Come back to Australia 🎉

[@tarshnottrash1483]

Every time a watch a video…I just smile for a while… your loving energy is contagious & uplifting even when your just on the lowdown

[@jameswooten8840]

We just booked London to Miami for our 30th anniversary on NCL Bliss next Feb same room. Thanks for the video.

[@atomicrancher3745]

I’ll be on that cruise with you. Looking forward to it!

[@retrodude9185]

Good morning from Australia, not far from the Big potato 🥔 😂 Another great upload.

[@DamagedDingo]

I went out to Fitzroy falls and it was so nice I went back with a friend the next weekend, and somehow I drove past it 3 times before noticing the big spud. It was raining so I didn’t grab a selfy maybe next time.

[@shhulihee3330]

Haha you guys made me laugh so hard I almost choked on my dinner. 😂. Those face masks! So nice to see you relax a bit after being on the go so much and Cheveyo having food poisoning. You make me want to go on a cruise now when I never had the desire. The cruise line should hire you to promote cruises for young people. Great video! Enjoyed it so much.

[@nataliem5329]

I remember we got a last minute repositioning deal with a Norwegian ship from Copenhagen to LA...at just US $15 per day per person!!! They can be such a great way to travel

[@latebloomerabroad]

When I was young, I cried every time I had to disembark from a cruise. I may not cry anymore, but I feel like it! 😭

[@barry.m9681]

You guys make me so happy and always keep a smile on my face ❤ from 🇦🇺

[@danielbertsch8291]

Nice to see you both well and rested. As to what is next? I’ve asked myself 66 times and can’t come up with a clue! 😉 Drive safely!

[@heatherreynolds1771]

I knew it! Tia actually made it pretty obvious, I thought ;)

[@tbillington]

Doing my first international trip with only a backpack in a fortnight inspired by you two. Looking forward to it, but not sure how to deal with laundry. Would love to hear from you guys if you've got a system down after a couple of years.

[@lukapanz9295]

It was nice watching a day in the life of the one pack wanderers, loved this video!

[@srjwaugh]

Good morning Tia And Cheveyo from here in Australia; unlucky you are not here atm, the weather is amazing 20°C here in Canberra @4:00am

[@Shift0231]

Happy Monthiversary guys - way to celebrate! I’ve been on a couple of cruises and recommend them for complete relaxation - no cooking, cleaning or driving, no worries about drink driving and having to rely on Ubers and you only have to unpack once the whole trip! So nice to see you so relaxed and the closest I’ve seen you enjoying a ‘real’ holiday! The ocean looks relatively calm too! The sheet mask scene had me totally cracked up - well played and executed! Cheveyo gave me ‘Jason’ vibes (Friday the 13th). So excited if you are doing Route 66 - cannot wait!

[@belindahutchinson5333]

Wow looks like you are having a great time! Happy and healthy.. keep enjoying. Thanks for sharing ❤😜👍

[@sharonfraser7667]

One of the things I love about the two of you is how you take each experience and country on its own merits. We see so many Americans moving or travelling to other countries on utube or tv shows and the first thing they do is complain about things not being like home and sometimes not very nicely. You both are so genuine and show respect for wherever you are in the world.

[@margenn3889]

Yes you are so right.

[@cookeingwithme]

We miss you guys in australia

[@claireb9430]

Will you be heading to a Diner in Chicago? Great video. You needed a holiday to build yourselves up for the next 3 years of travelling. I wear pressure bands when I cruise. Marvellous invention.

[@pakjohn48]

what a nasty hint - I've been combing the transcript for the next adventure but no luck yet. However what I do know is that One Pack is the best travel vlog by far and I'll be there, no worries. Thank you, Tia and Cheveyo. 😃

[@carolcarol3938]

I think I know what the clue meant .... but I won't spoil it (assuming I'm anywhere near what it is) :)

[@WombatCombat-YT]

Well, this seems a bit freaky. My wife and I are going on a repositioning cruise from Australia to Hawaii on the 4th of April. From there we are flying to New York, Nashville, New Orleans, San Antonio and then to Chicago. It is there that we will hire a car and try to do as much of the original Route 66 as we can, all the way down to Los Angeles. Then it's a quick visit to Las Vegas and San Francisco before heading home. This 2 month vacation took us 2 years of planning, but we are so excited now and if your plans are to do Route 66, we'll be watching every step of your journey. (We'll still watch your video even if you go somewhere else).

[@LindsayLohan1]

You guys are really fun, love seeing the places you visit and you both seem very pleasant. :) Subbed.

[@stevemunachen]

Route 66 baby!

[@jillkimball]

Please stop in Flagstaff, guys! I live here and I think you’d love the many lovely trails and cool breweries!

[@RoamSweetRoam.]

I love Tia's laugh, especially when you guys had on the face masks! She will keep you young at heart. Very enjoyable video to watch.

[@jattikuukunen]

This was fun to watch, but I feel I would go mad on a ship like this. In fact, it feels like you went a bit towards the end of the video. :D

[@googleuser2170]

Pro-tip, try to connect with the workers and they can provide you special and spicier food for free. We are from Malaysia and can talk with a lot of the crew from Indonesia since our languages are almost the same. We also made friends with all the Indian chef and they all provided us with legit local-style food they provide to the staff behind the scenes.

[@ElGordo1959]

The facials made you look like extras out of Cats! Hilarious 😂

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

Cheveyo's reaction (and the editing) to Tia's jokes (50's diner reaction 🤣) always makes me smile - and I always have to watch it again. He reminds me so much of my brother, whom I don't get to see often. And then there was that "G'day guys" at the end!!!! You really could be my brother 🙃🤣

[@Steven91637]

Awesome this Vessel was built in Germany 🇩🇪 by the Meyer Werft Shipyard Company in Papenburg Germany 🇩🇪 State of the Art built quality Made in Germany 🇩🇪 😊

[@Buzzinga248]

I loved the masks, but Cheveyo looks like Chewbacca in his. I love your stories, hi from Ballarat Australia.

[@Infernus25]

Found you guys from your visit to Copenhagen. Looks like a pretty fun way to travel and actually not too pricey like you guys said.

[@muncheesuppar]

there is nothing gross about celebrating your wonderful relationship . it is very nice to see.

[@lindseyirene]

The face masks killed me😂 very excited to see the next adventure … a particular road trip perhaps?

[@digimaze]

So glad to see you have 11 days off and time to refresh and relax :)

[@carokat1111]

As an introvert, a big cruise ship like that has no appeal to me, but very interesting to see it. Thanks for the masks - haven't laughed like that in a while!

[@4LayersOfStrength]

"Gday guys!" Hello from Australia 🇭🇲I'll take a stab in the dark and guess that Tia's subtle hint (where you are travelling to next) can be seen in the final minutes of the vlog (wearing the face masks) which coincidentally happens to be the funniest travel blog scene I've seen ever/in a long while. Congratulations on your month-e-versary!

[@ivanmazur9551]

ive watched a lot of travel vlogs on youtube but your the only travel vlog i look forward to when you upload a vid. Keep up the great work cant wait to see what else you got planned.😎😎

[@TrevorSampson1955]

Yes, that's one of the best videos yet, so much love, joy and calmness projected onto my screen. I must say the face masks section was a hoot, such joy, you had me chuckling too. May I say the video quality is brilliant, on my big tv at home the clarity is better than most movies I watch, really great quality you are using. Well done Tia, from being in New Zealand to creating a cruise from the UK to the USA, then planning your way thru multiple European countries to arrive at the cruise on time, that takes a high level of planning and courage, well done. I recon the bit in the middle about the Australian dollar means your coming back down under this year. Whooo, us Aussies loves ya, safe travels, love and light, cheers from Perth, Western Australia.

[@stayawakenhealthy2539]

All your vids are such a joy to watch Tia and Cheveyo. 💯💯💕💕 "Keep on Travelling" #onepackwanderers Pete from Australia.

[@realitywinner7582]

Thank You - God Bless ye're energy !

[@GillGillyBean]

Loved your cruise video. I’ve cruised many times & love how relaxing it is. You got your fare for a good price. Glad you enjoyed it. Loved your face masks 😂 Love from 🇦🇺 🚢 xx

[@flyonawall6521]

Route 66 trip next! (?)

[@TheEmptyHoliness]

FIRST VIEW!!!! IT WAS ME!!! WOOHOO

[@OnePackWanderers]

Got it 😎

[@davidstulc]

Great first, intro shot! And the scene with the facial “wellness” is just hilarious 🤣😂🤣 Next time you are in Europe you have to visit Slovenia, especially the Soċa Valley 🇸🇮 - just not in July or August! 😉

[@KandMe1]

I was on a ship that had a fire onboard but we were in port at the time in Durban. And it added 2 weeks to the trip which was UK to NZ. So being a school age human it meant we had the longest summer holiday in the history of the world. That is because by the time we got back to New Zealand it was just 2 more weeks until the end of the year which was a 6 or 7 week summer holiday. So we effectively had a holiday that started in August of one year and ended February of the next year with over half of it on a cruise ship. No school just holiday heaven and lots of exotic ports.

[@Deniz-kl9jk]

Happy Monthiversary Tia & Cheveyo! Glad to see Cheveyo recovered from his bout of food poisoning! Loved the cruise video and I hope to see you both return to Australia, and take the Spirit of Tasmania! Tasmania is still waiting for you to explore it! Cheers, Dennis

[@annethall]

First video I've seen and now subscribed. You two are adorable esp Tia. In 40 years or so you will look back on this time and realize it was the best time ever.

[@joanevans3872]

Loved your video. but thought you would do better on VIRGIN CRUISES moe your age group - have you tried virgin?

[@ceriosborne394]

I'm going to guess your next adventure is Route 66 (by motorbike with Cheveyo's dad?) ... 🤔

[@freelancekate8919]

Was the subtle clue the Canadian flag in the background?

[@janeabbotts]

Thank you. I was on my stationery bike with you guys... I'm still at it🥵😀

[@arealbasshole]

00:52 I feel you on the sea sickness...the one time I tried it I got sick while we were still moored at the dock...lol

[@modfus]

What a beautiful ship. Such a pleasant way to travel. Have fun you two🙂

[@josephforest7605]

I have crossed on The Queen Mary 2 and The Norwegian Escape .The winner Norwegian .

[@SikfanKitchen]

I think it’s so cool that you’ve met a BFF from the gym you can share traveling stories with!

[@Backnine907]

You guys are hilarious! TIA is an absolute doll!

[@KattSavesCT]

What month was this? We have a 14 day transatlantic cruise at the end of April next year and I don’t know what to pack

[@brendalogan6281]

no Starlink?

[@PWC67]

Much nicer than the shitty Royal Princess I recently travelled on !

[@sirgalahad1470]

Is there no good wifi at all on the ship ? I want to try this while working remote but I would have to be online for 8 hours a day

[@Amira-ir6sb]

Thank you for sharing Did you use a travel agent

[@FraggleHammer]

Guessing the hint was Sushi and you're going to Japan?

[@MattBlankenshipPhotography]

Like #184 from Gilbert Arizona,🎉❤🛳️

[@ohdiverdoc]

Done three transatlantic crossing, like your trip. Had a wonderful trip each time and met so many great people and delightful crew members. Played a bunch of trivia, saw all the shows, and did a lot of reading with a tasty drink in hand.

[@joanevans3872]

however for a 'young couple' think Virgin Voyages would be better

[@PeteV.53]

Fun fact: the only big scale, ocean-going vessels (civilian and military) that are called "boats"are submarines. All others are "ships".

[@PeteV.53]

@@mattsmith3135 ocean liner, container carrier, roll-on-roll off, ore carrier etc etc are all types of ships.

[@leighmilne33]

Route 66 for sure

[@curiousnomadic]

That's not bad, 11 days, plus travel plus food.

[@The_NomadNinja]

Tia and Cheveyo are officially senior citizens at sea :D

[@Dean-O-Holics]

Their older than you cuz most people are at work 😜

[@brianward7724]

Wow, that's some ship! I guess I missed the point of those 'face masks' but it's was a fun thing to show us. The ship must have been going pretty slowly, to take 11 days for.... ha, I found a calculator..... 11 days from Southampton to Miami equates to about 18 knots. Very 'cruisy'!

[@Rmeister23]

We’re doing transatlantic on the NCL encore and NEED internet to work during the sea days. Can you confirm it was available and working at all? That’s our one concern. Thanks!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Yea the internet worked well when he used it.

[@DavidKearns4]

Your ship may have seemed large, but it's rather medium sized. Max guest capacity is 3,776 - Royal Carribean just launched the largest vessel at sea for cruising (currently in March 2024) the Icon of the Seas with a max guest capacity of 7,600 - just over double the ship you were on...

[@MrJames_1]

Talking chandeliers and a possible cheap-ish stopover on the way through the UAE to anywhere, might be the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. It's amazing, and all are welcome, including your camera. Stay till dusk for some nice shots too. Also, it wasn't there when I was last in UAE but I'd love the photograph the outside of the 'Museum of the Future' in Dubai, dubbed the 'most beautiful building in the world' (prob by the UAE). I hired a car and made a day trip to Abu Dhabi from Dubai. They drive on the wrong side of the road like you two ;-) Keep having fun 🤩😍

[@dillp671]

"Don't touch my flaps."

[@markfellows74]

Good to catch up and see what you guys have been up to recently. Looks like you enjoyed a relatively smooth sailing across the Atlantic. And of course welcome back to Australia anytime.

[@MillaExplores]

Omg the face mask 😂😂😂

[@LJSpit]

You guys are adorable.

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

You did say ship tour and not shi# tour. 😂

[@RatFink-nr5td]

I just so enjoyed that video. You guys rekindled a memory, and what could be better than that?....Oh yes, your experience was 10 times better than my memory. So, great job! Looking forward to that next adventure...in the US???

[@geoff2196]

What a top video for viewing. Easy to see what a worthwhile "time out" way to travel for you both. Would love a cruise myself, plenty of time for reading a good book or two. You mentioned the cost for the cruise but for the majority of your travels you budget constantly and try hard to live and travel within your budgets. So, it's good to have such a great splurge on yourselves. Forget the "Masked Avengers", you are both the "Masked Adventurers"😄As always, travel safe❤

[@Mrfrontrow]

I hope you guys have a great time. I've been on 18 or 19 cruises and yes people are generally really friendly and talkative. My wife and I did a transatlantic back in November from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale. Took 2 weeks aboard the Celebrity Apex. You got a great deal. Repositioning cruises are usually the best deals out there. We are booked for a transpacific for 29 nights in September. From LA to Sydney on the Royal Princess. It's just a bit over $100 a day per person. All the best to you from San Diego, CA.

[@gerardwhite.]

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. It looks like you managed to take some time to just relax. I cruised NCL last year, and yes the food, even at the buffet was good. I think the age demographic was mainly due to it being a repositioning cruise.

[@MyChannel-di2ho]

ROUTE 66 road trip!!!! I am so jealous . How did you find your cruise? you said its a cheaper trip with less people???

[@AshiyaWhitley-ShawVeganAthlete]

18:35 the moment that you earned a new subscriber!😂 I go on my first trans Atlantic cruise next year! I am so excited! You two are the first ones that I’ve seen, that actually Are detailed about your days. I am very much like you when I go on cruises also, nothing in excess, I like to keep a routine.

[@stuarthancock571]

Okay, got me watching again for the clue....got it with the wink.

[@Ninchi_TrueCrime]

OMG! It’s only Friday here in Australia & we get to catch up with you guys already 🤩🤩🤩

[@kieransmith1796]

You guys should go to south Asia. India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Maybe even Pakistan. Completely different world, although Africa is awesome as well.

[@nmdc93]

Will never cruise again lol. Was unaware that certain cruise ship companies cater to different age groups. My partner and I did Princess cruises and we were the youngest on the ship by about 70 years. Nothing but fat, retired, shirtless old people. Even had a DISCO on board. Not a night club, a disco...

[@andreworwin9700]

Had the pleasure of working for RCCL for several contracts. We took the Jewel of The Seas on a repositioning from the UK to our new base in Boston to do the Fall season up to Quebec. I am biased because I do think that RCCL does an amazing job of decoration across the fleet but I do agree that if you saw many things on a ship land side it would perhaps seems tacky or bougie lol. Love your travels.

[@sweephouse2489]

Great Vlog guys. I agree with other comments, nice to see you both relaxing and enjoying yourselves without the thought of having to soon move off to the next place...LOVED the face masks😄

[@ElGordo1959]

3:15 Tia for scale opportunity missed. Great deal on the cruise compared to flights. If you have time, then why not! Pre-covid partner and I did a 7 day Med cruise, and in each dock, we'd leave the boat at 7:00am and hike into the city and environs all day. Then come back, nap, have dinner and watch the Brits, French and Germans battle for the best poolside spots and diving boards! Great entertainment🙃

[@Karl-going-solo]

G'day guys. Another reason I enjoy watching you guys, apart from your high-quality content, is that you have the decency, and you take the time to respond to your subscribers' comments here, most of the time. Keep up the good work.

[@nmdc93]

You guys should do China. It would be insane. There's SO much there. + Hong Kong and Macau (Macau does 6x the revenue of Vegas)

[@carolcarol3938]

Happy Monthaversary .... Enjoy! Do chickens have fingers?

[@debrarobinson-x6s]

This was great, it was nice seeing you both unwind and relax. I laughed at the face masks, it was very funny. I’m looking forward to your new adventures (maybe route 66?)

[@madmousetales]

Omg lol Im from Southampton! I’m just catching up on ur vids now ❤❤

[@Tiamariawouldntwanttobeya]

I wonder how many Aussie’s follow you guys. It seems like we’re all hung up on your Oz adventure still 😂 🇦🇺

[@kayenash5481]

Lol, you both look beautiful 😂

[@tonymartin9938]

A day in the life was great. Sick of video where people get flash rooms and then go thru the entire ship and pontificate about the fab meals that they paid $200 extra for.

[@Steven91637]

Canada or Alaska or Chile?

[@Pietr01337]

Nice videos! Got a new sub, started following you from Finland. Have to check out your other videos. :>

[@H-Travels]

Great video…. Funny as hell! 😂 What time of year did you do this crossing, and I think from the video, you are on the Port side of the ship. Did you have sunshine on your balcony most of the day? as you are traveling westbound. Thanks, James

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thanks! This cruise was February 11-23 if I recall correctly. You’re correct that we were on the port side. Lots of sunlight in the morning and then a decent amount for the rest of the day. We really enjoy natural light and the room never felt ‘dark’ if that makes sense.

[@H-Travels]

@@OnePackWanderers Apprecoate that that you. We have done quite a few cruises; however, we are doing our first of two transatlantic crossings. First one is in November from Barcelona to Miami. And then we do a Rome to NYC Oct 2025. Cheers and safe travels, James
