Welcome to Aub & Steve Adventures. We are high school sweethearts that love to travel. What we love to do most is cruise. We have been on 15 cruises with 5 different cruise lines (Carnival, Holland America, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages). Alaska four times, the Caribbean six times, and Canada twice.
Our home base is in Houston, TX. Houston is well positioned for those who enjoy traveling. We can go from home to on a cruise ship in less than two hours. If we need to fly anywhere, Houston has two major airports.
We would like to start exploring international locations soon. Europe and the Mediterranean are tops of our travel list.
Thanks for following on our adventures!

CRUISE NEWS: MSC coming to Texas
November 2025 will welcome a new cruise line to Galveston, Texas. MSC Cruises will bring its ship MSC Seascape to Texas for year-round cruising of the Western Caribbean.
The Port of Galveston has also announced that it will be building a new cruise terminal for MSC on pier 16. In addition to the terminal building, there will be a parking structure and at least two surface lots for cruise guests. The new terminal will be situated between the existing terminals bringing more jobs, money, and traffic to the port area. The terminal is a $151 million investment in the future of cruising out of southeast Texas. Construction began in August 2024 and is scheduled to be finished by November 2025.
Whether this is good news or bad news depends on your point of view. The increased variety of cruise lines available out of Galveston is welcome. For too long, those cruising out of southeast Texas have had limited choices. It has been either Carnival or Royal Caribbean. But now you can choose from those two along with Princess, Disney, Norwegian, and soon MSC. Now if we could only get a few different itineraries. You can only go to Cozumel so many times.
This announcement by MSC also sends notice to all the major cruise brands that MSC is not afraid of them. This is evident in the more recent news that MSC will begin cruises to Alaska very soon. Be on the lookout for more cruise expansion from this growing company.

@carolewagner6377 Thank you for watching. Your input is noted and appreciated.
Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
do you have a room tour any vlog style video (maybe with restaurant/food, activity, port, etc info) of the ruby princess?
Sorry, we do not any vlog style videos or room tours of the Ruby Princess. We do have a couple room tours from the Emerald Princess. Ruby and Emerald are nearly identical, if that helps.
@@aubandsteve Thank you
Have a deposit down for a Mexico cruise out of San Francisco price is very high even for the standard fare all we can afford,have a feeling we will be nickled and dimed to death.after reading the website thinking of cancelling.
Sorry to hear that. We don't typically add any packages to our cruise. We get the cheapest cabin and save the money for shore excursions or one specialty restaurant. We also don't drink, so that saves money. It is very hard to find good deals anymore. Hope you still get to go.
No cigar lounge?
No cigar lounge. It is a video arcade now. The Emerald Princess still had a cigar lounge last we saw.
Which one did you like better Emerald or Ruby Princess?
If forced to choose, we'd probably go with Emerald. That would be because of the updated buffet. It felt more modern than Ruby. But, you can't go wrong with either ship. They're essentially the same.
We’ll be on the Ruby Princess next year in October for a 16 day Hawaiian cruise. We’re so excited that words cannot describe. We did a 12 day Panama Canal cruise this year in Oct on the Emerald Princess and had a wonderful time. It’s my understanding that these two are sister ships but after watching your video I see some differences. They’re not identical it seems. Have you ever sailed on the Emerald by any chance? Do you have any idea of any major differences between the two.? I know this may seem like a random question but I thought you might know. Thanks in advance and thanks for a very well made video. 👍🏻🛳️
Your Hawaiian cruise sounds amazing. We've looked at those sailing out of San Francisco on the Ruby. Haven't booked anything yet. As far as the differences between Ruby and Emerald, they are mostly cosmetic. To us, it seemed like the Emerald had been refreshed more recently. The most noticeable difference was the buffet. On Emerald, the buffet was more modern with nicer decor. Ruby's buffet was dated looking. Same food, just different esthetic. Aside from that, there are no huge differences. We are happy to answer any other questions you have. Let us know what you think of the Ruby after your October cruise. Thanks for watching!
Great video! We’re looking at a cruise on Ruby and this has been super useful, thanks!
Glad we could help. We had a nice time on Ruby.
💕💕💕 I want some!!
It's a perfect reason to book a Virgin cruise.
That's fancy!!! 🎉 I don't like the see through bathroom door.
@gigi4874-w3w It was by far the fanciest cabin we've ever stayed in. The bathroom door was hard to get used to. It was most noticeable if you had to use the bathroom during the night. The light was bright and could wake up the other person. Worth it for that amazing balcony.
the decor is dated ,think id be bored on this ship ,is its target market pensioners
It is an older ship for sure. Being bored would depend on what you like to do when cruising. There are stage shows and live music venues. The standards like trivia and karaoke are there also. No water slides or roller-coasters on this ship. We cruise to relax, so we were never bored.
Thanks for sharing!! This is my first time experiencing MSC. I was pleasantly surprised that my interior cabin was upgraded for free to a deluxe balcony.
We had the same experience. Booked an inside, was upgraded to the deluxe balcony. Have a great time on your cruise! If you haven't already, check out our full ship tour of the MSC Seaside.
Carnival dock in galvestonn what dock is that?
This was at the pier 25 cruise terminal in Galveston. Carnival also uses the pier 28 terminal.
That's a cool short! Great views from the track!
The view can't be beat. Not a bad spot for some exercise.
Very nice ship tour and beautiful ship!
Virgin does a nice job with their ship designs. It is our favorite cruise line so far. Thanks for watching our video.
Fantastic ship apart from the Lido deck. Virgin sure have set high standards. Some real smoothe filming too guys 👍
Virgin is very unique and not everyone's cup of tea. We agree that the Lido could be a little a little better, but the rest of the ship is very well done. Looking forward to trying Brilliant Lady when she comes out. Thanks so much for watching!
wash your hands...that ship is a germ infested boat...they only clean it the way is should be "after" an outbreak...princess is a waste of your time and money now...
Hand washing is always a good idea, especially on a cruise. Sounds like you had an issue on this ship. Sorry to hear that. Fortunately, we didn't experience any health or cleanliness problems on our cruise.
@aubandsteve ya well, when they ask u to wash yer hands before entering the buffet and every fat entitled murican just walks in wiping their nose n ass, what u expect...
Virgin have definately pushed the boat out with these cabins! Very nice. 👍👍
We could have spent the entire cruise out on that balcony. Thought about sleeping in the hammock, but it was too breezy.
@@aubandstevethat could work out on overnight ports in the summer 👍
@@CruiseLife22 sounds like a good excuse to book another cruise.
That’s a very nice cabin! I’m gonna have to sail on a Virgin Voyages cruise. Love the bar and record player! That balcony is epic! Thanks for the tour!
It was a whole lot nicer than anything we've ever stayed in before. Too bad we're not big drinkers. That bar kind of went to waste on us. Got our rock star agent to stock the fridge with soda and juice for us, though. Thanks for watching! Ship tour video to come...
@@aubandsteve I’ll be looking for the ship tour!
Nice tour of a great cabin. 👌😀🚢👍
@@SailwithGailandMike Thanks!
That’s an amazing place!
We agree. Not sure what we were expecting, but this was not it. It did not disappoint. We will be going back there soon.
Nice tour thank you, we sail on her Feb 2025.
We're happy you enjoyed the tour. Have a wonderful cruise.
Awesome view!
I would have slept on that balcony if it wasn't so cold at night.
My happy place would be if I owned that vessel. 😊
That would be nice. It only cost Virgin Voyages $710 million USD to build. Doesn't everyone have that kind of money?😂
Nice video! As a fellow videographer, it shows the steadiness, flow, music choice, and never let oneself get caught in the shoot. Looks like a DSL ? The time of day of your shoot was perfect. Too bad Princess couldn't let you take a quick inside view of the basic cabins( Inside; Oceanview; Balcony ). 👍 Were taking a 16day Hawaii in March 2025.
Thank you so much! For the most part, we have no idea what we're doing. We are just having fun sharing our love of cruising with everyone. 99% was shot using a DJI Pocket 2 camera. It does a pretty good job and is more discreet than some others. Have a great time on your upcoming cruise!
Same with us, leaving from San Francisco in March, 16 night Hawaii with Ruby Princess...looking for it.
Sounds fantastic! Have a great cruise.
@@rayc9899 We're leaving SF( Ruby Princess ) W/3-19-2025 -thru- F/4-4-2025. If you're taking the same ship, we'll look for you on board .. yes?
@@mikeswenson6613 Yes, it will be the same ship....Yes, it will be nice meeting you guys, we're from Canada...big hug and happiness...We celebrating our 45 years of marriage.
It looks a great cabin!
The cabin was very nice. There were some signs of wear and tear, but very comfortable and you can't beat having a balcony.
A nice mid-sized ship. Nothing overly extravagant, but still a classy ship. Have you cruised on Ruby Princess?
Hi do you have any recommendations about fore, aft, or middle of the ship for rooms (same question for level) and do you think the ocean views or balcony views are worth it? I want to take an elderly parent, so i want it to be relaxing, not too overly crowded, chill next to ocean view somewhere less windy/shaded while sipping on drinks, going for walks, fine dining, less busy hot tub with an ocean view, etc. Sanctuary looks like the place to be. Would I be able to reserve a spot there in advance for every day?
@StefanUrkel First off, thanks for watching our video. The type of view you get will depend on they cruise you're planning. If you enjoy private scenery watching or eating meals in your cabin, we suggest a balcony. But if you are going to be in a hot or cold climate, you may not get much use out of it. Ocean view cabins tend to have a bed in front of or near the window, so you may not be able to just sit and enjoy the view. We tend to aim for interior cabins purely for the lower price. Mid-ship lower level cabins tend to experience less ship movement if you are prone to motion sickness. The Sanctuary is a nice shady spot to relax, but there is a fee. I do not know if you pay for the entire length of the cruise or daily. Check with Princess on that one. The Lotus pool and hot tubs one level down from the Sanctuary never seemed to be busy. They are free to use and can be accessed via the spa or deck 17. We stayed on deck 14 and could walk to the Terrace pool in the aft. It is supposed to be for adults only. There will be some walking involved no matter where your cabin is located. Be sure to consult the deck plan when choosing your cabin. Find one near, but not next to, an elevator to cut down on the stairs and walking distance.
@@aubandsteve Thanks a lot for the extra information! This will be very helpful.
@@StefanUrkelHappy to help. Have a great time on your cruise.
@@StefanUrkel Yes, balcony views is really worth it, fresh breeze at night, quiet time with your partner on the private balcony, indeed, so peaceful. It is the only way to go in my book.
Great video, we love Bimini! Bimini has some beautiful beaches. We snorkeled the Sapona on our last visit and it was awesome. This looks like a great excursion! Thanks for sharing.
We had a great time. Wish we could have stayed out there longer. Snorkeling sounds fun. We'll have to give that a try the next time we are in Bimini. Happy cruising!
Nicely laid out tour and well documented! Considering a cruise the end of the year to see the Canal and the Emerald seems to do it in style. I've been on her sister, the Ruby Princess as my first cruise and this is totally different from what I remember, but that was a long time ago, well before any refits. 🙂
We are happy you found us and that you enjoyed our video. We also have a tour of the Ruby Princess from earlier this year. They were very similar. Just a few cosmetic differences, most noticeably the buffet areas. Emerald had been updated with the bbq restaurant also. We would love to cruise again on either ship.
My wife and older son are there now
@@kennyc1101 Hope they're having a great time.
Oh they sure are! They left Tue and be back in a week. I didn't want to go and i said i will take care of our three year old. @aubandsteve @@aubandsteve
This video was very well done. Nice job 😊
Thank you so much. We're happy you enjoyed it.
Amazing tour thank you. We board this ship on Tuesday 🎉
Thanks! Have a great time.
Horrible ahip. Needa a major revamp in the common areas and the food is gross.
This ship is showing her age. She was built in 2007 and last refurbished in 2019. The cabins are definitely due for a makeover.
Great cabin tour, looks great. Hi we are new to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos 👏
Thank you! We are so glad you've subscribed to our channel. We will try to add more content as we go on more cruises.
@@aubandsteve Happy Cruising 🛳️❤️🥂
This is a awesome video, great flow and no bull!@#$ narrated LOL People must be sleeping it off, hardly anyone out at 730am, even in the buffett. And also must be a sea day. Thanks What other cruise lines do you video
Thanks! We're glad you liked the video. We have three other ship tours without narration. HAL Nieuw Amsterdam, Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas, and Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady. Most of the footage is taken very early in the morning and/or in port to avoid the crowds and to not annoy anyone.
@@aubandsteve well I need a video of ICON before I go in Feb 2025 :o) LOL and short but UTOPIA b4 this Sept :o)
Am interested to work
If you're interested in working on this or any cruise ship, you can apply by going to their web page. They occasionally have job fairs around the world. Good luck!
Nice presentation 👏
Thank you 🙂
Wow! Great video! We will be on the Emerald in 6 days!
Thanks so much! Have a great time. Please give it a thumbs up and subscribe, if you haven't already.
I will be on the same cruise! Hope they still have the cigar lounge! Heard it may be going to an arcade
@ryanmayfield8186 Be sure to let us know. On the Ruby, it is an arcade now.
We’re sailing on her out of Quebec City at the end of September.
That sounds amazing. We did a 7 day round-trip from New York up to Canada. Would love to cruise to Quebec City sometime. Have a great time!
¡Qué buen video! ¡Felicidades!
Thank you so much.
Great video! This helps for my trip on the Emerald in a couple of months/
That is kind of you to say. Thank you. We hope you have a great cruise. Our favorite area to relax was on decks 15 and 16 aft. Wasn't too busy, and the pool was adults only.
Just a quick question? is sabistinies or Planks open for lunch on emerald princess?
Both Sabatini's and Planks BBQ were only open for dinner. Planks alternated evenings with Steamers as they both occupied a portion of the buffet area. Hope this helps.
Great explanation, makes it seem so simple. I'm buying one!
Fantastic! You will have a great time with it.
I'm so happy to find this video! Cruising on this ship in November! Subscribed to your channel for more content. 🫶
Hopefully you found the video helpful and informative. Have a great time on your cruise!
Nice ship, Thank you for sharing video of beautiful ship. I love it. I hope to go on her or on her older sister ships.
Thank you. We enjoyed it very much. Hope you cruise on her soon. We've been on the Ruby Princess also. They are nearly identical.
@@aubandsteve I thought that Ruby Princess don't have indoor swimming pool?
You are correct. Neither the Emerald nor the Ruby have indoor pools. A couple have covered seating, but the pools are all exposed.
Estive nesse navio no início de março deste ano. É simplesmente maravilhoso ❤

Thank you the video. Did this come with free room service?
Thanks for watching. We booked a Bella cabin. At this level only the continental breakfast was included, but with a delivery fee. At other levels like Fantastica you get breakfast with no delivery fee, but pay for food and delivery for all other room service. Aurea level gets you no delivery fee all room services, but you still pay for all food except breakfast. Yacht Club may have included room service, I'm not sure. Very confusing, I know. Best to check the MSC web site or call their customer service and ask to be certain. Happy cruising!
