#STOPGGREENSCREENADULTS

Just did my early check in this morning and got 1130! Pumped for this next cruise

👌🏼👌🏼🙂‍↕️

Hi Joe were sailing December 29, 2024 from Bayonne on Odyssey to celebrate 2025 at sea and check it off our bucket list! Thank you for your great video!

I just learned if you book a suite you’ll have priority also

Several comments: 1) After five cruises to the Caribbean, I am getting tired of the same old destinations and the predictable excursions. I also have below zero interest for the "private destinations." A number of the standard destinations are pretty much complete wastes like Bimini. the ABC Islands offer a good contrast to most standard destinations. 2) If you are really serious about seeing the Southern Caribbean, forget the megaships and try one of the yacht style cruises like Windstar Cruises. They do 7 day cruises out of Puerto Rico and Barbados. They have a "no sea day" philosophy where you are hitting a different port every day. Also, since they have ships for 200-400 passengers, they can go into much smaller ports than the large cruise ships. While they are more expensive than the cheapest inside cabins on the large ships, they are actually cheaper than some of the suites on the larger ships and the inside cabins on Icon of the Sea. I thought that flying into a place like San Juan or Barbados would be pricey our of Phoenix, there was little difference than fling into Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Just an idea.

I booked A southern Caribbean cruise to Aruba, Curacao bc its an 8 day cruise and I'm on Oasis. The ship is just as much of an experience for us as the ports. This gives us 4 full days on the ship for sea days which was super important bc there is so much to see and do on the ship. We wanted an immersive activity based ship and we wanted time to enjoy that as well as the ports. This seemed the like the perfect itinerary for us to get a good balance of ship time and port time.

Booked celebrity Edge for Christmas and New Year 2024/

Good question!

Way to go carnival! 🎉🎉🎉

Carnival said wait, your not getting off this party boat, wheels you to the bar lmao😂

Soooo crowded, no way!!

Dossnt look very fun

Still worth it, I think! 🍹

What’s your favorite on-cruise party so far? This one?

So fun!!! 🎉

I swear cruise ship people are like the lowest common denominator of vacationers. Hard pass.

The "Schooner Bar" is pronounced like school...not shoe.

I am breathing deeper already! Thx.

I live in cayman

I like port days. I wish those 8 days would add one more port so there would be 4. I'm thinking about doing a btb 8 and 6 on Oasis. That way lots of ports on the 6 and sea days on the 8.

This is true. Love from the Cayman Islands 🇰🇾

This ship seems dead.

Bummer you didn’t love it.

Im 60 and I haven’t had that many drinks over my entire lifetime 😂

Gorgeous!! 🏝️

Reaaaalllyyyy looking forward to your hits and misses review...every ship and cruise line has them but it sounds like MSC has more than their fair share.

I sooo appreciate that you are trying to be objective...it makes your perspective even more valuable to me. Looking forward to your overall thoughts.

Just booked this cruise for dec 2023. I only cruise with royal caribbean. I am excited to try this line of cruise ship. I normally take a cruise at least once a year.. thanks for your video

Truly. 10 free drinks a day was insane.

Oh so after fast you only owed $31.20

I love the southern Caribbean if there were more options. It seems these ships go to the same ports all the time like it’s a seasonal thing I live in New York, and would like to be able to port out of my own city and go to the southern Caribbean, without having to fly to Florida, or another state or Puerto Rico

Great vlog! We are headed on Seaside in two months, interested in trying MSC's newer ships.

Great footage! Not a single pool or hot tub open after 8pm! Thats crazy!

Maybe cruising by yourself isn’t as fun, too!

Would appreciate video of food, places, experiences versus just your taped thoughts… would be nice to “see” it just just hear about it!

Great Vlog Joe! Easy to follow and make decisions based on your observations.

Gee wizz stop comparing cruise lines, all cruise lines have their own unique style.

Recording at waist lvl around a bunch of half naked people always makes you look like a normal well adjusted trustworthy individual

Roe Jogan??

Super cool vlog...love it!

I was on a Royal Caribbean Cruise. So expensive and so not worth it. Just plan an actual vacation.

Also, do you think so much was happening at the same time because the cruise is only three days long? Maybe they space out the activities on longer cruises?

LOVE the Vlog style!!

Lying agents

How much did the Shore Excursion cost extra?

I don't want to lay next to some disgusting stranger anyway. I can't imagine being stuck on a cruise

The way that you are speaking in your videos, sounds weird. It’s like it’s so structured and scripted that you’re reading from a book. I’ve watched thousands of videos and yours is honestly very annoying.
