Tressa, you seem like such a curious adventurer. I love how respectful YOU are to the different cultures and locations you are visiting. As a former teacher, I particularly appreciate the intelligence you display while explaining your surroundings. I can't wait to see your next adventure.

[@bztravel]

Thank you, I believe that travel is not just about seeing new places, but also about understanding them.

[@bethonetwo]

Love, love, love Montevideo. Hopefully, we can get back there one day.

i need to copy this cruise asap

[@Mscharblake]

As usual, your video documenting your wonderful trip around the world did not disappoint!! Qustion: in one of your previous videos, i thought you had said you two actually live in Europe, not the states. May i ask which country, and do you love it there? Thank you! ❤

[@patiseme]

i wait every day to see your next video of your new destination. my big dream is to go on a world cruise.

[@SatireQueen1]

I am all caught up finally and now a subscriber. Your vlogs are so awesome and informative. You guys show honest footage of your destinations, and I really appreciate it. Your editing is phenomenal, and I can't wait until the next video. I am so glad I found you two. None of the other vloggers are as consistent nor detailed as you guys. Also, has anyone ever told you that your speaking voice sounds like Carly Simon? Happy Travels

[@michellelaitinen2527]

If I am not mistaken when you were in the market and commenting about the latte that they drink with the straws, those cups with straws are for Yerba Mate. It is a type of tea grown in S. America and very popular. The end of the straw inside the cup has a bulb at the bottom with little holes to drink it as the tea leaves are brewed in it. You should try Yerba Mate, its a little different, but nice.

[@bztravel]

Thank you for your insightful comment! You're absolutely right. The cups with straws we mentioned in the market are indeed for Yerba Mate, a traditional South American tea that's immensely popular in the region. The unique straw, known as a 'bombilla,' is designed to filter the tea leaves as you drink. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and enhancing our journey with such interesting cultural insights!

[@areguapiri]

​@@bztravel...And many people call the cup a "guampa". Especially in Paraguay.

[@TeachSaveTravel]

Off work today for the holiday! So I am here living for ya'll!!!! Love how you cover your destinations ❤

[@jucsmiles5922]

Another great video. So, glad you're sharing this adventure with us. Looking forward to the next video.

[@bztravel]

Your anticipation and support mean the world to us, and we're looking forward to bringing you along on every step of this incredible journey. See you in the next video!

[@mgtow1562]

I enjoyed having a wine lunch with you two myself....this virtual cruise is so much fun for this retired guy......

[@bztravel]

Looking forward to sharing more adventures with you.

[@MarkSibthorpe-yg8zu]

Thanks for these vlogs, really impressed how quickly you get them out. As loyal to Royal was really interested how this cruise panned out. Also impressed with you trying to capture the culture of each stop and by your knowledge. Does the ship give you any education about the places you go or is it your own research. So well done. Only gripe was when you asked your husband who was the statue is in the main square, perhaps “don’t know” would have been a better answer than “who cares”, well I’m sure the people from Uruguay care, he made himself look like the stereotype American tourist, if it’s not about the US then, “who cares”. Which is ironically everything you don’t appear to be and why your vlogs are so good.

[@bztravel]

Thank you for your kind words and for following our vlogs! We're glad to hear that you appreciate the effort we put into releasing them promptly and capturing the essence of each destination. About the comment on the statue, we truly appreciate your honest feedback. It's a valid point. In defense of the US tourists my husband is Bulgarian. Thank you once again for your support and for sharing your thoughts with us.

[@MarkSibthorpe-yg8zu]

That’s OK, really not a big point, (aware in a message that might look bigger than meant), Shame on me for assuming your husband was American, must admit my knowledge of Bulgarian tourists is pretty limited 😊 but keep up the good work as you are doing a great job. You must have to really discipline yourself about eating, if I have a 7 day cruise I feel like a pig, after 9 months I think they would be rolling me off the ship.

[@bettyditillo1425]

Wow!!! What a great tour! Loved the dancing exhibition and what great wine pours!!

[@bztravel]

Wow, thank you for your enthusiastic comment!

[@JBG85]

Your vlogs are getting better & better! I really enjoyed the editing, music & B roll on this one!

[@bztravel]

Your appreciation really motivates us to continue improving with each video. For two retirees from the paper and pen generation we take pride of what we have learn.

[@jeffgriffith6839]

Great video as usual. Appreciate your unbiased review! Looking forward to your next vlog.

Hey guys, Tampa here. I heard as did everyone, the flooding a few days ago. So sorry to here about this, let alone see the videos of the flooding. The "listing" is what I would have been concerned about, however, the Captain and crew always come to the rescue, and you two are now back on schedule. Hope you didn't have a soggy cabin. Looking forward to the next time. Sail safe.

[@bztravel]

Actually it was just a cloudy day with a 30 minutes heavy rain. Something was left open and some carpets got wet. NO LISTING. Atention seeking laying lady made the whole thing way more then actualy was. Our families and friends were worried. The Titanic pose on the nose of the ship in the video was done on the same day before sunset.

[@Thomas_Heinonen]

Wonderful video again :) Such a contrast in weather from here in Norway, we have -27 C , I cant wait for warmer weather :) Safe travel BZ 😊

[@bztravel]

We're glad to bring a slice of our travels to you, and hopefully, our videos can provide a bit of virtual sunshine until the real thing comes your way. Stay warm and cozy for now.

[@dboutier5636]

My kind of city. Apparently Coca-Cola is really popular there. Not a wine drinker but I do love my Coke. Thanks for the great and interesting videos that let me travel vicariously

[@bztravel]

It's always interesting to see how certain global brands are embraced in different cultures.

[@herenow6953]

I'm loving this trip with you! I saw in the news that there was a flooding problem on your ship - the Ultimate World Cruise has caught a lot of attention! It was said to be from heavy rain as you battled storms down the coast of South America - I'm guessing not too big a problem as it doesn't seem to have impacted you? Hope it doesn't impact the cruise for you -

@@bztravel I'm glad it was a non event - goes to show how hyped up the news gets and why I generally avoid it and look for relaxing, informative content like yours here on KZbin :) Thank you for replying - I'm so glad you are having a great trip

[@rosemarybrandl7895]

That was a wonderful tour, glad you took it. Was it dinner or lunch time at the restaurant?

[@bztravel]

Thank you for your comment, the footage from the ship was the dinner.

[@karlsmith7016]

How does entertainment work? Do they literally have 274 different shows? Also what about mdr menus? Surely they don't change every night without any repeats?

[@bztravel]

The menu is on a 28 day cycle with local dishes introduced in different locations. The world cruise is basically 17 individual cruises back to back, we just started the second one, and tonight was the first repeat. Some areas are hard to fly in entertainers.

[@karlsmith7016]

@@bztravel great thanks for that information. And what is the deal with day to day acitivies on the ship? Do they repeat the same game shows etc? I'm used to cruising on quantum and oasis class ships but I assume even the smaller ships have game shows? And lastly I'm wondering what is the deal with bringing alcohol back onboard the ship as usually it is kept until the last night of the cruise but with it being 274 nights if you're taking the whole thing are there any different rules? Many thanks and love from the UK

[@constandina1976]

How did you know where to go every time you in a harbour. Did you download the map in Google

[@cmderinchief]

1:40 Dad…comb your hair. 😆

[@bztravel]

We have to bring Al back to our table. After Buenos Aires RC remixed the table sitings.

[@BookmavenUSA]

How did the flooding onboard effect you ?

[@bztravel]

It was just a cloudy day with 30 minutes havy rain, something was left open and some carpets got wet. Few attention and klick seeking posters got our families worried.

[@guille2635]

The name of the country is URUGUAY NOT URAGUAY. Just learn the basics before making any comments...

[@bztravel]

Thank You for the correction.
