It was an absolute pleasure having you onboard!! Thank you for cruising & dining with us. 🖤

[@FRENCHYLO]

Merci 🙏🏻

perfect date night ship

Sounds more like a Dinner cruise, we just returned from a Mississippi River Cruise. Quite a bit different.

[@ResinAlchemist2024]

I have been eyeing the Mississippi River cruise 8 day trips. Memphis to New Orleans. Which leg did you guys take? Company? Would you go again?

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

@@ResinAlchemist2024 New Orleans to Memphis on Viking. The cruise was nice, BUT. 2 days in a hotel before and two more after. Also, the 3 hr bus ride from Rosedale, Mississippi to Memphis, Tenn. lasted a LOT longer, left the ship around 9am, got to Memphis at 5 pm. Had two other Major issues, Viking called and offered $1,000.00 ($500 each) onboard credit and we declined. I'll be glad to share the other 2 issues if you want to hear about them.

[@kimberlygilmore23]

So what happened did the boat break down 🤔💭

[@MsTessLJ]

@@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561 Yes tell the story, because I have been interested in the MS river cruise as well.

[@nursecatorn3449]

[@chandrakirts6440]

I would love to see american river cruising. Noone else I watch does those and I've thought about taking one but they're so expensive.

[@ashleys4652]

Do the NCL Hawaiian Islands cruise with Lauren. It's such a beautiful experience and so many great places to eat and do excursions on each island.

[@maryiaono7190]

Highly recommend this cruise. I have cruised this twice. It is land intensive. Food is good. Entertainment can be good it just depends. So tired when you return to the ship you just want to shower, eat and go to bed. We use the ship as a floating hotel

[@autobotdiva9268]

YUP, she sure could do that

[@alikatt]

I'd really like to see river cruising videos!

[@itsrojas]

The man living his best life

[@BeefromSC]

This is a great alternative so both of you can still enjoy cruising together, ❤️❤️ ( Sure I would love to see what some of the other River Cruises have to offer!)

[@lauracooks4926]

I did the brunch the other day. It exceeded my expectations. I was on crutches and they were very accommodating. The food was solid. The staff was friendly and attentive

[@alexandriajohnson6656]

Great to see Lauren ! What a lovely video 🤩especially after watching the fighting chair throwing video right before this one. 😅

[@tiffanyc8307]

Lol

[@TheFtm22]

That looks like a nice evening. For those of us who can't really be gone for days on end, that looks great. Loved having Lauren along and yes, I'd love to see more river cruises.

[@wilelowman]

Thumbs up. Same thing here. If you're ever in Chicago there are many dinner lake Michigan cruises.

[@dxxldiva]

Do the Mississippi River cruise. I'm curious.

[@petitecherie501]

Thank you for reviewing this venue. What a nice change from dinner inside an air conditioned building. Next time we're close to Tampa and have a free evening I'll be sure to book a table for two. PS it is absolutely beautiful to see you and your bride-to-be together❤

[@kimberlygilmore23]

Hey I just love watching you and your view on Cruise Ships. Thanks so much Kim Gilmore Rochester NY

[@flyddw]

J: you got 20 million I can borrow? L: I can date one! ouch! all in fun though

[@hueydavis3716]

Happy to see your better half back

[@tremainekennedy9417]

Looks like a such a romantic relaxing experience!

[@steggets2817]

If all races could learn to love each other. Get rid of the racist systems of hate/divide that always point the finger at everyone else but will never point the finger at themselves. Beautiful couple, beautiful video.

[@briezzy365]

LAURENE!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@amazona72072]

Ok, first of all…just call it what it is. A dinner river cruise, before you start confusing people. We have one here in Kemah,Texas called Fantasea but is not in a river. It’s in a bay. 2 1/2 hours 5 course meal with DJ and a cash bar. Some weekends they have theme cruises like…R&B music theme, 80’s theme and Motown theme. A river cruise is the ones you spend around 7 nights with breathtaking views. The beautiful ones are in Europe like Viking river cruises and Avalon Waterways. 😊

[@beyondborders9159]

Even the minnow offered a 3 hour tour lol. Looks like ol boy is trying to put some lead in his pencil with those oysters lol

[@Knightnurse90]

Laurene can go to Hawaii and you guys can do that cruise. And a land tour of the islands !🎉❤

[@ChelsyLewandowski]

So happy for you two

[@mylifewithautsuim6314]

more cruises in the USA with Lauren!!!!

[@dee_mcgee11]

I would absolutely love this! I have some family in Tampa who would love it too!

[@michaelholliday6037]

I grew up in the Pinellas County area and live near Odessa right up the road from you.

[@jenreed8403]

Lauren! So happy to see ur beautiful face! ❤

[@valeriewright3681]

Was so happy to see you with Lauren , enjoy and have a fantastic time guys !!👍❤️

[@tmoore1144]

Open Kitchen is a wonderful thing! My husband and I took a dinner cruise on the Bell of Louisville about 15 yrs ago. We were disappointed that the food was all prepared off site and all plates and utensils were cheap plastic and disposable. We understood why when we found out there wasn't water or power for cooking or cleaning. If I ever get to Tampa I will have to look this up :)

[@nordisk1874]

I’m happy for Captain Troy! Starship Cruises is something special to the Tampa Bay Area! Four of my 16 years in the industry were there and you both have to try Statship 4 out of Clearwater Beach!

[@ilikesalt7245]

I always check your shows out to see what the NOMAD is up to.

[@richardhales92]

This was unusual and fun to see

[@travelinhawk4584]

Would love for you two to do a real river cruise on the Mississippi!

[@kathytracy7952]

That would be great

[@julieDJTFP]

Have you guys thought about doing a Mississippi river cruise? That would be totally cool!

[@sswan9689]

Sure, I would like to see you & Lauren take a river cruise. I have checked out American River cruises, but the prices are SO Expensive!! I guess those river cruises are supposed to be a trip of a lifetime. Hmm, just to go up the Mississippi River. Lol!! This was a nice dinner cruise.

[@grannysquared7140]

We did a dinner cruise on the Grand River out of Lansing Michigan. It's so relaxing just floating down the river I booked a ten day cruise on the Mississippi

[@wandervoltz]

Ooooo a dinner cruise! Those are so fun! Chicago has great dinner cruises out of Navy Pier, and if you're cruising during the summer, you may even catch the fireworks from the boat! Some of them even have live DJs or small bands, and the last dinner cruise I was on had a magician doing close-up tricks for each table. It was great! 😊

[@lightbored187]

Pretty darn cool! I hope you hurry up and help Lauren with her visa issues!

[@PAWS0810-]

fun try the ones down in Miami and ft lauderdale - fun stuff.

[@gregsharma3924]

Looks like a dinner cruise.

[@rqdtv]

Try the Viking Mississippi if you need to do a river cruise and stay in the USA. Or Hawaii if you can skip the river.

[@X0awsome]

Loved seeing Lauren. Mississippi River cruise please!

[@meretsegerdesign1612]

So happy to see Lauren at your side finally.

[@michaeljablonski2440]

Looks like an interesting dinner cruise on a sightseeing tour boat. You should try a real river cruise in the USA.

[@kellyssong]

Thank you, Justin and Laurene!

[@isaidwhatisaid76]

I'll definitely try this next time hubby and I are in Tampa. The food looks delicious

[@pattyolson3842]

That looks like a nice date night dinner cruise. Next time I find myself in Tampa, maybe I'll try it.

[@tinacromatie2894]

Hi j seems nice for a two hour cruise u hope u guys had fun

[@mattjn02]

I see there’s also Great Lakes cruises, I wonder if these more resemble your typical cruises just on a smaller scale?

[@debbief2882]

So happy to see you and Lauren on a cruise. Even as short as it was. Where is your wedding ring?? 😉

[@bubbles205]

Looks like a good time

[@spudforce8302]

It was so good to see Lauren again!!! Looks like you guys had a good time!!❤❤❤

[@mauricemosley8380]

I would love to see you two do a longer river cruise.

[@debp5983]

Yes, please more travel experiences in America. You provide top notch content. 😊

[@TerraLyn]

Awesome review Jay. I’m trying to figure out if that’s close to Davis Island, but you said Hillsborough River! I’ve been on Starship as well. Definitely will try this dinner cruise. Hi Lauren!

[@AlexHernandez-yb9rx]

Aww ❤you 2 are so cute 🥰 That looked like such a fun thing to do! I used to live by Cape Canaveral and we used to do the Casino ships-it’s fun until you’re out of money and stuck in a boat for another hour or 2. But this one looks like it could be interesting to try out. And YES 🙌🏽 I’d love to see more of these! Could you & Lauren do a Mississippi River cruise? (Do they have those? I thought I heard of them?) anyways…I’ve been on and off KZbin here and there. So it’s nice to see y’all 😁 safe travels ❤

[@tstv205]

Yes, please do more videos like this 😊

[@firesunearthmoon8999]

Good to see you two together & enjoying yourselves!😘

[@shopper5969]

Happy Monday! Nice date night cruise!❤

[@bkwwilkes]

I just love you all

[@FrylockGroupie]

Great video! This is our favorite part of the Hillsborough River. Love floating by Riverwalk and Armature Works.

[@autobotdiva9268]

absoluletly LOVE THIS!! Laurent can do a NCL Hawaiian Islands cruise

[@betsyhertzog1454]

Glad to see Lauren ....

[@AnthonyHolo96]

That’s awesome

[@tammybriggs1271]

❤❤❤I've been waiting on you to do a few River Cruises. Thanks for sharing your experience! Hey Lauren! Get that Woman her Dream Home!

[@dankind64]

i'm totally down for more tampa outing videos! or more domestic ones in general. loved this, i'll add it to my list of things to try one day.

[@svenswwis436]

That Bass clef tattoo is unique. It would be cool to hear the intentions/reasons, motivations behind such as powerful tattoo?

[@aaronabeid3079]

Nice for the evening, but take a look into doing a longer river cruise. Viking is a big go-to brand, but there’s also AmaWaterways, Uniworld, Scenic/Emerald, etc

[@elondaaustin9994]

Yes I would like to see you and Lauren take river cruises together

[@swsunsetseeker7285]

Very nice evening! The food looked upscale, worth it

[@jenreed8403]

I did one of these style cruises in MN when I lived there. Pretty funny. N then the hubby n I did a casino cruise in Orlando many years ago, before r Carnival cruise.

[@robertlalor8090]

Love seeing you two together

[@lillis887]

❤thank you so much for reviewing this!! Hubby is 4th generation Tampa. Love this option for a nice evening on the water!❤ Will be going soon!!❤

[@TRAINRUNNA1]

You guys should do the Bateaux Dinner Cruise in New York. You'll love it‼️

[@queenbee4427]

Thanks for the great info....this is home for us so we are now going after seeing your meals!!!!

[@MrVeteranVlogs]

Another great video Fam

[@FR-tb7xh]

What absolute fun!

[@melsattitude8668]

Totally enjoyed this 🎉🎉 great idea!

[@rogerbpugh2293]

me and my wife might do this for our anniversary looks fun so many beautiful mansions on thee water I guess its a lot of money here in Tampa!!!!!!!!!!

[@CAC.88]

Wowwww food looked absolutely bomb!!! always cool to have something that can stay local but get you away from land. Very cool video! :) Glad to see yall both in a video again! POWER COUPLE STATUSSSS

[@tiffanyc8307]

That looks really nice and get Lauren one of those houses 😀

[@heideleskun1163]

Detroit Michigan has "river cruise" trips like this and has for a LONG while. We had "Boblo Boat" then converted in 2005 to Detroit Princess cruises. They do have a functioning kitchen although it's "gas" but conventional kitchen it's an AWESOME river cruise. The process from getting it back from Texas alone is amazing. You should come to Michigan and check it out. Maybe reach out Detroit Princess Cruises and see if they may sponsor you. Just a thought. Lauren can even come and you explore travel in Michigan via land based sites as a Travel Agent. Widens your audience and your personal experience. SO many amazing sites in both Upper and Lower Michigan. lol You'll learn to understand the "hand" references when asked "where are you from" and a "UUper vs Troll" concept. ****Oh and Michigan has great state beers, wine and Grand Travers Michigan Hot Sauces which are REALLY good.

[@christopherandkarencobb2821]

We were in Tampa this summer. And I wish that we would have went on this Cruz. I thought about it. Tampa is so pretty, but so congested.The water is much better

[@tcmw779]

Maybe give American Cruise Lines a cruise on the Mississippi.

[@1979bturner]

I have done yacht starship several times in Tampa I'll definitely check out craft next

[@Bull_MuleOx]

Savannah River Cruise

[@2luvjazz]

That was really nice. I have to check it out when I come down there. They have these in NYC also and really enjoyable. So good to see the lovely Lorin!!!

[@jglow2]

I have a Mississippi River cruise booked on American Cruise line, stays in the US on several rivers, mine is northern Mississippi sailing south for 8 days. we leave Aug 7

[@amyholloway1691]

Great pick for a nice date

[@ruthkringle1353]

I was on river boats in Europe where we had to duck down going under bridges.

[@nicolemiller4688]

Cute you guys, you"ll get it right❤

[@pamelathomas7209]

I did a lunch cruise on the Mississippi river Queen. I live in memphis.

[@anitapickens7377]

You guys are so cute😊

[@kathytracy7952]

Hi beautiful Lauren ❤

[@Plum_bird]

We have been on a riverboat cruise in New Orleans, dinner cruises are the best! Thanks for sharing.

[@angelsmilkyway4352]

I did not know this was an option. I will try this. Thanks for the video. I'm close to this place. I will try the brunch and dinner. Please do more.

[@RubenAlicea]

cool

[@lowboi_media]

need more of river cruises

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Try a Columbia river cruise! Oregon and Washington are beautiful!

[@terrorbulyfe]

I actually would like to see you two on a real river cruise up the Mississippi. Maybe even in Europe!
