Enjoying your trip as if it is my trip! Don’t mind your delay in posting at all as you should enjoy your (my!) trip to the fullest! Editing takes time and is work! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! Your Ultimate World Cruise channel is my favorite! Glad you are having fun!
Iam 73 years old love to travel but take care of my 93 year old mother. Love to seen your videos. I am having so much fun going in my imaginary trip with both of you. Was sad that you missed Machupichu.
Costa Rican viewer here-I’m so happy you guys enjoyed your time! It’s always beautiful to see your own country through the lens of new travelers 🥰 I’ve been following along your entire journey and plan on continuing to do so! Safe travels! 🤍
Guanacaste has it all. Remote beaches. Amazing wildlife literally outside your window. Whales with their young. Take trips booked with the locals. Our white water rafting was amazing. Just my daughter and I with a local guide. They share their homes and you see the real beauty. I've been to both coasts. Northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica is definitely more diverse. We had a 13 hour flight from UK but still rebooked to go back 2 years later. So much to see. 😍😍
OMG for the bus situation! As someone that gets heat stroke, I'm so glad you had water and were able to open the window! I'm so sorry to hear that someone on the tour wasn't feeling well. It sounds like it was definitely not a tour for everyone. I have to say, I love the little nature segments that you're doing with the music behind, beautiful and relaxing! I had a busy couple of weeks, so I'm finally getting to watch this and that part was like a breath of fresh air! Thank you, as usual for sharing and hope you're enjoying your sea days on your way to Indonesia!
Thanks so much glad you enjoy it. Actually while I'm answering this we're just waiting to get off the ship in lombok indonesia. We can't wait we're going snorkeling
I have figured out another reason why I love your videos. I’m always busy busy and don’t have time to just “sit” and watch, so your verbal explanations of everything you see and do is perfect for me! I look forward with anticipation for each of your videos and I understand the delay and don’t begrudge you for it at all! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!
Us as well, that's certainly a come back place. We had a wonderful day. The biggest thing with our cruise is we get such a short time in each place. But that just makes it even better to come back
Good morning Mike and Nancy, always look forward to your vlogs while drinking my coffee, getting ready for work. Costa Rica looks fabulous, love you energy!!! Keep the vlogs coming!👏👏👏👏👏Flowers for Nancy!💐 Excellent historical narrative!👍Big hugs and stay safe.🫂👏👏👏👏❤️🙏
The bus should have water for you. Most excursions have it. Glad you are okay. We come from the heat so we understand. Make sure you put some electrolytes in your water. It is something we always have on trips. Keep having fun.
Hallo Mike and Nancy, thank you so much for sharing your Ultimate World Cruise with all of us viewers online! 😊 Me and my wife (mid 50s) are from Sweden and have been cruising with both RCCL and Celebrity for 20 years now. We would have loved to be on this fantastic cruise but since we are both still working it was not possible at this time. Therefore we are very grateful that you share your experience and give us a lite insight of this world cruise. We very much appreciate both your nice videos and photos but also your stories and honest opinions of all your experiences from the ports and the cruise. We really hope that RCCL or Celebrity decides to do another World Cruise in 2-4 years and then we will definitely go. Please continue posting new videos and we wish you a contiuned wonderful cruise. Best regards from Sweden!
Thank you so much for following along on our journey. There are rumors that Royal may do another world cruise in a couple of years. Again, that’s the rumor mill.
We have spent a lot of time in Costa Rica. One of our favorite places! Lots of things to do in different parts of the country. I tend to suffer from heat stroke and have found I need to take the small packets of electrolytes to add to those bottles of water. The cassada reminded me of the many we have enjoyed in those open air cantinas.
Hi Nancy, I also collect Christmas ornaments from my travels and got my Costa Rica one at El Jardín 😊. I am enjoying your videos so much. Keep having fun and making memories.
Great video as always. Costa Rica looks amazing, although I would never do a croc tour. They are one of my biggest fears. ❤your favourite Aussie follower 🦘
Your video brings back wonderful memories of our tour of Costa Rica last November. Worth the 12hour flight from the Uk. Saw so much wildlife including the sloth. Enjoying your videos very much.
What a lovely country! I would have enjoyed that crocodile man tour as well. It looked like you so a lot of birds! I really enjoy your channel so much. It makes me want to get out there and travel more. Be well the 2 of you. You're doing great!
Beautiful videos!! I went to Costa Rica land only in 2017 to Tamarindo Beach, Monte Verde Cloud Forest and Arano Volcano lake. I also did a shore excursion off of a Panama Canal Cruise in Punta Arenas. Went to a spanish dresage stable and arena to see the wonderful horses and spanish riders. Great country!!
That was a great video, beautiful country! I usually have a cup that keeps things hot or cold, and have ice cubes, small washcloth plus a few bottles of water when I know I’ll be in the heat and humidity. I’m one that knows my body and tries to be prepared too! Glad the lady recovered and was able to rejoin the fun activities! Thanks for sharing
Finally caught up! Oh my goodness you’re making all my wheels spin for traveling plans with my family and long terms goals for bucket list adventures with my hubby. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You’ve probably heard it hundreds of times but you are both just wonderful. Your kindness and enthusiasm and overall positive attitudes are truly amazing. Thanks for all your dedication to these videos and sharing your experience. It’s a journey of a lifetime and we’re all living vicariously through you for sure! PS - blue is your color - you both look fantastic in those shirts. Love your earrings Nancy! Did you buy those while on the cruise?
We did a cruise a few years ago that took us to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. It was so dirty and poverty stricken. We took a tour out to a banana plantation and a river cruise where we saw sloths in the trees. That part was nice, but the port itself on the Caribbean side was, well, awful ... and sad.
We just returned from a Panama Canal Cruise with a stop in Puntarenas. I managed to spend a few $$$$ at El Jardin. 😊 We had a great time, the country is beautiful and we met some nice people. But that heat!!!! Although it wasn’t as bad as Colombia or Panama is was still unbearable for this Los Angeles native. 😅
I am eagerly awaiting the "Day in the Life on Passage" vlog. Please show us the gym, what equipment they have, and the class schedule. The Royal Caribbean website does not provide details.
Thank you. We started one but sometimes it’s hard to get certain areas because there’s so many people and we don’t want to be intrusive. We’ll get one out I promise.
We just got back from our cruise and stopped at Puerto Limon on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. The scenery there was beautiful and so different from the Pacific side where you were! We are definitely considering a land trip to Costa Rica so we can experience more of that beautiful country and the amazing, friendly people who live there! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
An odd thought of mine is, when did these places start doing tours. Like who was the first person to say "I'll give you some money if you cart me around the village and tell me your history".
Your bus in Costa Rica looked fairly new. Just wondering, did anyone ask the driver/guide to turn on the AC? If I were in your place, I would have been super bitchy in that hot bus. Since I’m a wimp with temps, I would avoid that tour like the plague.
Primarily use my Samsung s23 ultra cell phone. We also use a DJi action 4 for some watershots. We also will use some shots from Nancy's iPhone 15. Thanks for watching
Loving your content! You both are so strong! I would never have survived that tour with no air conditioning. I am susceptible to heat exhaustion. 🥵 Did they apologize about the lack of air??
We have one planned, and part of it is shot. The hard part is finding places and times that are not too busy. We don't want to disturb other passengers. So stay tuned. 😀
We tip what we feel is appropriate for the length of time of the excursion. It also depends on the country. Some countries do not have a tipping culture.
@livingphase2 ..thank you..I agree but I should have been more specific. Do you tip in US dollars, local currency, which might be difficult due to the scope of your travels, or on CC..which might mean deciding on an amount prior to the excursion.
Why so far behind on posting videos? Your ship is at the end of it's Australia leg and you are just posting Costa Rica. You had a shout out from Tony at La Lido Loca early in your trip that shot your subscriptions into the 10;s of thousands. An opportunity to grow your channel quickly that you have not taken advantage of. It's a shame.
This UA-cam channel is a passion project of ours, but we will never let it interfere with our time on the world cruise. I do appreciate an understand you wanting us be up-to-date with our videos but unfortunately for us, that’s just not going to happen. We do appreciate you watching though.
Enjoying your trip as if it is my trip! Don’t mind your delay in posting at all as you should enjoy your (my!) trip to the fullest! Editing takes time and is work! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! Your Ultimate World Cruise channel is my favorite! Glad you are having fun!

Iam 73 years old love to travel but take care of my 93 year old mother.
Love to seen your videos.
I am having so much fun going in my imaginary trip with both of you.
Was sad that you missed Machupichu.
Thanks so much for following along. Missing Machu Picchu gives us an excuse to go back.

@@livingphase2 Have a fantastic time! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Costa Rica was beautiful. I zipped line through the jungle when I went. It was quite an experience.
Oh, that would be so much fun!

Thanks so much for following along in our journey.
I also had traveled to Costa Rica and it is a beautiful country with beautiful friendly people!
I am glad you finally had a chance to visit it. 🌺
We loved it and hoped to come back.
Love your matching blue shirts…. Love the earrings!
Thank you!!
The dessert looked yummy. Worth the trip to Costa Rica just for that!
It was!
The little wedding chapel was beautiful ! Thanks for keeping us posted ! Have fun !
Thanks so much for following along on our journey.
Costa Rica is on our list. Thanks for a nice overview.
Us as well, that's certainly a come back place. We had a wonderful day. The biggest thing with our cruise is we get such a short time in each place. But that just makes it even better to come back

Thanks so much for the tips. And yes, many excursions have water, but not all. We always try to grab a couple of bottles before we leave the ship.

World cruises have been around for a long time, and I think there's at least one offered most years. Hope you're able to have an amazing adventure!
Thank you so much for following along on our journey. There are rumors that Royal may do another world cruise in a couple of years. Again, that’s the rumor mill.
My husband wants to visit Costa Rica. I have never been interested until now! Thank you for all the information and great video!
Thanks so much for following along in our journey. Costa Rica was wonderful.
I really appreciate you sharing this trip with us - you are obviously enjoying every bit of this adventure.
We truly are. Thanks so much.

Enjoying following along...
YOUR channel YOUR way!!
Happy cruising Both 🎉
Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for your kind words, and thank you for following along on our journey.
Thank you for taking us along , really enjoying the trip.. perhaps please slow down your panning shots, it’s hard to take it in at those speeds.
Thank you for the feedback. Will work on that. Sometimes we just get really excited.
Great vlog. There is literally sweat dripping off the tour guides arm while he is holding the map.
Yes! It was very hot that day.
Beautiful videos!! I went to Costa Rica land only in 2017 to Tamarindo Beach, Monte Verde Cloud Forest and Arano Volcano lake. I also did a shore excursion off of a Panama Canal Cruise in Punta Arenas. Went to a spanish dresage stable and arena to see the wonderful horses and spanish riders. Great country!!
Thanks so much!
Very interesting tour but I would never have made it with no a/c on the bus and then walking over the bridges.
Yes, the air conditioning or lack of was a problem. But there’s always plenty of other things to do than walking over the bridges.😀
We were there several years ago was beautiful. Want to go back some day.
We thought it was so beautiful.
These blue colors look beautiful on you!
Thank you so much
Thanks 🌟🥂🌟
You’re welcome 😊
Keep the videos coming, so enjoying following your trip don’t mind the delay as your filming is so good and clear
Thanks so much!
That was a great video, beautiful country! I usually have a cup that keeps things hot or cold, and have ice cubes, small washcloth plus a few bottles of water when I know I’ll be in the heat and humidity. I’m one that knows my body and tries to be prepared too! Glad the lady recovered and was able to rejoin the fun activities! Thanks for sharing

Thanks so much for all your kind words. We appreciate you. And know the earrings I bought before going on the cruise.😀
Hello Mike and Nancy really enjoying your vlogs keep up the great work and plz send my regards to Joff the CD. Darren and Sandra 🇬🇧
Oh we absolutely will. We see him most evenings.
Thanks for a great video. The bridges look like fun, but boating with the crocodiles would not be my cup of tea. Stay safe.
Yes, the crocodiles were a little creepy but we felt safe on the boat.
Loving following along with your adventures thanks so much for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!

There certainly are sad places all throughout the world. I understand.
Fantastic video 👍
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije
Nancy- love your blue top and earring ❤️
That dessert looked yummy😊 Beautiful scenery!
Thanks so much
Thank you again for another great video!
Glad you like them!
Costa Rica looks fantastic. Watching your great content is expanding my bucket list! Thanks and cheers 🥂
Thanks so much for watching.
Can’t wait for the next video!
Thank you!
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Lots of Fun Enjoy and Stay Safe All Ways All
God Bless🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks 👍
We just returned from a Panama Canal Cruise with a stop in Puntarenas.
I managed to spend a few $$$$ at El Jardin. 😊
We had a great time, the country is beautiful and we met some nice people. But that heat!!!!
Although it wasn’t as bad as Colombia or Panama is was still unbearable for this Los Angeles native. 😅
Oh we understand. There have been some places where the heat has been almost unbearable as well.
Makes me nervous just watching the tour. Not an excursion for me.
Yep that one's not for everyone. 😀
I am eagerly awaiting the "Day in the Life on Passage" vlog. Please show us the gym, what equipment they have, and the class schedule. The Royal Caribbean website does not provide details.

Thank you for following along. Costa Rica is definitely a place we want to come back to.
LOL i hate those swinging bridges..lol.Ever since a date at Disneyland went nuts on the one there! Id probably do it though because its so beautiful!!
I got lightheaded just watching. Once in a lifetime so I'd do it but I'd also be terrified the entire time.
Nancy here, I really thought they were a lot of fun.😉
An odd thought of mine is, when did these places start doing tours. Like who was the first person to say "I'll give you some money if you cart me around the village and tell me your history".
You know, that is a really good question!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing

Oh, yes. He was trying to turn on the air conditioner, but it just wasn’t working properly.
Beautiful pictures and video. What type of camera do you use

Yes, they did apologize.😉
I am terrified of heights but somehow I made it
Great job!
Can we have a ship tour please
We have one planned, and part of it is shot. The hard part is finding places and times that are not too busy. We don't want to disturb other passengers. So stay tuned. 😀
@@livingphase2 ok thank you. Is Joff the CD for every leg of the world cruise?
Curious how you tip guides?
We tip what we feel is appropriate for the length of time of the excursion. It also depends on the country. Some countries do not have a tipping culture.
