My Hubby is CRUISING WITHOUT ME!?! - Sunday Sofatime

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

DOH! Got the date wrong again!

[@beckymoran321]

17 years together is a great accomplishment in this day and age! Just thought I would give you both a “high five” on that.

[@inthedark7059]

The first time 11 years ago for our first vacation I made sure to discuss with him what his preferences were. Early/late riser, beach/pool, organized tours/discoveries. It worked so well that my husband is and will always be my #1 travel partner. No fighting, squabbling, or pouting. Just good vibes all around. I will leave him in the room and go for long walks on the beach or just relax by the pool and eventually he will come and join me. Love him:))

[@mandydessureault5192]

This is my husband and I as well.

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

I totally understand the stress of being with your loved ones while cruising!! Nice that you can choose what you each enjoy and do it without judging each other harshly. I'm just now getting used to cruising with just hubby and not kiddos on our vacations!

[@teresamagnusson8711]

I can so relate to the light sleeping. I've been that way for over 20 years. You are not alone.

[@claresinclair8030]

Wow, your hair looks soooo good, I'm glad you finally have taken your hat off. You must be so pleased.

[@andreagriffiths3512]

I hope both you and Markus have wonderful cruises.

[@pen4tenn]

If occasionally cruising with out your hubby works for you that is great. I think sometimes a week apart is refreshing, it shows that you are in a trusting, functional relationship. My hubby and I are polar opposite on so many things , his strong traits are my weaknesses and vice versa. He sleeps and snores and I dont sleep! That is ok too. We recently lost a very good friend and it has taught me to be thankful for every day with my spouse and every breath we take! Perspective. Congrats on 17 years, we have been together for 20 years and married for 16+.

[@ErikStroehlein]

So I can 100% understand how sleeping alone can be a dream! I am also a very light sleeper. Love your show!

[@reginaobrien8983]

I love my husband totally, but he will not consider a cruise. In the past I went with my son but now he’s moving up in his career. So now I have solo cruising plans. It can be lonely, but the pros outweigh the cons for sure. Always love your videos!

[@sirannaangel]

Have a great time. Looking forward to next week as usual

[@JeffreyInPS]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder! Cheers to both of you.

[@angelaroman6016]

Hi Morgan! I love all of your vlogs! You bring such a unique variety of informative & entertaining & humorous vlogs! Thank you!

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Thanks, Angela!

[@tulaandtherabbittadventure19]

22 years together here and just love your videos here and guten Morgan

[@margaretlm]

Light sleeper here too. I typically wake up at least 2x every night and if it's after 3:30 am it's highly unlikely I will be able to get back to sleep at all. My husband and I have a similar dynamic. We respect each other as individuals and have 100% trust in the strength of our relationship. I think that's what allows us the confidence and freedom to pursue our own interests as well as enjoying time together. We've been happy together for 21 years and looking forward to many, many more!

[@kaitlynthurman]

I learned during the quarantine times that it's really nice to spend some time separately so you can come together and share your experiences with each other! Hope you both have a great time!

[@amandadean3948]

1. Light sleeper here also. Can’t remember the last time I’ve slept through an entire night. 2. Totally agree about couples doing things both together and separately. I’m definitely an “absence makes the heart grow fonder” type person and can’t be with my partner 24/7.

[@hollym1821]

I have taken several solo trips without the husband or others. The husband has only recently started venturing solo, but has found it just as nice. We love our adventures together, but we also recognize we have different interests. I don't want him to spend his time worrying if I'm bored or not. He also doesn't want to hold me back from doing things he doesn't want to do. I think it's very healthy for relationships to have a little time apart. My commercial was for Lexus.

[@loribarber4526]

Live your extra life! Enjoy!!!

[@arknfrogontheroadoflife4501]

I’m also a light sleeper. My kids always said i would wake up if a gnat farted. LOL. I went on my first solo cruise the last week of April this year. No hubby!!! See I was paying attention. Anyway. You are SO right about the stressfree-ness. (Not a word). But I loved not having to OK something all day with whoever i was with. I just did my own thang!!!!!

[@laureljaneg]

Congrats on 17 years together!! Got a Princess cruise ad that’s cool more like a KZbin video than anything else. It featured the serenity area. I get your thing about flying. Im flying to join a cruise but not until January. And I canceled my flight and one airline because the time which is legal apparently like 45 minutes between flights!! Booked with a different airline with an hour between flights. Looking forward to you on your upcoming recruits. Thank you for all you do Morgan

[@karenspurlock317]

I use the term "hubby" all the time because "Big Hunk of man I love with all my heart" takes to long to type. 🤷🏽‍♀️😁

[@cathyw3413]

I take 2-3 hour naps throughout the night...every night! It's been years and years since I've slept a normal night. Glad I'm not alone!

[@TheresaForino]

My husband and I are what is called "Sleep Divorced" for many years now. He has Sleep apnea and uses a cpap, however, he has an issue with his mouth opening during the night and the noise is very annoying. I have issues too, I have a badly injured lower back, a bad outdoors on the side of a mountain rock climbing fall many, many years ago, along with restless leg syndrome and chronic insomnia Makes me a very restless sleeper. So we can't be in the same bed at night, so we Sleep in separate rooms. If we could when we cruise afford separate cabins we would, however, we deal with it, have to love separate beds and white noise sound machines. We also do lots of things separately, he's been away at a friend's in the mid-west and I'm at home. There are times I go home and visit family or gone cross country to visit friends and he's stayed home, he has even taken several month long trips to Japan with his anime friends. It's good to do things apart from one another, it's healthy to have separate interest, and now we are going on almost 25 years together.

[@elizabethwhite1559]

With two kids and a husband, I fantasize about solo travel!! Worrying only about myself is a luxury.

[@johannebrsted6495]

I am single, and always have been, so it's never been an issue. But watching couples around me, who seem joined at the hip when on holiday, I love your perspective on it. I did a one month trip in New Zealand, travelling on a minibus with 15 other people. I spent an extra amount of money to have a room for myself (the default was a shared room in a backpackers/youth hostel). I really needed a bit of personal space, after a 10 hour day with my (lovely) travel companions! And I can imagine, that if you're used to spending your workdays apart (for 8-9 hours), then you still might need some time apart on holiday. Have a great time on your seperate cruises! Oh: I got a commercial for Veet Pure wax.... I guess KZbin thinks my legs need doing ...

[@richardgriffiths3206]

Great video Morgan. Thank you. My partner & I are great travellers together, however it is important to do our own thing from time to time. Enjoy your respective cruises. Looking forward to hearing about your river experience.

[@reginaobrien8983]

Thanks!

[@maryevans1972]

I am recently divorced and took my first solo cruise in May and I had a fabulous time. Did what I wanted when I wanted. It was the most relaxing trip and plan to solo travel again.

[@wendyfitz00]

Thanks for the Apple thumbs up tip!

[@Cruisebetty]

Great video ! Have a great cruise.

[@eleanor4482]

Loved this. I can definitely relate to the get away from the snoring part. Enjoy your cruise and thanks for sharing.😎

[@PsychGirlRaven]

MORGAN!! You showed us your hair! I’m not far enough I to the video yet to know if you’ve said not to make a big deal about it, but it looks great!

[@Steve_in_NJ]

Good for Markus!!! I've been with my hubby for almost 27 years!!!!!!!!! We are the Yin and Yang of each other and as we get older (we're both 62), there's some medical issues that we need the other to help take care of. I would travel alone, but I don't have the income (I can relate to you Morgan), and hubby is a workaholic (which he sometimes needs to be to fill in the income gap as I'm no longer able to work). Maybe, you can teach Markus how to video short segments so you can show your viewers what this new Aida ship looks like (and translate the German/Deutsch into English).

[@carolynlewis6232]

You go Markus! I mostly cruise solo and I love it.

[@AidaJof]

Hey Morgan, nice to see you back and by the way you are looking very handsome! I wondered why I have not received YT notifications for your videos and yes, it also happened to me, I was unsubscribed ... all taken care of and I am back. Yes, as to being a light sleeper, I am one and yes I also nap during the daytime ... guess what? The older you get, the less sleep you need; however, I do sleep better if I drink milk or have a bit of cereal before going to bed and wake up much rested. People watching on airports ... OMG. Nowadays you see practically EVERYTHING. As to traveling apart once a year, not a big deal especially if you are both comfortable doing so. As to you having cruised with Aida before and now Markus cruising with the newest Aida ... funny, I do not remember having cruised with you guys ... he he he😆😅😊 Seriously, though - I wish I was fluent in German as I would like to sail on this one.

[@donnaschuepbach3830]

Target ad. 53 years of marriage to my high-school "hubby". Loved every minute of it. But we were not joined at the hip. If you're together 24/7, what do you talk about? LOL! You and Marcus have a GREAT cruises and have fun talking about it when you're home.

[@cruisingnurse5443]

I have always traveled alone. I enjoy it immensely BUT I so agree - cruising solo is SO expensive!!

[@videofan1010]

Welp Morgan - you go places without Markus all the time 😂

[@margoanchorage883]

I am the same way! I wake up prob every hour or two at night. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

[@shar159]

Vacationing alone sounds amazing. I'm getting ready to take my first solo vacay in a couple weeks. I doubt I will sleep unless I take a recording of my hubby snoring and the dogs barking. Yes I'm a light sleeper too. I wake up to mouse toots. I can't wait!

[@judydale9661]

Enjoyed the video.

[@marthat4258]

When you were describing your sleeping patterns I thought he could be talking about me!

[@KarynHill]

I am also a light sleeper. I live and sleep alone so I don't ordinarily have to worry about someone snoring, breathing loudly, moving around, etc. I have in the past and my sleep during those times was also essentially a series of naps. I've taken a few trips where I've had to share a room with someone (or a cabin with several) and while it isn't perfect, I put in ear buds and turn on the White Noise app (the "brown noise" one seems to work best for me). It's not perfect but it's a huge improvement. Even alone I sleep with a fan to cover most normal nighttime noises.

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

I have a hard time sleeping with headphones that make me deaf to the outside world. It makes me anxious! I MUST have a fan on, so I totally understand the white noise thing.

[@sarahmoores2724]

As they say, “distance makes the heart grow fonder”

[@malissahuff6638]

[@habracken8004]

My SO & I have been together for more than 10 years but we’re senior citizens which means we’ve been constantly together for the last three years. I would LOVE to have a week away. I used to travel alone all the time. I kinda miss it. My guy has anxiety so isn’t comfortable doing new things. He would never admit that though. Lol

[@JC-bl9bo]

Yes! I sleep the same exact way and have since as far as I can remember. We are around the same age also.

[@clement2780]

friends reunion is fun. cruise offer choice unlike bus train tours

[@sallyshort7255]

I had an ad for Boost something 🤷🏻‍♀️. If Markus likes to take pictures, it might be a video idea for you to share whatever pictures he’s willing to share. I mean still images of ship or his cabin and you retelling whatever he tells you behind the scenes. I know he’s not usually into the videos much, but if he’s taking pictures anyway and isn’t uncomfortable with you sharing, I think his trips would be interesting even if the format is different that what you usually do. I’ve also been thinking that in another video, you mentioned making salad dressings at home. If you’re willing to share, I think that idea would fit your Guten Morgan channel 😉.

[@jodellzambrano8580]

I agree. I go places on my own quite often. In a couple of weeks I’m going to another state for my high school reunion. Hubby (I’ve used this term for years) would be bored stiff and, frankly, I don’t want to entertain him when I’m with friends I only see about every five years. Besides, isn’t the saying, “absence makes the heart grow fonder?” Or is it “ out of sight, out of mind?” I always get those two confused!

[@danasandoval624]

I am a very light sleeper like you I never sleep through a night and my husband snores I mean really snores so we sleep in separate rooms at home. Yes I have ear plugs but trust me with him you feel the snoring!! When on vacation we take turns sleeping on the couch (extra bed) I use my ear plugs and do the best I can. I love him but I also enjoy doing my own thing and we are both very much our own person. By the way been together 36 years. I love your videos so glad I found you. Looking forward to your River Cruise video.

[@pauladams7360]

Thx, love your energy ... love you both... one day we hope to cruise with Marcus and you on Celebrity.

[@TheFtm22]

My DH and I will celebrate 32 years married this week. One of the biggest secrets to a long and happy marriage - personal space. One day perhaps we will cruise- I used to worry about getting seasick and now it's a different reason. But anyway, I wanted you to know someone else doesn't have to be with each other (24/7/365)

[@Warriorbox]

I travel solo and love the upsides you mention, but also feel the downsides - sometimes I wish I could share the experience with another person. Also the cost is hard to bear when I am paying almost for two people. People often ask me if I am afraid to travel alone, but if you prepare properly there is no need to be. When I was married we did need to have separate and different interests and I think that is healthy in a relationship.

[@23oakhill]

I usually cruise solo, it has ups and downs I agree. The cost is painful but solo cabins are almost impossible to book, and also so tiny and almost always inside which I cannot do, tried inside once and had to ask to be moved to outside and pay the huge extra cost on board. I had acute claustrophobia , never knew.! I have solved the eating alone problem , book freedom/ anytime dining and ask to be sat on a big mixed table. You make great friends and I enjoy it very much.

[@Warriorbox]

@@23oakhill Yes Alison I would so agree with your last point, its a great way to have interesting and unusual encounters and I would recommend table sharing to any solo traveler.

[@mairiferguson8886]

Good on you guys for respect. My partner and I are the same.....same but different. I like churches and history, he likes food and experience...we work it out. Enjoy our together time but also our individual time. Good on you!

[@Keep-on-ok]

My husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms simply because he snores and likes the room really cold! However, I don’t think I would like to cruise without him. Eating alone in a restaurant would not be comfortable for me. Everyone’s different!

[@paulcalhoun6339]

In this day and age I was kind of surprised you thought you had to comment on the fact you were travelling separately. I took a vacation to Mexico with a married friend way back around 1980. No one thought anything of it.

Shocked because he is a Cunard fan and you are the vlogger

[@summerbee4351]

So true! Good to do things alone in a relationship. Even necessary! If it would not be that expensive to cruse single.... But sometimes there are good deals you can look for. But I also would have been very interested in AIDA COSMA. Perhaps you can give us a little feedback from Markus. Wishing you both great cruises!

[@machellep1]

The double cost is why I don’t cruise more. I won’t pay it. Just realized the all inclusive resorts do the same thing. That’s single travel discrimination!!!!! We need to start a complaint campaign.

[@saskia-travel7seas]

Thanks for the video. Both enjoy your cruises. I travel solo regularly and enjoy being completely independent from someone else. The price for solo travellers is an issue, but I booked the 3 cruises I have done so far without any extra charge (all during this pandemic). Now I was lucky enough to win a cruise for 2 people and realised, there are just 3 persons I would voluntarily share a cabin with 🤔. Maybe I got weird over time and am used to having my own place and doing what I want regardless of others 😂. Guess what: I‘ll cruise solo again (2 friends didn’t get holiday, son would travel with me and to this destination but not on a cruise ship). I wish you and Markus a wonderful Sunday

[@maddy01010]

Id like to see aida Cosma. But i may be the only one here. Id like to see a rivercruise too. Sometimes its good to do your own thing. Makes for more quality time when back together. Airports are not worth the hassle right now, unless you REALLY have to.

My hubby & I went on all vacations together - we loved doing everything together (we even worked together) - we only had 11 years together (he passed away suddenly & much too young) - but I cherish our 11 years and our vacations (which included a Hawaiian vacation & a Seattle vacation & Disney World a few times every year)!
