I spent 5 days onboard Royal Caribbean's 'Voyager of the Seas' to see what it's like going on a cruise as someone who's never cruised before. But what's it like?

This is the best thing I've ever seen..and i want to tell everyone why You Noel, in general shatter all excuses I've heard my mom and dad have had for decades. Excuses for not daring to break out of the comfortable shell that is daily life. Literally wining about it. This is further proven by the belly flop competition. A bunch of normal people/dads that put themselves out there, living their life. You know... actually DOING IT! Not just sitting at home, at work, having a midlife crisis.. which is just a hint that you are NOT doing what you actually want to do. Truly.. You, you're family and that belly flop competition made me really happy!

I've wanted you, Rach and your lovely (and as usual, extremely well behaved) children to do a cruise for ages! I was really interested to see Rach's experience with me being a fellow Fibro warrior, and my hubby and I have toyed with the idea of a cruise, but not knowing how I would cope. With all the cruise KZbin channels that I have watched, nobody has ever taken it from a health/mobility perspective. Plus also the added benefit of your brilliant dry wit analysis you add into all of your work. It looks like you all managed to enjoy your time, even with the changeable weather, but what I loved most is that out of all the activities there was onboard, what you all said was a highlight is the time you spent together as a family. Those are the memories that you will all cherish forever. X

Ya'll made me laugh with how apprehensive you are feeling about cruising. It is the best way to get anywhere when you're not in a hurry. As and FYI, if you are ever feeling queasy from the motion or rocking of the ship, NEVER EVER stay in your room because there is a lack of depth perception and will make you feel even worse. Always go out up on deck to the back (stern) of the ship where the stability is greater. I learned this on my first cruise and I've been on 8 of them. I love it and enjoyed your video.

I've done a fair few cruises now. The trick is to get the excursions booked before you get on board or at worst, do it as soon as you get on board. Being on board the entire time, you might want to consider doing a repositioning cruise. These are usually like 20+ days at sea, and well worth it if you like being on board more than visiting places.

I did love it but I didn't enjoy being "trapped" for many hours at a time and being surrounded by 000s of people got a bit wearing. It's astonishing how large these ships are - I marvel at how they even build them. Noel is heading close to 0.5M subscribers!!

We did on-ship excursions that involved eating. Lol. One was a kitchen tour, then unlimited champagne brunch, and the other was a fancy dining experience for lunch that showcased food from all the fine dining restaurants. They were fun, and not too terribly expensive. We love the getaway, unplug, relax aspect of cruising.

Loved this vlog Noel and glad you got to spend quality time with your lovely family ❤️ As someone else has said, it was great seeing cruising through fresh eyes of people that have never been on one before. Yes, cruising isn’t for everyone, you either love it or you don’t. We are just about to go on our 13th cruise in March from Singapore to Sydney and are just as excited about it as we were about our 1st one on the Sun Princess way back in 2009 🥰 Cruise experiences also differ depending on the cruise company, Royal Caribbean are more family oriented, plus their ships are huge. Our favourite cruise line is Princess, their ships tend to be a bit smaller and have less passengers, so you don’t seem to get the crowds as much. We are like you as unless there is a port that we are really interested in visiting, or we have never been to before, we usually get off and have a wander, but we also love just staying on the ship and enjoying it ❤️ I hope you do give cruising another go in the future, maybe try another cruise line to compare, plus, now that you live in the US, you are spoilt for choice with cruises and destinations and compared to what we pay for a cruise fare in Australia, you can get very good deals in the US 👍 Keep up the great work Noel, you are fabulous 🥰❤️😘😘

I am going to share this vid with everyone who has said to me they don’t think cruising is for them. You and your family’s perspective is very down to earth and relatable. I did miss the usual loo review intro tho 😂 Your ship is one of my favorites and it’s nice to see you give it some ❤.

I have heard so much about cruises being so wonderful but I think a holiday should be a time to relax and unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet. This was neither peaceful or quiet, and I honestly can't think of anything worse.

We've cruised, and loved every minute of it, even the seasickness when it was rough. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I must admit to ringing the bell at the top of the climbing wall to my daughter’s amazement. I think your wife hit it on the head to say you need to keep an open mind about crusing. It’s such a big ship but is designed to accommodate all the passengers on board. I’ve never had a bad cruise and find the bigger the ship the better. Best of luck in the future.

We love cruising and have been on dozens of them. Our last cruise (Nov 2023) was actually two cruises put together (different ships - same cruise line). We started with a 10-day Med cruise out of Istanbul followed by a 16-day trans-Atlantic cruise from Rome to NYC. We like having to unpack once and being able to wake up in different country almost everyday. Plus all of the food, entertainment, and service like a king - can't beat it for the money. Next cruise isn't until April 2024, a 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Apex - a gift from the casino folks!

Did Rach get her spa treatment?? It's fun to see you do something different. The cruise vloggers I watch don't include their young children. Loved it!

I'm surprised (and happy) to see you on a cruise with your family ❤ I'm sorry Rachel got sick, but she still managed to make the best of it. The kids certainly seemed to enjoy it. Me and my Besties are going to take a Royal Caribbean cruise down the west coast of Mexico in May. I'm looking forward to it!

As someone who got into cruise videos after finding your channel I feel like I somehow manifested this. I think my favorite part was you using all the flight jargon even though you were on a boat 😭
