Nassau Bahamas (DOWNTOWN) tried to sale me a HAT for $50.00. I declined. He pushed it down to $40.00. I nicely said NAH I'M GOOD. He then said $20.00. I said LET ME LOOK AROUND SOME MORE. After that he said Give Me Whatever You Got. Nassau is very pushy in trying to sale you goods. At the front, a Taxi or Go Cart is $50 - $80. Further in I found out that you can get the same thing for around $10 - $20. Just be careful, & here's the Heads Up!!!
@bethanyh1537 t was changed since they restarted back up. I went last October and as soon as we got in board they directed us to our muster station. It took maybe 10 minutes and when we came out our rooms were ready. We got upstairs and watched the safety video on it tv while we unpacked. Quick and easy!
The cost is so true! The wife and I are taking our first cruise in February and first cost was 1k for both of us after taxes and such. Our extra packages and excursions, hotels (driving down the day before and leaving the day after) and insurance, we've spent about 3k for a total of 8 days away from home... still cheaper than flying to a resort though!
Given the most recent behavior on Carnival ships. I think it would be a great idea if you guys made a Travel Etiquette and Behavior tips video. We recently went on a cruise and the people in the comedy club were so obnoxious were the comedian had to call them out on it.
Thank you for all the information. I cannot tell people enough that the "real" cost of ANY vacation is all the costs incurred from the beginning. This is my first cruise and the travel agent put me in and aft cabin. I'm not prone to motion sickness but I have meds just in case something happens. AGAIN....thanks for the info.
What a blessing to come across your content, your energy, husband and wife is phenomenal and you guys are answering questions as they are popping up in my head you guys freaking nailed it
You both are amazing, my wife and I are finally boarding the Sunrise cruise 11/10/22, and we are very much prepared because of your awesome content. Keep up the Awesomeness 👌🏾
Thanks for educating me. You guys are the absolute best!! We are going on our very first cruise in February. We are driving down to Port Canaveral from the ATL. We will be on the Carnival Liberty for a short cruise just to see what it's like. If we like it, we will do one of the larger ships for a week late 2023 or early 2024.
Watching your videos for a refresher I haven’t been on a cruise since 15 years😂. You two are s cute and funny. I feel like I am listening to stories from friends!
Many people buy their trips a year in advance. They also get the jet skis and other excursions in advance too. When we arrived at our destination everything was sold out 😮😮. Buy early 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😃
I’m so happy I found you two. We have never cruises with carnival. Our first cruise with carnival will be in June 2023 out of NY. We always cruise with royal and Norwegian. I’m learning so much from you two. I love that your true. The good the bad and the ugly. Some of these other cruiser content creators seem a little biased about carnival and try and polish up carnival. You are right with the welcome drink. the welcome drink is the biggest scam. People get sucked in, while we walk right by. You also spot on with the excursions. It’s been a tradition to get a spot on the rail and watch the pier runners. You got guts. We got 20 years of cruising and I’ll be damn if we book with a third party excursion.
Just got off my first cruise on the Valor, going on the Glory next Halloween. I admit i was overwhelmed. I did not see one comedy show, celebrated my birthday too hard and got enough sun that we went to bed early a couple of nights
Wooooow! Taking a picture of the ID is very smart. Never thought of that. Glad they let me back on the ship in cozumel because I lost my ID and sign and sail card. So glad we weren't in the Bahamas.
Oh my gosh, you guys are awesome! I've always wanted to take a cruise but have been afraid. I'm going to watch all your videos and I think I could take a cruise feeling safe. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
I love us! This has been the most informative and entertaining dos and don'ts I've ever seen. So real! This is perfect for the new cruisers. Thank for taking the time to share this.
You know wht my very first cruise I picked a front balcony upper deck room and was fine, I did however use those seas sick things tht go behind the ear and I was really good thru the whole cruise🤗
I am going on my first cruise in May for my wife and I 20th Aniversery. The way I personally look at the gratuity is that is to pay for the staff that assists me during the cruise, now if they do an outstanding job or go above and beyond there job for my wife and I then that is when you tip them.
I took your advise and join Facebook group of my cruise dates and I can say BORING people are so dry and not active at all. so I will be looking and see if anymore groups on Facebook. People please join before booking to get a feel of some of the guest vibe and where most people are from. Thanks so much guys I will continue to support you........ I will be looking for your end of 2023 cruises ill be booking with you guys.......
I booked a Halloween five day cruise with carnival and I have to tell you. I did everything that I could prior to booking. I have watched your videos and other videos on CZcams as well. I had a not so good cruise from the first day. At first I thought it was me because it was my first cruise but after meeting well seasoned cruisers by the second night they too were upset. Theses people cruised out of Charleston on sunshine many times (4 or more) they said they didn’t understand what the hell was wrong this time because it is not that way. The food was basically the same on the buffet every day. Not good, not bad. I didn’t eat much at all. I lost four and a half lbs. The snorkeling and sail they made everyone ware a life jacket. Then the crew feed the fish so the fish would come to the top so we could see said fish! What the hell did I need fins for? The 555 steakhouse was a joke. I was given a complimentary complimentary slider that was the size of a nickel. Bun and all .😂 I could place it on my thumb nail literally. I guess because they called me Madam I was supposed to be impressed. Not. This was so bad on so many levels. It reminded me of your story of your first cruise. I can see if I didn’t pay for everything in advance and if I didn’t research anything. This makes no sense to me. I only gave you some highlights.
Please don’t get nervous. It may have been because of staff shortage and not being able to get supplies in. I am sure by May they will have all the corrections made by then. I just have that schlprock kind of luck . Please enjoy your cruise. For me my next cruise will be Royal Caribbean.who knows maybe it will be the same. I hope not but you never know.
Hi! We live in West Point va. First time cruisers were leaving from Norfolk in May. First time cruisers to Bahamas. Thank you for sharing your feedback it’s very helpful ❤️
I am going on my first cruise this year (actually two of them) and I am so glad I came across this channel. This is great. I'm watching all of them. And I'm sitting here taking notes in my phone. Lol! I will be ready ready!
I just was listening and thought man, yall know so much, too bad you're not a travel agent then boom... you said you were an agent. Look at God. I definitely will be reaching out.
Thanks for everything I have a couple of questions 1.) Are you allowed to bring a professional camera on board? 2.) When sharing a cabin with a roommate can you all pay separately or does it have to be together? Trying to see if I used my card will I have to pay their gratuities and mine.
I can't decide what to wear to elegant night. My brain said I'll be OK in my Sunday dress but my want side wants a new dress. But everything I see online looks like a wedding guest attire lol
I love y’all’s channel. You have such a great vibe with each other and have really helped me plan for my first cruise!! Thank you!! Liked and subscribed. ❤
We are going on our first cruise to Nassau in January. What is there to do in Nassau? We were looking at carnival's excursions but we were unsure of what to book cause most of them didn't really interest us. Which ones would you recommend? I know you guys said it's safer to book your excursion with carnival but what else can we do in Nassau without booking an excursion?Thanks for your help.
Do you have any suggestions on how to search/get a specific room? I love the porthole rooms, but when I have selected specific cruises and go to the rooms sometimes they don't come up. Only interior, windows, balaconys, and the spa rooms come up
I’ve been binge watching your videos and I love them!! You two are comedic and very informative. I’m cruising from Miami and back to Miami. We are going to Jamaica and Mexico. Do we need to get a passport?
First cruise will be January. So, if we get off of the ship at a port, can I just bring my drivers license? Or do I need a driver’s license and passport? Love your channel!! Really good information and humor 😂
I’m traveling with my 9 year old. Do I have to take photos or take any documentation off of the ship in Nassau in order for him to be able to get back on the ship?
My cabin is on deck 1 in the middle of the ship on carnival radiance. Is that a bad deck to be on? It wasn’t very cheap, I paid 700$ for a 4 day cruise
We are traveling with my 4 year old son. When we get off the ship for our excursion do I need to take his birth certificate? I know it’s needed before we leave for the cruise but I’m just unsure about what would be needed for him when boarding again after destinations.
I keep seeing warnings about buying pictures. Do people not use their phones and edit them that way? Like will someone stop you from taking a picture with your phone
What's up guys, I have been enjoying your show so much! Listen I'm going on my 5th cruise 03/09/23 I haven't always gotten a WiFi package. I've been looking at all the packages and none of them support FaceTime but we need to video call with our son's. What is the best package to get to do so?

I believe it smh
So true when i got off everything was high got around the corner the same thing was so much cheaper
I have found that in many of the ports(jamaica,mexico,PR & the rest) so yeah
I just went there on a cruise last week and this happened to me it was like I was being peer pressured 😂
This is true, they are super-pushy in Nassau, it's almost as bad as Jamaica for that
I am cruising for the first time in March for our honeymoon and I have legit binge watched your channel. It's so helpful!
Have fun!
Yall are doing the Lord's work let me tell ya! I'm going on my first cruise in April and I have been binging all of your videos. They're so helpful!
LMBO! Thank you.
Y'all will make sure we are ready thanks.
✔️
Get the room you want!!! Good advice 😊
Girl I couldn't believe how many people still don't do that muster drill! It's so easy and quick now!!
It’s crazy smh
When did they change it?
@bethanyh1537 t was changed since they restarted back up. I went last October and as soon as we got in board they directed us to our muster station. It took maybe 10 minutes and when we came out our rooms were ready. We got upstairs and watched the safety video on it tv while we unpacked. Quick and easy!

Muster drill is a drill that no one remembers how to do when it’s over. I do it as soon as I get on the ship
Given the most recent behavior on Carnival ships. I think it would be a great idea if you guys made a Travel Etiquette and Behavior tips video. We recently went on a cruise and the people in the comedy club were so obnoxious were the comedian had to call them out on it.
We can teach people what’s not in them already 🥲

🥰
I'm not a crusier...been on one in my life,but I enjoy watching you two so much.#couple goals
🥰
1 - Love the t-shirts! 2 - I am about to go on my fourth cruise, but I still learn so much from your videos!
Yay! Thank you!
I went to guest services during dinner time on day 1 and 3. Nobody in line then
Many people buy their trips a year in advance. They also get the jet skis and other excursions in advance too. When we arrived at our destination everything was sold out 😮😮. Buy early 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😃
I’m going on cruise with my high school best friend this Monday. I have been cruising before, she hasn’t. Your videos have me so hyped! Thanks😆
You're gonna have a ball!
Have a blast
Y’all are so real! I love y’all!
Find the right cruise for your self that's why I do my research first thing first ask questions
I’m so happy I found you two. We have never cruises with carnival. Our first cruise with carnival will be in June 2023 out of NY. We always cruise with royal and Norwegian. I’m learning so much from you two. I love that your true. The good the bad and the ugly.

You are right with the welcome drink. the welcome drink is the biggest scam. People get sucked in, while we walk right by.
You also spot on with the excursions. It’s been a tradition to get a spot on the rail and watch the pier runners.
You got guts. We got 20 years of cruising and I’ll be damn if we book with a third party excursion.
Just got off my first cruise on the Valor, going on the Glory next Halloween. I admit i was overwhelmed. I did not see one comedy show, celebrated my birthday too hard and got enough sun that we went to bed early a couple of nights
We are headed back from our cruise on the Carnival Valor.. we had a great time.
Wooooow! Taking a picture of the ID is very smart. Never thought of that. Glad they let me back on the ship in cozumel because I lost my ID and sign and sail card. So glad we weren't in the Bahamas.
Dang Fam!
I’m not going on a trip for the rest of the year, but I’m taking a picture of my ID for future references. Thank you!
Lol. ✔️
Oh my gosh, you guys are awesome! I've always wanted to take a cruise but have been afraid. I'm going to watch all your videos and I think I could take a cruise feeling safe. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
Just got back from my cruise. Sailed out New Orleans then to Cozumel.. thanks for the tips

But they assist your sailing before you even get onboard. Laundry, prep the list goes on and on. But we are big on tipping the background too

You got me nervous. 😬 I'm going in May 2023.
Please don’t get nervous. It may have been because of staff shortage and not being able to get supplies in. I am sure by May they will have all the corrections made by then.

Is there anything specific you should wear for a sea day brunch because it’s held in the main dining room?
Nope 🙂↔️

Great video! You guys help take the edge off!, I'm a first time Cruiser, its a lot to process❤❤
Thank you guys so much for these tips.
Great information! Thank you 😊
Always Always the best information, Thanks 😊

Lol. Yes it definitely fell in my lap!
This is great ! Thanks y’all
Thank you
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS
That welcome aboard drink seems like a dirty deal when there is no indication of a fee
My wife and I never had a problem in Nassau Bahamas
You are blessed lol
That great information I will send this to my daughter this will be here first CRUISE. THINK YOU 😊 🤔 💭 THIS LARRY FROM CINCINNATI
Thank you❤️
Nice. Love your "tips" 😉
Thank you. Great info. Very Helpful.

1.) Are you allowed to bring a professional camera on board?
2.) When sharing a cabin with a roommate can you all pay separately or does it have to be together? Trying to see if I used my card will I have to pay their gratuities and mine.
Yes and yes 🥰

Either one is fine

I just got back from my first cruise and had a blast, and yep they got me with those pictures 😂
It’s a right of passage lol
on the subject of water- i don't drink soda, so i was wondering if 12 pack cans of carbonated water are allowed?
Yep
Great video. Very helpful
Thanks guys!!!! 😊
They said we could bring a case of water snacks and 12 pack of drinks. I'm going to have to double check after watching
You can’t bring on water.
Thank y’all🤍
I love yall.. and baby i have taken a few cruises 🛳 and I am upset about that sea day breakfast whew chile wont happened 🙃 again better know it lol

I know you guys said it's safer to book your excursion with carnival but what else can we do in Nassau without booking an excursion?Thanks for your help.
There’s a free beach you can walk to it’s about 15 minutes away
@@LifeWithUsTV any restaurants/bars near the port worth trying?
I love you guys!!! Going in January with a group of 19 adults… Any suggestions for booking excursions??????????
Contact carnival groups and see if they can do a group excursion.
Im about to go on my first carnival cruise and i am binge watching all your videos to prepare lol. Also I really love your hair. Are those mini twist?
Thank you. My hair is microlocd
First timer coming up in February thanks so much for the videos!!! Where do we prepay the gratuity?
It’s within your booking details online
Are you able to reload your sail and sign card if you use cash?
Yep
What can I wear on sea days? I’m a jeans and tshirt girl.. and not to big a fan of swimming the whole time?
Where whatever makes you comfortable
Just found your channel and your tips are a lifesaver. My partner and I are going on our first cruise in April!
Have fun
I'm cruising with my friends. My question is can you bring a bottle of wine on the plane & ship
Yes. Plane = checked luggage. Cruise = carryon
@@LifeWithUsTV Thank you
First time cruiser here, my question is Do you pay for Seaday Brunch or is it included?
Hey fam! It’s included.
A lot of the dine in restaurants was free now I missed out a lot on those are a lot a the buffet and room service..I know next time
Can you bring a wine cocktail like a Margarita that’s only wine and not really alcohol?
Yes as long as it’s wine based
Going on cruise dec 3rd from New Orleans so I’m watching y’all videos thank you y’all for y’all knowledge……. Do you gotta dress up to get breakfast ?
Nah
Do you have any suggestions on how to search/get a specific room? I love the porthole rooms, but when I have selected specific cruises and go to the rooms sometimes they don't come up. Only interior, windows, balaconys, and the spa rooms come up
It probably means they are sold out.
If you have an allergy to certain foods... when should you let the cruise know? How far in advance? Thank you
Let your travel agent know and we’ll put it in but also let the dining room know.
Hello I’m new to cruising I’m taking my 2nd cruise.this time to the Bahamas. When is it a good time to purchase the drink package & internet?
Asap
Once in Nassau how do you get to the beach with doing an excursion
taxi or walk
I’ve been binge watching your videos and I love them!! You two are comedic and very informative. I’m cruising from Miami and back to Miami. We are going to Jamaica and Mexico. Do we need to get a passport?
aww thanks. No you don’t need it.
So is brunch free while on sea
Yes
First cruise will be January. So, if we get off of the ship at a port, can I just bring my drivers license? Or do I need a driver’s license and passport? Love your channel!! Really good information and humor 😂
DL is fine in port.
Are the pools deep on cruise. I’m 35 5ft 5 and can’t swim 😂 😂
About 4 or 5 feet
Wait! You can bring prepackaged snacks on board??! Like chips?
Yep
I’m traveling with my 9 year old. Do I have to take photos or take any documentation off of the ship in Nassau in order for him to be able to get back on the ship?
Yes you need id for yourself and your sail and sign card for her
hi Stanley and Lynette I really enjoy you too what Excursion do you suggest to do in Nasa Bahamas
It depends on what you like. We like the beach and water park excursions
VERY helpful information for first time cruisers!!! 🛳
How does carnival know you booked an actual excursion with them to not leave you behind?
Because it’s linked to your booking and your sail and sign card.
Stanley looks like Chris rock
What's up family!
Ayeeeee 🥰
I learn something from yawl everytime😮
Is the sea day brunch an extra fee? It is it included?
It’s included
How soon does the drink package start once on the ship?
It depends on which state you cruise from
My cabin is on deck 1 in the middle of the ship on carnival radiance. Is that a bad deck to be on? It wasn’t very cheap, I paid 700$ for a 4 day cruise
It’s the lowest deck, not my preference but it’ll do
@@LifeWithUsTV I upgraded it to deck 10, the spa room 🏖️
We are traveling with my 4 year old son. When we get off the ship for our excursion do I need to take his birth certificate? I know it’s needed before we leave for the cruise but I’m just unsure about what would be needed for him when boarding again after destinations.
No you’re fine once onboard ✔️
I keep seeing warnings about buying pictures. Do people not use their phones and edit them that way? Like will someone stop you from taking a picture with your phone
Yes they don’t allow you take pictures with their backdrop.
Oh I see, it's the backdrop pictures. Going on my first cruise in September 2023 and I'm clueless lol. Thanks for the videos!
What's up guys, I have been enjoying your show so much! Listen I'm going on my 5th cruise 03/09/23 I haven't always gotten a WiFi package. I've been looking at all the packages and none of them support FaceTime but we need to video call with our son's. What is the best package to get to do so?
I wouldn’t count on any of them to support FaceTime as it’s too unstable at sea. The best bet is the social media package and do WhatsApp etc
