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.

I've never thought of looking for the cameras. That might be an idea for a future video. Thanks for watching.

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.

Have Fun! The Elation is a fun ship to be on!

@@HangingOutWithMike thankyou!!❤️

Have Fun! The Fun Squad is one of the best I have seen. I loved the Elation!

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've only found 3 or 4 ducks over all my cruises. I don't think there are a lot of people who hide them.

Thanks! How am I doing? Since you are watching them all, what would you like to see in future cruise videos?

@@HangingOutWithMike You're doing great! I really enjoy the content you put out. Just keep doing what your doing!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

Hahaha, I'll fly if you buy! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I appreciate you watching.

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 😞

I appreciate it! I have another cruise in a few weeks so there will be some new videos in a bout a month.

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.

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?

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.

Thanks! I just try and show the ship layout the best I can. I appreciate you watching!

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

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.

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

Great to hear! Thank you for watching!

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.

Thanks 👍

Hahaha. Have fun! It's a great ship and wish I had a couple more days on it. Thanks for watching!

You are welcome! I appreciate you watching, thank you!

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.

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 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.

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

It is a lot to put in for a 2 night cruise

Enjoyed the videos keep them coming

Thanks! I really appreciate you watching.

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.

Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate you watching!

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.

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!

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

It's coming, I went out of town for a couple days and didn't have time to finish editing. Thank you for watching.

Level 1 cuts it shorter.

As far as I know they do. There is not a dog park so you have to keep them on a leash.
