This Is Why No One Likes American Tourists! | Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady Cruise

[@tonyd6500]

Thank you for your words on Americans in foreign countries!!! My wife and I do our hardest to be modest and humble when visiting any country (and truly in our daily lives), and we teach our children to do the same. I greatly appreciate your PSA!! ✌️❤️

[@kev2020]

I was returning to the US and had a connection. This woman walked over to a desk and started yelling at the employee about how her son spent thousands on a ticket and that the plane left. She sat there demanding that they get her on that flight. She was full on yelling and carrying on. The poor worker kept telling her that she does not work for the airline. Y'all, it was a currency exchange booth. Giant currency symbols and signs were everywhere. She did not need to be going anywhere out of the country doing all of that.

[@chronic2023]

[@sammni]

My experience with an American tourist…. Went to the Tower of London was having a great time and then we got to the little church. The Beefeater said this is a practicing church feel free to go in but no pictures… EVERYONE stuck to the rules apart from an American woman. When she was confronted about taking pictures her reply was “I’m American” that’s it! That’s all she said! She was shown the door very quickly to the church On the other hand my city is becoming a cruise ship stop off with many American tourists and I must say I do enjoy having them around! Loud and enthusiastic 😂 Belfast, Northern Ireland

[@valerieneal2747]

OMG ! When one travels to another country, it should be well understood that you CANNOT DO AS YOU please because you "can do what you want because you're_______________."

[@marke4663]

First time viewer here. A good video. I liked how you took the church being closed in your stride and accepted that things like that can happen. All part of the adventure. It's not that we hate all Americans, it's just that we hate a certain type of American, you know the ones I'm talking about, you even gave an example. I worked in the hospitality industry here in Australia so got to meet a wide spectrum of American tourists. Most were very nice, some not so. The best were your military, particularly the USN and US Marines we came in contact with, always well behaved and polite, and these were guys and gals that had been at sea for months and were letting off steam. I'm looking forward to checking out more of your videos.

[@Lisabeeme15]

As an American living abroad I approve this message! The steaks at Pink Agave were amazing. I was on the Resilient Lady last month and I can’t wait until my next cruise.

[@waynewright6979]

Ain’t gonna lie! I cracked up when you reminded me of my late mom in how you gestured and called out, “the cousins!” 😂😂

[@laurettecastellano2830]

This is the first time l have seen your channel. If everyone had the same way of thinking as you do there would not be any problem. I live in the French Alpes, you should come and visit here. I just subscribed.

[@Dragonstar13]

I was in an Art museum in Paris, just minding my own business when I saw this woman go up to a museum staff and yelled "DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?" the poor staff took a deep breath before replying, "Yes Madame, I speak English." WTF. Didn't even say "Excuse me" or "Pardon" Just got straight to the "DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH." And it's like, okay people when you're in another country where English isn't the first language, Please please please learn a bit of the native language. You don't need to be fluent, but just get enough to get around or at least help you. And if you need an English speaker and don't have a digital aid, try to find an information desk. Glad you had a good time in Paris though. I only been there about 3 times, and each time I love it.

[@sharonh2172]

Omg, I'm horrified and embarrassed 😳...I had a similar experience with my Aunt in Berlin Germany, cringe! We were at a lovely restaurant having lunch and she wanted a carry out (side note, they don't really do that there) any way, they didn't understand her and she got frustrated and started saying "English, English" ... when I say we were like NO MA'AM!! We gathered her quickly and left.

[@Arltratlo]

a restaurant is a place you sit down, a McDonalds is a place they call a restaurant in the USA...

[@sharonh2172]

@Arltratlo we were sitting down and McDonald's is just fast food not what we consider a real restaurant

[@Arltratlo]

@@sharonh2172 lol, i went to Paris many times, a French Cafe is nothing they have in the USA....the culture to sit down and let the time pass in conversation and having a cup of coffee or a glas of wine in the shadow of the sun...L'art de vivre à la française

[@sharonh2172]

@Arltratlo we were at Schnitzelei Mitte in Berlin Germany, a beautiful restaurant where sat and enjoyed dinner. I've also been to many cafés in Wiesbaden and Nuremberg where we enjoyed many pastries and coffee. I'm sorry if I don't understand your comment. They are nothing like the fast food restaurants in America.

[@mariam.3224]

​​@@Arltratlowe do the same in Portugal... When we say we are going for a coffee what we really mean is: we are going to chat with our friends(or neighbors) over a cup of coffee 😉 coffee is part of our culture... And it helps us to keep some mental sanity 😉🙂

Song: Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder

[@AKAdventures]

👏🏾🙌🏾

[@TrippingTexans]

Sir Duke!! Nice. Folks gotta remember we are guest...don't trip!

[@stevesoutar3405]

"you are not a team player" - that made me laugh - thank you

[@carlfromtheoc1788]

At 5:14, that is a cathedral at the top of the hill and overlooks the whole city and it is gorgeous, as is the Mariners Church near the old harbor. There is a mall near the old harbor that contains a museum devoted to the history of Marseilles and from which you can view two of the old original docks built by the Greeks some 2,600 years ago.

[@1970sbm]

Stevie Wonder Sir Duke! I’m late to the party but your video inspired me to cruise “foreign”. We moved to East Africa so we have to fly to cruise. I didn’t want to fly back to the US and your video inspired me to consider a European or other nation cruise. Thanks!!

[@KarlaGarcia-zn3dn]

“God will provide, let’s go” 😂

[@ryeanj.3693]

I was tickled!😂😂😂

[@iluvcruising]

Y'all are so cute!! This whole video had so much to it. And the ending is hilarious. I'm tired. I'm not tired. (With all the Virgin Mood lighting going on!!!) LOL Hope y'all get to see the opulence that is Monaco. Chow!

[@nflgalsc]

Bonjour. Merci pour le vidéo. I did a BlaXit to the south of France after many summers in Marseille. I was hoping that you had a chance to visit Terrasse de Port. I wish I could have given you some tips for Marseille. Looks like you had fun. I must admit that I absolutely hate when the Virgin ship stops in my town. It is huge and blocks 50% of the port. I Hope that you had a wonderful trip. Bonne journée

[@originalxbox9924]

Hello AK family, I am a fellow American citizen too. Yes when I travel I always follow the rules, and I am always respectful, and carry myself well. Unfortunately I've also been scammed before too while I was in places like Cancun. I have to take it as a loss, because when you're in another country, the rules and laws are different from the USA. Once you get scammed in a foreign country, you're not going to win at all. Also the police in other countries especially poor countries are corrupt. You're right Aaron, you don't want to go to jail in another country, and you definitely don't want to have any interactions with the police (especially if it's in a 3rd world country). Yes the police will rob or scam you too, if you want to avoid jail time.

[@SkyAndRetiring]

So there’s no corrupt police in the U.S. ?

[@bobmcdougall8981]

What a ridiculous comment. Without any proof you are labelling ALL police in poor countries of being corrupt. You ignorant prick. 1. What is a poor country? 2. Have you met and interacted with all of the police in these “poor” countries? You depict yourself as being ignorant and arrogant with those comments.

[@Arltratlo]

against my German police, your US cops are corrupt to the bone and a danger for society!

[@lifegoalsandgoodvibez73]

I loved the view from the church ❤ I am with you when it comes to your behavior aboard. You have to make sure you understand that you are not at home, and you need to respect the country rules and customs.

[@ChristineMC74]

Great video, France is on our bucket list of travels. As Canadians, my husband & I have always respected Americans and their laws, esp when we were in West Virginia, Boston, Philadelphia and soon Florida during your election😊

[@Arltratlo]

i also went to Philly and Canada, been from Europe, common sense is all you need....something many Americans are missing! in the USA and as tourists!

[@FM-ig3th]

13:45 Sounds like the 'talk" you recieve when you first arrived at an overseas duty station in my Army days.😄 Thanks for repping our nation well!

[@blancarivera9959]

i love it. "we are tired. i'm not tired." stay real. love your videos.

[@carlosjohnson9231]

Found you guys looking for Valiant Lady videos (we're sailing to Costa Maya in October and CAN'T wait) and just wanted to say thanks the informative videos. We want to take that cruise of Barcelona next year and we promise to be well behaved American's 💯 Love your videos, we liked and subscribed and look forward to more. Take care. And Sir Duke is the Stevie Wonder song old boy was playing, a rough acoustic rendition that took a minute, but I caught the hook. 38 days and a wake until we're sailing away!

[@BruceM8]

This is my first video of yours. You guys are quite charming!

[@maddybee4523]

I did that trip on NCL from Spain and took the train ride to Monaco. you are so correct, some of us to have an entitlement when we are outside of the United States not realizing that we can get in trouble for not obeying the rules and regulations I nearly got in trouble in Italy, because I exited a store by the ‘entrance’

[@SoultoSoulTravels]

you guys are the best!! This was an awesome video!!!

[@annualtravellers]

Just come across you guy and loved this video. You are such a beautiful couple 🥰

[@Moi_81]

I really liked Pink Agave. Those dishes wasn’t on there when I was on the ship.

[@nayani224]

Loving these European cruise videos that you did ❤

[@kimberlylister8684]

We also had Marseille as a cruise port and walked to. Notre Dame! It looked easy on the map, lol!

[@steviebaptist]

I love y’all’s energy!❤😂

[@SIGCruiser]

Beautiful views!!! I absolutely LOVE the live bands on Virgin! And Pink Agave???? LOVE it! I'm back on Virgin this week and can't wait! That enchilada looks good. I may have to try that. Yeah, that's crazy. Mere words can get you locked up in another country. Some may love to show Americans how far Americanism goes in another country. And we are all winners in God's eyes, Kyra...lol

Cool to see all of the dessert options at Pink Agave

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

You're supposed to climb all the steps!!! Kidding! My knees wouldn't let me climb all those steps! A lot of churches will be closed for various services. Ask if the church will be open later in the day. Chateau D'If was the prison island where the Count of Monte Cristo was held in the novel by Alexandre Dumas. Great novel!

[@dr.reginapatrick7777]

The name of that song Stevie Wonders Feel it ALL Over!

[@rayray6820]

Another great video. Hope you guys enjoyed your time there.

[@cheeki43]

A couple of things about this video:1. I love yall! I love how you were like oh well the church was closed, the train broke down it is what it is we gonna have a good time .2 the whole yacht conversation hysterical. Yes and Amen! God will supply! 3. Thanks for talking about the social club sounds like fun on our 9/29 sailing I’ll be sure to make sure me and my husband get over there and husband you always selling tickets … no matter what you say #wifey got skills lol 4. Food is always subjective I agree! Thanks for letting me know to order the whole dessert menu at pink agave lol. 5. Americans always acting up and doing the most. I agree that’s why people in other countries don’t like us and don’t understand sometimes that just because you say your American doesn’t mean it’s a magic wand to let you skirt around the rules. And lastly in reference to Mario Cart…. #teamwifeallday😂😂😂😂😂 But in all seriousness. Love your videos and thank you for taking your time to vlog about your travels it is appreciated! Blessings to the both of you!

[@Pammellam]

A big yacht is more pricy than a Hugh house to do the upkeep!

[@arnodobler1096]

There are pickpockets at all tourist hot spots, even in the USA and elsewhere! I am a 57 year old German and have never been robbed, no matter where in Europe!

[@TeamReeseTravels]

Lord why did it have to be “us” 😫😫. Aside from somebody cutting up, this looked like an incredible time ashore and on the ship! Also Kyra I do the same thing when I lose cause one thing we not gone do is talk about it 😂

[@nataliewalters2759]

Awww so basically Kyra couldn’t back up her trash talk with Mario Kart?😂😂😂The same thing happens to me when I trash talk with my husband 😂I get humbled real quick . Also yeah that American was doing the most. 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

Hey family. Hope y’all are enjoying the cruise. Looks like alot of fun 😎🛳️

My cousin from Colorado embarrassed me so much in uk and France with her rudeness and arrogance, it was my 2nd trip with her, never again, I'm from nz we are taught "when in rome", she kept saying to people in London etc speak properly I don't understand you, can't say how many times I needed to apologise

If you haven't been on Virgin, you are missing out! I loved it and took advantage of the deal to reserve my next cruise while on board! They spoiled me. Don't let the price tag detour you; it's worth it. But I do agree. I lived overseas for many years, and I've seen many times where Americans are so entitled. I always avoid those types of people because you will get grouped with their bad behavior, or they will even try to pull you into their situation.

Yachts have high maintenance fees and docking fees. Some end up abandoned because people can't pay these fees so a person could possibly take possession of one by paying the unpaid docking fees (n some jurisdictions) a purchaser could potentially have a business of buying up abandoned ships fixing them up and reselling them. It's a drain on resources for an individual to own one and doesn't make sense unless a person operates it like a business such as organizing fishing trips or taking it to international waters for gambling (which could attract attention from unsavory types who would want a cut). It makes more sense to purchase a trip from a business offering a trip than to own the ship and expenses that go with it.

Omg the cringe with the tourist story...me and my family were in rome in august and im still going back in my head making sure i didnt represent the states bad or confirm the entitled american stereotype in any way. We gotta remember to be respectful of other people's customs when we arent home. We expect ppl to do it when they come here so we need to do the same thing in other countries.

OAN, I like the chayote. 😂I just happen to love chayote, though, there’s nothing particularly exciting about it and it takes on the flavor of what’re you put on it. Virgin’s preparation is simple and it could benefit from some lime or chili or something but I just like it as a veggie side to the heartier Mexican options.

[@lynnconroy8]

We were just on a train, from Roma termini to civitaveccia, where the cruise ship was. It was packed with carnival cruising Americans. This poor local girl was trying to get to a certain door, at a stop that only let off out one door. There was a bunch of old people, with luggage blocking the aisle and they were giving her a little teasing. She mistook the door and had to turn around. They started teasing her asking her questions. She was in a hurry and they were delaying her. I could tell she was getting upset. She was rolling her eyes and shaking her head. I almost yelled, “will y’all let her pass by”. But, my husband didn’t want any trouble, even from the old farts, which we are too. They thought they were so funny and lighthearted, but they were aggravating the entire train car. People in Europe don’t do that type of thing, funny or not. Yeah, they don’t like us Americans. Lol
