@@LukeofAllTrades. lol I’ve been on Navigator of the sea ,3 times this year, then going back on that ship in February 2025 , just booked ovation of the sea today, and then next year in October I will be flying to England to board the independence of the sea . I really have found cruising to be fun and also relaxing . Thanks for your video

Hi Luke , Great vid with all these tips ! I’ll be boarding this ship in Honolulu , Hawaii to sail back to Sydney , Australia, 18 night cruise in Oct. You definitely showed us some things to check out when onboard. That mechanical drink machine is on my list ..Lol, I just got to try it. I’ll check out your Wonderland vid , that food looked interesting. Cheers Rod 🤙

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

Thanks Rod! 18 nights on Ovation sounds amazing, plenty of time to do everything! Be sure to check out my other channel for more cruising tips! I linked to a video in the pinned comment!

The solarium is a free choice too?

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

Yes!

[@barbaraengle3886]

B4! I didn't catch that till watching a 2nd time. you're great. thank you!

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

I don't always get muster station B4, but I always do the muster drill BEFORE anything else! But sometimes both happen! Thanks for watching!

[@shiloann5136]

This was awesome, thank you!!

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@candydavis5905]

Any comedy shows?

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

Those are usually provided by the guest entertainers they have onboard, and there is usually at least one during every sailing. So yes, probably!

[@Oaklandish70]

GREAT TIPS!

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

Thanks!

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

Great video I will just keep it as a dream for me to go on a cruise 🛳

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

Inside rooms on Alaskan cruises are a lot cheaper that you might think, especially last minute!

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

@@LukeofAllTrades. thx u I will keep that in mind 👍

[@jennybentancort1683]

Yes you know why the solarium is empty cause the food is disgusting... Could not swallow it ..

[@LukeofAllTrades.]

I didn't try everything, but most of what I had was pretty good. A lot of it was the same stuff they had elsewhere.

[@zaneshepherd5245]

We liked it 🤷‍♂
