What is your favorite holiday?

[@Zombie-Tog]

Caaaaaarrruuuuuuuuuuuuuzzzzzzzinnng! (in your face obviously)

[@normamejias6587]

Thanksgiving Day. Too much stuff to eat for at 3 days😂😂😂😂😂

[@JohnFitzpatrickx]

Thanksgiving ❤

[@alyssasimon3940]

hmm. thanksgiving and embarkation day! (LOL)

[@brezinapb]

I would have to say Thanksgiving because that is the one day that the entire family sets aside to gather together under one roof. ❤ Once again, thank you,Tony, for all you do. So appreciate your content.🎉

[@paulo.g.8254]

It seems like the trend of limiting the number of cruisers started with the trend of the launching of the mega-ships. When a big ship was 2500 passengers it didn't seem to be a problem. Now that ships carrying 6000 passengers are arriving it's just too much to handle.

[@TravelswithTeesa]

Good point. Big difference.

[@johnintenn1052]

Yup...had two Vista-class shis at Grand Turk....to say Margaritaville was overcrowded is an understatement.....

[@EKA201-j7f]

It wipes out the area, the character of the very thing you came to see. The big ships should be cruises to nowhere.

[@sandrawilkinson2557]

This is my second year that I have not been able give him a hug and wish him happy Father’s Day. Value them while they are still here cause they can he gone in a flash.

[@186bingo]

Just seeing that family picture and smiles warmed my heart. No such thing as perfect human Tony. Gotta keep doing the best any of us can do.

[@larryfinkel4102]

I would love to tell my dad happy Father's day if he was still here

[@kmgg5005]

me too 💚

[@gregkeaton4388]

Just missing him means you had a good dad take solace and that we always miss the good people

[@92balloons]

Me too

[@JeanCarlos-lz4vd]

I've got 5 grown kids, there's nothing like having them all in one place!

[@pilotnh3-mx4ql]

Tony- thank you for at least admitting the emissions happen somewhere else. Some people actually believe that all electric is clean.

[@scottwoods504]

I was in Santorini last September on the Enchanted Princess when 3 cruise ships were there. It was a miserable experience because of the overcrowding. I agree that something needs to be done to make it more manageable. Limiting the number of cruise ships is in the best interest of the cruise ship passengers. The Captain of the ship even apologized for putting us through that.

[@llbaker5282]

Many ports are getting like that and the mega ships aren't even all out. We've stopped until it gets managable, hopefully it does.

[@noahdrumright9940]

It’s a rare treat to get all 5 of my kiddos under the same roof nowadays, but when it does happen, it’s the absolute best!❤❤❤❤❤Hope you had a Happy Father’s Day Tony.

[@suesteffy7568]

Santorini’s infrastructure is being overwhelmed. I was last there in 2022 and it was extremely crowded.

[@annettegrimes2931]

This is the 1st year I can’t wish my Dad a happy Father’s Day. 😢💔 it was a very emotional day for me. Happy Father’s Day to all you wonderful dads out there!

[@Allthathingss]

❤❤❤❤ I'm so very sorry.

[@BarbaraBarber-eb2mm]

All Dad really wants for Father's Day is an afternoon nap 😊❤😊❤

[@sparkleypegs8350]

Bingo!

[@sarasue56]

And before the nap, my dad played 18 holes of golf 😅

[@BarbaraBarber-eb2mm]

Doesn't get any better than that!

[@supkirsten]

Honestly, I’m a mom and all I really want it’s a nap for Mothers Day 😅😅😅

[@lindastradley9788]

"It was HOURS before he was seen!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂 I cracked up!! And I really needed that, because I just sent my 17-year-old Pomeranian to be with her Mama yesterday, and I REALLY needed something to laugh about!!!

[@ynkees1]

I lost my dad almost 3 years ago ( I was a Daddys girl) from dementia. It was hard, but i was lucky I got to have him for over 50 years. Happy belated Father's Day to you.

[@frankrosenbaum3471]

I guess your dad had a transparent personality in the ER. It took a second to get the joke. Thanks for the laugh!

[@csmith2435]

Definitely a DAD JOKE! Made me groan! Love it! Rock on! Shout out to La Lido Loca & Ludicrous!

[@heatherrehbein]

I lost my Dad this year and I hear ya Tony... I'd give just about anything to give him another hug and tell him "Happy Father's Day" He was part of the reason we got hooked on cruising. ☮

[@Bobrogers99]

I understand and appreciate ports that are restricting megaships. When one or two or three of these floating cities disgorge many thousands of passengers, what they will see is not an authentic place that made it worth visiting. It will be an artificial, made-for-tourist performance that expects some of the horde will spend money there. Small ships with small tour groups can go about a city without disrupting the everyday activities, and that's what I would be there to see. So I'm pleased when a port excludes the bigger ships so it won't be overrun and ruined if I want to visit.

[@michaelcolosi6550]

Tony! Many Thanks! Been watching Your Podcast for 3+ years, helping me thru my Life Threatening Cancer Treatments

[@maryanngambino7608]

Congratulations on having such a beautiful family! Happy belated Fathers Day!!!

[@pedanticmrpender]

Tony you got SIX kids! Wow! Happy (belated) Fathers Day!

[@janetj3072]

My late husband was very impatient about getting to and from places, so rather than book rental cars through the cruise he booked it separately to avoid waiting for shuttles etc. and we caught a cab from Miami cruise port, to the airport to pick up our reserved rental car there was some confusion they didn't seem to have our reservation, but we were able to get a car. On our return from our drive to the everglades where we encountered traffic backups we were not expecting, we returned the rental car to the rental office nearer the cruise port. Had trouble finding it in the days before GPS navigation and, since we picked up from a different (wrong) location. Had to call or flag down a cab to get us back to the cruise port, we almost missed the all aboard, and to top it off my husband's cruise Id had fallen out of his pocket somewhere in the everglades(returned a few days later on the cruise). This very stressful self arranged excursion transportation made me a fan of excursion through the cruise ship.

[@iwilpraiseu]

Thay has happened to me before. I ordered a cake from Publix and they couldn't find it until they looked in the other place. And they told me as well they keep them in 2 places and I had the same thought that you did but I went and told management because I was there waiting on it for so long

[@MrGavinspoppop]

Tony ... coming home from VIetnam my dad was sick ,,, he passed 30 days later ... he was waiting for me ... I was 21 like you so I get it buddy ... have a wonderful day !!

[@adventuresforthecurious]

Truly one of my favorite vlogs of yours! First, I am a subscriber, but I watch on tv, so I don't always take time to make a comment, but today I had to comment. I always love the cruise news and the way you deliver it, but I wish you had a second (actually I think it would be your third!) channel telling funny things/odd things in the non cruising world too! You are honestly very funny! I know when I watch that you will always bring a smile to my face. My husband (who is working in the other room and was only partially listening) said - That guy is seriously funny! - and, yes, he has seen most of your vlogs too, so he does appreciate your "regular" work. Thanks so much for all you do to keep us informed and entertained!

[@kontzel]

Thank you, Tony. This was the first year that I wasn't able to talk to my dad on the phone and wish him a Happy Father's Day. If you don't have a relationship with your father (toxic or abusive people don't deserve to get your time), tell the father figures in your life that you appreciate them.

[@sl4193]

Thank you for the news, appreciate your views Tony.

[@sfpbosb85]

Totally agree with you my friend. It’s been 19 years since my dad died and I would love just one more chance to say Happy Father’s Day to him.

[@bmills9821]

I wish my dad was still around. Just to say I love you to him again.

[@birbluv9595]

Excellent story about the birthday cake at Publix. This is why you can’t trust the young person at the counter, who may not know the peculiarities of the business. And thank you for telling everyone to say Happy Father’s Day - you don’t know if it will be the last time. I’m sorry, Tony, that you lost your father at such a young age.

[@williammiller5449]

Using shore power allows the Engineering Department to do maintenance on the ship's generators.

[@sleepytrucker3454]

Yes, possibly helpful, but they do maintenance without shore power all the time. They don't need all of the generators at the same time typically. or can plan around it to shut one down for maintenance.

[@sherylpolster5309]

We were in Santorini last fall. There were several ships in port, and the crowds were horrible.

[@nancydoyle7389]

I lost my dad at 22 also, 38 years ago. He was the best. I mean he was REALLY the best! and I miss him every day. But my husband enjoyed his day with 2 of our kids taking a boat ride on Lake Michigan with him. His dream day ❤🚤❤️

[@gabrielladiaz6933]

Tony you remind me of my father! He lad a litter of his own Father’s Day is a bash for us! Happy belated Father’s Day to you!! My dad became a new sub of yours!! Xoxo

[@TheOnlyLilithcat]

It's idiotic to get into a car with a random stranger. I've seen signs at airports saying something like, "Anyone who offers you a ride shouldn't be giving you one." Same goes for cruise ports.

[@germyw]

That’s actually what was happening before Uber showed up decided to monetize what people were doing for free.

[@robzilla69]

All people you get into cars with are strangers. Not all are random 😂

[@Dangic23]

That’s the definition of Uber and Lyft

[@mvlivinthedream9601]

Same for getting into a taxi.

[@tonialipsey5445]

Happy late Father’s Day! Glad you were able to have all your children together celebrating you.

[@sandycallin9367]

I love that they’re using shore power. When you leave Miami on a ship and look back at Miami, the smog is shocking. If this will cut back on that, that’s a good thing.

For a minute I didn't get the dad joke and thought you were giving us a reason to join the live so we could hear the end of the story🤣🤣. I'm so dumb sometimes. Your dad joke was on point.

[@benbarkley7092]

As dads we all do the best we can and hope to provide a better life for our children than we did. I lost my father when I was 7 and he was a truck driver so I saw him very little. I am thankful that he was doing his best to provide for his family!

[@susancook1448]

The hope of both Dads and Moms. ❤

[@leenoble796]

Be thankful you've had a father that was in your life for however long or short. They are a partner of giving you life

[@travisrevel3826]

Tony I can’t say enough how much your words of wisdom around Father’s Day meant to me thank you 😊

[@stevemcgowen]

Christmastime here in Prague is pretty amazing. The whole city gets decorated, there's extra kiosks for food and other products at the Christmas markets, which smell great. along with mulled wine. Restaurants have Christmas themed dinners- goose, ham, turkey. There's even trams decorated for Christmas. You wouldn't know the Czech Republic is the least religious country in Europe by the amount of Christmastime festivities.

[@Brooke-ul5hq]

I went to the taxi stand at Port of Seattle and still received a phony taxi. Vehicle was marked as a taxi and there was a meter going but when we go to the airport he demanded cash.

[@TheOneillej]

Shore power is just a way to get the cruise lines to buy electricity from the port instead of providing their own. BTW: that was KISS

[@karenjordan5731]

That was so funny, i am still chuckling. Loved your show today! ❤

[@MargaretKelly-Gorbett]

Last story made me laugh out loud. Lost my Father in 1984 when I wa 24. Miss him every day.

[@julieb7882]

Our daughter made the 2 hour drive home for Father's Day but not Mother's Day. Must have been because he grilled wagu steaks, and I don't cook on mom's day. It was a wonderful, good family day.

[@Dangic23]

Wagyu! Wow I only bought Wagyu twice a year when I lived in CO, CA and FL. Now I live in Tokyo and eat it 3 times a week 😂. So good. And it’s only about $7 for a pound.

[@julieb7882]

@Dangic23 not sure of the price per pound the girls.just told me the wagu sirloin was the same as regular ribeyes. It was delicious.

[@Dangic23]

@@julieb7882 It’s usually $50 a pound in the states if it’s real Wagyu.

[@julieb7882]

@Dangic23 now that you say that, I remember they said the ribeyes were on sale for $40 a pound.

[@ridgetaylor60]

We were in Santorini last fall. The tram line was 45 minutes to an hour and the same coming down. We gave up on going up top. We’ve been before so it wasn’t a huge deal. Best to book a shore excursion.

[@csawserv]

Dude, you need to do a standup tour on a cruise ship!

[@brucepobanz]

😮. Reminds me of the van that says FREE CANDY picking up little children

[@Komainu959]

I think it's good that places limit how many ships can go to port. I was on the Celebrity Millennium (2100 passengers) and HAL Zaandam (1500) and they were both from around 2000. At the time they were average sized ships with the highest capacity at the time being around 3300 capacity. Now the largest ship can haul 7600 passengers...more than TWO Millennium and TWO Zaandam in port at once. There is no way that creates a good experience for cruisers who want to explore the port and I cannot imagine locals are very happy either.

[@aprilbergstrasser443]

Great Father's Day joke. I loved it.😂

[@kellyssong]

Thank you, Tony. My dad died when I was in my early twenties, also. I miss him everyday.

[@carolr9301]

I was on a cruise in Haugesund, Norway on P & O Britannia. We tried shore power for the first time, whilst it was successful. Disconnecting caused problems with lifts being stuck and orders being lost.

As for Seattle - it depends on whether your doing Pier 66 or Smith Cove on the Cruise Terminal Lots. I've definitely been attempted to be poached at Smith Cove - Pier 91 on the walk from the cruise ships to the uber lot.

[@SandNSurf]

Holy cow, the birthday cake caper 🙃. Shame on Publix. I was blessed enough to have my Dad until he was 92 years old. I miss him terribly every day, my Mom as well. Some people never get to meet a Hero, I was so blessed to be raised my my Hero, an American Hero. My Dad was in some very bad places during WWII. He served our country for eight years. He then served our city for 32 years on the San Diego Fire Department. My Mom is my Hero as well, because being a military wife and fireman wife takes love and dedication. I was a military wife as well. My Marine husband, no longer here 😔, was a Vietnam Veteran. My brother served in Vietnam, my son served in Kosovo. I have 14 wonderful Veterans in my family. I apologize for rambling, Tony. I get way off track. I’m just so proud of all of my Veterans, and all Veterans 🇺🇸🦅❤️🙏

My father passed this February due to complications from dementia. I'd give anything to tell him I loved him and happy father's day again.

I'm glad they want to limit ships. We went to Costa Maya. We were on msc and one other shop was there. You're talking about 10,00 people in Port. It's horrible. We didn't want to be there.
