They Called Me CRAZY, But CARNIVAL Mardi Gras Did What MSC Never Would | Our Port Day Experience

[@Therealbillymayes]

My guy really wearing a Royal Caribbean shirt on a Carnival ship 😂😂😂

[@emilypanderson]

Love your videos and Noa swimming is the cutest! I do have to say, our MSC Seashore room attendant cleaned our room super well twice a day, once after we left for breakfast and once in the afternoon before we got ready for dinner! She was amazing! But I agree that the service should be consistent for all cruisers! ❤

[@dawngoodale3387]

I just found y’all’s videos a few days ago and I love watching y’all and that baby is too precious💗💗💗

[@amywedgewood6072]

You guys are the best little family!!!!! I just love watching your sweet dynamic and amazing parenting:)

[@arlenemaxwellcopeland1644]

People give their opinions with no info. Thank you for clarifying why you don't like the show. That is helpful info, not just "I don't like it" or even "I like it".

[@erico3378]

I feel Carnival needs a reboot of their musical shows. They're getting worn out and I think they need to go back to separate singers/dancers. Not that they're not talented, I just feel most can do one very well, but not usually both at the same time. Furthermore, many of the singers are obviously classically trained and their voice types don't always match the types of music they're singing, this really shows through on the rock themed shows.

[@jessie_daisy]

You popped up in my for you page and your little girl Noah is the cutest thing EVER..my granddaughter is the same age....love watching you guys and subscribed

[@ninerjen1]

Watching Noa, I find myself with just a smile plastered on my face the whole time I’m watching these videos. Also good content!

[@feelosophy1921]

That baby knows good food. The happy dance at breakfast, priceless! 😂

[@vilmasvacation8599]

You guys are awesome thanks for sharing

[@MyLizzie22]

I really learned a lot in this video. Great family

[@maryanngambino7608]

You both are gorgeous! No wonder you have such a beautiful baby! We love MSC so watching you guys to see how other cruise lines are! 🎉🎉❤❤❤Thank you!!

[@jworth7203]

Those room stewards on Carnival are ninjas!!

The fresh squeezed juice on the Carnival Glory was amazing.

[@jamieklennert6213]

What a good girl ! So sweet 😍…and you guys are great parents🥳🌴

[@tammieosting-kline5129]

New to channel, I loved the show! Noa is so beautiful and full of light! Blessings of light and love to all of you! I had so much fun watching Noa diving! OMG I thought she would cough or get scared! Heck no she just dove right in with ease! Griff is right. I bet you you got yourselves an Olympic diver or swimmer! She did so awesome! Noa the whole world is waiting for you to conquer it! Always show them what girls can do!! You go girl! So awesome!!!!!😊❤

[@IsabelleDaly-q7f]

Wow baby girl can swim. She is precious ❤

[@DeeDeeH20]

Your daughter is amazing. Wow. She is not afraid of the water (like my kids lol) and she eats well and is not a cryer. Dang, y'all are lucky! and you are good parents too.

[@avahart]

I love your videos! Both of your shades are pretty dope.

[@sondraking902]

Your vlogs are superb ❤ . Awesome information and I wish Your family much success!

[@niuhuskieguy]

The one thing i wish is that Guys Burgers and Blue Iguana were open a little longer into dinner maybe until 7 or 8

[@MrMegdamlat]

True felt same way

[@Mrcruisefever1]

@@MrMegdamlat, they should have Guy burgers open from 12pm to 10pm / Also would have Shaq Chicken open till 11pm. / would have Taco bar open evening time from 5pm to 11pm.

[@lindsaykousgaard555]

This vlog series is outstanding! Love it and look forward to the next. Your best one yet! ❤ great job!!

[@sharoncruisingscene]

Looks like a great day! Great job Noa on the swimming! The food looked good too!

[@UrbanGirlNavigatesWorld]

I remember that song Griff!!

[@WinnieBrazill]

Precious beyond words!!!

[@sharonafleming2544]

That look at 22:13...I died 😂

[@MonkeyLoveTravel]

Love it! I remember those days. Now get to experience it as a Grandpa.

[@saragoldman7028]

Noa is precious and was so cute when she was swimming!

[@crystalBcruisin]

Why is "licorice" my new favorite word😂 I literally laughed out loud when Griff told Alyssa to try the drink & Alyssa said she doesn't like licorice, but then tries it, says "I don't like that at all", then Griff says, "tastes like licorice huh" with a wide eyed grin😅 thank you tor sharing💜 Also great job Noa on swimming👏🏾

[@shelet2000]

Quick Fix tastes like black jelly beans

[@shelet2000]

When I eat at Chibang my dinner is every appetizer on the Asian menu and no entree. ❤😋

[@shelet2000]

Oh and go back to Alchemy and just tell the mixologist what you LIKE. For example. "I want something fruity, refreshing and light, not sweet, vodka based". They will make you something not on the menu that will knock your socks off and you'll never taste the alcohol. The custom drinks are the best Alchemy drinks. ❤

[@angelaharmon2543]

Wow!! Look at her go! Yay Noah❤❤ She'll be teaching adults how to swim by the time she's 5 😉.

[@anneellison8188]

Oh my goodness that child is a swimmer! Its amazing how much she loves the water! I've raised 3 daughters and have never seen a girl be so happy being wet! And all the different food she eats too! Very cool. Yay Noa!!! Alyssa, you can definitely make those dishes yourself at home. If you do, shoot it in a video! We'd love to see how they come out.

[@micheleleckner7453]

We've gone msc twice now, and our room was always cleaned during breakfast. Maybe we've just had better luck 😂. Love your videos and your daughter is so adorable! ❤

[@cynthiabronc1261]

We were on the Mardi Gras last May 2023. We didn’t have anyone trying to sell us anything will eating. Must be a new thing.

[@dannielturba9642]

We have just started watching a few of your videos,,,, they are well done! You do a good job, your descriptions are great about all the ship ! Love it! But,,,,,,,,my wife and I ,can’t get over how cute your daughter is,,,she is fabulous!😍😍😍😍👍

[@lisabonilla1701]

Sing 🎶 whooooooooa…shibitty bob ah blee bee bop ah dee….😂 I remember that song. How bout a hat that says Hi Noa❤Alissa keeps it REAL! Keep the drinks coming Griff. Smooth operator

[@lindapeterson3613]

It is so nice Noa isn’t a picky eater because you let her try so many things.

[@TaziarTravel]

Really enjoying this series.. I’m glad that Alyssa tried Carnival again and I definitely agree that the Mardi Gras and Celebration is so much better than their other ships… I don’t think I can ever go on one of the older ships now LOL I agree with you that the entertainment is better on the Mardi Gras… I think their Playlist entertainers are a lot better vocally than the traditional carnival entertainement. It was the one thing I truly enjoyed on Mardi Gras and Celebration.. I like most of the shows that are at their center stage… The ones that have a storyline like you mentioned in this video…. Totally agree with the karaoke style bing blah…… Need a storyline. Enjoying the whole premise of this series and very entertaining… I love seeing Noah eating.. That girl appreciates her food LOL… I can almost see her being a chef one day LOL!! looking forward to more videos and I think you guys need to try the Celebration and Jubilee. I will say that we liked Celebration better than Mardi Gras. Everything just seemed a tad bit better.. more polished in a way…. 😊

[@danielhand8676]

I LOVE the Alchemy Bar! if you like chocolate, you must try the Deal Closer! enjoy

[@tammiloberg7670]

Love the glasses! Where is your merch located?

[@maryminoff4353]

Love watching Noa swimming. I’ll have to try Basel drop .

[@delmarodyssey]

Wearing a RCCL Icon of the Seas shirt on the Carnival Mardi Gras LOL Awesome!!!!

[@Mel-vb3no]

I’m new to your channel and this is so helpful! Omg Noa is cute!!!

[@bernadettelawson2916]

Look at Noa go! So confident in the water. Adorable 💜

[@gigi9301]

I Love this family and their videos!! Even though I'm a "land tour" person most of the time, I very much enjoy catching up on what's going on the world of cruising. Swimming is an essential life-skill that everyone should be comfortable with in my very humble opinion, that along with driving a stick. It'll be a few more years until the driving part comes up; they really do grow up so quickly. Awesome that they're able to spend this quality time together!!

[@RalfyLovesAviation]

I’ve cruised with MSC 2 times (Seascape and Magnifica) and my cabin was always cleaned 2 times a day (morning and evening), shame that you guys had a bad experience.

[@Cruise_life1]

20 times with msc and it was always clean

[@amandabrazeltonmcdonald3196]

It’s really funny that y’all are on a carnival cruise and Griff is wearing a Royal carribean T shirt

[@tanillecramer3915]

Yay Noa!!! Good job!!!

[@rosalynnecole23]

You guys look so fresh and so clean clean! Congratulations to the swimmer 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 The vegetables, when me and my bestie cruises she ALWAYS has time ask for a plate of broccoli 🤣🤣😂🤣

[@ladyc3205]

lol. Brocolli is good for the body.

[@leesaglazier2289]

I was on this cruise if it was August 24-31 2014 I wished I would have seen yall I enjoyed my cruise

[@GracefullyMissJC]

🤗, thanks for sharing!

[@JNTravels]

Thinking of doing a B2B on this ship in January so watching these videos closely🐸🐸🐸

[@BartonKashmer]

When we were on the Mardi Gras, the entertainment at the bars were way better than the shows. The entertainment at the Brass Magnolia was probably the best overall. And on our last MSC Cruise, we had a spa room and our room was cleaned minutes after we walked out for breakfast. I think they clean rooms in tiers. The spa room we had was obviously more than the packages below that. But we also experienced better service on MSC than on any other cruise. But we also enjoyed every cruise we took, with the exception of the Royal Caribbean cruise on the Majesty of the Sea, it was mostly fine, but the only entertainment on the cruise was in the bars.

[@MelissaTibbs-n9p]

I agree with the take on the shows! We’ve been on several shows and we’ve not enjoyed them. They’re better than they used to be DEFINITELY but they are still lacking 😢.

[@trod1289]

I would love a pre-order for those sunglasses. I saw them on Alyssa in the last video and I love them. It sounds❤

[@theclarkehomeselection]

Waaaaait..... are you wearing a Royal Caribbean shirt on the Carnival cruise?! The audacity! 😂

[@markwatts5455]

YES Griff! I do remember that song! Bad Boyz by Shyne. Great “Let’s go to dinner” lead off song!😊😊😊

[@dorothybutler9820]

She's gorgeous🥰

[@scoobymoto9858]

If you guys make a pair of “navigator” style sunglasses, I’ll be all about that!

[@Cruise_life1]

I think MSC is better than Carnival, which might be because I'm from Europe and we just don't want the same things as Americans. We Europeans eat healthier and the noise on the ship is abnormally loud, so I prefer to stay with Msc and don't have any problems with other passengers like at Carnival.

[@aubreyrangel9755]

She is just toooo cute!!!!!

[@darnellb2187]

I desperately need the drink package cap! On Mariner sep21st and for Halloween. Help 😂 I can’t find it on your site.

[@1stAmerican]

You can get all those items in the buffet. That is where your plate was prepared.

[@kdnichols99]

Also try the pineapple chipotle martini at Alchemy. So yum!

[@AmethystHazeAdventures]

Thats so strange, When I was on the Jubilee we ate in the dining room for breakfast almost every day but 2 and were only asked once about the fresh squeezed juice when we first sat down

[@keelanwalker4379]

I see myself In the background of this video 🤣

[@kdnichols99]

I'm sorry. I didn't catch it. Where did you visit in Amber Cove. That looks amazing and I will be there in the fall.

[@diane5454]

Griff’s sunglasses aren’t nearly dark enough.

[@peteybird3699]

So weird I absolutely love Rock Revolution.

[@leslietibbitts6847]

Are you guys going on the 9th September for the new Disney Treasure??

[@Cruisegirl1968]

I need the MARGS hat!!

[@boatshaughie2841]

I'm confused, isn't food and drink included in price??

[@paular601]

I love the glasses

[@danielfabian3091]

I love yall

[@Carrusing4us]

Wife always comments that she never gets enough veg with dinner. We sail RCC and Celb. It’s a cruise line thing.

[@greystrickland8959]

I know she saw y'all filming...I woulda snapped.

[@102810281028nl]

Noa is adorable, I love that she is such a good eater and loves fruit. What a little swimmer too.

[@dawncrossland3028]

That CUTE baby Noa is Going to Be a Great,Fearless Swimmer! 🏊🏼‍♀️

[@sheryldiggett1086]

I thought those specialty restaurants book up so they advise to reserve ahead of time on line. What’s up?

[@crystalrosas9119]

You all mentioned you watch your calories on board. My hubby and I calculate ours as well, but not sure how to on board. How do you all count your calories? I know we only eat breakfast and dinner on board, so we don’t over eat but just curious 🧐… yes we do get dessert. lol.

[@GetThePoints]

Griff, you’re right. Your glasses are horrible. Alyssa’s are on point.

[@lfmckinley1077]

I like the Green Tea Martini at Chabang

[@fivemjs]

That decor took me back two decades. Lol Edit: girl I can’t stand Margarita mix! I don’t get why everyone loves it and I’m the loner

[@kmcbride2988]

Thanks for the video. Oh and I noticed that you lowered your voice when you arrived near the staterooms after the show. Not maybe people are that mindful of the staterooms when walking the hallways!! I agree that the shows on Carnival are lacking storyline, climax and often boring choreography. I also wish they offered more for families to do together besides the slides(sports deck) or sending the kids to camp ocean.

[@flamingarcher1970]

Yay! Noah!! Lil swimming Champ 🏆 👏👏

[@seanbradley3]

Felt the same about the shows having no storyline . Family feud and deal or no deal save the entertainment on the ship .

[@inesjackson-williams6055]

I love your channel. I too have always been a RCL cruiser but I did like th Mardi Gras very much. Recently got off the Wonder of the Seas. Not impressed . I do love you family dynamics. We often travel with our 3 yo granddaughter. You make it look so easy traveling with Noa. She is not a great eater like your baby. Keep on with the great content

[@milaneoff4163]

Amazing😮

[@edwardtames8937]

You’re wearing a RC shirt on Carnival? How disrespectful! 😂

[@aarev100]

😂that’s nasty work.

[@phyllishorne1]

Love your channel. However, I have been on MSC Maraviglia 5 times and they clean rooms 2 times a day. Their room attendants are amazing, I cannot speak on any other MSC ship. Noah is absolutely stunning.

[@saragill6551]

Brass Magnolia is the bar to go to. Check it out.

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey guys. I find all elevators on every cruise I’ve been on are hot. Poor ventilation. And that’s Carnival, Norwegian, Royal, MSC & Celebrity. Will see what Virgin and Disney brings next. Don’t think the lack of room cleaning is a cruise line thing; think it’s an individual cabin steward thing. Our steward on MSC was outstanding. I’ve experienced every cruise line have staff trying to sell speciality dining, drink & photo packages, spa etc. Just kindly say no thank you to all and they eventually stop. I remind myself they are doing their job. Noa is so smart and fearless jumping in that pool 🥹❤️. Alchemy is what’s up 🙌🏼. Martini seduction or spicy pineapple 🍍😋😋😋. But I don’t like to walk to far with drinks so being you have time, I’ll have my pre alchemy and water at Chibang or just try a Chibang cocktail. Oh I don’t share appetizers 😂. Cinnamon 🤢? Glad the entrees were a hit. Alyssa. I’m hollering 😂😂 at your facial expressions during the show. Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@_shonneri]

Hey y’all! I’m trying to plan for next year in August is it a wise decision to cruise in the month of August? I’ve only been one cruise (2 in February) and I am nervous bc summer is hurricane season!

[@MrHappyMickey]

Is there a shortage of high chairs on that ship?? Seems like some of the eateries don't supply them.

[@gretahoving5743]

I like the cucumber drink from alchemy

[@vincentclausen2250]

With the walk around sales pitch for Chibang et al. Are people eating there?

[@ashleys4652]

Alyssa, that halter dress is so pretty on you. Shows your super sculpted arms and shoulders.

[@deborahhymer9315]

It's hard to hear Alyssa with the background music.

[@TimBrownTown]

You're having the same issues I had with the Pocket 3 footage. Flicker and Banding. Didn't haven it anywhere else except on cruises. I think it has something to do with the mixed lighting coming from outdoor and the indoor lighting. I also saw some white balance issues. It's a hit or miss camera. Nobody else will notice except camera nerds. Content is good.

[@dawngoodale3387]

She’s swimming like a fish!!!

[@Juancarlo4342]

I have never had an issue, msc always does our room as soon as we leave the room.
