    Would love to see you guys stay at the Queen Mary in Long Beach and do a vlog on the rooms and experience. I've done the ghost tour on there and had brunch, but would love to see a night there through your lens.

    Great tour around the ship. It's interesting how familiar it looks but different. Loved the look of it. Lots of nice areas and interesting twists on the food places. It was fun to see John Heald and the naming ceremony too.

    Wow, this inaugural seemed low key, where were all your friends, the other content creators? Seemed like you both had the ship to yourselves, but it made for a great introduction to the ship for those of us back home, wishing we were invited 😊. Thank you for sharing. Living on the West Coast, i appreciate a new ship, and this one looks beautiful.

    This is much improved from the short Carnival cruise from Long Beach we took for a 21st birthday. Of course we paid $42 for a last minute decision . Where are you going for 12 days??

      We haven't! We were booked for three nights on a nice promo rate before the "original" Firenze inaugural, but when they moved it we had to cancel it. The promo was over and it was over our budget, so we didn't rebook it!! :P

      You can! There’s a hallway leading straight there that bypasses the casino.

    I’m curious why they didn’t paint the funnel in Carnival colors 🤔

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  Před 26 dny +1

      With Luminosa, they went more “Carnival” style, but with Venezia and Firenze, they embraced the Italian “Costa” history a little more, which is interesting. Plus, it would have “Costa” bit more to redo those funnels!! :P #joooookes

      As normal, the day to day experience of sailing with 5,000+ people, how crowd control works, how the event spaces work, how the food and service go, and all that jazz!! :P

    @timspeedinc Před 26 dny

    No disrespect..but if y’all think you got invited because of your “Carnival Mastercard” you’re high as a kite! You got invited because you’re carnivals “unofficial” brand ambassadors! (Honestly you do a better job than JH, but he can’t say anything BAD if something IS bad because he’s being paid)

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  Před 26 dny

      Nah, they had “media” invites and “travel agent” invites, but we didn’t receive either. We only qualified because we have the Mastercard, have diamond loyalty status, and were booked on the cruise the next day. Some combination of those triggers got us in. That’s what we were told anyway!! :P
