of course

I don’t know when it will happen but I’m going to one day

I wanna go on one, one day. Or so I think atm, but I need to know much more before dumping $28,000 and half a year into that project.

Yes

I'm not interested. I do my trips from the chair in front of computer.

Yes... some jobs will have restricted presence on deck, however... Gives you that lovely submarine feeling.

Being on an aircraft carrier "touring" the world on deployments with the U.S. Navy is much different than being a passenger on a cruise ship. One is shitty work and living conditions with long hours, the other is a vacation.

oh no,,hahaha

You have to love the “Grey Funnel” Line.

Very true. 1952, USS Fechteler, San Diego to Newport Ri. Many port calls, usually for a few days. Really great. Of course we also had to patrol off N. Korea and piss China off by violating what they called their contiguous zone. After each such intrusion China would lodge their 7,415 (or so) grave complaint. That was 52. I don't think we would do that now.

Drinks too?

Regents is a great Cruise line

Really? How long ago? I didn't know that there are cruises to Alaska coming out of the east coast here ... all those I know are departing from the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Vancouver B.C., etc.).

Cunard is for wealthy folk like me not for oinks who lack intellect.

Even more important, if you are a Cunard fan don't sail on Carnival.

Also, if it gets really bad, you can simulate a call by sending each other Whatsapp voice messages in quick succession. Source: Lived in Cameroon for 3 years while the government still had an enforced monopoly on internet.

Great to hear it helped! Have a great cruise !!

Thanks!! That sounds like an awesome trip. Envious here 😀

How was your cruise? Can you please provide details.

Thanks! Yes really key. On the first one we did we were on QM2 and as so big was a pain in a number of ports !

That was a conclusion I came to after a 75 day cruise around the Pacific. A few ports we were stuck quite away from the main cities as the ship was too big to get in. Can make shuttle cost a bit pricey! Also there are more coaches to cater for the numbers on the tours.

Yes. Which is very complicated time consuming and expensive. Also there is a sweet order. Applying for china then india is not the same as india then china.

So true, my mum was stressing out about that.

Glad it was helpful! As even if made you decide it is not for you, better to find out first ....

Awesome !!! Great to hear. Hope you keep watching and find them helpful. If you have any topics you don’t find videos for let me know as always keen to hear what people looking for or need !

Petr Frizen I feel the same way. I choose a cruise holiday for the experience of being on a ship and at sea. I don't care what the itinerary is, and I rarely even bother leaving the ship at ports. I do enjoy visiting new places and cultures but I'd much rather take a "normal" holiday and explore the place in my own time, and not be restricted to the ship's schedule.

It is both but the ship is very key as you spend more time in there than in the ports by far. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Always much appreciated!’

Highly reasonable! Very intriguing KZfaq name you have…

And your oeuvre is being very much appreciated too, Gary!

It is an amazing experience!

Thanks. Great to hear you find them helpful. Really appreciate you watching. Keep watching 😀

They are mostly stock video images, not something he took himself. If you watch more of his videos you'll see them over and over and over and over.

If one doesn't have enough clothing to get through a 3 week or 3 month cruise without doing laundry, or cannot afford a $50 a week laundry bill, perhaps taking a long cruise more than 6-10 days is NOT for you. Some people on these cruises spend $50 a night on a bottle of wine.

A W 2 right. I forgot to think rich. The longest we’ve gone was 21 days. I didn’t want to bring 3 weeks of clothes.

A W 2 some of us don’t want to own a lot of clothes. It isn’t about not being able to afford the clothes or the laundry, its reasonable to want to save money when possible.

Never say never 😀 Great to hear you found it interesting nevertheless!

How was the World Cruise? Thinking about doing one on Princess.

Thanks! Appreciate you watching as always.

Then why bother going?

@@cruisecrazy7066 great im not going now i was gonna do that

Why???

Pleasure. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!

Great to hear ! Thanks !!!

Thanks ! Great to hear 😀😀

Great to hear. Please watch more and subscribe :-)

You would love then one of the World Cruises on Cunard as there are a lot of seadays to get around the world. Many stretches of 5 and 6 days at a time

Great to hear !! Thanks for watching

Not true on prices. Cunard was $28,000 quote for the GF and I for a 132 day world cruise in the inner cabins (dont care for views in room as you can go on deck) and just $12,000 on another line (but that might have been per person) for 119 days. If you rent, then yes, that money is lost on rent if cannot sub-lent, but if you buy, professionals can rent it out for you or you can AirBnb it longterm. Work, yes, you lose that, but in the western world outside the US, you can use a maternity leave for the women and vacation and paternity leave time combined for the man. Or you can work halftime remote as an IT professional if the company will let you. Total loss of money can be as low as $35,000 if even that.

Nice countdown! As you say looks like some planning on the insulin which many people must have done. Hopefully someone who has will see this and post what they did

Repetitive insulin injections or pills are available with prior arrangement with your physician's cooperation. There are doctors and nurses on-board for all these trips who will gladly dispense 10-15 day supplies. OR, you arrive at a clinic one or two times a day to get or your medications, lots of ways to arrange this for passengers and crew..speaking as a former nurse practitioner on a worldwide cruise ship for 3.5 yrs; we dealt with Americans and others who needed daily insulin, self-injected or otherwise. There is a cost, usually for all passengers who need this service, paid-or estimated up-front before the voyage starts for people without national medical insurance who still had to pay a daily or weekly service fee. Ships are well-equipped with several insulin treatments 24/7. Some people on-board are actually diagnosed for the first time with Diabetes type 2 while on-board, consults with land physicians happen, treatment courses are scheduled while the passenger is on-board. Watch diet, do exercise, reduce weight a year before, some passengers with type-2 can actually be non-insulin dependent if type-2.......consult your physician to make sure all arrangements can be made for your condition....most cruise lines know that most diabetics who come on-board are overweight, just telling you, but we can deal with most diabetic conditions on-board, no matter what. Remember, most of the service on these ships involves a high level of sugar, fats, and alcohol for most passengers so you will have to self-monitor, or just sample some of the fare, not have entire meals with our special offerings. A person with the diabetes disability can enjoy our trips, but there are cautions and pre-boarding preparations one needs to consider before embarking on any of our trips. I wish you a happy and healthy trip, wherever you want to travel.

It is a challenge....!!

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear !! Thanks 😀

Great to hear 😬 thanks

I go for the ports - the ships only get me there.

Thanks for watching and adding your perspective. Cruising is not for everyone and good to hear the thoughts of who not for!

Thank goodness you wont be on any cruise I'm on. I wonder why you took the time to post?

And whatever vacation you want to go on I would recommend researching it first. There are cruises that spend more than 6 hours. If you aren't really happy with it I wouldn't spend the money. When we cruise we experience the ports and see what we liked or dislike. We have flown back to a specific port just to spend some time in that country. View it as a sample plate. But once again, whatever way you want to travel you should research it first.

So you enjoyed the first cruise enough to book again? I totally get that it's not for everyone, but I LOVE it.

A good goal to have 😀

Thanks. Great point!!

Yes seriously

Dumbest comment ever. The point of this video it to focus ON THE CRUISE not to remind people of their home or pet ownership responsibilities. If he has to remind you to get someone to feed Fido then you clearly shouldn't be cruising. Should he also remind people to turn off the iron, pay their car insurance, hold the mail, have the lawn mowed, etc etc etc. Where does it end?

^^dumbest comment ever

Check out that lines website, Like Royal Caribbean or Viking they have a lot of information.

Definitely look at the line and sort of atmosphere they provide
