your video is good.
Thank you. I appreciate your kind comment👍😊 Have a great 2025.
Another informative episode. Very much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it😊thanks again for the feedback👍
Thanks for this video. We are on the world cruise 2025. Have been to Mauritius before on a cruise stopover.
Cool. See you onboard😊 Brenda and Keith. Any recommendations? It looks a good spot.
Do you have a link or recommendation for who to book with for a fishing excursion ?
Unfortunately not. All I know that its available and a good spot for it. Good luck😊
We will be sailing on the Diamond in October 2025 in Japan. Our first Princess cruise, but many other cruises behind us. We are looking forward to sailing on her. Thanks for the tour, it’s always nice to see some of the ship before you arrive on her!
I have never cruised to Japan although on my bucket list. The Diamond is tailored to the asian market. The ships sizing is really good. Enjoy the trip. 😁👍
I have recently discovered your channel. Thank you for all the information on the ports of call for the 2025 Crown Princess world cruise. I have enjoyed them all so far. Hope to meet you both on the cruise.
Your welcome. Counting the days and looking forward to meeting fellow cruises. see you in 175 days or so🤣😊
Sounds great I'm going on 13th Jan to NZ so thank U for the info really helpful
NZ is a fantastic Cruise and im sure you will have a blast. We will be getting off after a 10 day trip Brissy to Tassie return as you get On.
Sounds great I'm going on 13th Jan to NZ so thank U for the info really helpful
Have fun!
Thank U
I was on that cruise it was so great!!!!
We are back on the 3rd of January to Tassie. It is a nice way to travel. 😊
We're hoping to go for a cruise in a few months on the Diamond. Are the Restaurants in the price or do you pay for everything separate
You will love it. The three main dining room restaurants are free as is the buffet. You have 2 specialty dining options that have surcharge. My advice would be to go to the 3 main dining rooms for good variety of food, great service and decor a real quality restaurant experience open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We were just on the Diamond 7 day from Melbourne 3 weeks ago. Thanks for the memories. LOVED Australia and the people.
Excellent to hear, we are pretty lucky down under and nice people are always welcome. Cheers Jim
great info! as always! Thank you! I'm confused as to what to do too! haha ( you didn't make that decision any easier! lol)
I know Amanda, I have been changing my mind as my mood changes on some Ports. I’ll start locking things in at the 6 month mark which is getting close. 😁
@@LivinLifeNowhello.very nice content 🎉
Great post - again! Your videos present the best compilation of information.
Thanks for the comment Nick👍
Well done, as a locally born Lad now living in the USA you managed to give lots of good information ..... I sincerely hope your cruise is a good one ... there's lots to see and depending on the weather it should be a blast. Be sure to pack a brolly as Greenock is one of the wettest places in Scotland even in July 27th... Cheers, from an Ex Port Glasgow boy in Arizona and will possibly be cruising somewhere else..... Michael Orr .
Thanks Michael. I’m thinking it will be stoater, never met a Scotsman I couldn’t share a laugh with. Sounds like an interesting journey you have had and I’m thinking it would have a good story and song to go with it. Cheers Jim
Loved your Aussie take on things. Explained very well 😊
Thank you! 😃 Appreciate your comment. Ta👍
I like to bring fold up hangers, 1 for each dress I bring. Spend a little extra and get a sturdy pop up hamper so it will last for the entire trip. Then I purchase a couple of cheap fold up "ikea" cubes. We toss our shoes in those and throw them away after the cruise. When I can find the 1/2 size cubes I bring 2 for storing undergarments in on the closet shelving. Magnets are life along with a sensor night light for the bathroom.
Excellent advice, thanks you for sharing. Will definitely upgrade the hamper. Will also do the cube for shoes.
Thanks for the video we are sailing on her in February from Brisbane to Japan👍
You’re welcome. Enjoy your trip.
I'm not sure why no one mentions foldable cube storage bin. Not packing cubes, but the ones that are stiff that people put in shelving units. You can find ones that are 10 x 10 or 12 x 12. My sister, mother, and I when on a cruise where I brought 2 per person to keep our stuff organized. We were in a balcony. It worked like a dream. They pack flat and you can label them. I was looking at the shelf in the closet where you had the zip bag. Storage cubes would be perfect in that space. They would use the vertical space well. I roll my clothes, lay the bin on its side, and "file" them sticking out so I can see what is in the cube.
That is makes so much sense. Laying them on the side is ideal, basically creating shelving partitions on the shelf, in a flat pack. I love the idea. 👍 We have a 10 day cruise in January and I’ll trial it for myself. Is it ok to film and share your idea to my subscribers in January? Thank you for sharing.
@@LivinLifeNow Absolutely. I look forward to hearing of your experience.
Thanks for sharing! I'm doing a 120-night world cruise in January 2025, I was planning on taking the foldable cubes, but hadn't thought about putting them on their sides.
@ January is so close. Have a fantastic trip. 😊👍
I notice you have done some research before actually going to Cassablanca. Well done, I do a few cruises a year and must really adopt your example and do my research so get much more out of my cruises..
I will be of on a cruise to Cassablanca in 2026, thanks.
Thanks Paul. Originally I would try to write my research down. But I am a visual type leaner so I started recording then sharing and so started the channel. To be honest my wife use to do all the research and organisation and I would just show up on the day 😊 As you know time in port is limited you may as well get the most of it. Cheers Jim
Hey there Jim & Linda! I just stumbled upon your Princess cruise review on YT! Your videos would be a perfect fit for RoomCougar! We’re all about showcasing honest video room reviews from real travelers like you. Our mission is to build a comprehensive collection of room tours from hotels around the globe! We recently started featuring cruise stateroom reviews, and we’d love to collaborate with you. We’re looking for quick 1-2 minute walkthrough tours, focusing on the room and any stunning views the room may have. If you’re interested, let’s chat! Can’t wait to hear from you! -Mari
Thanks for the tips. I'm booked on the same 2025 cruise. Hope to meet up onboard.
Cool, June 4th cannot come quick enough. Definitely
Thank you! Good tips!
Glad it was helpful!
We are on her repositioning cruise back to Japan via SE Asia leaving Feb 2025, looking forward to it. 2000 passengers to 2600 is just the right size ship for us. More than that, getting on and off is a nightmare Thank you for the tour, enjoyed your no frills approach 👍😊
Thank you. We are on her again in January to Tasmania. The crew are nice ideal for a longer trip. Enjoy, I hope to o Japan one day.
I thought hair dryers were a No no on cruise ships.
Lots of people take them. A travel hair dryer that aligns or changes voltage is not a fire risk. I will check with my wife as hair care is something I do not have to worry about 🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes what I do when I don't have enough hangers is I will hang more than one shirt / blouse on a hanger until I could get more from the steward IF I forgot to bring the kind I get from the drycleaner (metal w/ paper). That is one way to get them out of your home. :) The reason I stopped to watch your video is that we will be doing 54-day cruise round trip from LA to Australia and it's the longest cruise we have done and willing to listen to those that have. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, those dry cleaner ones would not take much room in the suitcase. I agree a good way to move them on 🤣🤣 Cool ya heading down under. It’s a bloody long way but you will enjoy. 😉
We have had several cruises of 35 days and varying weather. We used our suit cases under the bed for additional storage. They're great for all exta toiletry items and closes for the different climates.
Yeah. For 35 days you need to set up home away from home.
Dover is my embarkation port for WC '26. Have planned to spend a few days there first to do all these things before getting on board.
Be good not to rush and take your time with the main 3 attractions.
Great tips. I'm doing the half on Crown in '26 :)
Great itinerary for the 2026, and the ship goes to dry dock after the 2025 so will be nice and fresh. Happy Cruisen.
TIP I pack dryer sheets, which are great for wet or smelly boots/shoes. Plus, use for storing clothing on long cruises 👍
Thanks for sharing, I will now be packing these. I didn’t know about these and it’s a great idea.
Hi we got the laundry hampers from Amazon.
Excellent
Can you please tell me where you purchased the laundry hamper?
Hi Deb. Think this is it $20 www.amazon.com.au/Rustark-Foldable-Lightweight-Collapsible-Dormitory/dp/B0CH9XX6C9/ref=mp_s_a_1_16_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.afseC2Gh-gwKqnZ9hCSphi8PmNGN3PHqCC6usRjkd-GOnEULVrJxIWIfpxc-9q6MJLvmoi-UyJFx95kUG_y7pgu758WKR-P519Dopt4Do3XOtunvdbv9gHQhUjLnXa4QaPCEqitPHrt3Hqs4dc6_g2kCfEmJ9kuPzTkbiG60lqM_LIZPd-XeEC2mTOsKFYsvSBlGzpI8iiVlXviJytDGPg.AzACY-bSDMnKYshPuyCT4eL0Ehe9iJv2srj-D-Mj9nw&dib_tag=se&keywords=collapsible+laundry+basket&qid=1728715649&sr=8-16-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmX25leHQ&psc=1
Nice tour, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the encouragement. 👍
Your videos are fabulous!!! Thank you so much for the down to earth, valuable information!!
You are welcome! Thanks for this comment made me smile 😊👍
On her in 12 days. What was the best bar to hang out in?
Crooners - Good Spirits and Explorers have lots going on around. Wheelhouse for kicking back. If I was settling in for a session I’d probably go Crooners.
@@LivinLifeNow thanks for the info. I thought good spirits would be to busy. I'm a big fan of the princess live bar. Got everything you want 🍻🍻
Thanks for this We are heading onto the Diamond next month. Its nice to see it. Is it possible to take the Skybus from the ship port to the airport?
Not that we know. Taxi was $30 and the ship offered transfers to Skybus for $16 each. It’s a 5 min walk to the tram station that goes to Collins St as the value option, although awkward with baggage. Glad you enjoyed 😊
Bogan central.
Thanks mate, wear it with pride
We stayed in that exact cabin B619 back in December 2005. Next cruise on the Diamond is December 2024 staying in C719.
Good spot eh👍 we are back on in January 2025 this time on Port Side exactly opposite.
Love it, thanks so much.
You are so welcome!😊 glad you enjoyed it, cheers.
Brilliant! Bev and I just watched this and we said “maybe we should go to Canterbury first then do the castle on the way back” ….. just before you said exactly the same thing. 😀😀
Great minds think alike😊. Need to catch up again in the next 91 days will PM
Good over view. I’m doing the New Zealand cruise in January on this ship. 😊
Thanks Kevin - great trip NZ and the royal is a great ship to do it on. Everyone has a preferred ship, I’ve been on 7 different princess ships and the Royal is right up there. You won’t be disappointed.
@@LivinLifeNow Thanks first cruise for me. Recently retired bucket list ticking. 😂😂
Thanks for that info! We too might save some pennies and just "wander" and see what there is to see!
Thank you. I am already regretting choosing a cruise that goes to Le Verdon as I want to go to Bordeaux but I don't relish the 2 hour bus ride there. You answered my question that this was really the only option other than staying on the boat. So I guess we'll be doing that.
Glad you found it helpful 😊 the only other way is on a small cruise ship they go all the way up the river. Different price point though.
Thanks for the video, very helpful! Would you have a link to the minibus tour you are recommending? thank you!

Gracias por este video Cadiz es una ciudad muy bonita
Gracias Salvador. 👍
Thanks for the video, Jim. I took an excursion to Sevilla from my cruise stop in Cadiz. Seville is gorgeous but it was Feria week and we got caught in traffic so only spent a couple of hours there. Next time, I’m going to stick around Cadiz and your video confirmed it’s worth doing. Cheers!
Thanks Pippa. Getting caught in traffic is a pain. Sometimes I don’t mind the bus on excursions, I guess it depends on what I’m looking at out the window. It certainly looks like a good port stop.
Awesome thanks again Jim
Thanks Vicki. 👍
Planning visiting Gibraltar from Tangier in November. This video is super helpful. Thank you

Hi Jim, can you check the dates please - I thought we are in Barcelona (on my birthday) - the 15th JULY (not 14th) then Mallorca on the 16th July
Hey Amanda Yes all my old videos are wrong. I started on the old itinerary and about 4 ports with wrong dates are still online. I need to edit. Glad to hear you are celebrating a Birthday on the trip. I’ll be in Bergen for mine. Barcelona will be a great Port to celebrate.
@@LivinLifeNow thanks! Just wanted to make sure I hadnt got it wrong! Love your videos- thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Loving your videos!
