It’s the oldest ship
Hi! My Wife is wondering if you can tell us the brand of the dress your Wife is wearing in this video? She thinks it’s beautiful. Thanks! Oh, sorry the black and white pattern dress.
Wonderful narrations . Your voice is very nice lol
Because it’s an Italian ship, the “Italian food“ is part of the buffet and MDR experience - they make fresh pasta and fresh mozzarella every day. The Italian coffee service is high-quality and available as part of the beverage package at every bar on the ship - Each bar has a large, full service coffee/espresso machine. Free, soft serve ice cream is available at the main pool, but it’s not self-serve. I hope on your future sailings, you discover these amenities that you seem to have missed on your first trip.
we sailed on the beyond in sept it was an amazing experience .well worth the journey from the UK. we hope to sail again in a couple of Year .
Thanks for the tour. Now, let me say something about this class of ship and "class" is the operative word. It's not that I'm saying the ship has class. It has classes. The Retreat is a class of ship within a ship that makes for some controversy. Some of the ship is just not available to non-suite passengers and it is a lot of the precious front real estate of the interior public area and deck spaces. That's for Retreat guests. You say it doesn't have bumper cars and such. True. But it also doesn't have any real quiet spots. No library, no observation lounge (because the suite passengers get that space for their own upscale restaurant), no card room, no one-level or intimate lounge spaces. This is the Edge class. This is not the Solstice class that has all of what the Edge doesn't have. However, the Solstice doesn't have Eden or the theater's tech and has one big dining room where the Edge ships have 4 smaller ones. I also noticed your infinite veranda cabin showed a limited view so some people may not want that. Overall, read the reviews and not for subjective views on the ship's aesthetics and food and service. But more for how it fits how you use a ship. There are a lot of new ships out. But personally, I don't think newer is necessarily better. And I prefer the Solstice class by a big margin.
Unbelievable ship but way to much. Like drinking Florida sweet tea. I like plain tea.
Hey bro. Hope you are doing well these days.
Very nice, kind of like old school style cruises. I very much enjoy your videos and they’re very informative and helpful
I'm Diamond on Royal, but Celebrity has converted us. Our cruises were on the Equinox and the Beyond.
i have taken that train. it is a nice product kinda spendy though.
"... surprisingly, there is no Italian restaurant on this Italian ship!" This is hilarious too!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for a very informative video! We're sailing last week in October 2024. I've been watching so many videos but yours is definitely one of the best! Clear, concise, to the point. By the way, we're "one of those people" but just for the jogging track, which we normally walk every morning on 'other' cruises. No jogging needed. 😆
An excellent, honest, and very informative review. I will be on the Magic September 1st. I guess I'm kind of a snob, because I don't tolerate lines. So I guess I'll do the specialty dining every night.
I absolutely love your videos.! So informative. I have Subscribed, Looking forward to another video soon.
I like meeting people in the card room. I 've been on brilliance to Alaska and will soon be boarding for a Panama cruise. Like any size ship, jusy getting yo cruise Royal loyal is fun. Keep inspiring.
😮😮😢😮😢😮😮😮😮😅😅😮😢😅😅😅😮
What a great review Don and Kathleen! There have been quite a few negative reviews posted, so it's nice to see a completely different approach and opinion. Very informative and comprehensive! Lovely touch to add the towel art instructions at the end!
Was introduced to the cruise line after hearing about their Military promotion. This video was just what I needed to convince myself to book my next cruise. Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks, great presentation!!!! 👍
WOW, thank you so much awesome contents. Yes you have won me as a new subscriber. Your content was so detailed impressive as well the bonus featuring how to make towel animals I have never seen anyone do it like you and the first lady. Stay well bless thank you again. Until next time 😊🌻🙏🏽
Thank you for your kind words.
All about the food and fun...and it looks like you've got both going on there!! Excellent!!
I am a new subscriber, this is a great video. My wife and I sailed the Islander on July 7th, it was a great cruise and the ship is beautiful. Your review to me is spot on.
Going at the end of august and was looking for a review. Thanks! Looking even more forward to it now!
she is a wonderful little girl <3 can't wait to go on her again in December!
We look forward to doing it again too.
This was the best tour and review video I've seen so far! Well done.
Ahhh, thanks.
That sounds like a wonderful ship.
Its about time you both took a cruise.
I Loved the paradise. Went in april.😊
Love Branson Missouri. Sight and sound theatre is amazing and the Golf Cart tour at top of the Rock.
Definitely not a fan of MSC. Once was enough for me. The ships are beautiful. The food is not the greatest, and they may have low pricing up front, however, they nickel and dime you everywhere they can. I'll pay more and get what I love.
This is a great video! I really like the tips you shared. I'm going to try them out on my next cruise. I'm especially interested in the tips about packing for a cruise. I'm going to try to pack light and efficiently, and I'm going to bring a refillable water bottle. I'm also going to try to avoid overpacking, and I'm going to make sure to pack comfortable shoes. New Sub! 👍👍
Thank you for your feedback. Here is a video I made back during the pandemic. There might be helpful information in it. Have fun! ua-cam.com/video/NR5o4koryms/v-deo.html
Great review. We are the same. my wife and I racked up tons of points during the pandemic on Royal Caribbean when they were offering double points. No crowdsand the ship to our selves. Covid ended, and there are people everywhere. Your suggestions are spot on as to avoid the crowds, be flexible, cruising the off-season and cruise on slightly older ships. Great review I love listening to you guys keep up the great work.
Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like we are kindred hearts. Are you in Florida?
Great I’m going on the Seascape
Have fun! We love the Seascape. It's different from the main lines but we love it.
Best burgers I've had
I really enjoyed your video. I loved the attention to detail and I even appreciated the stats provided at the very beginning. What a beautiful ship!! I am ready to see the MSC Meraviglia in person. Thanks for sharing!! 😎
We’ve had my time dining and have asked for the same wait staff. All we had to do was show up at a set time & go to our table.
You have weigh how many of the toys you'd actually use on newest ship like CON of the Sea's compared to Brilliance. Then too there's economics New Years cruise in a suite on Brilliance $4,000.00 New Years on the CON(of seas) in an aft balcony $27.000.00 . Thanks for the tour.
Well made video. Thanks!
Excellent
awesome video!! Thanks
Thx for this..Will be on her Aug 2024..can't wait to be on a smaller ship...
Great video thank you!! I really enjoyed coco cay!
First ship we ever went on was the Brilliance sister ship Radiance. We thought it was beautiful. Still do. Many cruises later we recently went on the Brilliance. Little tired but they are still great ships with a great old world charm that is somewhat lacking on the newer bigger ships. Love the use of timberwork and a club like atmosphere. Having said all that the newer ships do have a bit more space, amenities, options, food choices and a decent size shopping area so there's benefits both ways.
Thank you! Ill be on the Magic in June.
Awesome videos, looking forward to our first MSC cruise
I would like to have seen how obstructed their cabin was!
Carnival's theater shows have gone downhill over the last few years. They're basically just a few singers and dancers performing in front of a video scree.
I really appreciate your review and thank you for that, however how can you complain about the pizza being the same day in and day out? Pizza is pizza it does not change from day to day and the only difference this New Yorker finds is the quality. Are you even qualified to judge New York or Italian pizza which are made similarly Please acknowledge your foreign tastes from now forward. I takes one to know one and you are clearly not even close to the qualifications a decent pizza pie. Stick to what you can comment on unequivocally.
Going on the magic in August. I can’t wait. This will be my first ever cruise.
Did you enjoy it? I go on the Magic in a couple days!!
Nice video we are going on that ship in March 2024. Of all the videos ive watched i wish i could see rooms on the 5th level to see what they look like
