As a 28-year Navy veteran and having sailed 30 times with Carnival, I have attended many of these Military Appreciation gatherings. I think it is ludicrous to suggest that they only be opened to veterans. If that was the case, my wife and children couldn't attend with me? A proud parent couldn't acknowledge their son or daughter who has served in the military? If you are onboard Carnival and just want to meet and greet with your fellow veterans, they also have a Veteran's table every day where you can go and hang out with your fellow vets. Carnival does and outstanding job honoring veterans and their families; keep it that way!

[@meandhimintn6772]

Ditto from a fellow veteran

[@HeatherGemmen]

There are plenty of Americans who haven't served but would like to be veterans. Thank you for your service, and I mean that.

[@donnaschuepbach3830]

I totally agree!

[@ABC.abcdefg]

Shout out to Ludicrous.

[@k9tide]

The military gathering is for everyone and I encourage others to come observe. There is a lot that those that weren’t in the military can participate in. I was at one a year ago and when they called for Marines to stand I reconnected with a guy I hadn’t seen since 1996! Was a great reunion.

[@curtissalden]

Love the sound of what Carnival is doing for our veterans. Keep it up just as your are doing it.

[@StephannieThreatt]

I had the honor of supporting my daughter on a carnival cruise during this recognition! Way to go Carnival. Thank you for thanking them for their service.

[@boats2build629]

The Military Appreciation should remain open to anyone. It is intended for anyone who wants to celebrate military service. They also usually acknowledge 1st Responders, Medical Personnel, teachers, and others. In these events, I have heard stories from family members of those who served and either died while in service or who have since passed due to other reasons. Those people definitely deserve a right to come into these events and celebrate their family members. As long as Carnival is verifying the military status of all winners of any prize given, keep the event open to everyone.

[@stephancox9105]

I've been to the Military Appreciation event. I never served, but I had family who did (including veterans of WWII and Vietnam), so I go to honor them.

[@themoldcars]

Don't ever be sorry for going down Dad Lane Tony.

[@kpalmer49]

I think it is great that the veteran appreciation get together is open to all so people can thank and appreciate what these veterans and military personnel have done and doing.

[@Janet-w2m]

Went on VV cruise in June. It was great! No kids! I would definitely go on VV to Alaska! Voyagers were great and the crew absolutely fabulous!

[@johnlavilla]

I attended at Veteran Recognition on the Horizon eariler this month. My wife and I both served and we feel that it should be open to everyone. Every time I see them announce a winner for the free cruise there was an image of that person in uniform.

[@Lamb9491]

Sorry about your dad. Memories are always with us

[@BirdsNNVA]

My dad served in the Army Air Corps in Italy from 1943 to 1946. He was drafted and i think he had some PTSD from the whole experience. I am proud of his service. I think it’s wonderful that a cruise line honors veterans this way. Most veterans have really suffered in some way due to their service, and they deserve to be recognized.

[@donb2480]

I had it several years ago. It takes lungs a long time to heal. I like the spa whirlpool.

[@debbiekeltz-wolk7691]

Royal Caribbean also did a military appreciation even on our Alaska cruise and it was really well done. So many people attended it and paid their respects to those who served in a respectful manner. I was there because my grandfather served in the Canadian military. Anyone should be able to attend if they want to.

[@joethecomputerguy1]

It's open door to the VIFP reception too. No need to verify it on the way in. So of us just want to pay respect to those who have served our military.

[@allangriffin5328]

My dad also had legionnaires back in the 80’s. Cruising this weekend out of Miami on the Sunrise.

[@ambiejinx0229]

10:00 absolutely. Was on their cruise almost 2 weeks ago and still thinking about the food and vibes.❤

[@smokeyjoe1953]

QUESTION: How are they able to say “completely” green? The electricity has to come from somewhere…….

[@maryanncapece2623]

Hi Tony. I've had legionnaires, it was pretty scary. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks. Also out of work for 8 weeks. Shore power is great. Glad to see line's are getting on board with helping the environment. Yes, ship's aren't going anywhere near there is a chance of problems. VV going to Alaska. It's wonderful that Carnival has this meeting and recognizes members of the military. Thank you to all our military. As always thank you for all you do ❤

[@LaLidoLoca]

Glad you are on the mend!

[@sarahgupton2552]

I see no reason not to include guests or family of service members, but free cruises should be for military members. Sounds like Carnival is handling that well.

[@rayjarrett1995]

My wife and I almost always go to the military appreciation gathering even though neither of us have served. We go to show our appreciation, I thought that was what it was for. My Father served in WWII and my uncle was killed in action as a tail gunner in a B-17 Bomber.

[@barbarawhitecotton9548]

My husband served 2 tours of duty in Vietnam and came home to people spitting at him. So happy that Carnival recognizes veterans and we always attend when we cruise. So happy to see that others appreciate our veterans at these events!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@queetbeet312]

Hey hey hey LocaFam ❤

[@seatrees2087]

I wish there were more cruises to nowhere or just to the private islands. I would love more sea days.

[@karenjensen2345]

Take a trans Atlantic or trans pacific 😊

[@bloodycrepe]

100%. I only take cruises with some sea days, as many as possible. Never been interested in getting off the vessel at ports with thousands of other people.

[@bloodycrepe]

​@@karenjensen2345no, Karen, that's not the same. Not to mention relocation cruises are rare and take place at certain times of the year when many of us can't go.

[@jdwold1118]

Back in 2019 I did a back to back cruise on the Norwegian Cruise Line Jewel. Total 43 days with 24 sea days. That is why I booked it.

[@ninerjen1]

Just signed up for PiAccess. Thanks Tony.

[@jackredmond6023]

It will be interesting to see when they plug that Icon of the Seas into shore power. I’m hoping that we don’t have a Christmas Vacation moment when Clark finally got his “twinkle” lights working! 😁

[@colinsmith6480]

I WASNT ABLE TO SERVE, BUT WHY SHOULD I NOT BE ABLE TO SHOW MY RESPECT AND SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO DID SERVE !

[@debraleonard2440]

My brother is a Vietnam vet and I accompany him to almost everything. I think as long as the winner has a valid veterans id. They should be eligible to win.

[@connie_360]

I think it's fantastic that cruise lines are giving away free cruises to service members. I’d love to see the recognition they truly deserve, and I wonder if these events will be open for everyone to come and show their support. It’s about time we honor their service more meaningfully, as society often overlooks their sacrifices. 🥰🥰

[@KarynHill]

I didn't know Carnival did that. Next time I cruise with them, I'm going to look for it. I'd like the opportunity to applaud our vets.

[@robinmcalpine8231]

I don't carry my DD214 with me to prove my service in order to attend the military appreciation. It should be an open forum as many families attend to support their loved ones.

[@jeffmagill8703]

Afternoon Loca Fam!

[@kilrathi827]

Really excited about Virgin Voyages starting to go to Alaska. We haven't booked one of those trips yet, but we HAVE very much enjoyed cruising with Virgin. I expect they'll do a great job with those itineraries.

[@debbiec4126]

My hubby is retired Army. We have been on numerous Carnival cruises and I attend with him on the day they have the recognition. I think they do an excellent job supporting the military. We have never been there for a drawing but documentation should be provided by the person winning the cruise.

[@BobK58]

LOL! When I was in the service it was "Sailors and dogs stay off the grass".

[@JoelFinkel]

I sailed on Virgin Voyages once and, even at age 68, had a great time. I would eagerly sail with them to Alaska, even though I've already been there twice on Holland America.

[@Harold-u8c]

Don’t dunk your head under hot tub water, shower as soon as possible when returning to the cabin from using hot tub. I wonder if the private hot tubs are monitored for chlorine ppm. The main tubs and pools have sensors in the plumbing that read this and adjust chemicals as needed.

[@charlottedowns6652]

Hi Tony! Great video, I always enjoy your enthusiasm and happy spirit! Have a wonderful day!

[@dogzdad123]

Tony: Speaking of dangerous places to visit...I saw online that Viking river cruises are planning to reinstate their Nile river itinerary. Considering all the unrest in that part of the world, it sounds like a "ballsy" decision????

[@sdssmith5044]

Princess just notified me that my cruise out of Galveston on Regal was canceled for November 3

[@amythomas-rz9gg]

How would it be recognition and appreciation of service members, if it is only recognized or appreciated by other former service members?

[@miner49er98]

Holland America Princess is currently installing Shore Power in Whittier, Alaska. Conduit & foundations are in.

[@Lynn-kh5rs]

I have recently been looking into Virgin as a possible cruise and with them adding an Alaska cruise makes them even more interesting for me. I'm not a hot weather/beach person and as much as I would love to visit Europe I have some physical limitations that make any plane ride over 6 hours unbearable. I am definitely going to look into their Alaska itinerary.

[@jamesgardner578]

Hey Tony there’s another one on streaming service is the flight attendant!!!

[@ozzie7475]

All Military serving and retired have ID that can be checked on board or anywhere.

[@tikibeach]

On the shore power issue we need this explaining clearly so everyone gets to understand. A typical cruise ship needs a lot of power for everyday operations while alongside. Plugging in means the cities grid is providing the power. This in turn gets charged to the cruise line. Ultimately this large scale use of shore power means the grid is 'making' more electricity causing more potential polution at the power stations. (these may be coal fired stations) So not so friendly. A bit like an electric car, you plug it into the grid...it's really not green! Add to this the cruise ship is not going to shut down it's engines entirely or it's generators as it's not like turning off a small speedboat outboard motor! They will likely still be running at some 50 - 70% capacity most likely. So is it really so green? I think not. This is a means for cruise lines to help themselves to a better maintenence schedule as they turn off one unneeded generator and perform said maintenence while in port, and of course use less expensive fuel. So overall advantage the cruise line but green? No not really.

[@brucegordon4992]

The good news is that Port Miami has electrical hookups for even the biggest cruise ships. The bad news is about 30% of the electricity in Dade County (and a lot more when Turkey Point is off line) comes from the FPL plant near Krome Avenue that burns used tires instead of coal.

[@kimberleywilder6229]

It says this disease can be contracted through humidifiers, air conditioners, showers etc., but it cannot be transferred from person to person. Still! Scary. I use an air conditioner if it’s available and obviously I shower 😊ugh… I’m a hypo. I’m due to sail tomorrow on Halloween 👻 this trip has been something already.

[@TheOnlyLilithcat]

If the point of the Military appreciation gathering is, indeed, to show appreciation to those who served, why shouldn't non-military folks express that as well?

[@crimlarksSteve]

Princess changed their 2026 World Cruise itinerary to avoid the Red Sea. Instead of going thru the Red Sea, it is going to more stops in Australia and New Zealand in addition to many Far East destinations and Japan, then coming thru the Alaskan ports and eventually winding up in LA. The length of the cruise has increased from 114 days to 131.

[@GayesyJ]

Props to you for your correct pronunciation of Melbourne! 😎 Very few US citizens get that right! You should be proud! ☺️ Btw I grew up there and it’s a lovely place, although the Winters are pretty miserable. Brisbane is way nicer. I love it here! 😎☺️

[@jenmikemongeau1661]

IMAGINE the size of the electrical plug for the Icon of the Seas. LOL.

[@heideleskun1163]

That guy went OVERBOARD. Seriously stand down man. I honor those who served even though I didn't but my dad did. These folks are bogus and need to Knock It Off. They are the ones ruining our military service members.

[@kathleenm6949]

My dad calls the Honor thieves. It happens all the time.

[@davidjames6879]

My beloved wife was a millitary veteran but, unfortunately passed away last month. We had a cruise scheduled in 2025 and i notified the cruise line (daughter now replacing my spouse) that she had passed, and with that, removed a military discount we had. I wasn't upset; a little surprised, maybe, that we couldn't retain it posthumously, but I didn't make any pretense that it should remain on the account. She earned it and deserved it and it probably shouldn't go to me. Raised the cruise price a but, but still going, so no disappointment.

[@WilliamBarr-c3l]

NCL validates Veterans using IDMe

[@HueManna]

Not interested in Virgin cruises in Alaska after trying them in Miami. Adult only cruise sounds good, but sadly the reality in our experience was like "adult only" stores or businesses.

[@DebbieHawkins-id3dk]

No we would not go on Virgin anywhere we were on Valiant Lady last year worst cruise for us ever.

[@tod2992]

Just bring a copy of your DD214 if you needed proof

[@illtax05]

My drivers license indicates I’m a veteran.

[@tod2992]

@illtax05 interesting 🤔. I have the enhanced drivers license, but I wasn't aware I could have it noted as a veteran as well

[@illtax05]

@ I live in Florida and don’t remember what I had to do to have my veterans status put on my drivers license. Check with DMV.

[@marychrishannon7048]

Having come of age during the Vietnam war, I was at the time anti military. However, at the same time, I was in college with Vietnam veterans who quickly explained that the people in the military were not the problem. We need to honor our veterans for their service.

[@jamesthompson3099]

The only way to conform service is a DD-214. Very few folks will carry them unless the cruise line notifies everyone well before sailing to bring a copy if they have one.

[@CPO-Snarky]

Retired Military ID card. Some states issue a veteran designation on driver’s license after verification of service. No need to tote a DD-214 around.

[@SandyBanks-vk5dl]

What about filling the hot tubs with salt water?

[@seanwhent9588]

I liked Virgin but I do think feel like their party vibe fits in Alaska.

[@Jeff-rm2ox]

I guessed it would be Virgin Voyages since I'm booked on the Repositioning Cruise from L.A. to Vancouver.

[@billcook4768]

Cruising is way too dangerous. Everybody who can needs to cancel their cruises. And if that just happens to force the lines to lower prices….

[@greggm6614]

Can I have some of what you're smoking Bill? I would then type LUDICROUS nonsense like you just did

[@kathleenkrueger6989]

Hi Tony I'm not sure I would like a cruise without children around

[@sightseewithcc7491]

Virgin Voyages to Alaska will be quite interesting. Their party atmosphere and people waking up early to see wildlife and go on excursions in pretty cold weather, does not seem to be a match, but I guess we will wait and see 🤔

[@elnamayberry]

I always stay clear of public hot tubs, perhaps out of an abundance of caution, but if they are not clean or hot enough, they can harbour many types of trouble.

[@tikibeach]

I operate two hotels and my heating engineer tells me what temperature is required at all times in the plumbing system. Vital to keep the public safe. Also cruise ships should be emptying hot tubs , cleaning and refilling before the start of each cruise. I wonder...do they do this?

[@lynnethurmond4849]

Googling Virgin/Alaska now

[@timmoore3666]

Hello Tony

[@luciejackson2164]

Can’t wait to try virgin in Alaska

[@jameswade7550]

Hey Tony, its interesting they are saying this outbreak (if you call it that) is coming from suites and expensive cruise line. Now I do get a spa package most times I cruise, but it's strange that there no problem in these spa hot tubs.

[@dvandkq]

Having a "dirty hull" caught the Disney Wonder in Australia last season as well. Excited Virgin Voyages is coming to Seattle! Virgin + MSC is going to make for a more diverse Alaska cruise market!

[@kathleenm6949]

I want to do an Alaskan cruise. Just worried about transportation from airport to port. I hear it’s over a 2 hour ride. Got to do more research on shutting service.

[@RotaryTeamVincent]

I believe more organizations should include Police and EMS in with military veterans.

[@marychrishannon7048]

It doesn't make sense to me that only other military personnel should honor other military personal. A Military Appreciation event should be for non-military people to honor military people. While there might be some "fake" military at the event, I am pleased that the cruise line makes sure that only a real military person is able to win the free cruise.

[@janinecroteau5946]

We have our own tub at home and the rule for this tub is that you add sanitization chemicals after every use. The number of people in a tub can throw off sanitization at any time. Unless I carry test strips to test the water for appropriate chlorine and ph levels, I will not be getting into a public tub. You can also get skin infections from inadequately sanitized tubs. After using our own tub we shower and carefully rinse out our bathing suits.

[@heartlandservicesgroup]

Ok, way impresssed now Tony. You know how to pronounce Melbourne Right!!!! Well done sir!

[@AutumnMarshall-ef1ep]

I would definitely book a Virgin cruise to Alaska.

[@4DSt]

I would go to Alaska anytime! However, Virgin would not be my choice.

[@michaelalbert5518]

So is Miami going to have rolling black/brown outs to support this additional huge power draw?

[@jfk609]

Thanks Tony, I avoid hot tubs some like them but no thanks.

[@RobertWhite-pz9wx]

Virgin - absolutely.

[@deniseyoung3738]

I would get on a Virgin Cruise there, I would get on them anywhere!

[@kpalmer49]

I am not interested in cruising with Virgin but that is just my decision.

[@mecadude]

Good job Dropping those lb's bro 🎉🎉🎉

[@davee8113]

Private balcony hot tubs do not go through the rigorous water purification that public hot tubs do

[@debbieserwe2242]

Did you know that Princess also chcanged their 2026 World cruise to Circle the Pacific

[@sarahgupton2552]

Stolen valor refers to someone who falsely claims past or present military service. It’s very clear.

[@sarahgupton2552]

Hot tubs. No surprise. Wouldn’t go near a hot tub.

[@oldguy9078]

As a veteran myself I always keep a copy of my DD-214 in my wallet just in case there are any questions.

[@beachbum333]

Ill bring my pool test kit next time. 😎🚢. Peace.

[@campaignteam]

Close

[@carolinedelossantos5931]

Regal Princess just cancelled again for Nov 3

[@NFHRR]

Thr events are for everyone to celebrate our fellow Vets. We go to every one when we sail. Person sounded like he was mad he didn't win...lol

[@yvonnecooper9619]

Experiencing cruise news withdrawal. On the Azamara Journey. Having an issue trying to figure out when I can watch.

[@carolwint6563]

I want to cruise to Alaska. I would try VV!

[@kathycush]

I just got back from an Alaskan Cruise. It was amazing.

[@yolandarouser1413]

I have always called hot tubs petri dishes and NEVER got in one. My point is proven.

[@markeaston7353]

I've been to Eden many times and if anyone offered me $250 to not stop there I would take it in a heart beat.
