I don't know if Solaro 'The Tequila Bar' on the Boardwalk still does it, but when we went 5 years ago on Oasis, they had an opportunity to make a reservation for lunch.

@brantley847 8 ай бұрын

You dont actually notice it much once you get moving if you are on one of the larger class ships like this. There is so much to do inside and on deck that I rarely find myself looking out over the ocean.. and typically if you watch the travel lanes that these captains use they stay fairly close to land in the event of an emergency. For instance, if you leave out of Port Canaveral or New Jersey, you would ride only a mile off international waters where they could divert back to land or to a coast guard contact within an hour or two. I was anti-cruise as well. Now I am 9 deep. By far the easiest method of vacation assuming you are within a few hours of a port.

In retrospect, would buying the drink package saved you on what you spent, and how much was the bottle of Caymus? Great video!

@EatBailaTravel 10 ай бұрын

No definitely not because the drink package is $100 per day per person (and it gets charged to your room so both adults in that room must pay the package if one of them gets it). We bought 3 bottles of wine that week at about $50 each and $350 on the occasional cocktail (buying for ourselves, for our fam). We should have included this as a tip! But we did not purchase the bottle of Caymus, we brought it on board with us. You’re allowed to bring 1 bottle of wine per adult. Kevin’s dad got the bottle of Caymus though I don’t know how much for. I just did the math and we had 14 bottles of wine between the 5 of us on the cruise (Kevin’s mom doesn’t drink) 🤯🤯😅🍷

Not bad; could have been better simply by taking your time. Many of your camera shots were less than 2 seconds. Your "pan" shots were way too fast. And speeding up the film at anytime is a no-no. Let people enjoy your camera views of the ship features long enough to get some perspective: 10-15 seconds. Glad you had a good time.

It was my first time on a cruise. I didn’t pick the room, Kevin did, so it was a complete surprise to me. All I knew prior to seeing the room was that it was on the inner part of the ship. I’m sure Kevin knew about the balcony, but I didn’t.
