[@gabbbbbriella]

I'm loving these cruise vlogs! Can't wait to watch the others!

[@BlessedJess]

Thanks so much! We had so much fun!

[@kidges3132]

So excited to see these cruise videos!! I'm getting hungry watching and hearing about the great food though 😂

[@BlessedJess]

Hahaha...it was all amazing!

[@stephe3318]

Have a blast! My hubby and I just came off of a 7 day sail with carnival so I loved watching this!!!

[@BlessedJess]

Cruises are the best!

[@shonah2974]

Aww !!!! This makes me so excited for our cruise in January !

[@BlessedJess]

It's the best! :)

[@travelscoutsunplugged]

Great video! My wife I and I just returned from a Carnival Cruise on the Fantasy! We had a blast! We are doing a day-by-day vlog and just posted day number one. Thanks for your video!

[@BlessedJess]

So glad you guys had a great time!!!

[@travelscoutsunplugged]

@@BlessedJess Thanks! Love your channel! Just subscribed! And definitely the "Faith" part! :)

[@Bohern1]

I want to thank you for the video, my wife and I learned a bunch from you guys. We are actually doing the same trip as you did up to even staying in the Marriott in Mobile. We are going on the trip very soon and wanted to say thanks for the info.

[@BlessedJess]

Thanks so much, Brian! I hope you guys have an amazing trip!

[@caharris1974]

I'm going on this very cruise at the end of the week! First-ever cruise and your 5-day vlog got me even more excited...if that's possible! You and David are very much like my friends and I, so it was a wonderful perspective to see things through your eyes with regards to activities and spots to relax and such. I think I put on pounds just in anticipation of all that food! 😆

[@BlessedJess]

The food is amazing!!! Eat a Guy’s Burger for me. I still dream about them! 😊

[@caharris1974]

@@BlessedJess , I got several. I took pictures for you and David, but I can't share them here. I enjoyed them for y'all! ☺️

[@mrs.kotzbeck245]

This has eased my planner heart! Thank you!

[@BlessedJess]

You are most welcome! Hope you have a blast! 😊

[@deer2859]

im going in about 4 weeks..you were such a help to me and my type A personality... thank you!! i look forward to the other videos..❤

[@BlessedJess]

Thank so much for watching! I hope you have a blast! :)

[@debbieblincoe888]

OMG this looks amazing - we are going on our first family cruise in January on the Carnival Legend around the Pacific Islands out of Sydney Australia.

[@BlessedJess]

HOW FUN! I would love to visit Australia!

[@tonicorley6874]

This made me so excited for our upcoming Christmas cruise on Carnival. This will be our 4th cruise but our first Christmas cruise. Our son is 13 and he loves the kids program on carnival. And, I am the same way with meeting new people. My husband is so outgoing and I am always nervous and uncomfortable.

[@BlessedJess]

How fun! A Christmas cruise sounds wonderful! :)

[@pakawyd]

I’m going on this cruise ship on fall break! Hope you had a great time! 🛳

[@BlessedJess]

We had such an amazing time! Hope you do as well!

[@melyant81]

The fantasy was my first cruise and it will always be close to my heart. I have a cruise on Valor planned for January and I can't wait for a Guy's burger!

[@BlessedJess]

I am still dreaming about those burgers! Yum!

[@melyant81]

Blessed Jess I eat low carb a lot even on board if I can and those are the best go to and they are awesome even without the bun. Love the topping bar

[@BlessedJess]

That's awesome! Yes, they have an awesome toppings bar!

[@emilieharrell3022]

I’m going on this cruise next week! Any tips or tricks I should know. How late did y’all usually stay out. And we live in Birmingham Alabama so we are just driving down the morning of. Is this a bad idea? Sorry for all the questions😂😂😂😂

[@BlessedJess]

Have a BLAST! I would give yourself extra time and leave earlier than you think just in case traffic is bad. You guys are going to love it. We usually stayed out until about 11pm or so each night, but you could definitely turn in earlier or stay out later. There is SO much to do or you can do nothing at all. Cruising is the best! Ask away if you think of any other questions! :)

[@emilieharrell3022]

Blessed Jess Ok thanks so much. I can’t wait!!

[@christineesboldt5599]

Looks so fun. I am gonna look at a cruise next year for our anniversary.

[@BlessedJess]

You will love it!

[@christineesboldt5599]

Blessed Jess so the cost on carnival website includes taxes, port charges and you can add gratuity. We would have to add airfare but there are no other hidden charges??

[@BlessedJess]

Right, they add the taxes and port charges to the fare and give you the total you have to pay before a certain date. We added gratuity too and paid that before we boarded. Once you pay off the balance, the only other charges would be if you wanted a drink package, excursion, internet package, etc. It's such a great value!

[@JulissaDoesStuff]

Oh that looks like so much fun! My husband has no desire to go on a cruise ship, and I have a little curiosity, but I have a crippling fear of water. HOWEVER, I'd still go. My dad really wants to go on a cruise, because he was in the Navy so he says he wants to go on a ship where he doesn't have to work lol My husband and I are the same way, we don't really like to sit/be around strangers, but he can talk to anyone and I'm just like you are lol just leave me in my corner alone, thank you. I made some of those vietnamese summer rolls the other day! They're so easy to make and so good! I'm so glad you decided to share this with us because it's just so great!

[@BlessedJess]

Thanks so much, girl! The ship is SO big that you honestly forget you are on a boat! The service and over all experience is just top notch!

[@217italian]

we are going on our very first cruise soon and I really enjoy these video so we can see what to expect

[@BlessedJess]

I hope you guys have a blast!

[@nataliegodowns7109]

I love this video I actually just got off the fantasy about 3weeks ago it was so fun

[@BlessedJess]

Thanks so much! We loved the Fantasy!

[@ericalovett4690]

Just returned off the Fantasy and loved every moment, second and hour of this cruise. We had a blast and plan go back later this year. I think we put the pounds on. Lived all the entertainment in the ship. Shout out to Mickey the Ship Director, Ryan, and Jay Jay, and Dj Rock Steady.

[@BlessedJess]

So glad you guys had fun! We loved the Fantasy! Such a great ship with amazing crew!

[@the_one_and_only_one_and_o3188]

The stuff in the glass bottle tastes better because it is real sugar. The other stuff uses artificial sweeteners.

[@BlessedJess]

Interesting!

[@Jessrf1981]

He’s cracking me up 😂😂😂

[@BlessedJess]

He's a nut! :)

[@charitymuhs6800]

I never thought I would like a cruise, but you are making it seem very appealing!! What did you book it through? You and David are too cute together!

[@BlessedJess]

You would love it! It's the best! We booked ours through the Carnival website, it was so easy and they let you make payments. :)

[@90pinkroses]

What hotel did you stay in? Me and my besties will be coming down to AL to get on this ship?

[@BlessedJess]

Marriot Renaissance Riverview! The park and cruise package is fantastic!

[@enzasdiamondsandcrafts]

Enjoyed this video so much, thanks for sharing! David seems like such a teddy bear! (no offense), the food looks amazing! Question-are the rooms that look out to sea more expensive? That faux window would drive me nuts lol. I'm like you Jess, I'm pretty shy around strangers but I try to engage. You might know this, I'm a little older than you and 10:15pm is late for me also, try getting in an afternoon coffee or espresso to keep you awake. ;)

[@BlessedJess]

He is a teddy bear, I say that all the time! :) The ocean view windows are more expensive, we've had them in the past and it wasn't worth it to us to spend the extra money when we only were in our room to sleep! :) We actually really liked the inside room, was so dark and cozy!

[@AnnaPaul56]

I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I LOVE the Aldi tasting videos. I am a professional taste tester for the Firmenich company, which use to be the Senomyx company till a couple months ago. We develop and conceive new flavor enhancer for the major food corporations. I live in San Diego and the Aldi stores are new to our area so I am also new to the Aldi way of shopping. I love their food, but I love their savings even more. I love to cruise as well. Not sure how many cruises you have been on. We have been on 21 all with Carnival since 1/17/2000 with 4 more booked. So if you are a newbie to cruising, just ask me anything, I’ll probably know the answer to it. Thank you for your great videos.

[@BlessedJess]

I have been on 7, my husband only 2! We hope to do MANY more. They are the best! Thanks so much for watching!

[@showguyer]

After dinner, did you look to see what you were having for your 2nd dinner? Lol

Roll Tide lol

[@BlessedJess]

ROLL TIDE!

[@Morganne832]

Can you wear shorts

[@Morganne832]

To dinner

[@BlessedJess]

They say no cut offs. I would probably not wear shorts, unless you aren’t eating in the dining room. Shorts are fine for the buffet area.

[@williamcaldwell2111]

Roll Tide

[@worldshaker909]

Coke for breakfast.....yikes

[@BlessedJess]

It was vacation! No rules! :)
