REMEMBERING THE CRUISE TRAGEDY THAT STARTED IT ALL

[@ruthkringle1353]

On my back to back cruises the facial recognition got us through very quickly.

[@cindyonyoutube]

Thanks for these updates, Don. I hope we never have to go through another tragedy like that.

[@RalphJHusky]

Currently on the Sun Princess, thank GOD no one is sick, one guy coughed… fantastic crew here too

[@emiliawalker4346]

Thanks for updates!

[@rebeccapeterson3028]

Happy cruising 🎉

[@twaunniebusse7262]

Thank you for the report

[@pablollanos4916]

Keep up the good work don. Enjoy.

[@motel1029]

I'm glad we seem to be past the covid disaster!! A moment of silence for those who passed.

[@sandraalvord1]

Thank you Don! Love your videos! I appreciate the info!❤❤❤

[@angelathomas6770]

Thanks

[@joannke7727]

Great updates. Thanks

[@angelabrown3994]

"Faster to the fun" is a great idea

[@steve1la]

thanks Don

[@richardjohansen4079]

My daughter and family are on the Harmony of the Seas with you.😊

[@kenhankins2660]

Looks like perfect weather! Can't wait to get back on that ship again.

[@lindadortch6653]

We were on Sky Princess last week. We did not get sick. I was amazed at the number of people that skipped both the hand washing station and hand sanitizer when entering the buffet. This would ot be a problem on ships if everyone simply washed their hands.

[@Ravenclaw0536]

I felt so badly for the people on that ship

[@ruthkringle1353]

When a bunch of us got the flu our rooms got sanitized with hazmat crews coming in.

[@danielboileau45]

Hey there Don.,, I’ll be on Harmony this Sunday Feb 9. Looks good! Keep on keep’n on. Leave some grub on board for us.

[@cynthiareifsnider5794]

Thanks for the update! I would like earlier embarkation.

[@jeanettestolle6706]

I am so used to it, my brain just makes the correction 😂

[@nicolemiller4688]

The weather looks pretty good.

[@NancyMoroney]

Knowing that passengers continue to get sick, I'm not sure why Princess doesn't reinstate serving the passengers at the buffet. It's certainly worried trying.

[@ShannonHomeniuk]

I was about to celebrate my 25 Anniversary at the start of Covid. Five years later we will be celebrating on a HawaiianCruise.

[@bevshaw5871]

Harmony of the Seas is my favorite ship. Im going on her again in May

[@suebohlin8405]

At just about every post-Covid cruise, at some point I have stopped and looked around at hundreds of people in line to embark, or on the Promenade, or the crush of folks on the Lido deck, and breathed a prayer of thanksgiving for the blessed return to normalcy. I'm so grateful to be on the other side of masking, especially being able to understand people and see their faces!

[@teresamiller5412]

Thanks, a sad anniversary

[@carljohnson6434]

Show us your suite Don!😅

[@maryswanson9982]

We got Covid on our cruise, but I blame the airports.

[@lizkay4282]

Hi Don, I am struggling to find non-US owned cruises ships. Can you help out with some choices? I'm aware of Fred Olsen and MSC. I believe this would be a much appreciated video topic for your Canadian viewers.

[@mariodopico5581]

Carnival doing the math. 30 min earlier depart = 30 min earlier casino opening. x 20 ships = a lot of extra $$$$$$.

[@kristenkroes9649]

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Covid started.

[@richardracette-w6w]

Thanks Don. Yes we should have earlier disembarkation time.

[@Girasole5849]

Thanks for the updates today from your gorgeous office view!

[@ruthkringle1353]

Hopefully my cruise will not have sickness

[@marthagrant143]

Sadly most cruise lines didn't keep some of the protocols in place like serving in the buffet and pushing hand washing. Perhaps it they did, we would see fewer "gastronomical" outbreaks.

[@sharonmcmickens9853]

Hi Don

[@Aust-NZ-SPandtheworld]

Don, I've noticed some crew responsible for cooking pizzas & burgers don't wear gloves on many cruise lines. Undoubtedly, wearing gloves when handling food should be mandatory.

[@TracyKMainwaring]

but many still don't follow proper protocol with gloves. Touching their face, etc.

[@Pamjac7]

Hello I’m one of the passengers that will disembark early . It’s fine

[@cindyk3281]

Pray about the5 years anniversary.

[@joewines3883]

Hopefully princess finds the cause of that virus and gets it taken care of. We are excited about the world America. We are booked on it. Our prayers go out to those who lost there lives from covid.

[@QuantumScribe]

The audio is poor.

[@RicardoLopez-mc5op]

It’s embarkations not debarking For early departures from the port !

[@TD-ce5ru]

I was on a Panama canal cruise on the Norwegian Joy during the problems of the Diamond Princess. I watched it on television from the ship, wondering what was going to happen when we docked at L.A. It was a madhouse and the dock workers did not want to even touch our luggage. We were lucky to get home. The last four days of the cruise, every one was coughing. When we did get home , no one wanted to get near us .Hard to believe it was already five years ago.

[@LauraPerry63]

Yes wash wash wash hands.

[@michaeltaylor2413]

Don, we hsve bumped into you a couple of timed already on Harmony. Thank you for the time and yes, it is good to get back to normal operations and some better procedures have been put it place.

[@j.g7506]

I think being served in the buffet was a plus because not everyone washes their hands!

[@redsnapper9410]

Afternoon

[@guyrogers3410]

30 minutes sooner the casino can begin their leeching ;)

[@edstuff1198]

Every time Don says gastronomical instead of gastrointestinal outbreak god kills a kitten. Think of the cute little kittens Don!!!!

[@aussiejohn5835]

Don't forget that the Diamond Princess was the "cataclysm" that started the Covid outbreak. "Catalyst " Don!!

[@mentorjeank]

Do you ever go on Norwegian Cruise?

[@anntuck2170]

I will never forget watching the Captain walking away from the ship as the last person to disembark. We will be board on April 5th.

[@PeterLeonard-md2on]

5 times FASTER for SOME passengers..RIGHTDON???!!!

[@brentpayne4215]

Sky princess

[@lowvizlife]

I don't want to think about the "C" word anymore. I hope something like that never happens again. Not only the deaths but the other effects we are still recovering from

[@Juancarlo4342]

I would never go on princess always some kind of viruses.

[@steveturner1644]

Cruising is getting very complicated not fun anymore

[@sherrimcclow188]

I'm sorry but I think it has to be the employee's and it's in the food

[@michaelcain1870]

Audio makes it unwatchable.

[@larrybrown2470]

Facial recognition is great! Hopefully everyone will go to it soon.

[@vernaclepper9286]

Maybe Don just enjoys experimenting with word choices. I think it's clever, and ignorance is a strong word to use for such slighted vocabulary uses. Though you are obviously a genius, many of Don's listeners, especially myself, fall short of your elite category. We are able to enjoy his cruise-themed news with little concern of the perfection that you indicate is required.

[@shirleycraig2848]

Love the backdrop ❤

[@TheJm129]

Don, how about an episode devoted to the proper hand washing technique.

[@williamwatson689]

Sounds like cruising = Seasickness, Norovirus, or medical emergencies. Chancy vacation.

[@kenhankins2660]

Would rather be on the ship earlier.

[@Sharon-g8q5u]

Hi Don I don’t why you ask us to leave a comment when you just erase them and don’t read them,I think Canadians need to see where Donald Trump is going with his tarriffs ,yes he has paused for now but if it comes back we need to stay in our own country.and not be going to the states,we need to stick together if it happen’s Don!

[@nancyamaral5620]

More comments more money for him He never shows respect to his followers by responding periodically

[@lainiesmajovits3754]

Don, please don't show your ignorance! It's not "gastronomical" but "gastrointestinal ". So many of your followers have told you this, but you appear not to care. Why??

[@emiliawalker4346]

You obviously know what he meant, if it bothers you so much don't watch or listen

[@jimdempsey7129]

@@emiliawalker4346oh come on,,,,the end result is the same…

[@cbi-ju5mi]

My theory is, he intentionally does it to generate comments which helps his YT algorithm - in other words, he makes more money 😲

[@dearmepa1]

He doesn’t read or respond to any of his viewers comments. He doesn’t care.

[@homerjay8109]

How about that he is just really stupid......

[@PauliRodriguezez]

My idea of a quickie now involves a brief nap between laundry loads and meal prepping. Ah, the joys of multitasking in a long-term relationship✨
