UPSET wife and a DIRTY resort | RIU Palace Paradise Island | Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas

[@SeeItWithC]

Dee's love for Christmas makes my heart smile. That cab situation was an entire fool. The cab stand inside of the new port area was supposed to make catching a taxi easier.

[@philanddeetravels]

Shed keep a tree up all year if I let her. And yea that taxi stand was useless! It served no purpose other than us walking up saying we need a taxi. That's it! How soon you got in a taxi determined how much God was smiling down on you at the time. Lol

[@chiefroberts5328]

Pro tip. Just walk out to the main road and grab a taxi like near starbucks. That whole new area they built is a racket.

[@philanddeetravels]

Oh wow thank you! We will try this way next time.

[@Heymscarter]

Thanks for the heads up on the resort. I would not have been happy about the look of the resort by what you all showed us.

[@philanddeetravels]

No problem! Yea I had to let yall know before yall spent yalls hard earned money there. Everyone deserves better than that.

[@Heymscarter]

@@philanddeetravels facts!

[@blessedcogi1]

I was going to stay at the Riu thank you for honest review; work to hard for our $$

[@philanddeetravels]

Glad we could help! Thank you for watching.

[@user-Carmen_Parker]

Hey Phil and Dee 😃😃👋🏾👋🏾 glad you were able to make the best of your day. Yeah, they do need to clean up the resort, though!

[@philanddeetravels]

Yea we tried to stay in positive spirits. Spent too much money to be sitting up with our lips poked out.

[@YourFavoriteCouple]

6 cruise ships in port!! Nassau stays busy! We don't blame Dee for being upset with the transportation situation. Phil's new name is International Phil. He has connections everywhere! Thank you for your transparency with Nassau RIU. They need a full makeover. Guys spend more time in the restroom than at the pool. That's why they have an outlet next to each urinal, lol. Great video!!!

[@philanddeetravels]

Yea.... Nassau need to chill on that many ships! But hey if it helping your economy, I get it. Yea that transportation thing was a MESS! The vibe was just completely thrown off and we lost a alot of time in port because of it. Naw idk about that name. I only know like 3 people out there. Lol an entire make over from top to bottom. I was like at most they gonna get 1 extra percent. Cuz I'm not hanging out in there and shole ain't leaving my phone in there. Lol

[@biancasmith7241]

That is one thing I did find disappointing with the port of Nassau. I am also so glad they fixed the port. I didn’t like getting off there by myself because I didn’t feel safe. But looking forward to seeing the updates

[@philanddeetravels]

Yea it's a shame that we had to experience that. But yes the new port is absolutely beautiful. Love what they've done with the place. Hopefully the service can 1 day be as good as the port looks. Yes we understand, especially being a solo woman. Always have to keep your eyes peeled at all times.

[@gamechanger5779]

I'm just shaking my head....shenanigans!!! Y'all have a good recovery, thank you for the review. 🤎

[@philanddeetravels]

Oooweee!!!! The Lord was testing our patience that day! 🤣 You're welcome and thanks for watching.

[@MyCruisingFamily]

Good information here, fam! Thanks for sharing. After getting through the taxi situation, it looked like a pretty chill day, drinks poolside and all. Not the chipped paint, bird poop, and moldy stuff.🤢

[@philanddeetravels]

Thank you! Yea we noticed all the chips and mold when we 1st got there but it was just a lot going on especially after trying to calm down about the taxi situation. I hope they get that place back together and soon.

[@TheLogans13]

What’s good yall They need to shut that resort down and fix that mess

[@philanddeetravels]

IMMEDIATELY!!! That don't make any sense! I'm glad we were not there to stay.

[@MiaC.]

Thank you for an honest review!

[@philanddeetravels]

No problem.

[@ZenaRoque]

I was in Nassau this past December with my family and we experienced the same taxi situation. It took us over 45 minutes to get a taxi to or excursion and I was fuming 😡 I did notice that the Disney passengers got buses without any issues and we were on Royal. Since we booked through the cruise line we made a complaint and got some of our money back.

[@philanddeetravels]

So we were there around the same time! But yea disney does secure buses for those with excursions. You get what you pay for I guess. Disney always provides immaculate service. But why were yall on a royal excursion and they didn't have vans dedicated to royal guests? Are you telling me yall had to find yalls own way to yalls excursion booked via the cruiseline? Or did yall have to wait on yalls dedicated shuttle for the excursion to show up?

[@keshiah-stayblessed]

Phil you be trying but upsetting the wife with horrible taxi services, limited time at an all inclusive resort that was small and dirty. But she still looked cute throughout all the trauma…lol. Glad y’all were still able to have a good time anyway. Charging phone while at the urinal - what kinda sanitizing station in there besides soap and water for the hands? Ewww! Glad our girl Dee love you and does NOT cuss. Thanks for sharing fam. Peace and blessings. ✌🏾🛳️🌺

[@philanddeetravels]

How was I supposed to know the taxi service wasn't that great and the resort had poop all over it? 🤣 I guess I should start reading reviews huh? Lol the guest that actually stayed on the property were over it! We talked to a few and they were not pleased. We encouraged them to try other RIU properties. We felt so bad for them.

[@keshiah-stayblessed]

@@philanddeetravels Well I definitely appreciate you and Dee as well as MH Family for scoping out the good and not-So-good resort for a day spots for us. We’ll give you a pass on this one. 😉

[@philanddeetravels]

🤣🤣🤣 no problem! We're just trying to keep the people informed! Lol

[@latonyanichols4550]

I love yall!!!! Just subscribed!!! Yall remind me of me and my husband. We love to travel and have a 3 yr old son who we're taking on his first cruise tomorrow on carnival valor. This will be our second time on valor and his first.

[@philanddeetravels]

Awww thank you and welcome aboard! I hope your 3 yr old enjoys cruising just as much as ours. That's all you ever hear him talking about now is going on a cruise. He's already hooked. The Valor was a good time for us and was also our sons 1st cruise.

[@cherylmurray628]

Nice done! As always.

[@philanddeetravels]

I appreciate that! Thank you.

[@markstringer4452]

Dee you did a good job, but you are right about them wanting to fill up their vans.

[@Dailyydoseofdee]

Thank you!

[@philanddeetravels]

She did! And even offered a solution that made complete sense! Hope that you've been doing well! 😁

[@nettnettwarren1432]

Thanks for your honest review. I’m going to RIU Jamaica in March. So far nothing but good reviews. ❤ When we were in Nassau they held us up like that too waiting to completely fill the taxi boat. 🤨

[@philanddeetravels]

No problem. Just making sure people are well informed. We've heard good things about the 1 in jamaica. If you remember, please let us know how your experience went. We'd live to hear about it. I understand filling up your taxis, but please have a mote effective system, don't argue in front of guests, and please know how many people your taxi can hold. Lol

[@travelvibeswithangel]

Babbyyyy, Dee is not feeling this. They need some revamping. I agree, the resort needs some upgrades, as well.

[@philanddeetravels]

Not feeling it at all! But yea something must be done about that resort, and ASAP!

[@FatMackington]

And to think I was considering this the next time I’m in Nassau #NoSirNotMe lol

[@philanddeetravels]

Glad we could help out with that. You don't have to worry about taking this L.

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey guys. Upset wife and dirty resort???? Uh oh. Sorry about that. I’m watching. Seen a few Vloggers spend the day at a Rui resort and it was great but it wasn’t Nassau. It’s raining 🌧️? Taxi foolishness. Rubbish. Quite frustrating. Sorry you went through all that. Hopefully the food and drinks were good. Yessss🙌🏼. See’s in the water. But how Phil missed his mouth 🍹😂? At least the sun ☀️ came out. I’d be concerned about a taxi 🚕 back too. Oh my. That’s made poop. Wow. The resort needs to be refurbished. Over $100 each? Wow. Oh the taxi took just you too back? Cool 😎. Love how you support your wife Phil 🙏🏼. Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@philanddeetravels]

Yea.... this was quite the disappointing day. As we said we tried our best to make the most of it since we were on vacation, but it was still a let down. The food was ok though. Idk how I missed my entire mouth 🤣🤣🤣 I promise I wasn't drunk lol yea the taxi situation made us nervous going back but luckily they were lined up right down the street from the resort. Yea they need a whole make over for that resort. Thanks as always gor watching. We really do appreciate it.

[@onthegowithyolo]

Yeah packing out bus and making everyone wait is not nice. We found out in San Juan they are contracted to fill their buses. Our guy was pissed he had two open seats.

[@philanddeetravels]

But miss counting and making us go back and then yall sit there and fight in our face and then make us wait?!?! I was about to call off the entire day and just go back to the ship at that point. Like yall playing with our time and I don't appreciate it. And contracted? Wow! Never heard that before.

[@onthegowithyolo]

Great vlog!

[@philanddeetravels]

Preciate you for always coming through...

[@KimberlyH2022]

Whew! Imagine if y’all chose that resort for a full vacation 😟😖

[@philanddeetravels]

Man!!!! And I felt bad for the guests who were staying there. They did not seem to be in high spirits when I talked to them. They all seemed to have regretted their decision to stay there. I told multiple of them that this is not your typical RIU experience. I tried to encourage them to give RIU another chance at other resorts. But I think a lot of them were scared of being burned again which is understandable.

[@anthonyonthemove]

Glad you made the best out of the entire experience. Now, that hotel is nasty. 👀 Thanks for sharing that but of info.

[@philanddeetravels]

Yes, it was either that or go back to the ship. But had we known that resort looked like that and we didn't already pay the rest of our money at the front desk, we probably should have. 🤣 you're welcome.

[@TrippingTexans]

Great storyteller!!! Christmas to the rescue. Not a good look for RIU. Phil got friends everywhere.

[@philanddeetravels]

She is very good! She has all the details lol thank goodness for Christmas! Yea this is a very bad look for riu. They need to get it together. And I have a few here and there lol

[@onthegowithyolo]

Oh nah, I ain’t going.. 😂

[@philanddeetravels]

🤣🤣🤣 please don't! At least not until they so some serious cleaning and maintenance to the property.

[@allenfamilyadventures859]

The cab situation at ports always makes me angry. It’s like come on don’t make small groups wait to get bigger ones. Jeremy and I had this booked for February but we got a refund because Allure of the Seas couldn’t dock. They definitely need some major improvements!

[@philanddeetravels]

The Seas were too rocky??? But yea we understand filling the vans, but don't play and mishandle us like that.

[@JohnRichardson1983]

What Thee Entire.............🤬😡After the 1st mishap I would have lost my cool, & the 2nd mishap I'd be asking for my MONEY back, number 3 I'm Cussing Everybody Out!!!!!!!

[@philanddeetravels]

Yea.... believe it or not, Dee is the 1 who will usually say something, I try to sit back and be nice. But it was the last day of our vacation so we weren't trying to be pissed on the way back home. Didn't want to end it on a bad note. It was also my birthday trip so we didn't want to ruin it. But if it weren't, this vlog may have turned out a lot different 🤣

[@JohnRichardson1983]

@@philanddeetravels Exactly, had to talk to God for a quick minute on the side. Not tryna do 12 years in Prison. 🥲😇😁

[@philanddeetravels]

@@JohnRichardson1983 right! You can't act a fool over there! And we didn't have our son with us on this trip! 🤣

[@cocomill9468]

This somewhat typical; they’re working it for that money. It is annoying for sure. Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@philanddeetravels]

Yes, we understood that too, but like you said it's very annoying. But I think we were more annoyed at the fact that they miscounted and sent us back to wait even longer. No problem. Thanks for watching.

[@MsRiceTravels]

Were they only trying to pick up the ‘YT’ folks? Unfortunately I have experienced this as well. SMH

[@philanddeetravels]

I guess we were nieve to that seeing that we had the same skin color. Neve really thought about that. I'm sorry you experienced that. We will see if we notice the next time we visit.

[@denali6935]

I mean was the room dirty? that is what matters more the title kinda misleading

[@philanddeetravels]

If you visit, feel free to let us know if things have changed. We would love to find out. Thanks for watching. 😁

[@user-ny9mt1yr8u]

Been there a couple times place is worn nothing to do in the evening food tastes like trash worst RIU of the chain place should be torn down and start over dirty dirty

[@philanddeetravels]

Definitely not the best riu we've been to. And we love a good riu resort, but this 1 let us down.

[@kimkirksey3018]

Stop turning up your face...that is not cute...you seem to have a good husband...do not take that for granted...what are you so mean about

[@philanddeetravels]

Thank you so much for your comment. I, in fact, do not just have a good husband but a great husband who happens to love my face in its many forms. The breakdown in the video explains in great detail the reason for my annoyance. Thank you for your concern and support of our channel.
