Hanging Out With Mike
United States
Registrace 7. 09. 2019
My name is Mike and I retired from Fort Bragg after being stationed there for 20 years. I created this channel to show people who are moving to Fort Liberty and/ or Fayetteville what this place and the surrounding areas have to offer. However, this channel has now turned into a VLOG about my travel and sightseeing as I make my move to Orlando, Florida. I will still have different theme park content because I always love visiting a theme park, and of course I will take you along on my cruises, but now my goal is to introduce the great state of Florida to you and maybe I can show you some great places to visit on vacation. I feel fortunate to live where other people vacation.

Can you feel it? Fall is in the air, lol. Except in Florida because it's always hot. However, I wanted to go see the Halloween Decorations at Magic Kingdom and check out all the new Halloween Merchandise. While there, I decided to ride my favorite ride there, The Haunted Mansion, and then tried out some food by Tiana's Bayou. Thanks for watching! Subscribe here: bit.ly/2TQ1lim Camera Gear Main ...

Information about the Disembarkation process for Margaritaville at Sea Paradise. There is not a lot of information on this cruise and Disembarkation is no different. Even on the ship, information is hard to come by. One thing that is for sure, expect to wait in lines. The valet is nice when you drop your car off, but then when you are leaving, you have to wait for the valet again so I'd try and...

On a quest to watch all of the cruise videos?
I came across this video researching the BARF. Well done, I appreciate the walk through. Yes, the festival will return at approximately the same time. Dressing for the festival creates a more immersive environment for you but I highly doubt you would have anyone wearing garb make fun of you for not. Whatever you're comfortable with. If you wear garb, consider the temperature when choosing. The number one rule of festival for me is to have fun and enjoy yourself.
That's a great rule to have! The festival was a lot of fun and I think dressing up would make it more immersive. However, I've never done anything like that so I wouldn't even know what to go as or even where to begin. Thanks for watching.
Cool call out to the details. I normally try counting all the hidden mickey's and security cameras.
I've never thought of looking for the cameras. That might be an idea for a future video. Thanks for watching.

In my neck of the woods! I live about 15 minutes south of that trail.
I liked that trail. Next time we sail out of Miami, I'm going to make sure to bring a longer lens so I can get some cool bird photos.

I’m getting on the elation In 2 days and I’m gonna be on the waterside no matter what!!! (Unless the ship starts to sink)
Have Fun! The Elation is a fun ship to be on!
@@HangingOutWithMike thankyou!!❤️
I am going this December for my Birthday! Looking forward to the Elation. Thank you for the video. Especially where to park!
Have Fun! The Fun Squad is one of the best I have seen. I loved the Elation!

Hey Mike thanks for video. That ship looks packed! What was your sail date? Will be sailing on IOS September 16th so this was great intro for it.
May 23rd - 27th was the dates for this cruise. The evening stroll through the marketplace and getting pizza after the bar closed where the only times I really noticed the crowds. If you are a drinker, there are bars in great locations and enough that getting a drink was never a very long wait, unlike my last cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras. To me, that cruise was crowded.

I was on that ship and never found a Duck.
I've only found 3 or 4 ducks over all my cruises. I don't think there are a lot of people who hide them.

Which ship is your favorite?
@@HangingOutWithMike Really enjoyed a short trip on the Celebrity Reflection last month. Looking forward to sailing on The Independence next month!
@@DopeadventuresCP Ironically, I'm going on the Celebrity Cruise at the end of the month. I'd be curious to hear your opinion on the Reflection vs the Independence after you go on it.
@@HangingOutWithMike I really enjoyed the Reflection. The food was fantastic and the staff was great. The obstructed view veranda staterooms are a great value. Unfortunately I left my DJI Pocket 2 in my room and Celebrity has not been able to find it 😞
On a quest to watch all of the cruise videos?
I appreciate it! I have another cruise in a few weeks so there will be some new videos in a bout a month.
Very informative, Mike ! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Agreed! Thank you for your honest and comprehensive review. Sounds like you can spend a lot of money trying to save money; can't stand it when that happens.
@@gigi9301 It really caught me off guard. I like to cruise cheap so I was surprised when I got my final bill, all my fault though. Those blender drinks where good.
what a surprise. a woke looking man complaining about RATED R JOKES IN A RATED R MOVIE FEATURING RATED R CHARACTER DEADPOOL. STOP BEING WOKE, THAT IS FLORIDA AND RON DE SANTIS' LAND.
I agree it is not worth the money. Amoung all the issues I had, listening to you I now know I was lied to about valet parking for disabled vets. I asked as I got on the property and I pointed to the area because I did park there years ago on one of my more than 6 (pre-margaritaville ) cruises. They lied. Oh yeah, I'm so freaking done with this line, also, as it is margaritaville I will not set foot on it again. Too many tricks. I was loyal to this lil cruise and always convinced most of my friends and family who came to Florida to visit me to take a quick cruise. But it's changed for the bad. I'll wait for another management change. I've been on many cruises, and I have to say this was the most disappointing annoying cruise I've ever taken. AND YEAH THE FOOD SUCKED TOO. ONLY THE HAMBURGERS WAS WORTH SWALLOWING. Trust me when I tell you every meal was awful. 😢
The first person I asked about the disabled parking also told me that it wasn't available, but then when I was waiting for the valet parking, someone came up behind my vehicle and told me that they did honor the disabled veteran parking. I didn't realize that another line actually ran a cruise out of Port of Palms. Was it the same ship, too?
I'm glad I got to experience this ship through your videos and with your review here. I've cruised a lot and I was very curious about the experience with Margaritaville, especially since my girlfriend loves the brand. Sucks to see there's so much nickel and diming on this ship. You'd think with such a short itinerary there'd be some sort of unlimited drinks package instead of the ones that are a set limit. I look forward to when you eventually go on the Islander! It seems more modern which is always a step in the right direction. The Paradise could use some TLC and some upgrading before I consider going on it.
Thanks for watching! It was definitely an experience and glad I went on it so I no longer have to wonder, but I feel that there are better valued cruises. The Islander looks to be comparable to a Carnival/ Royal Caribbean cruise and I am excited to take advantage of their promotions, plus it is only about an hour from me at Tampa.
I like your straight forward tour style. No fluff or opinion just the ship. Paradise seems like a pretty laid back vibe ship! Like it!!!
Thanks! I just try and show the ship layout the best I can. I appreciate you watching!
Enjoyed this funny by honest r eview 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Thanks for video, my sister in law is going in 2 weeks she is excited!! Did you notice if they still showing GREASE as broadway show. How do you like Royal compared to Carnival...You said your 1st time on Royal?
They are still showing Grease, at least when I went in May. I really liked Royal's ship layout, food, and different entertainment (Ice show, Broadway, dance show, etc), however, I like how the Carnival cruise directors are more involved and Carnival always seems like there is a party going on somewhere. I have a couple more Royal Caribbean cruises coming up so I am excited to go on their Oasis ships.
Awesome!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Worked great to pair with us watching from the top level of the orange garage. Thanks!!!
Great to hear! Thank you for watching!
It's ridiculous everything is a cost
It's possible to enjoy the cruise without paying for anything. My first couple of cruises, I just ate the the free food options and just enjoyed hanging out by the pool and exploring the ship.
Good job bro, good to see you getting out
Thanks 👍
“I hope that lady’s not dead” hahahaha. I mean, there are worse ways to die. We sail on Indy for the first time in December so appreciated your video
Hahaha. Have fun! It's a great ship and wish I had a couple more days on it. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you showing everything !
You are welcome! I appreciate you watching, thank you!
Do you plan on going on the Margaritaville at Sea Islander?
I do. I like the destinations and from my understanding, it is an old Carnival ship that is a sister ship to the Carnival Paradise and Elation so I'm curious how Margaritaville updated it. Plus, Tampa is a lot closer to me than Port of Palms Beach.
Just a suggestion, quit comparing everything to Carnival or any other cruise line for that matter. Maybe a summarization at the end, but there is no need to keep comparing everything throughout the video. This is your review of a Margaritaville cruise not a comparison video. Don't assume that anyone watching has cruised on Carnival before. Let your viewers who have sailed on Carnival make a determination of how it compares to Carnival based on your content. I have cruised on almost every cruise line and I can tell just based on your content the differences between Margaritaville at Sea and other lines, without needing to hear you say it all the time. Just a suggestion, good luck with your future content.
I appreciate the advice. I'm still somewhat new in my youtube adventure so still trying to figure out the best style so I'll take any advice I can get to be better. Thanks for watching.
THE FOOD LOOKS LIKE SHIT. SHOULD BE CALLED CRAPARITAVILLE.
The food is definitely not a selling point. As I said in the video, I love to eat on cruises but this one I felt like I was eating to survive, hahaha.
We live in florida, and boat over to Freeport a couple times a year. Amazing people and island once you get away from the port area and explore the island.
I think every place is better once you get away from the port and see the local areas. But I just wanted to show this port to give people an idea. Do you take the Ferry from Fort Lauderdale?
@@HangingOutWithMikepersonal boat, stay near port Lucaya
@@juiceman4130 That's pretty cool. Is it a long trip?
@@HangingOutWithMike depending on the sea, 3-4 hours
No you know why most people were relaxed smokin that weed😂
It is a lot to put in for a 2 night cruise
Enjoyed the videos keep them coming
Thanks! I really appreciate you watching.
Cruises are different & like you said it's a cruise,we usually never get off the ship at Freeport either
I'm glad I went on it because it always looks so appealing, but this was definitely a one and done for me. But I will try their other ship out of Tampa. It is a lot closer to me and I've been on it's "sister" ships, the Carnival Paradise and Elation, so I'm curious how Margaritaville changed it up.
really appreciate the fast forwarding, great camera, subscribed
Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate you watching!
Good Job man on trying to decrease alcohol. Not easy, especially on a cruise.
Thank you! My aunt gave me the tip of having a ginger ale because I still have something in my hand and nobody knows it's not alcohol.
wait i totally thought this would have more views !! this video is so fun, for sure need a part 2
Part 2 is coming. I left town right after posting this one and just didn't have time to finish editing it. Thank you for watching!
My cabin on that ship was disgusting. Hard pass on that ship
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it didn't sour your opinion of cruising.
@@HangingOutWithMike No we still love going on a cruise, but I don't think we will go on that ship again. RC seems to have been going downhill the last couple of cruises. WE may try another line
Need part 2!
It's coming, I went out of town for a couple days and didn't have time to finish editing. Thank you for watching.
Does 1 cut the more grass?
Level 1 cuts it shorter.
Do they allow dogs there? Thanks!
As far as I know they do. There is not a dog park so you have to keep them on a leash.
