@@tommita6440 it truly is! The main reason we sail on edge class ships really 😂😂

@@theapprentice2298 thank you!! A great dining experience indeed.

@@user-ro8dw8ms9n oh amazing we wanted to do the fjords but none fit our timings! So beautiful, if you get the chance to kayak any fjords I’d recommend it - there’s often places you can hire kayaks there and then instead of an excursion. We did it in Geirangerfjord and it was beautiful. That’ll be an amazing cruise in the Apex - enjoy!!

@@user-ro8dw8ms9n and thank you very much! ☺️

@@loumello8813 Thanks for checking out our channel and welcome! We did the beyond in August 2022 and had a similar experience with few passengers… gone are the days of reduced capacity! Scoops is the main thing I miss the most on other lines. And hopefully, that’s the goal - it’s hard to sit at my 9-5 desk job watching them travel for a living! Usually it’s the children doing the crazy travelling 😂 They are a true inspiration to me.

@@BethandDavidCruise While I am retired and can travel, my wife is still working so we are only able to do one good cruise a year with her vacation time. This September we are doing Oceania Vista from Athens to Lisbon, 20 days and only one sea day. Looking forward to all the specialty dining on board and have already booked 8 nights of specialty dining. Rich and Helen are very entertaining and I have followed them since shortly after they started the channel. They do the cruises that we like and will do going forward.

@@loumello8813 oh wow that sounds like a trip worth the wait! We haven’t tried Oceania yet but is a line I keep going back to look at. They’ve worked so hard on their channel it’s great to meet some loyal subscribers who enjoy their content.

@@DuncanHodges-ly3qy thank you! We love them both, we’re currently on Azamara and it’s just a bit more classic and refined (being smaller) and relaxed, which we enjoy. Celebrity is fun and exciting, always something to be amazed by, so it depends on the vacation style you’re going for. Azamara includes basic alcohol in the fare so is a great deal we think, whereas celebrity you’ll pay half your original fare for the drinks package alone. I think it depends which sailing you go on and what deal you get for which is more expensive. I’ll be uploading a day in the life on Azamara vlog very soon (filmed yesterday) so you can see the perks included in the fare if you’re not aware already. Azamara is our favourite overall, but we’re a bit boring so depends on your ideal style of cruise! David also works for Panache Cruises who specialise in premium/luxury cruising so I’m sure he can get you a good deal on Azamara (or suites/aqua class on celebrity) if you’re interested, just let me know and I’ll give you his email! (Although we’re currently on vacation!)

@@theapprentice2298 hahah he loved it and says it was on par with the rest of the food on celebrity, very good. We’d go every night and get some before we went to bed.. dangerous! Back on Azamara soon, we’ll miss the Celebrity pizza that’s for sure.

@@BethandDavidCruise We have just returned from a cruise on Queen Mary 2 . We did the late night snacking for two nights as the spare ribs were calling to me . However we realised it wasn't a good idea eating so late. So we banned ourselves :)

@@theapprentice2298 hahah we pretty much realised the same thing after a while.. you don’t end up feeling good and awfully full the next day. Just so hard to resist! Almost looking forward to Azamara since they don’t really do food after dinner so we’re forced to behave 😂 love the QM2! Been so long since I’ve sailed on Cunard, must go again soon!

@@BethandDavidCruise Sailing on Azamara Journey August 20: Greek islands and Turkey. Looking forward to having that small ship feeling -white night and busy doing nothing :)

@@theapprentice2298 ah our sailing is on journey next week! Hoping to do some vlogs, especially one for one night. Can’t wait!
