeb!

[@AnnieBrownlll]

Outstanding. Have always loved the Orient Express.

[@Kinteresting]

I think the train ride on the eastern & orient through Malaysia was far more impressive, unique and exciting. The details on this ride were lovely but in my experience, not at all at that price point. Having to pay so many extras.. even details like the flowers or the lack of 24/7 service, that should all be there. It seems very much more like the idea of it. The eastern route was actually special, understated elegance and one of those life experiences that seemed truly unusual which stays with you. I suppose this would differ for person to person and based on travel and location experience. But as someone who has paid thousands of dollars for a seat on a plane - I don’t really see the enjoyment here for what you’re getting for that amount. Totally subjective though!

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

I am impressed that you did it nevertheless, not withstanding the expense. Just remember that, as you have both flown first class, now you can claim to have railed first class: great and in twenty years time the memory will still be fresh.

[@shompirass]

[@nancycurtis3964]

Re formal nights, my husband and I took an epic two-month trip in 2022 to the British Isles, Isle of Man, and Ireland, all ships, trains, and ferries with the occasional rental car. No airplanes! The ships and one train, The Royal Scotsman, had formal nights, and my Irish husband felt it necessary to bring his extremely heavy wool "kilt attire," which nearly required its own suitcase. Just taking a tuxedo would have been so much simpler!! Thanks for the great review of the Orient Express!

What an amazing train trip. Thanks Jeb and Susanne for sharing this with us.

[@moscowkev]

That price is beyond outrageous. If you want a beautiful, old luxury rail journey, check out Rovos Rail in South Africa. For comparison, a 3 day journey from Pretoria to Cape Town on Rovos is $2k per person ($4k for a double), and includes all meals, beverages, excursions (which are very interesting) and a room that is much bigger than the one on Orient Express, with a Queen size bed and its own bathroom. It is better than the OE in every way, except the food quality, which is still quite good.

[@stewartmurray5830]

Yeah but also no. If you are paying that price you aren't comparing to other things. You are paying for the history and the name and yes to extent to keep out a certain kind of person. Should more be included, yes probably. Is it still busy and do people still go anyway, yup. It's like buying a very expensive Ferrari or some such and saying oh but my Honda has more cupholders, who cares you aren't cross shopping them. Likewise this and any other train. Plus Belmont are very expensive for what you get, their hotels are the same.

Despite all the luxury of the literal Orient Express, it still has the European issue of the beds being perpendicular to the rails. This creates the problem of acceleration and deceleration making one feel like they're gonna fall out of the bed if they're on the upper berth. The U.S has solved this with roomette beds being parallel to the rails and upper berth netting.
