Cruise to Ensenada, Mexico & Catalina Island on Carnival Inspiration

[@leatherandlace73]

Seriously one of THE best family vacation videos I've watched on KZbin. Thanks for sharing.

[@batemanfamilyorg]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Toura!

[@jamesburrowes3552]

I watch a lot of videos and yours was one of my favorites, you have a clear speaking voice and your dry humor is great, you have a very nice family and your daughter Tess is so adorable. Good job Sir

[@lyricjohnson5575]

Really LOVED the positive attitude throughout this whole video! SO genuine and loving :)

[@hw3006]

How I wish when I was growing up my family made such videos as this one. Your children are blessed to have this resource to view their family's past.

[@WadeNeedham]

This is an amazing video. Thank you for putting it together, and showcasing everything that a cruise has to offer for a family vacation. I am planning this exact cruise loop for my first cruise in March 2017 with my girlfriend and best friend. I can't wait.

[@batemanfamilyorg]

I'm sure you will have a great time!

[@uhlexiss9438]

Two of my favorite things, Disneyland and carnival cruises! Your family is awesome you guys are doing a great job and I hope you maintain the closeness you all have as a family (my family has always been super close). I'm going to Disney and this cruise in July and I can't wait. Awesome editing skills btw!

[@Socal_Geo1]

It was like watching a cool reality show. Thanks for the video.

[@jerilynjerpbak180]

I know this was filmed a few years ago, but one of the best family cruise videos I have seen. Your narration was excellent!

[@nakialicorish2258]

Totally Agree!!!

[@Chris11111]

One of the best videos of a Carnival cruise I've seen. Thank you. I rate it 9.8. The reason I didn't give you a solid 10 is you didn't introduce your family to the viewing audience. Hopefully your next video will correct this. What made it for me is your narration. So many uploaded videos just have canned music and pictures...you gave a wonderful narration. And this compliment is from a Carnival Diamond cruiser. Thank you again for the great video and the reminder of our same cruise some years back. I'm subscribing and looking forward to your next family vacation aboard Carnival. Chris

[@susancuro4481]

You guys are adorable. I loved your daughter's voice singing, beautiful! And Dad also did a great job! God bless your family and thank you so much for sharing.

[@notislandboi4325]

I have to say, you are an awesome Dad, and I'm glad you had a good day on Catalina island, I live here, and it's always nice to see families have a nice vacation here on Catalina, you have beautiful daughter and a beautiful family, I hope you come back to the island soon

[@peterj5022]

The narration is professional and engaging and he sings very well too! Great Job

[@chrissluice3973]

Really enjoyed your video, you vacationed well! My family will be doing the same cruise in April 2020. Hello from Australia!

[@sistatv]

This was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! I really loved it all. You have an absolutely wonderful family and its so easy to see the love and affection you feel for each other. I've been debating over which cruise to take with my family and this has helped so much. all the best to you and your family. SistaTV Loves You!

[@batemanfamilyorg]

Thanks, SistaTV!

[@alexsalenro1159]

OMG ME AND MY FAMILY WERE ON THAT EXACT TRIP! We went kayaking for the first time at Catalina Island, and we haven’t been back since. I loved the Inspiration, we went on it at least once a year. We haven’t traveled on a cruise ship since the Miracle in January 2017, I hope ships resume soon!

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your family vacation with us!!

[@halfcabking]

I really like you narrating. This was a good for what to expect . And your daughter has a great voice

[@MikeDrastic]

Well done Scott! We'll be doing this same cruise soon ourselves. Thanks for the fun look at your familys trip as well as a heads up for those of us who haven't been yet!

[@hectorgonzalez559]

[@franciscoiniguez8492]

[@davidolson1216]

[@H3FamilyVlogs]

David Olson we'll be on the same cruise with you lol

[@thejusticejen]

What an awesome video. Thanks for posting this little vignette showcasing the fun you and your lovely family had on the cruise ship. I'm on the fence about whether a 3-4 day cruise will be worthwhile.

[@tiggleh]

Aww thank you for sharing sir. You have a beautiful family. May God bless you all.

[@completesubjectchange3853]

My family and ! are planning this same cruise for next summer. I think we will be on the imagination though. Looks like you all had a great adventure! Thank you for sharing, it is really nice to see what it is like!

We're working on it, we just cruised to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta, and we might be planning another one!

[@alexxcx3133]

Yay! Your family is so wonderful! What ship was it? Hope you guys had fun! :)

[@batemanfamilyorg]

The Carnival Miracle, and yes, it was a lot of fun!

[@shattirai1875]

Your narration is on point! What a beautiful family!

[@Gsharr11]

[@h.u.y9789]

I Remember When I Played On Catalina Island Is So Fun Then I Came To Ensenada Soo Fun Thanks For Post My Best Memories

[@ripcityuber8699]

Your family will appreciate this even more down the road. Experiences over things. Nice documenting. Excited to for this cruise in January 2017 for a bachelor party.

[@aimeesun554]

I went on the same cruise!! It was such a amazing experience! TBH this my favorite video ever 😂

[@scabbycatcat4202]

Ha ! Fantastic video of a very happy family obviously having a great time. Thanks for sharing. ps your daughter has a very good voice.

[@DenaInWyo]

How fun! I came to your video because I am contemplating a short cruise to go with a convention (Blizzcon!) I go to every year in Anaheim. Hey, I'm already near Long Beach, might as well take advantage and a Sunday departure works perfectly with my convention. Clicked on the video..and..holy cow! You're from Wyoming like me! I live in Casper. I've been on two cruises already, both 7 days on Carnival.

[@donguadalucio1405]

What a beautiful family.

[@vinpat9]

Awesome video diary. Wonderful family.

[@ElreyRayo]

Thanks for the great tour info, beautiful family. Gracias

[@norman_sr]

[@jomo7378]

What a wholesome video! Thank you!

[@cookie7470]

Great introduction to those planning the cruise trip!

[@Vdubin64bug]

Excellent video.. Great family values as well.. I really enjoyed watching.. Thanks !

[@nebbarnes3404]

Love the way you made this video. We are about to go on the Imagination in 2 weeks, taking my aging mother who has never even been ON a vacation. Making it a 3 day only just incase she doesn't enjoy the ship. Checking in online, hoping that will help us to get in faster. How long did it take for you guys to board the ship from the very first time you got in line? I skipped to Ensenada because its the only stop we are making. I can't wait to get there. So hoping to get my hands on some delicious street tacos. Hoping to check out a tortilla factory too. Will have to remember to use the restroom before leaving the ship. I knew they charged for toilet paper but I didn't know they charged for actually using the room. Wow. Hopefully we can find stuff to do at sea day. We aren't pool people but I guess we could relax in the Jacuzzi. Looks like you all had a great time. thanks for sharing your video.

[@batemanfamilyorg]

+NEB Barnes We arrived at 10 am; we were one of the first in line (after standing in another line to check in) but Carnival didn't start processing passengers (security & boarding passes) until after noon. We had opted for Carnival's "Faster to the Fun" (buy it ahead of time as a shore excursion; it's supposed to put you at the front of the line) and it took about ten minutes from the time the line opened until we were on the ship.

[@katiegalindo1485]

Awesome! I’m going on that same cruise soon so this just made me more excited, I’m taking Spanish classes rn to help me once I go 😂👍

[@brianandzenia]

[@Calixand222]

muchas gracias!!! estoy viendo los boletos,los venden por varias paginas,por cual compraron ustedes? por la oficial de Carnival o por algún otra?

[@batemanfamilyorg]

por la oficial de Carnival

[@Calixand222]

otra consulta!! leí que se deja propina,es todas las noches? y leí que es por persona,por los niños también se deja propina o solo se cuentan los adultos de la familia? y de cuanto es la propina

[@batemanfamilyorg]

Andrea Calixto - Carnival les cobrará una propina de $12.95 USD por día para cada pasajero de 2 años de edad o más. Se cargará a su cuenta al final del crucero. Se puede leer más aquí: help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1123/~/service-gratuities-(tips)
