Ich grüße alle Fest und Flauschig Hörer :)
Wer ist auch nur wegen böhmermang hier?? It’s hilarious😀
Wer ist hier wegen Fest und Flauschig und dem dünnen blassen Jungen?
Dachte mir schon, dass die nicht in Schaffhausen gestarted sind :)
Enjoyed the authenticity
We are taking a Christmas Market River cruise as our first trip to Europe. I appreciate your videos since we are Disney adults, as well.
Hi Bill! We hope you have a great time! It’s such a great experience and what better way to take your first trip in Europe with a river cruise!
Pro tip for the Christmas markets......
Bring empty food containers and/or storage bags, in your backpack, to the Christmas markets. Trust me, the locals ALL do this! The many, many, many food stalls are a must! The portions are large, and the prices are good, especially compared to Disneyworld!
Two people can split most items and still bring back delicious food to your ship for midnight snacks. The portions are really too big for 2 people to finish and then try more items. Each item is almost the size of a meal for one person. Plan to share everything, and even then, you will have food to bring back to your hotel or ship.
You must try curry wurst (pronounced vurst), roasted mushrooms, and strudel, along with many more wonderful food! Also, do try the frites (fries), with the sauces they recommend. Very different from the US. Familiar, yet amazing. 😉
Also, gluhwein stalls are everywhere! Understand that the mulled wine is served in a cute little tea cup, for which they charge you a deposit. If you return the little mug, you get some money back. If you do not return the little mug, you have an authentic gluhwein cup souvenir. 😉
We didn't think about talking food back to the ship, but we do have a nice collection of mugs from our cruise.
Thanks for this !!!!
I loved our cruise on the Rhine and visiting the Christmas Markets! It was COLD like 30-32 degrees each day and no sunny skies. I would do it again.
So cute that Josh is singing "meow, meow, meow...".😅
After working many years for a global, German company, I have developed a deep love of gluhwein (pronounced "glue vine", in Germany).
You guys are taking one of the very best cruises in the world!
I've been lucky enough to travel to Germany for Christmas markets, on business, but I've never taken one of the river cruises. It's on my bucket list.
Thank you for sharing! Safe travels! 🙏 💜
Had I realized you two were going on this particular adventure, I would have offered up these suggestions ahead of time.
Hopefully, some of your followers and friends will catch these tips for next December.
Best wishes and safe travels, you two! 💜
I can't wait to go someday! Love that ot wasn't sold out! The pool is small. But with a smaller ship and amount of people it will work. Virgin Cruise line has the smallest pools ever! I'll never use them because of this. Just crazy

Loved all the cruises I’ve been on
I have been anxiously awaiting this Vlog! Can’t wait to see all the episodes
Loved seeing your faces, as newbies, you made me smile!! My Husband Ron, and I have done every river in Europe, some multi times. And have actually done 2 Christmas market trips! Highlight of our first was i was interviewed by the Christmas Angel for German Television, when we visited the one, and the Best in Nuremburg, Germany. And the whole ship got to watch it that evening on the ship in the lounge! Also, at every Market we visited, i got one of the town souvenir cups, and brought each one home. Still have them hanging up on a peg rack my husband made for me. Glad you were able to enjoy this part of Europe in the winter. The snow really makes the Season, come alive! Vickie from SE Pa
Ugh
Guess I’ll just skip this now…😕
The Christmas markets have been on my bucket list since I first heard of them. 🎄 Flying into Turkey seems odd, is that a major hub? Can’t wait to see more of your trip!
Just started watching your channel with your Christmas cruise you guys are awesome I hope you continue now I’m off to watching your Alaskan cruise and many more you are a great couple I hope you guys continue thank you so much for letting me see the world
Thanks so much!! This trip and Alaska were some of our favorite trips we’ve taken so far!
Excited to see all the markets and cities you are going to!
Emerald looks great. Can't wait for the rest of the series!!
Oh how exciting! I always wanted to go on a river cruise and especially a Christmas market one! I hope its everything you hoped for! Love from Vancouver Island Canada❣
Looking forward to future videos. This is on my bucket list. I would fly in a few days early, get used to the time change, see some of the port city and be rested for the cruise.
Finally getting to catch up on these videos!! U guys always do such cool experiences and do a great job identifying and describing the cruise and “travel” aspect in a short and concise manner! ❤ looks like so much fun! Definitely would love to experience this
I have been so looking forward to these vlogs! I really want to try a river cruise! Looks a lot more laid back than an ocean cruise.
Thanks for sharing I’ve always wanted to do a riverboat cruise !!!
What? I'm the first viewer of the Vlog? I"m a happy gal! My sister did a river cruise overseas and loved it!
We ate with different people every day and it was absolutely wonderful meeting so many people!
Same here. We met people from all over the world.
We did a 24 day river cruise from Bonn Germany to the Black Sea and it was absolutely amazing! If I had the money I do another one!
How fun! I’m planning my husband and I’s 20th wedding anniversary trip in 2024. I’m planning a river cruise and week in Italy. I’m so excited. And thinking AMA. Do y’all plan on doing another river cruise, soon?
We would absolutely love to do another one soon! You will have a great time! Let us know if we can help you plan it out! We might be able to save you some extra money!
I had more alcohol on that 24 day River Cruise then I probably had in the two years before that! 😃
Question Josh & Taylor: do you think adding a land package pre cruise would have helped with the travel fatigue on day 1?
That could definitely help, but we would normally recommend always flying in at least 1 day if not 2 in case of issues with travel (like flight delays) and that extra day will help with the travel fatigue.
Thank you! We took advantage of the free pre cruise land package through AMA so we have 4 extra days 🤯 super jazzed!!
Can you link those outlet plugs? Thanks!
how active can one be on the Christmas market river cruise; are there excursions during the daytime, did you get lots of steps in?
The excursions were very active. They were almost all walking excursions except for one day when they altered due to weather and maybe have the excursion a bus tour.
You can also do as much or as little as you want. In most cases, your docked right next to the city so it’s very easy to get around on foot.
@@travelwithjoshandtaylor very helpful, thanks so much
@@travelwithjoshandtaylor are the excursions exclusively Christmas markets, or are there lots of other historical sites to see?
Thoughts on this cruise vs. the similar ABD cruise?
We have never done an ABD, but we can tell you anything Disney is going to be much higher in price
What about temperature in the room? Conditioner?
Has a thermometer like any other cruise ship or cruise line (River/oceanic). Air conditioner and all. Just like an ocean cruise, if you open the window or door the system stops running to conserve power.
Ok, who is available to assist me in booking a Christmas market cruise next November/December?
Can my tips earn me a discount?
Best wishes and safe travels!
We personally book River cruises! 😆

Is it easier to get sick on a river cruise or ocean
Ocean. Way more people from a lot more places.
@@travelwithjoshandtaylor I mean is the current crazy as it would be on a ocean if I get sick on a cruise easier
i need jobs can u help me
One more thing, then I'll shut up.
In Europe, almost every dessert is called a "pudding". Cake? That's a pudding. Trifle? Yep, pudding.
Most desserts are "puddings".
Except for what Americans refer to as "pudding". In Europe, THATS a custard.
🤣
But
thanks for polluting, not only by air but on the water aswell.
