I did a Upgrade bid on a Celebrity Tour. They make it clear : if you win that Bid..you will have the Room, but NOT all the benefits that comes with it, when booking with the originally price! So.. no sanctuary a.s o. ! Feels like a Landlord, with no land..

Not a huge fan of changing the rules or options after booking. I understand being able to upgrade at times but not happy when they make confusing changes after the fact

I'm actually booked for the Sun Princess in a Cabana Mini Suite late next year. I'll be curious on if they will open the outdoor Cabana deck to all Cabana suite rooms. I've seen some videos of guests not staying in those deck 9 Cabana suites still having access to the deck.

I've seen a lot of videos about this and everyone says they got refunded on the ship . The new premiere does not start until after your cruise

Im pretty sure you get the sanctuary benefits! It comes with the suite. I think. You are rightfully confused. You should ask Allison of Let’s Go Travel Tips. She knows this stuff. You will get a refund on the specialty dinners.

Yes , I’d be confused as well and I have done many Princess cruises . I have a great TA who irons out any issues or questions for me . Sounds like a great cruise and looking forward to your review .

You need to lower your expectations. Enjoy the wonderful life you are living. Be thankful

This is funny! I have one cruise line that we use, because it's simple. I've thought about trying other lines but after watching this, I am glad that we have stuck with this one cruise line. It's more expensive, but we like it, it's not for all but every time I try to go to other cruise line websites I get confused and then just leave the website....

I’d like cruise ship buffets to move towards what upscale Las Vegas style buffets do where many of the items are served on individual small plates. Less food waste and more hygienic. I’d also enjoy more live cooking stations where the food is freshly made for you on request.

Celebrity speciality dining costs have spiraled out of control& I would never say that any of the speciality dining would rate a 10. Have tried them all on apex & beyond

I agree with Gina. I use the spandex covers and throw them in the laundry. I also use luggage straps. I’ve taken 5 international trips using cheap luggage and so far so good

You need chapters in your videos. Otherwise nice.

My wife and I just got back from the Toronto to Duluth Viking Great Lakes Octantis cruise. Your video captures in detail our experiences. We did have an upgrade to our state room on deck four. The bathroom and room were larger than the one you showed. Storage was not a problem And they did not have the L-shaped closet you mentioned. We were in cabin 4023. I don’t know what the difference in the upgrade is to that type of cabin, but it was well worth it. We have booked our Antarctica trip in the same state room. We have sailed on Viking river ocean and now expedition ships and I’ve never been disappointed.

Have you considered investing $25 into a waterproof zippered cover or even a less expensive spandex type cover.?

Does Mars feature Starlink internet? If so, what is the daily rate?

Took your advice and used GenVisa for my passport renewal. Got the job done in 9 days! Outstanding experience.

You can buy a cheap (~$10) cable adapter that gives you a USB-C receptacle so you can connect any USB-PD power supply that can provide 20 V at 2 A. I've been using one with my ember mug for the past couple of months and it works great!

I see you rated this around a 49/75, with only one being higher in your experience. Do you mind mentioning what company or cruise that was?

The older I get the less crowds I want. I sailed on the Silver Nova recently with only 700 passengers and I loved it more than any other cruise

We love mega ship. on small ship, we get bored in after about 3 days because not much new place to explore. Mega ship like the Icon OTS does not feel crowded even at full capacity.

I really enjoy your evaluations of all your cruises. My wife and I will be going on the Sun Princess repositioning cruise 9/23. Hope to meet you guys and talk cruising.

Love love love a daytime nap… makes the late afternoon, evening much more enjoyable!

We were on the Scarlett Lady in March. We loved almost everything . I watched your review just to enjoy it all again

Used to like Kids I use to go to school with them.

Does Virgin go to Alaska?

My husband & I are finally able to go on a cruise & Silversea is the only line I want to go on. Should we book directly or use a travel agent? If a travel agent, can you recommend? We have never even been on a honeymoon. This is a big deal for us. Thank you for what you’re doing! Also, is door to door worth it? Also, seems like we will be going on Silver Moon bc we are in PA and our nearest port is NYC. We can also do Ft Lauderdale- but I think they’re both the same ship. I wish they had a round trip from NYC back to NYC. That would save us money on airfare & 2 days off dog boarding, not to mention time. Enjoy & safe travels! PS: your wife is just beautiful! God bless!

My wife and I just did a B2B on the Ray from Venice to Athens and back. Actually had a Sunset Suite right down the hall from you on deck 6! Agree with much of what you said regarding the menu’s however, we found the food overall to be quite good everywhere we ate. The ship is gorgeous and personally, we loved the design. What stood out above all else was the crew! In a word, uncompromising! Our butler and room steward were spectacular! The entertainers, all outstanding! The shore excursion, reception teams, and service staff at Art’s Cafe, all remarkable!! Our only complaint, too hot in July!!😂

Thank for a great video and excellent review of the Level 8 luggage! I have purchased the 26 inch yellow and black for the reasons you specified. I was about to start packing and decided to check KZfaq for reviews that might provide some pro tips for packing this luggage and found your awesome vlog! I laughed when you mentioned the packing weight because I was anticipating that problem. The luggage seems like it is so easy to pack, one can easily forget that weight will be a factor when flying. Thank you again for a very well done and informative vlog on these Level 8 products! Safe travels! 😎😎😎😎

Thank you for your review it was very informative.

La Terrazza on the Dawn a few months ago, menu had been changed too. A lot less to choose from. Menu did change every 3 days, and we enjoyed one of the menu’s, but not the other. Everything changes, but have always had a fantastic time on the SS ships!! We are traveling on the Ray in 10 weeks for 35 days. Looking forward to our sailing.

I do enjoy your review. Thank you. We are doing our 2nd celebrity cruise. Two in one year! Both on the Beyond.👏

Im always a little skeptical when you’re invited on for a free ride. But I trust you’re giving us the straight scoop. At least you told us.

Nice video. What lenses would you recommend to bring on a Norwegian fjords cruise? I'm using the Sony a6400.

Happy anniversary to both of you....

Happy Anniversary

I just finished an 11 day cruise on the Silver Ray and agree with all of your opinions - restaurants, entertainment, demographics, cruise director, comfort of stateroom, decor, crew and bar. Overall an elevated experience with much to enjoy!

Happy Anniversary… digging that shirt man !!

Happy Anniversary!

Have you and Rickee sailed on Silversea Silver Whisper? If so, what do you think of it? My parents are slated to sail on Silver Whisper next year in Greece.

Great review, thanks 😊

The food offerings look spectacular! The gyro station would be an absolute must! Wonderful presentation! Very neat!😊

Just found your channel, I'm a solo traveler, but in your demographic (65 y/o). Right now, I'm choosing my next line as I'm branching out from my usuals. Without first doing an in-depth search of your videos, etc., you said in the beginning you've done all those cruises, including river cruises -- the greatest, life-changing (in terms of fulfillment and bucket lists) "river cruise" was on my 60th birthday on a dahabiya down the Nile. Different from "enclosed river cruising", diving off the railing into the Nile along with the crew is like nothing you've ever experienced emotionally. So I'm curious -- have you sailed on a dahabiya? (if not, I'll give you the name and details but KNOW that you must must must do it!!) Okay, off to watch your videos 🙂

It's my experience there’s hardly any kids on a transatlantic cruise so you probably won't get a good feel if Princess is going in the family friendly direction. Would like to hear your impression of the new Sanctuary class if you decide to upgrade to a full suite. Have a great time!

Last summer my buddy and I stayed in downtown Vegas for his birthday. We were on the 22nd floor of our hotel, however we could hear the music from Fremont street all night. Well until 4am. And I don’t mean just a slight background noise, we could sing along with Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys all night like there was a stereo in our room. It didn’t bug me a bit. Slept like a baby. I can appreciate that some people don’t like noise. But going over every tiny thing in the room on its decibel level is overkill, especially on a 45 minute video. TBH, how loud the drawers close is irrelevant when you’re on a cruise through Alaska. If you’re even thinking about it, you’re doing something wrong.

There’s always one guy…….

Nice summary of the dining on Beyond. There is also free coffee at Spa Cafe.

Wow, long and boring review, too much talking could be reviewed in 5 min. BTW who opens closet shelf doors in the middle of the night??? I liked the mini suite but you are nit picking!

What a great review! My husband and I will be sailing on Beyond in a few months while we celebrate our wedding anniversary. You answered so many of our questions, and after watching, we’re more confident that we made a great choice. Thank you for the details!

Really useful vlog, very informative - we’ll be on the Resilient Lady next month out of Southampton England - let’s hope we have a better experience in the Wake. Thank you.

I prefer to be served at the buffet. No free access in touching all the things.
