Loving reliving the memories ❤

I’m ridiculously happy that you’re there with Ben and David, and the March of the Vloggers was fabulous.

[@heideleskun1163]

Steph is just the cutest thing ever, Ben and Dave are adorable.

[@anncharavell273]

I normally like to wait for all of a trip to be posted before I watch, and then binge, but I'm in a hotel tonight with the chance to start this on a huge TV! It's almost as wide as the king size bed! Jay, your head is huge! 😂😂😂

[@msdove61]

OMG I'm so excited Your with Ben and David and Stef all of my favorite vloggers. Looks so beautiful there on my bucket list, but for now I will watch threw your eyes.

[@lindalaliberte8704]

Loved this video. Kona Beach snorkeling with fish was beautiful and the turtle was a bonus. So glad you got to have your shaved ice 😋. I agree with you Dee; stadium seating to watch people swimming is a little creepy😵‍💫. Going to watch more of your Hawaii cruise.

[@amadsen256]

I love Ben and David! So glad you did a cruise with them! I’ll have to check out Stef’s vlog! Thank you for the collab!

[@carlaborges2306]

So cool to see you with Ben and David!!

[@bridgetlydon7]

Beautiful fish. Thank you

[@lucydealmeida6758]

Love watching your videos just found you on KZbin ❤

[@eleanor4482]

Loved this. Great to see Steph, Ben and David with you. Thanks for taking us along.

[@lizdyson3627]

Looks like you had the best unofficial group cruise eva.😀😎

[@corgimom1626]

Funny, the aft pool would be perfect for me! I’m only 5’1 and shrinking. So envious of your height

[@elainewickstead4714]

Loved this! You two and Ben and David are my favorite vloggers so I am really looking forward to this series. Nice to see Stef with you too. I have seen her before with Ben and David. Looks like a lot of fun! We sailed on the Spirit just prior to refit and really enjoyed the cruise but it was ready for an update which seems to have been done very successfully. I would love to cruise on this ship again soon.

[@bethhalsey7627]

Hey dee and jay, Hawaii looks beautiful and the turtle spotting was great

[@barbarashuster9029]

Miss you Steph!!

[@SoloSueTravels]

Wow, Hawaii and Alaska in the same cruise is crazy! I'm doing Mexico one week and then Alaska the next, but on different ships, so I will be packing something similar too!

[@barbarashuster9029]

That aft pool area used to be where the kids splash area was! I remember eating breakfast outside in those tierd tables!

[@KVDC2008]

So cool you bumped into other YT cruise vloggers as well!

[@angelabrown3994]

Food looked delicious, especially the chocolate mousse😊

[@MO-fu7vi]

Norwegian spirit just spent the 22/23 summer cruise season home ported here in Sydney 🇦🇺🦘

[@cruisinkoozies]

Love watching your videos, they make me so jealous 🤭

[@Starkiller1981]

Snowcap is the pro move.

[@andrewbrown574]

I’m sure you know this already, but that itinerary is known as a “Fire & Ice Cruise”!

[@lindajames9640]

This was super fun to watch! I haven’t been to Hawaii in years and I just got off a cruise a couple weeks ago so I had the best of both worlds watching this. Thank you so much. I absolutely love Ben and David! I just started following them a few months ago so I think it’s amazing that you get to cruise with some of the best vloggers in the industry. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the rest of the series.

[@sarahgreen7704]

Love seeing Hawaii this way, but now it makes me want to go see it in person.

[@NancysNibblesofLife]

So glad you’re back in Hawaii! This seems like a dream cruise. I am definitely putting it on my bucket list. My name for the dinner segment is: cruising through the dinner review. 😊 love y’all

[@jamieklennert6213]

Love the Sponge Bob music, love the turtle!!! Thx guys!!

[@heathern9394]

Aww this is going to be sure a great series love Ben and Dave as well!! Not familiar with the other lady I can’t wait to start watching her series as well

[@barbarashuster9029]

Sounds like an amazing Cruise! We were on the Spirit for our Mediterranean Cruise 10 years ago.

[@grex1]

Our family watches every vlog you put out! Big fans!! Food review name: Dinner Deep Dive (Triple D)

[@bethstoskopf9746]

It must be so much fun traveling with Stef, Ben and David. How do you handle traveling so many consecutive days? We have a 15 day Panama Canal cruise in the future and trying to figure out how to pack for it. I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming segments from all three channels.

[@barbarap5278]

Morning Dee & Jay, this looked like so much fun with your friends!!! Are you going to see Ben & David when you go to England?? Glad to see Steph again... That snorkling was awesome!!! Great surprise with the turtle & beautiful fish...

[@parodeejay]

B&D won’t be in England when we’re there, sadly! They’re off traveling as well!! :P

[@maryanncapece2623]

Good morning. This was so fun to watch. Perfect weather with an awesome snorkeling surprise for Dee. Watching vloggers taking video of vloggers, great fun with some of my favorite people!! Thank you.

[@washboardjim]

I live in Honolulu in 2004, loved it. food is great there

[@Misbehaven99]

Great Vlog and so so cool to see Ben & David and Steph there with you.. I’m a subscriber to all of you :-)

[@cruisegal4991]

Great vlog, are you cruising again with those three? Try drinking black coffee with a coffee creamer like mocha or french vanilla. Negates the need for sugar or cream, very tasty. Nestle and International Delight make some good choices. 😀

[@718_tay6]

I hope I bump into you guys on my next ncl cruise

[@jonpike8708]

Legends!

[@heathahlee]

I’m so far behind on videos because we were on Carnival Glory last week. I can finally say I got to swim with turtles! It was truly magical to be swimming along and suddenly see them contentedly munching on grass, not giving us a second glance. We didn’t touch them, but we were SO close to them, by their choice! They swam so close to us we could have easily reached out and touched them. I may or may not have cried! (Spoiler…I did, in fact, cry my eyes out 🤣)

[@TropicLuv]

I wish I still lived on the big island and can meet up with you! I could show you some snorkel places that will blow your mind!!!! Next time you’re there rent a car and go to 69’s!

[@sabrinalavdisarnold825]

Hi guys! What happened to the North shore and embarkation day footage?

[@parodeejay]

Our north shore plans got scrapped, but we're hoping to hit that area when we're back in July! The embarkation day footage is coming up as bonus footage in Part 3, since we ended up turning it into a bit of a work catch-up day and didn't record a whole lot, but we did a little cabin tour and some of the usual stuff!! :P ~Jay

[@kevinmendy7254]

Great video as always. Where is the cruise port in Honolulu? Best way to get there from your hotel? Seems like the excursions are expensive. Thanks

[@parodeejay]

Depends on which line you're sailing, but NCL typically uses Terminal 2, and we usually have a rental car to get ourselves to the port. Otherwise, you'd probably need some sort of hotel shuttle, taxi, or Uber/Lyft if they have that in Hawaii!! :D

[@goldenblooms6672]

Is the included dining pretty good on NCL spirit? I’m debating whether to go on Grand or Majestic Princess for Alaska. Thank you

[@parodeejay]

We’ve really enjoyed the included food on NCL lately!! :D

[@andrewbrown574]

I think I saw an octopus in a crevice at 14:03. Not certain, though…

[@jvalley8897]

Looked like it...saw a couple suckers sticking out! 😁

[@billrosteck5367]

Dee when snorkeling what type of camera do you use. The viedos are amazing.

[@parodeejay]

An older GoPro Hero Black 9, which we’ve had for a few years now!! :D

[@chuckoneill2023]

This looks lovely. We're booked for Pride in a few months. Are there rules about collecting lava rocks?

[@parodeejay]

There’s folklore about curses from Pele that come from removing lava rocks from the islands, and we’ve been told that their post offices get so many packages of rocks and things back, from folks who believe they’ve had bad luck come from rock removal. Not sure the actual legality of removing lava rocks though!! :P

[@chuckoneill2023]

@@parodeejay 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@deetee8100]

My Google search says taking lava rocks is illegal.

[@Komainu959]

@@chuckoneill2023 I'm sure you don't mean any offense from the laughing emojis but just know that it is against National and State park rules to take just about anything natural out of the park. This would include rocks / sand / etc. Can you take them just out and about? Yep and I've seen tons of tourist do so. Just keep in mind that Native Hawaiians will generally consider this to be hugely disrespectful to the point you might get beat up....maybe that's where some of the "bad luck" comes from lol. This goes especially for "white" or "haole" people, while Hawaii can be super friendly there's a reason why the term "Kill haole day" exists. Act the fool and find out. Me, I like being a good guest to the places I visit and not do disrespectful things but to each their own.

[@chuckoneill2023]

@@Komainu959 There are similar things going on in the Southwest. It's highly illegal to take rocks/plants and such from Grand Canyon or Petrified Forest parks in Arizona. They also frown on people taking meteor fragments from Meteor Crater (which is privately owned, not a park). What's not frowned on (it's encouraged) is buying Petrified Wood and other items from the many, many rock shops. BTW -- you do know that Hawaii is, essentially, made out of lava? What I find funny is the idea of a "curse". When I lived in Arizona, I was exposed to many stories and "legends". While I did try to be respectful, quite a few of those tales were invented just for the tourists.

[@RAINBOJO1]

I so wanna take a cruise but I use a wheelchair because I can’t walk far. Is it M possible for disabled people to take cruises?

[@susansmith8274]

Yes! My husband uses a cane, a friend uses a wheelchair. Book early to get an accessible room.

How did you all become professional cruise riders? Kinda amazing life you two have. Your happiness is apparent. If you ever want company my partner and I are great company.
