I never thought of ordering the cheese plate with the bread. Great idea! Thank you.
For the most part, veteran cruisers have realized that the glory days of fine dining and impeccable services have weighed the anchor and sailed beyond the horizon into the sunset. The present offerings are not worth the prices especially when the cost of getting to the cruise and back home is included.
I did not know you could pre-order drinks to be delivered to your cabin! Thanks for that tip and all the others! Enjoy your channel!
Carnival Cheers plan tip, order bottled water from the bar and keep them for later in your room.
Another fantastic video with useful information. Thanks Alisa! Much love from NC :)
Learned alot! Thank you!
Thanks for these tips! First time cruiser n June and I’m taking so many notes from your videos!
You present this material in such a good, easy-to-understand, way. 👍
Great information 👍
Great video ❤❤❤❤
Your videos are so helpful. Because of health issues I not only avoid eating a lot of sugar and other carbs, I try not to overeat on anything. Other family members have other restrictions. We have never been on a cruise that did not have food we enjoyed. We frequently order something off the kids menu or make a meal of just appetizers. None of us has ever left the table hungry.
RCCL has a place with a really good gluten-free pizza made to order. When we hit food overload we order fruit and cheese from room service or pick some up at the buffet, maybe with some cold meats, get made to order pizzas, and enjoy a light supper on deck or on our balcony.
So far Disney and Royal are tied for best food since each has areas in which they excel. Doing our first Princess cruise in April.
Darlene and I each order lobster and split a prim rib on formal night.
We sailed on the Celebrity Millennium and the Tuscan Grill was amazing
If you want to try something (or multiple things) that is normally served as an entree, ask for it as an appetizer.
Super video 😉👍❤
I think you mentioned on a previous video to look for a "specialty" restaurant on embarkation day for lunch and it definitely paid off. We went on a cruise 2 weeks ago and had a quiet, laid-back 1st meal of our cruise. Thanks for the great suggestion.
Guy's Burgers is addictive! Cruise was a month ago and still craving! 😋
I've learned to bring back cookies for a snack at the end of the night. Or maybe banana bread, etc. Something that is easy to carry and keep fresh.
I take fruit from the buffet with Ziploc bags and put it in my fridge. I bring Ziploc bags with me.
Thanks for these tips -- they are so helpful! I have seriously never thought to pre-order breakfast room service before an excursion...Now my mind is totally blown and I will definitely do this on my next cruise on Oasis of the Seas in July ! :D
Glad to help! This is really nice for a non-rushed morning!
I didn't know that about the steak house on the first day..what cruise ship or cruise company did that for you I wonder. I'm hoping it's one of the ones I'm going on soon. Lol NCL? Royal Caribbean?? 😅 Good tips,.especially tea time..I didn't know that I've never sailed yet before and being Russian/ Ukrainian we live for our teas rain or shine haha 😊
We just got off Celebrity Apex in Aqua-Class and they would not allow us to order more than 1 entree. Super disappointing how they are increasing prices while cutting back on food and beverages.
They do that in specialty restaurants too. You can order as many apps and sides though. I think that's fair.
nice

Hey EECC Travel, QUESTION.... Does Princess Cruise Line have a Seaday Brunch??
Are most of these extra food places included in the price? Or is that usually something u have to negotiate? I seen a video u did saying I like to have all ur cost known ahead of time
Do you know anything about vegan/plant based menus? What about gluten free options?
Didn't know you could get free lunch at the specialty restaurant. Thank you.
Not in every specialty restaurant, but it is nice when you find it!
If you have a food allergy, let your cruise line know before you go, and they will make a special menu for you to order off. And a lot of the time, they will give you the menu one day in advance.
The food never looks good on these cruises unless you eat anything. I like fine dining and don’t see too many options.
Alissa, my husband and I are taking our first cruise on RC in December and we both use a CPAP machine. I plan to buy a case of water to drink, but do you happen to know if the cruise line will provide any bottled water for CPAP machines?
They will; just notify guest relations. They'll also provide an extension cord if you need one, which you probably will. Both my wife and I use CPAP machines, and they won't allow you to bring on your own distilled water.
@@howardosden3112 Thank you so much!!
Yes, just contact guest relations or the guess access department for RCCL ahead of time.
RCL was very disappointing on my last cruise in Feb! We were not allowed to order more than 1 item in dining room! If you wanted something else, you had to finish the first dish! Very childish in my opinion!! Also no more cheese plates on new menus!
Have y’all ever been on MSC? They seem so different compared with the other ships with how they do food and drinks. We are sailing this weekend for the first time with MSC Seascape. Fellow TA so I gotta do personal research.
I actually like MSC's food waaaayyyy better than carnival. 😏😏
We have not yet, but it is on our list!
Alissa, the link provided for 101 cruise tips sends me to CZcams videos. Please advise.
Sorry, I was having issues with the link but it is fixed now: bit.ly/3JfY0Rd
Can you flavored coffee creamer on NCL with you, I sail on the Escape in December and I like flavored creamer. Also can you order coffee to your room
I believe the cabin has a coffee maker. Anyway, the balcony cabins do. I’d just contact the cruise line and see if you can bring your own. I’d do the individual little coffee mate or delight creamers since those don’t have to have refrigeration. The larger bottles of coffee mate need to be refrigerated. Then there’s the powdered stuff, yuck.
I recently took the individual flavored coffee creamers on a Princess cruise. No issues because they don't need to be refrigerated.
I know you’ve been on many different cruise lines-do all the main ones (Royal, NCL, Princess-I know Carnival does)-let you carry on a 12 pack of sodas and a bottle of wine per person?
MSC does not
Yes, all that we have been on allow it. You will be charged a corkage fee of $15 on NCL but if you opt in for the drink package with the Free at Sea you won't need it.
Thank you for posting this video. I will be taking my first cruise in Sept. I asked about ordering a second dish in specialty restaurants and people were just so unkind. One woman even posted a pic of a pig. I can't believe how rude, Ill mannered and cruel these cruise pages are. It has really turned me off from cruising.
Do you both miss the Gemini? We thought about the van the more we look at the Gemini I like it for us we also have a dog and we need little more room. Sorry just had to ask because I was watching your trip to Alabama.
We absolutely LOVE our van! The Gemini was great but the van fits our needs better. We just had Ethan's pitbull share the van with us for several nights and we didn't feel cramped.
Are you guys from ky
Nope. Louisiana.
too many not great ideas. Have taste for all food moments.
