    Aww this episode brought back so many fun memories on the Epic 💕 we didn't do the ice bar when we sailed, but I think we should have, it looked so fun!

      The ice bar was pretty fun. We enjoyed the cruise, although the ship wasn't our favourite.

    I really appreciated how you broke down the journey from before the cruise started all the way to the Skyy Vodka Ice Bar Experience and the Abbey Road Beatles Show. It's great seeing all the unique spots and experiences aboard. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us

    The resort before looked awesome. I love the pool. Embarkation day always seems hectic, especially for the crew. I've had offers for working on cruise ships before but, never took them.

    The boarding process look smooth and efficient, the ambiance of cruise is amazing, top deck is always fascinating to have excellent views and enjoy the weather. Swimming pool is cherry on top. Thanks for the tour.

    The boarding process was pretty efficient with Norwegian. Everything went so smoothly. Glad you were able to get to the top deck and still have a space for the sail away. And I have been to an ice bar before so I know that cold feeling lol. But still enjoyable.

    O'sheehans pub looks pretty cool. The Sailaway party looks great, cloudy sunsets can still give a great vibe. The sky ice bar looks like a lot of fun. Very nice. What a great start to the cruise.

    What time did you opt to arrive at the port, and how long did you actually have to wait to board after going through security? We opted for an early arrival on our last cruise out of New Orleans, but still were waiting in the terminal for a couple of hours before we were able to board. Looks like Port Canaveral has their act together a bit more...

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 2 měsíci

      Our arrival time was 10:00 and we got there early due to our shuttle time. We waited for about an hour. Very nice terminal though and plenty of seating unlike some other terminals we've been to.

      @@TheAverageTourist Thanks for the info. We're cruising on the same ship out of Port Canaveral in January of 2025, and with it being my sister and brother-in-laws first cruise I'm trying to help make their experience as smooth as possible.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 2 měsíci

      It really was very smooth. And arriving early meant we could walk up to any staff member to check in. No lines at all. Enjoy your cruise!

      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 měsíci

      Yes we did like the escalator!! I thought the bars seemed too crowded together and also not enough staff. And also not enough space on pool deck and not enough bars to disperse the lines. Don't start me on the weird cabins either 🤣🤣
