Tried to order, but they don't deliver to the UK. Any help..

wait for another largest cruise ship name the icon it will out next year

yes sir I'd like to see that video and I love all your videos!!! I hope you and everyone is having a wonderful and Blessed day!!!!

query: the ice skating rink..is it a real rink, as in ice rink or is it a layer of plastic...? a few years back (pre covid) there was this travelling rink that spent a week at my local shopping centre..it wasn't a 'real' ice rink, but a form of plastic squares that were laid down on the floor that real ice skates seemed to glide over easily..it was quite fun and, thankfully, not cold..

Oh I'm with you. 20k would net you a return Queens Grill transatlantic voyage on QM2 with a healthy bar tab to boot

And they know you're an influencer so aren't most of these videos and flights not coming out of your pocket? They comp these suites and flights knowing it's advertisement from your channel!

Agreed!

The qm2 is an outdated shithole. The only reason people sail on it is because it’s the only regular transatlantic sailing.

20k is not the norm, this is still one of the wonder’s first voyages.

Thought the same… when he said „the drinks were expensive“ I was like: YOU PAY EXTRA FOR THE DRINKS?!?! It cost you 22k to get there and they don’t include some basic drinks?? I mean I get that it probably won’t be freeföowing champagne… but like 90-95% of drinks should be included at that price tag🫣😅

Wait? Dinner can cost extra???🫠😅 it’s just ridiculous

It's the bloody mandatory tips on top of everything else. Nope, call me a stingey old git, but I decide if and how much I'm going to tip.

And no concierge to help out with reservations.

Oh i'm in total agreement, at this price point soft drinks, mid level alcohol and dinners should all be included. But again, that's exactly why I produce such content to shine a light on areas that frankly need some improvement.

@@rachkate76 Yeah, a total rip off. I'd never tip mandatory. Fck off and go by yourself then. I tip for exceptional service, cause I want to reward the waiter/waitress, but never mandatory.

Extra Tipping? What an American Cruise ship it is.

Suites can get to 10,000 per person the cheapest rooms are interior for this ship which cost 2000 per person

The tipping just means, that at this cost the company still doesn't pay their employees a wage one could live of

Jesus was not killed nor Jesus was crucified

"a floating, high-end shopping mall." Exactly. It's everything I hate - on land or on the sea. As an American, I have to say, though, it's like American commercialism gone mad. Awful. It screams, 'money, money, money.' Just... vulgar.

@@FigaroHey Not really. You see, normally, Price tags like these come with exquisit food, service, rooms and of course all inclusive. The fact they allow themselves to charge 20K and then want you to tip ON TOP OF regular tips AND charge you for drinks and food.... just a hard no. That is not American commercialism, it's just stupid. You simply do not get the value you pay for. If that were the case there wouldn't be a problem with this price tag. But you're simply not getting the value.

That’s royal for you

I wonder if they are playing off the rich's egos with that. Can't spend $20k on a cruise then lose face over a $30 sippy cup of alcohol 😬

There are suites that do come with included wifi, and unlimited drink and dining packages,,i dont have the money to stay in a suite and i don know the full details, but this review left out an enormous amount of details...

Food is included but he went to the special restaurant.

so many F U moments to people who are spending big money.

Well, to play devils advocate, once you get on the boat, you don’t “need” to spend another dime. A lot of the things he bought were extra charges that didn’t have to be purchased. As an example, there are free dining establishments on the boat, free drinks, etc, but he just chose not to go to those as often

@@fuksoup Yeah, but then you spend half the day trekking back to the one dining room that isn't extra, the one bar that isn't extra. On other ships with cheaper pricetags you can just pop into a bunch of different restaurants all over the ship.

I felt there's something lacking for the price paid, exclusivity, really upscale experience as well as the look of everything offered. Seems Wil and Millie enjoyed much the experience, maybe the actual feel much differs from what has been recorded.

@@walover165 If we look at this specific ship, his stateroom is unfortunately as far away from anything as it gets, other than the free buffet which is one deck down and about the same location. I can understand if you pay this much money you don’t really want to hike for miles just to get some food, but this is something that many people would’ve taken into account before getting that specific room. That said, for $20K, everything should’ve been included anyway - I know some rooms (even cheaper ones) do include drinks but I don’t think this was one of them.

What gets me is that as a 20k suite customer, he doesn't get priority in booking specialty dining. That suite customer should absolutely get priority on any booking on the ship.

Even the Titanic had included drinks and meals onboard. Except for the Á La Carte Restaurant.

latuaged your is the rememberis come the ocarina.Hotel dont the give money come.just to borrow form to ocarina all.

Well most of the stuff you can reserve on the app before the cruise starts and then you’ll be able to do it all, we were just on harmony of the seas and we reserved all the stuff we wanted to do on the app beforehand and never had a problem of not being able to do what we want

I think that after the 18-24 months that Covid essentially "killed" cruising, the Royal Caribbean line is looking to make up for their losses. But since the hosts spent over $2,500/day per person (which includes all meals) to pay $150 ($75/person) really meant they really spent around $125/person for dinner (when one considers what they paid for their "suite"). Still, I think they were "nickled and dimed" to death, and it sounds like you also felt your cruise was heavily option-priced, and a score of 4 out of 10 means you're not likely to return to RC for another go-round. I also would be very upset if after paying nearly $1,000 per person, that virtually any worthwhile activity was extra money...or that so many venues were sold out. Your kids spent most of their time in their cabins? In that lovely warm Caribbean weather? I'd be very upset and would definitely rate the experience poorly and warn others to be well-prepared for disappointment. Hudsonv24 advised that you should have had the app and then book all the options and activities in advance? I cannot imagine cruising and creating a schedule weeks in advance that you must adhere to minute by minute. By the way: we did a Holland America tour: the ship's tour was FREE, although you don't get to see many of the engineering areas nor the bridge. Trek Trendy spent well over $1,000 per person on options, so in my book, I'd rate RC very low and would cruise elsewhere. I hope that this option-pricing is NOT the wave of the future. Thank you for your feedback...much appreciated.

@@hudsonv24 But you have no freedom them as you have a schedule you need to follow.

@@xScooterAZxyou don’t need to follow that schedule you can cancel which frees up spots for other people

@@hudsonv24 Ahh. Thanks for letting me know. :}

very little of that tip makes it to the employees I'll bet.

Yeah, ridiculous!

don't worry he tipped less than 8%

@@wincrasher2007 gave U an upvote re: tips. Possibly sliding scale decided by the company, and any extra tips distributed the same way. My one cruise (long ago), private $ tip to a crewman had to be turned in to the company.

I hope that the 18% tip was already included in the price, because $10 for a $151 meal is a lousy tip.

Do you have a video of this ship too? For some reason I want to see the cheaper side of this as well. (:

@@miikatenkula6356 I just disembarked yesterday but in a couple of weeks, I will! :)

You should do EmmaCruises/TrekTrendy cross over, where you both take the same cruise.

@@singbike5832 CruisesTrendy

@@singbike5832 That would be amazing!

He spent a lot more than he had to for this video. You can get a balcony room on a 7 day cruise for about $2k, and it’s even cheaper for non-balcony or interior rooms. Once you’re on board, you don’t have to spend another dime if you don’t want to. Most food is free, and you get basic drinks for free. All the entertainment on board is free. Alcohol is always extra cost of course. Cruises are pretty good value for the money in my opinion.

I always think William sounds like a voice-over actor from the 1970s selling brand new cars.

I agree!

Are you really that uninteresting?

The price definitely depends on when you sail. I was able to book the same type of room on Oasis of the Seas for $8,000. The actual first class that they have, which is called star-class, has everything included, all the drinks and all the dining. I guess the fact that it is on the newest ship and the fact that they went during the summer make the price really outrageous and not worth it. It is definitely better to go on older Oasis class ships that are just as good, like Oasis of the Seas for much cheaper. And don't take this as me defending the crazy $20,000 price. And also my $8,000 price is for four people. It's 7 nights, too.

This price is definitely not normal for that room 😂 And don’t worry, there is a life raft/boat seat for every person on the ship 👍🏻

I think you've touched on a real and genuine concern with a ship this big. In an emergency would they be able to disembark 7,000 people quickly ?

@@gilbydog7350 it’s interesting because we are used to airplanes, where flight attendants are trained to evacuate an airplane in 90 seconds. But that’s because the biggest risk is fire and explosions in a small space - and there is almost always a safer environment outside the plane. With cruise ships it’s very very different. Cruise ships are designed to resist catching on fire - and even more so they resist spreading fire. There are fire doors, fire suppression systems, and non-flammable materials. If a room catches on fire it can be completely isolated in minutes. The biggest danger to evacuating passengers is injury caused by panicking passengers. So slower is always better. The kinds of issues cruise ships face tend to allow for slow evacuations to minimize injury and death. I think I read that ships should be ready to have life boats launched within half an hour of everyone reaching their muster stations. That gives disabled and injured people plenty of time to get to the lifeboat safely. A mad rush would just injure more people. Incidentally, that’s why captains on planes avoid emergency evacuations whenever possible (ie if it’s safe to remain on the plane). Because most people injured in an emergency are injured in the evacuation. People can be clumsy or rude or just plain push people out of the way. We are a mess in emergencies.

Does anyone wonder how he affords this content all the time? Truly need an answer

Im with you. This is so underwhelming at that price point!

So true. What a hell, like a prison for gaining weight.

No drink package on Virgin. Have to pay for each separately

Couldn't agree more. Go to any similarly priced activity - Michelin restaurants, first class flights, five star hotels...they offer many benefits beyond the basic expectations of food, airfare, accommodation respectively. A five star hotel will book activities (almost as a travel planner) and first class flights often include ground transportation to/from. This cruise would be very disappointing for me.

Really ! I am glad you enjoyed your experiences! But Have You Tried P&O or Cunard They are so much Better and all inclusive for that Category of Suites 😊

@@Richard.Charles.S Cunard is very boring unless you don’t like to do anything. I did the Queen Elizabeth with my family when we went through the Panama Canal and it was just ok. Cunard is mainly for much older cruisers versus if you are young. Think like people in their 50’s and up. If you love to stay busy with lots of entertainment choices then Cunard is not it. I enjoyed doing the Norwegian Sky cruise which had 100% open bar and went to the Bahamas as well. I also did Carnival which was fun too when I was younger. Cunard was just eh to me. I would love to do Royal Caribbean but this price tag is insane and overpriced with no perks for him being in a suite. He should have gotten many different free perks for that price. It’s a shame how these companies get to rip people off. 😑😑😑😑

Black dress was a winner here.

Lol why? Have you never seen a girl before?

he sailed Cunard with his dad a few months ago

The cabin is expensive because it is big and has a great view, space is at a premium on a ship. People booking these cabins usually have plenty of cash to pay for extra charges as well.

@@rowaystarco Still a fucking $1000 that is such a piss take.

@@teabagtowers3823 what? What are you trying to say here?

@@rowaystarco Even if I was rich $1000 is a piss take.

lol, I'm sure there is no product placement here.

Its way cheaper if you just go in a regular room. It's also WAYYY cheaper to buy your drinks and food (at the specialty restaurants) online preboarding. But you don't HAVE to buy the specialty restaurants. There is so much free food.

Love that you cleared this up for people. I have gone on multiple RC cruises and have never come close to paying near that much!

Most shocking for me is the mandatory tip and even asking out for another handout. Are these organized beggar gangs? What is wrong with you US guys to accept this insanity? I was asked for a tip from an automated gas station pump. This is just insanity!

Millie oh my Millie

The food and wonderland restaurant looked horrible imo. Dingy asf

Lol you're so sad

The replies are so weird tf, let them enjoy her presence 😐

@@heinekenczechbro that’s a little rude let her eat what she wants to eat

Me too ❤

Millie on air me thinks!

Agreed, and this is exactly why I review products like this, to lift the veil on something that will never usually be picked up by the countless press trip videos online

@@Trektrendyat least a concierge service and a welcome gift

Royal is the expensive cruise line. There's lines such as Carnival and Norwegian that are at maximum (Carnival) A quarter of the price...

Millie oh Millie

Thank you so much for watching :)

Why should Patreon pay for this?

I don’t think he speaks norwegian

@@TrionnoStunting I don't speak it either, but amazingly I understand what he/she wrote. Maybe I'm a genius, maybe it's cause it's close to german words ^^. Personally I don't think this is a beautiful cruise. I wont attend if they pay me. Rather'd go for a Hurtigruten with alcohol package.
