    Hey Kevin, nice to see you back. I actually met you on the Enchanted back in November while we were in the Med. I totally agree with you on the longer cruises...I'm currently on the Island Princess for a 111-day world cruise. I do a similar thing to you...solo cruiser, inside cabin, minimal excursions. Sold my house two years ago, now I cruise nearly full-time. Made elite in 5 months!

    • @30AndAWakeUp
      @30AndAWakeUp  Před 3 měsíci

      that’s awesome…i spent a couple months on Island. i love the covered pool area

  • @neresq
    @neresq Před 3 měsíci +5

    So happy you're back in action on YT and on the high seas. Agree with you about inside cabins. Paying less has allowed us to cruise more, and got us to Elite on Princess pretty quickly a decade ago. Looking forward to seeing your vlogs of your journey. In about a month from now, we'll be heading out ourselves on a 32 nt. Princess adventure (single itinerary) - to some exotic, and mostly new to us, places. Have fun!

    • @30AndAWakeUp
      @30AndAWakeUp  Před 3 měsíci +1

      @neresq Před 3 měsíci +2

      @@30AndAWakeUp One of our faves: Sapphire Princess. Did 17 nts. through Southeast Asia on her back in 2016. Really nice, pretty ship. Love the covered and quiet mid-aft pool, the 5 MDR's, the wide full circuit Promenade deck, and the unique, large, comfy, and actually useable Internet Cafe.

    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a wee bit jealous, Lol! Sounds like an EPIC itinerary for a cruise, although as much as I'm down with "at sea" days, I would want to stay in/ around Hawaii for a longer stretch -- just because I've never been and I'm sure I would want to explore for at least 30 or 45 days.
    If you let me know when you're in Vancouver, I'm more than happy to show you around -- I'm a short hop from the cruise terminal via the Seabus from North Van.
    My epic multi-year road trip is probably delayed while both Ecuador and Columbia are currently looking like small scale disasters --- in the meantime I'm thinking of Thailand for a while ( 90 or 180 days).
    Oh, I noticed we're sporting matching facial hair, lol! Enjoy the high life on Princess my friend!

    It's good, if you're going to be on a ship that long, you pick the right brand. I went only on one Princess cruise, and found the food better, than say, Norwegian. Hopefully when you get off the ship, you can enjoy some local foods too. Interesting that it moves around. I would have though the ship would have stayed in the same route for multiple passes.
