Is The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection Worth The Money?

[@gsmith207]

awesome deviation from the normal car stuff RF! love it! i’ve been on a few really nice expensive cruises. Seems like the Ritz Carlton does it really nice but the rooms are small for the $. thanks for upload bub always fun.

[@TopJoo7]

I can see Rob spinning this into an adventure series.

[@marygitihaable]

What luxury cruise line would you say is the best?

[@natehydrv1661]

290 is about the maximum number of people I ever want to be on any size boat with

[@sirclarkmarz]

For me that number would be 2 .

[@JustinN96]

Was looking at this a few days ago, I think it’s great value but my friends were less convinced. Great to see an actual review

[@yourfunsister]

I’ve been on five cruises now. Royal and Celebrity. I’ve always wondered about the Ritz Carlton. Their base cabin is the equivalent of a junior ocean suite on a standard higher end cruise ship with appx 3000 people. The Services is exactly the same one and cruise ship. There are people who tend to your room. Some are better than others I imagine, but we’ve never had an issue with anyone. This sounds like great value for money.

[@F80char]

I love random rob videos

[@kharyzma4u]

OMG! This is an awesome review! Thanks. I've never wanted to go on a regular cruise because it just doesn't seem like my thing. I need space and more luxury. This seems like I may like it more. I'd consider this, although I'm still not crazy about cruises. Thanks again 🥰

[@QueenSuperJ]

It’s very very much exactly like a cruise ship. Just less activities to do. The cabin was pretty but not higher end than a suite on Royal, Celebrity, or a Carnival Excel class ship. Looks very much like a mini cruise ship so I really like it! Thanks for the tour!

[@sflspotter6638]

I went on a Alaska cruise with NCL in the Haven and it’s very intimate limited amount of suites for that area. Has its own pool and jacuzzi. So you’re never going to be too many people around. Plenty of entertainment if you so desire outside the haven. It was a great experience for the $$$$. Great video by the way was thinking of trying Ritz.

[@larrybenton777]

I've stayed at the Ritz Carlton Club on St Thomas a few times. Like you, I prefer land. It's in a great location across from St John. The Club rooms are like condos with 2 or 4 bedrooms, kitchens. Really cheap in off season (summer).

[@boris2835]

what do u call really cheap? compare to peek season?

[@fpfilms6609]

Ritz Carlton is one of my favourites for luxury accommodation, they have a program which allows you to buy anything you like in there hotels (Paintings, Sculptures,Linen , furniture or even the mattress) which is cool, First time seeing there cruise, looks like a much better cruise option as well (Traditional cruises are too chaotic for my liking). Great Video, Happy New Year

[@jaygriffin5710]

Pfft most hotels have that program for free

[@Zimbo1212]

Ritz should’ve paid you for this… always said I’d never go on a cruise but this I would do.

I give you kudos for trying to cruise when you didn’t think you would like it. Great review . I think you kinda like cruising a little bit lol. You might actually like a regular cruise more than you think.

[@pdallemeier]

I have been on Evrima for 5 nights in Feb 2023. Enjoyed it so much, doing it again for 7 nights in March 2024. 298 guests MAX! No shows, no casino, no all day overhead announcements, no roving photographer, to name a few things. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Ritz Water! The food is fantastic. Service top notch. We stayed in a Signature Suite, plenty of space. Nespresso coffee makers in all suites. They will stock your in room fridge with what ever you’d like. The great thing, it’s all inclusive!

[@AdjustToLive]

Great content Rob! You should do more in other lifestyle/luxury areas like this on the channel! 👍

[@nohandleisagoodhandle]

Cinnamon Bay on St John is the most insane beach I've ever seen in person. Can't wait to go back--haven't been to the USVI since 2015... I miss it. Glad to see this as an option; we have never done a cruise due to all of the people.

[@Bwill-hn2pc]

St John’s is nice. Ritz Carlton also has same size boat but the passengers onboard actually live on board and travel the world!

[@DIY_Al]

If you want to try a slightly bigger boat, Regent Seven Seas is a good line that is similar, but you are on a slightly bigger boat, ~700 passengers. The bigger boat means more entertainment, including a casino, and more restaurant choices. The bigger boat is slightly more stable on the water.

[@Starpopper800]

Thanks Rob, nice detour! I’ve always had my eye on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and I think I’ll give them a try now! In college I worked at Ritz-Carlton parking cars and along with Residence Inn they’ve been my go-to hotel when traveling. Both are part of the Marriott group, where I also worked as a lifeguard early on. Disclaimer: I owned

[@itsprivate4360]

Worked as musician on cruises large and small. Italian, Brit, Hong Kong (exclusive first class) and even Russian cruise lines (also smaller) and a lot of fun. There’s fun on either but did prefer the smaller more intimate atmosphere. But with the Ritz Carlton it’s certainly a step up in design and would definitely try it out.

[@linetsart2568]

You should really go on a Royal Caribbean cruise, it’s on another level.

[@samanthaa.6055]

Way too many people for me. One of the awful photos of a full pool reminded me of my RC cruise. It was fun but way too many people. Trying Celebrity this summer

[@rnguyen2516]

@@samanthaa.6055I’d love to know your thoughts. I went on RCL for a seven day cruise during Thanksgiving. I should not have gone during a busy time but I felt very much like cattle. I decided that I wanted to try Celebrity or a higher end cruise.

[@marshabrown7578]

Great review! I agree with just about everything you said from our experience. We had a group of 25 so that made up for the entertainment 🤭 it was a great experience to the point that I don’t think I can do the big cruise ship again.

Our nanny told us stories about Carnival and Royal Caribbean, she loves those boats. People fight and go ahead of everybody, drink too much, and the food is buffet-style mostly. I couldn't change Silversea or The Ritz if I had to take another cruise.

I'm not a boat guy either, but this sure does look nice. I did a Disney cruise as a teenager. Loved it, but not in a rush to cruise again unless the circumstances are correct like your situation. I love being on my own kayak though 🤣

[@IBstoic]

Thanks for this video, was wondering what they offer. You literally saved me some cash, I’d rather charter a small vessel for the family and relax without all the extra people.

[@BlessedN777]

I went on their maiden voyage. After my cruise was canceled about four times, when we finally sailed, I was unimpressed with the ship. Our ports were great, but I found the boat to be very dull. The food was just OK, and there were so many older adults. I'll take Disney cruising on any day

@braxton1098 We spent three days in Barcelona Spain, a day in Genoa and moved on to Florence before spending another three days in Rome. I thought it was great.

[@shepardsmith3235]

OK we are missing a lot here. Its the other cruisers on the ship. They will probably be older, wiser, well mannered, interesting, sophisticated and other positive adjectives of class. These are not the party hard crowd. Nor will they be the crowd that tries to impress you with themselves and what they have. They don't need to do that. The conversation should flow easily with your fellow cruisers and they will be world travelers with lots of good stories and tips to exchange with you and as we found on Azamara you will probably make friends with at least one couple and our Friends are from Sydney Australia and its so nice when you have friends in far away places looking forward to seeing them and we did and had a wonderful time and have kept up our friendship. They are coming to see us later this month. Just my two cents. PS I'm like the above and I fit perfectly with them. But to be honest. Ritz is a bit too steep for us, not that we could not splurge, but we have found you will meet the same people on Azamara and other lower luxury lines as I have mentioned and other lines if you stay in the Retreats, etc. Just my two cents. So no flames, I'm tired of people taking pot shots. If you have a negative comment, please do it in the vein of a discussion rather than a diatribe or attack.
