Why have I rewound the nipple cover portion 4 times? Y'all had tears rolling down my face, laughing at Stanley. His facial expressions... priceless!

Stan-Lay is sooooo funny!! Don’t forget the lanyard maaaaaaan‼️ My church is sponsoring its first group cruise. Most of the folks are first-timers. We have a meeting coming up to share needed info . I have included a list of 4 of your KZbin videos for them to check out. Yall are the real deal. Thanks guys for all the info and laughs. Repping the 757; born and raised in the 804. Love, Peace & Blessings❤

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Love this !!!

[@SarahKammeraad]

In case you've never tried it, Monistat makes an anti-chafing gel that works awesome. I like it better than body glide because it doesn't leave any residue on clothes, etc. and you can put it on an area that has already chafed, and it doesn't sting.

[@clittle1807]

We use the luggage tag holder for every bag. My husband's cpap bag (even though we carry it on).. but just in case .

[@swtblcklpn1]

I have a neck fan with 2 actual fans on them that have adjustable positioning....talk about a game changer!

[@dianec9456]

I had taken your advice from an earlier video and ordered the multi-pill case and the waterproof case that goes around your waist. Those two items were GREAT and we were so thankful for the advice. Your videos made our first Carnival cruise a success! We're planning our next one :D for April of 2026. Thank you so much!!

[@lisalee3221]

The speaker watch is a game changer

[@derekcallum4212]

Yes, the bucket hat is necessary. Also a portable UVlight scanner to scan your stateroom surfaces, got it during the pandemic. Love your videos.

AWESOME TIPS THANKS AGAIN TO THE BEST HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM BESIDES ME AND MINES EVER!!! HOPE TO TRAVEL WITH YOU ALL NEXT YEAR

[@patriciadavismoore4310]

Great tips as always. Thanks for reminding me to bring my wine stopper. But when you reach platinum, that free laundry will be a real game changer. No dirty laundry to clean when you get home.

[@Bfighter1]

Thank you so much for the information! I’m heading to RC Rome 7 day cruise in 2 weeks! First cruise Eva!! But you know I’m doing Carnival Celebration in November because of you all, family!!!

[@Natalia-ql6yo]

Binge watching for carnival cruise coming in February. Love yall vibe!

[@kenyamccullum3827]

Those Sea Bands are the TRUTH!! I put them on the morning of the cruise and I don't remove them until I hit land to go home!. I do not want to have a bad time. It's better to have them and not need them, need them and not have them!!! Also the disposable bed sheets. I haven't use them but I have heard they are good

[@boden922]

Thank you for this!!! This came right on time and made my day! I would love to see an actual “pack with me/us” video 😊

Hello. FYI ... TSA will have you remove your passport from its cover for scanning.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Everyone that scans your passport will do the same. Covers are to protect it

[@mickiesadventures]

16:54 those neck fans are awesome! I carry both the neck fan and a rechargeable hand fan!

[@NYCBombshell]

If you do not have a passport, Carnival (MIA, FL terminal) will help you, should you lose your ID and have a birth certificate and provide a picture of front and back of ID!!! This happened to my Mother 2024 NYE sailing to Turks & Caicos and Bahamas. Her DL, ID, and credit cards were all lost somewhere in the airport or airplane, before arriving to the hotel the day before. It took a lot of prayer, but during check in, since she was not able to present physical ID and only birth certificate, they allowed her to check in with a picture file of front & back of DL (that she happened to have in phone for previous business). They had her go to a department that deals with this and they had her email the file to the email address provided, then they printed the picture and made a few copies, so she can get back on the ship, returning from ports. I hope this helps relieves anyone’s anxiety, if this happens to them, because it was a nightmare for us and we were praying they wouldn’t turn us around and we have to fly back across the country to return home.

[@diankelly1]

Hello there just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos. They are very very informative and give some amazing tips and dues and don’ts when going on a cruise trip now I must say that I wish I would have discovered THIS particular video a couple of weeks ago prior to going on my cruise on Carnival, my passport that I had was expired did not have time to send away and get a new one and I did not know that I needed to bring a BIRTH certificate. A birth certificate I wish I would have known I would HAVE BROUGHT IT.. I did not have it so unfortunately I was denied access to my Cruise. 😭Needless to say I was devastated, but believe me after watching your videos in the near future I will be more than prepared. Once again, thanks again for your very informative videos. Keep them coming and I will continue to watch and I will refer you to my friends and family. 💯😎

[@istyleliz]

I love your videos, love the tips and tricks. Love your packing list as well! I do have a few questions, I've been looking into water proof fanny pack and wondering where you got yours (I didn't see it on your essentials list). Also nowadays I feel like people don't usually have a camera when they can just use their phone..in your experience which do you prefer?

It’s on the cruise essentials list. Click to expand the view. Camera info in description field. Our opinion isn’t apples to apples since we record to upload content. Phones work perfectly for those on vacay
