I Was Totally Shocked By My First Transatlantic Cruise 😱

[@peggytravels793]

Kevin, you had us all spoiled with more videos from the Caribbean, missed you. This looks like an amazing cruise to different ports…definitely excited to continue this journey with you.

Yay you’re back!!! I just went looking the other day thinking I had missed your newest videos. Glad you had a great time! We are currently on our 2nd 14 day Nieuw Statendam cruise and doing a Celebrity transatlantic right after this. Love an ocean crossing!!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Oh awesome! Ill be on a transatlantic back to the US in mid November.

[@wendimiller6903]

Iceland towns looked so much nicer than the tourist trap towns in the Caribbean and other similar places

[@30AndAWakeUp]

for sure!

[@brandonboykin9228]

Umm no! Cool place but for me the Caribbean is always #1

So great to see you back on the tube. We have been looking at doing a transatlantic cruise, can't wait to see what you thought.

I really enjoyed it.

Great video Master Chief! I am one of those who hates the Princess shower curtains! Transatlantics are my favorite cruises, very relaxing. Looking forward to the next installment! Take care, from a TM3SS

Man…so many positive things about your video. Start with the hotel recommendations. I will definitely stay at the Embassy Suites when I’m down in Ft Lauderdale for my cruise. I ridden in a Tesla Uber before and it is a dream car. So quiet and smooth. It’s like you’re floating on a cloud. I haven’t done Princess cruises before, but I’m I looking forward to a 23 day cruise Ft Lauderdale to Vancouver sea to sea cruise in 2025, as my first Princess cruise.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Very cool! What Princess ship?

[@becfurness8597]

Great to see you back Kevin. I was actually googling what happened to you at one point so it’s wonderful to see all is well! I always look forward to your videos because you’re living my retirement dream, don’t stop cruising 😊

Thank you so much!

hey glad you are back, I was afraid you sunk somewhere. looking forward to more videos.

More to come!

[@damonantos2345]

No way! I was ON that entire 33 day cruise! But I didn't come across this KZbin channel until recently so I wouldn't have recognized you if I saw you. The weather was incredible for us- hardly any rain the entire voyage. It was my first Princess cruise. The shower is the smallest in the fleet. Sapphire Princess's had just slightly larger size. I love Princess, but never again the Island Princess. I'm into getting my cardio in, just like you, but I am a fitness center user. On the Island Princess it is a walled-in sweatbox way below on Deck 6.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

yeah it wasn’t a great gym for sure

[@CellasChariot]

Woohoo you tried Poutine!! My mum is from Quebec and I'm glad you got to try it...not so healthy but worth a treat once in a while. Iceland is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing Kev!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

it was good...but i definitely gained a few pounds from it 🤣

Lol, the hump is called the Wave. Kids love Climbing it. This summer our weather in Nova Scotia has not been our usual. Normally our summers can be hot. Too bad you didn’t try a beaver tail. They are delicious.

I was in Southampton two weeks ago. Cruised northern Europe. Enjoyed it! Looking forward to your next video update.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Very cool. Hope you had a great cruise.

[@neresq]

Definitely have been wondering what you've been up to... I know this Fire and Ice TA was back in May/June, so guess the delay is because you've been very busy enjoying life -- maybe exploring more of Europe? This is a cruise that's still on our list to take. We've done 8 TA's (to Med and Baltic), but not this one. Also have sailed entire Norwegian coast - but in middle of winter. Time to experience Midnight Sun instead of Polar Night.

When I bought my first touring motorcycle, my first trip was to Nova Scotia. I liked Sidney better than Halifax, but Halifax is a great town too. I took the overnight ferry from Maine instead of a cruise ship to get there - but rode all the way back through New Brunswick. Heh, and you are going backwards to Old Scotland in few more stops too!
