We sailed in February.

Thanks for watching!

We appreciate the input. Thanks for watching

Thanks!

Tracey’s happy our current Oceania Sirena cruise has blueberries! Thanks for watching

Wei glad it’s useful.

We’re glad it’s useful.

Thank you so very much. Have a wonderful trip.

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

We haven’t sailed HAL yet. We are currently in the Oceania Sirena and are pleased to say that so far, the ship is in great shape and the food is at the level that it should be. Thanks for watching!

We have the World America and the Harmonia booked for next fall. Of course we have also done 118 days on the Poesia on the 23 WC. MSC is a different experience but one we have enjoyed. Thanks for watching !

@@janandtraceytravels Hello - do you mean the "Armonia" - if so this is a smaller and older ship, no yacht club, no app. I was looking at a cruise on this ship but worry I may find it too much of a let down compared with the newer larger better featured ships so your comments will be a welcome read/view. World America is very different, one of the newest largest and best featured ships in the fleet, will certainly be an interesting contrast!! Enjoy!!

@@imsbvs Yes, our mistake. The Armonia. As far as the differences between the two ships, that's exactly the reason we want to do it. Thanks again for such engaging comments!

Enjoy!

Fantastic! We enjoyed our time on the Vista!

Thanks!

We just remembered that the World Traveler only has one hot tub. Our last two Atlas cruises have been on the World Navigator, which has 2 hot tubs. Unfortunately, for Antarctica cruises, the ice cream trolley is not open. But you can get ice cream inside (we might be sensing a bit of appropriate sarcasm?). Don't worry, though, as the hot tub(s) and pool will be open once you get across the Drake. The hot tub(s) are great when you return from your night camping in Antarctica, especially right after the Polar Plunge! Thanks for watching.

Yea an so much. We’ve now sailed 3 times on Atlas and each time it has been in a Veranda Stateroom. However, we just got off our last cruise where we were able to tour most of the other cabins. We’ll have a full tour coming up in the future. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and caring enough to comment!

We were so thrilled to get to know you. We will stay in touch and look forward to the next opportunity to share the sea together!

I'm guilty as charged! We should have called this a mid-size ship. We thought that compared to most of the newer ships, it was a smaller ship--which still does not make the NCL Sky a "small" ship. Thanks for watching and contributing in such a meaningful way!

@@janandtraceytravels Everything's relative and in today's world, what was large is medium! I'm not sure how much bigger ships can get, though. We'll see.

We literally disembarked the World Navigator yesterday from our 3rd cruise on the line. It was wonderful. Food was very good (although not perfect) and the Wi-Fi is still as disappointing as ever. However, they do now provide free WhatsApp which is a small improvement. The crew and the overall experience are still among the best we’ve ever sailed on.

We usually have a bottle of water, a snack, battery pack, and some camera accessories.

For the landings, we each took a GoPro which we both used. Tracey brought her phone for pictures. Jan also brought his Canon R6 as well for some photography and videos. The GoPros were the primary video tools however. On the ship, our primary video device was a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and Jan’s Canon R6. Truth be told, our phones could have done 90% of the job.

Thanks a lot, that’s very helpful 🙏

@@kuswadewikesiani1435 Glad it helped!

We will be on the Explora 2 in February. So we would be interested in your thoughts as you’ll be in her a month before we will! 😎

We’ve been on the Getaway before and will be back on in February. While things may have changed, we are currently more excited about our Getaway sailing. Thanks for watching.

You are going to have such a great time! We actually just got home from the World Navigator, where we were on the repositioning cruise from Montevideo to Ushuaia. In this video, right before the Polar Plunge, we listed the landing/Zodiac Cruise gear that we brought from home. Those are highly recommended. However, if you forget something, the ship's store will be more than thrilled to sell you what you need! An Atlantic cruise on Atlas is far more informal than most other cruises. We don't remember anyone getting dressed up for dinner--we certainly did not. The attitude is that we are all on this vessel on an adventure--the fussiness gets in the way. Bring a swimsuit. Even if you don't do the Polar Plunge (highly encouraged just for the experience), the ship has an incredible coed sauna with large windows facing the ocean, and the Traveler has one hot tub and a heated pool to relax in between sailings. What room type do you have? We had a B1 Veranda (room tour on our channel), and although our World Navigator B1 had shelves in the closet, our B1 Veranda on the World Traveler did not. This means there is a limited amount of space for folded clothes. Consider purchasing some magnetic hooks and a folding closet organizer. While the walls are not magnetic, the ceiling is. So we put two hooks on the ceiling and hung the closet organizer with shelves in some dead space. It'll sway horribly during the Drake Passage (if you nestle in a corner, it will sway less), but it buys back some additional storage space. When packing, think of where to pack your parka to take home! You'll see many people carrying their parkas onto the airplane as they had no room to pack it. We are so envious of you. On our cruise last week, we did a zodiac cruise of the Garibaldi Glacier, and our February experience rushed back over us. Have a fantastic time!

That's one of the great things about the Yacht Club. We might forget something, but here were the things that we were thrilled to receive as part of our base fare: --the Premium Drink Package --unlimited non-streaming internet service for what we think was 2 devices per person --Complimentary access to the thermal spa, which is very nice --Sparkling Wine in your room upon arrival --Your choice of liquor in your cabin (you'll butler will ask you for your selection) --Oh yeah, a butler! Even if you are in an interior room. --Access to the Yacht Club Concierge, who will make all your reservations. --Stocked mini-bar We've done the Haven on NCL several times and feel the Yacht Club gives you so much more. Enjoy the Marina, and thanks for watching!

Have a great time! We are so glad that this helped.

How exciting! Have a great trip and thank you so much for watching-all 15 times!😎

Thanks! Also subscribed 😊

Enjoy!

That’s $4 more than we have ever won!

To succinctly answer your question: Amazing! The boats are surprisingly stable. There is a rope that goes along each side of the boat that you can hold onto with in hand. If you still feel nervous, you can gently lean towards the center of the boat. After your first or second time out, you’ll be comfortable. We guarantee to refund your price if watching our video if you don’t! 😎

If we do another world cruise, we’ve already agreed that we would want to go in Viking. No, we didn’t like the food, but everyone has said they have always enjoyed the food-so we are taking our one cruise as a one off experience. Loved pretty much everything else about it. Thanks for watching.

@@janandtraceytravels Don't know if you noticed but when reservation time comes along ahead of time, we often find that the good times are gone (for dining), plus we aren't foodies so we're never sure about the Chef's Table menu, so the first thing we do once boarding is go to the restaurant, check the menu, then go to our room and make reservations on the TV. I've heard it said that the online reservations are around 50% of the available tables, we've never not gotten a time we want - if there's anything we like to eat at the Chef's Table during the cruise.

Oh wow! Have a great trip. Just 7 months to go!

@@janandtraceytravels think prima a beautiful ship. But design for outside use. Small inside things shame Epic bigger but more on. Will,see how things go. Think two thousand on

It all depends on the excursion. We think we remember that Troy was about 2 hours away while Ephesus was about 45 minutes. On other cruises we’ve had bus rides which were nearly 2 1/2 hours. We don’t remember more than maybe one or two excursions in all of our cruises where there was a restroom on-board. However, there is nearly always a restroom stop at the hour mark. Understand that the tour operators are all different, so your experience may vary. Thanks for watching!

We actually never have seen inside these rooms. Sorry.

Yes, one 110 outlet. We didn’t mean to imply-if we did-that the adapters were converters as even with an adapter you will still be working with 220 voltage. Fortunately most things that we use-phone chargers, USB adapters, and computers are all 110/220 compatible. But you bring up an important point. Thanks for watching.

The landings were between about 60-90 minutes. Of course there was the prep-time in the mud rooms that added about another half hour. And yes, one landing/zodiac cruise in the morning and one in the afternoon. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the reply! So nice to hear that!

We look forward when we might share a ship again!

That’s largely how we look at our experience. So many others have had your experience as opposed to what we had. Thanks for watching.

That sounds great. It is a great value. Thanks for watching!

We believed eve the Splendor is the most elegant ship we’ve ever been on. Unfortunately, after 5 Regent cruises-including our very first cruise ever-Regent has largely priced us out of their market. Thanks for watching!

The room was fantastic. Fortunately all the non-alcoholic coffees are included regardless of whether you had a drink package or not.

@@janandtraceytravels Priced out, me I'm autistic condemned to a life of poverty. Never been on a cruise. When I lived in Victoria, I wished I could board ship in port just for a few hours, but it's the exclusive province of the rich. Doctors make $500K/yr and an equal amount at least in property appreciation.

Very kind. We are actually leaving Frankfurt today after being able to observe German Reunification Day and a day in Heidelberg where we lived for three years. Vetters is still a great place to have lunch (and maybe a beer😎) We are off to London and then “beyond”. As for Viking, only if everyone is 18+ is it possible to accommodate families. Thanks again!

@@janandtraceytravels oh, what a small world :) Americans living in HD gives me U.S. Army vibes, is that right? (If yes: thank you for your service! Still grateful for our allies!) We lived in Heidelberg (so pretty) part-time for a little while and Frankfurt is our go-to airport... And if you'd ask me German beer is the best beer... Have fun in Europe and keep travelling! :) I personally prefer cruises with no children/ families. It's something hard to find with German cruise lines, American cruise lines are way more ahead in the game. They just don't advertise that much here.

As to US Army, absolutely. We were just talking yesterday that our tour in Heidelberg was the best of our careers. As for German beers, of course. We miss being able to go the the getränkemarkt! We think Viking will be perfect for you…although they are a bit more pricey. They are worth it. Thanks again.

@@janandtraceytravels Getränkemarkt LOL I bet you don’t miss Pfandflaschen though… :) Have a great trip „Beyond“, can‘t wait for that video!

👍
