Lantern fly: see one kill one. stay safe

[@rebeccabunch8466]

That bug is a spotted lantern fly, and you're supposed to kill them because they're an invasive species

[@nicolecorsillo]

Yessss!!! True!!!!

[@denniscostabile4264]

Killing my small tree in the front yard! These bugs are worse than stink bugs!!!!@@nicolecorsillo

[@CarlosCruz-ll5ez]

Those bugs are also all over New York City, whenever I see one I just stem on them

[@Dave17101]

You should kill those Lantern Flies. They are very invasive and will start to lay eggs soon after growing their wings. Great to see you back on the ships once again. Will you be home for the new grandchild's arrival?

[@lizarichards2243]

We absolutely love the Sky! Sailed her many times. One time we actually sailed on Super Bowl weekend. They showed the game in the theater on that big screen and brought in "football food" hot dogs, nachos, etc. So much fun!

[@klsbhog]

My dad owned a cottage in North Conway on Conway lake I used to bring my wife and kids up there. Absolutely beautiful

[@deebee_412]

Ugh spotted lantarn flies. Extremely invasive here in PA.

[@christineciccone2201]

Love the sky. Took her 3 times. The best was to Cuba. The best cruise and best port EVER. Cuba was amazing hope they start letting us go back there soon. And the smallness of the sky we live as well.

[@taylornixon2188]

They're Latern flies and theyre terrible for the enviorment. Squash em! Love your guys and you videos ❤❤❤❤

[@LynetteEdsall]

Those bugs are lanternflys. They attack trees and Maryland is having a hard time getting rid of them.

[@davidjohnson7133]

We have them in PA as well

[@bryansipes3601]

Yes, those are spotted lanternflies. They are destructive to trees, especially maple and fruit trees. The Pennsylvania Extension Office tells us to kill them, but they are FAST suckers. We spray our trees every night with the garden hose. It knocks them out of the tree and phases them long enough to swat them.

[@MudpuddleTravels]

And now Canada will have them 😢

[@bryansipes3601]

@tamis.6094 probably. They came over from China and spread like crazy. They may look pretty, but they are destructive.

[@jeanie9139]

Apparently, they’re shipping them to Boston and Canada.

[@lydiashipman729]

Lantern fly! They are invasive lol. Have fun when you get here to Boston! Grab a cannoli in the North End if you have a chance 😄

[@EECCTravels]

I did!!! From Modern 👍

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

This is exciting i am from Canada, province of Ontario and we used to go to Quebec City with our kids all the time, its been a few years but i know you will love it. Old Quebec is so lovely. Enjoy.

[@rebeccalyons1327]

Gotta love old school ships.

[@tattoorockstar7087]

Don't hug the lantern Flys! Stomp them!

[@EECCTravels]

I wish we would’ve known!

[@richardrozales1356]

I was on this ship when we cruised to Cuba.

[@jordon8485]

Great video, I booked a cruise on this ship Dec 1st this year to St Thomas. Best Norwegian Sky video I've seen so far. Thanks

[@maureenirie5350]

We loved the Norwegian Sky when we sailed on her several years ago. Thanks for the ship tour.

[@haidacable]

It is always a joy to watch your new shows and I know you guys worked very hard to produce the best shows every time no matter whether you guys are RVing or Cruising I enjoyed your cruise ship adventure so enjoy your trip and be safe.

[@EECCTravels]

Thank you so much!

[@NurseTara04]

I’m so happy you visited my city in Baltimore! Thanks to you and Lisa I’ll be on the Sun in December for 12 glorious days, I’m very excited! Thanks for sharing the ship and your thoughts!

[@andrewlandi6574]

Hi, my wife & I’ll be taking the Sun out of Baltimore 12/9 through 12/21 to Caribbean. Will be 6th NCL voyage, 1st out of Baltimore, usually go out of NYC or Boston. Will be taking Amtrak from northern CT, instead of driving. Looking forward to a smaller ship, don’t need a zip line or go- karts, just a nice dance floor. FYI, am a nurse too, REALLY need this vacation.

[@karenmarcellino1147]

Supposed to do this cruise from Baltimore (our home town) in September. Hoping the cruise doesn’t get canceled after the collapse of the Key bridge. So happy you made this video as a prequel for our trip. Thank you

[@PhillProbst]

Welcome to Bawl'mer, hon! 😁 Hope you had a chance to cop some crabs. 👍 So you were in town as the O's clinched the AL east ... cool ...

[@hideawayhomesllc5103]

We sailed the 1999 Volendam this summer in Alaska. Great walking deck! Thoroughly enjoyed the older, smaller ship.

[@tonistacy3483]

We were on the Ncl Sky last year in August for my birthday and our 20th wedding anniversary. Had an absolute blast! Some of the best Deck parties that we have ever experienced. Bahamas cruise

[@mikecrout1942]

the sky is awsome ship love it

[@pip-h]

You are in your element! I felt the energy through the TV

[@EECCTravels]

Awe thank you 😊

[@michaelmcshane189]

Thanks for the tour! Only 65 Days til my next Norwegan cruise Line cruise! It also my 12th NCL Cruise! Welcome back to my hometown, BOSTON!

[@Dolphinsfan1981]

I was on the norwegian sky 9 day cruise from April 26th to May 5th 2023 I loved it I'm going in norwegian joy this upcoming march we went to Dominican republic Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 st martin and antuga plus st Thomas and great stirrup cay loved every minute of this ship ask the guy at Champs about the Bacardi guy

[@lindajackson9247]

This ship is my favorite, I have cruised this one at least 3 times. Love this small ship,

[@EECCTravels]

It is a great ship!!

[@jeanie9139]

Seems like it’s all relative. A smaller ship obviously holds fewer people, but if every bed is full, the ratio is the same. Not like you have 2000 people on an Oasis class ship. That was very awesome during the restart.

[@ronaldboonstra4834]

Smaller ships are the best! Nice to see you back with cruising again. Ty for the vid.

[@151rwilson]

18:18 great video. I agree with your comments about the small ship. So good to meet you all and get to know you all on the Sky. -Ric of Tennessee

[@pip-h]

So much pool and so much hot tub for a nice small ship. I miss the days when 2000 pax was more common. My favorite ship was the Pacific Princess with only 600 pax. I am digging the awnings over the hot tubs. Not that it's the case for this cruise, but it allows for more enjoyment of them in sunny climates.

[@EECCTravels]

You and me both!

[@leightonslife4030]

Love seeing you back on a ship ! Can’t wait to see how you cope with the tropical storm ❤️

[@nutmeg22rb]

Cape Breton is GORGEOUS!! Enjoy

[@jenbrooks5872]

Pretty good timing for leaf peeping in Maine. Its changing. I would guess peak in 2 or 3 weeks but the color is here!

[@shelcheese8344]

Great video quality and love your quieter more laidback travel style. Looking forward to the voyage! Hello from 🇨🇦

[@timothywalters4149]

I love the smaller ships very cozy and easy to navigate

[@cynthiajiammarino7340]

I really enjoy all your videos! The only thing I had a problem with is when you implied that Buffalo,N.Y. was not located on a lake. Buffalo,N.Y. is surrounded by Lake Erie. Over the past 20 years there is increased access to the lake. You also did a video on the Anchor Bar in Buffalo supposedly the home of the original Buffalo wings. The Anchor Bar is over rated and there are better places to get wings especially in the south tons. If you are ever in Buffalo again check out the 1st Ward of Buffalo where many bourbon breweries have opened on the water(lake Erie).Also check out Lucia's which is a nice Italian restaurant located across the street from Lake Erie

[@rainnydays]

Invasive lanterns I think. Bad for the foliage

[@kathyslocombe1182]

Love seeing you return to cruising! In Sydney, go on an excursion/tour around the Cabot Trail. The scenery and colours right now should be breathtaking. Charlottetown, the capital of PEI is very pretty but to see the coastline of red rock and the home of Anne of Green Gables is memorable. And then, Quebec City - you will be immersed in our little piece of France. So much history in our beautiful country of Canada so I hope you both enjoy it. Can't wait to see your journey!

[@rosekraemer8205]

We were on the sky twice once when it was fairly new and last year love small ships

[@deniselman9680]

I just watched your ship tour of our beautiful Sky out of Baltimore MD. I had the pleasure of seeing you guys walking into the port to get checked in I was direction all passengers to the security lines and I turned to come meet you and that quick you were already through security and at the counter to check in. I was really hoping to say hello but I hope if you ever come through the Baltimore port again I will have the chance to meet you guys my name is Denise and I work for Norwegian in Baltimore. Have a great voyage and hope to see you again !!

[@gregtrain1]

We did this with Holland America. From Montreal to Boston. 7 days. The only Maine stop was in Bar Harbor.

[@lkaybird13]

Love the Vlog. The Norwegian Sky was my Second cruise and My First Norwegian cruise!

[@KathyPortal-bp3dl]

Doing this in reverse in October, love the Sky.

[@markm9947]

Looking forward to this series. Good to see you back on a ship. You guys do a wonderful job.

[@normamejias6587]

Great video.

[@102810281028nl]

Cant wait to se the rest of your series.

[@steve7777]

My first two cruises ever were on this ship...brought back some nice memories.

[@janajeffsilvernickelladventure]

We absolutely Love the Sky!! We have been on Three cruises on her. Our first as a matter of fact. Have a great time guys!!

[@dangodsey3020]

I went on this ship back in 2019 before COVID and I loved it service was awesome love your videos much

[@teresalewelling7318]

Thank you for sharing this. Look’s like fun.

[@ivyg5170]

Girl I was all into it until I nearly died with that Lantern fly. 😩 lol. Great video.

[@Tom-l9w]

Hey! We were on that same cruise with you. I agree with you. For an almost 25 year old ship, it was immaculate.

[@HollyDTravelingAfterTransplant]

Great to see you back on a ship! Can't wait for all the content!

[@jasontaber1425]

NCL my favorite cruise line!

[@DanielLukeFields]

wow that remodel is great. i have been on the original and nothing looked like that

[@robbinallison938]

Great vlog. You were in my hometown

[@kjellmyraas6552]

I love to cruise it a nice way to to place to get to place 😊

[@deo0018]

Glad to see you back cruising. Enjoyed the informal tour. Surprised you were able to video in the Casino while it was open. Is this something special for this ship?

[@EECCTravels]

Well… we just did it and no one said anything. It was really quick.

[@esparzatravel6679]

I love the Norwegian Sky

[@mecchie]

Sounds like you need a Canadian friend to pronounce all those places for you! But I'm glad you tried...

[@1131982vincent]

They say if you touch the metal, you can here hit me baby one more time!

[@dsvd79]

You are supposed to kill those bugs. They are invasive. Spotted Lantern Fly

[@pensacola321]

Looking forward to our Christmas Cruise on the Sky.😊

[@cherylrucinski1386]

I was looking at this cruise. I found that there was very few flights to Chicago out of Canada. I might look again for next year

[@EECCTravels]

Funny you said that as our layover from Quebec City is in Chicago.

[@travelingfool9096]

Was on Encore, this is less than 1/2 the cruisers. looking forward to watch this trip and see how this ship functions. A New England cruise is in my future for sure. may be this one way or round trip from NYC. Philly here so logistics are a bit easy

[@EECCTravels]

We spoke to several people who just came off NCL Joy and they said it was so crowded… definitely do a smaller ship for this itinerary!

[@jenreed8403]

See u in 3 more Sunday’s!!!!!

[@blessednettie69]

Nice Ship!!

[@melissa.s.13]

I always enjoy your videos. I cannot get over the fluidity of your videos when walking around the ship - like walking through the MDRs. Great job! We haven't been on an NCL ship in so many years but our favorite ship is the Island Princess and it also has only 2000 passengers. We're hoping to cruise in 2025 to Alaska again on her sister ship. We did a Canada & New England cruise from Quebec City to Fort Lauderdale in 2019 - loved that itinerary. Have fun J & A! :)

[@charlotteangelcortes579]

What cruise line did you use please for that itinerary and what month would you suggest? Thanks so much. Exploring the idea of doing a Canada/New England cruise in 2025.

[@ginetteje9340]

Did the Sky twice, love smaller ship.

[@monicap5054]

Beautiful ship. Looks like it’s running towards an older crowd, is that because of the time of year? Seems like it will be a relaxing cruise, enjoy!! Looking forward to your vlogs!

[@EECCTravels]

I think it is more the length. It is an 11 day cruise and mostly retired folks have the time for this itinerary.

[@lindastover9541]

Have a great cruise day ❤❤❤❤

[@kirkknutson998]

What a beautiful glorious ship! Thank you for the ship tour! I will consider the Norwegian sky next time I cruise 🤔

[@Cupcak3Zombi3]

Going on a Canada and NE cruise at the end of the month with Royal Caribbean :)

[@susananderson618]

Great video, the ship looks AMAZING....we prefer smaller ships. The refurbishment of NCL Sky looks just like new and definitely a ship we would consider if choosing NCL. Great job!

[@EECCTravels]

They really did a great job on this ship!

[@lynnfranklin5098]

Little ships are the best

[@davva360]

Interesting itinerary. Have not done one like it yet but it's on our radar. We recently did a Greenland / Iceland cruise on Celebrity that stopped in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland too. Awesome itinerary. I love the Caribbean cruises but you cant beat doing a more unique itinerary from time to time.

[@EECCTravels]

Oh I 100% agree! Variety is the spice of life!

[@brandonthailand2062]

Sailed the Sky when it was Pride of Aloha in 2007.

[@anastas6179]

I'll be doing New England-Canada out of Boston next year on another line. The one-way itineraries look pretty attractive, so I'll be looking at those in future. As a life-long MA resident, I never realized cruise ships sometimes stop in Matha's Vineyard!

[@girlsgonepaper6891]

I took this trip a few weeks ago it was okay, I felt like they didn't know what they were doing. Not a lot of communication maybe because we were the first ship out of Baltimore (we went to Bar Harbor instead of Portland.) I didn't find that the food was consistently good There were many times where I would just leave the food and try to find something else edible. I had a whole bunch of other things happen to the point where I don't know if I need to take another cruise to get this experience erased for never ever travel with NCL again...😔

[@girlsgonepaper6891]

Oh about Martha's Vineyard was nice but it was a Sunday and we got it at 7 in the morning and most of the places didn't open until after 10 or 11 because it was Sunday. And we had to be back on the ship by 1 by tinder.

[@EECCTravels]

@@girlsgonepaper6891 we heard there were issues in the dining rooms but we never went in there. We ate at the buffet most meals and we could alert find something good. And we love the specialty restaurants.

[@roberthaynie7852]

Thanks for the tour

[@marie-claudegodbout1564]

Missed you in Quebec City! I was even in Old Qc because we had a union manif regarding wages, we could see the ship from the Tourny fountain ! Having known I wouldve loved to bump into you guys :) hope you do a review of my beautiful city 😊

[@magalieroy3417]

Your coming to my hometown Saguenay, hope you’re like it. You have to try a Poutine at « Cantine Boivin » and the gelato at « gelato et cacao » both are just a short walk from the port! Bienvenue chez nous.

Great to see you guys back on a ship where you belong! lol Keep the videos coming, gang!

[@alewis8204]

Those bugs are the spotted lanternfly. They are from Asia, extremely invasive, and destroy crops. The Dept of Agriculture wants anyone who sees them to stomp on them.

[@DestinedJourney]

We’re going on the Sky in 3 weeks! So excited! I didn’t see Cagney’s and Moderno in the tour. Are they in deck 12 like the Sun?

[@EECCTravels]

Cagney’s is on 12 but there is no Moderno on this ship.

[@DestinedJourney]

@@EECCTravels interesting. We were just on the Sun to Alaska and loved it. We’re love the old NCL ships as well! Nice variation from the mega ships.

[@adventureswithmachell]

Those bugs look like a beetle, moth, fly all in one! You are brave for letting it crawl on you, lol. The ship looks very nice for its age. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@karenhicks7816]

Doing that cruise next year. Can’t wait to see how it goes.

[@davelauraphillips8814]

Please discuss taxes and duty fees for items purchased both in foreign ports and on board ship. Thank you.

[@EECCTravels]

Not sure what you mean… there are no taxes if bought onboard or in a ‘port’ area.

[@davelauraphillips8814]

@@EECCTravels If you buy something outside the US, are there import taxes or duty fees imposed by US Customs when you come back? Also, do you pay US local state sales taxes, when the ship is in a US Port? Thank you for taking time to answer this. OBTW, we watched another recent video of a couple cruising on an even smaller ship. They noted that several passengers were obviously sick (coughing, etc.) at boarding. They got covid within a few days. Still seems like some people don't care enough about others to stay at home when sick. Stay safe, stay well!
