  • I recently took the Cheapest Cruise I could find in my country of the United States. The cruise was on Carnival Cruise Lines Oldest Ship The Carnival Paradise. Unfortunately I had to deal with a little drama like a fight with and old man and being told that I don’t like Black People.

      It's really kind of easy Basically if you're a cranky agitated person on the cruise chances are you're a cranky agitated person in reality off the cruise so if you do you then you're not an agitated person and you know how to just chill and relax you'd have a great time.
      That being said , I have had to beat the brakes off somebody once or twice on the top deck . What kind of a foreigner is going to expect to run their mouth to a teenager from New York City and not Catch hands.
      #Internationalwhoopin
      Again we were teenagers and he probably said something like I'll beat the s*** out of you.
      That was 20 years ago 2022 people probably have the right state of mind to not tell someone they're going to beat the s*** out of them.
      I would hope.
      But it's Honestly was always a good time until covid but I stopped going on cruises in like 04,
      So I don't have a good perspective on what the passengers are like these days

      People say that because of your dialect. My hubs family is very Southern I have a hard time understanding them. My hub sounds nothing like them but he was raised with them. He told me at a young age he would mimic actors on TV. Usually, because of surrounding factors, such as community, African Americans tend to replace "er" with "a". Also "st" with "sk", etc... For example, an "older" man sounds like "olda" man "street" sounds like "skreet. This is the same for people from area Boston. They clearly have a distinct dialect. You recognize that a person is from Boston based on their word pattern and dialect. Unfortunately, people equate your dialect as "sounding white" and not wanting to be black. I am from the midwest and my grandfather was a professor so my dialect is very sharp. I pronounce all vowels and consonants because that is how I was taught to speak. I mimicked my family's speech and even though I am black, I am told I sound white. Silly but I refuse to change how I speak to make people comfortable.

      I’m the only one that is going to talk about your “shoilet”. Not an RVer are you? No big deal. In the RV business what you were looking at is called a wet bath. You see these on in-bed truck campers, very small trailers, like Airstream Bambis, Class B camper vans, and the folks that do #vanlife and have either built a travel van or have purchased a bespoke camper van. Total toilet in the shower situation. So the opposite of that is called a dry bath, but you don’t usually hear that language when looking at RVs, you don’t usually hear of the dry bath reference unless the rig you are getting would not normally have a dry bath, like a truck camper, then it is a feature. I’m going to have to keep “shoilet” in my back pocket when I talk with my RV friends.

    It was so nice running into you on this cruise! You are such a kind and approachable person. I have been on Paradise and Pride (all out of Tampa) many many times! Unfortunately I saw some bad behavior as well, and I think you hit the nail on the head! They are cheap cruises attracting those who have never cruised, and / or people that don't have the ability to travel much or at all. It sort of reminds me of the "SPRING BREAK" mentality,...The feeling of being let out of the cage for the first time. But I will say, for myself the ship Pride out of Tampa was the ship I took my first cruise on, and where I feel in LOVE with cruising. We picked a cheap short cruise because we thought we would hate it. So with that said the cheaper smaller cruises do serve a bigger purpose. All we have ever cruised on is Carnival, we will be on Mardi Gras in Jan, however I'm going to take your advice and try another cruise line,....any thoughts as to what line and ship out of Tampa.

The food in the buffet wasn’t great but the burgers, pizza, and bbq place were decent. The Dinning room dining was pretty good. Now the thing I was impressed with was there was a ton of stuff to do. All the activities… there was games, trivia, meetups, shopping sales, a cooking class, comedians, and etc. Theres plenty to do. We booked another trip for next year 👍🏻

By the way it isn't the oldest ship from Carnival, the oldest is Carnival Sunshine. Sunshine was built in 1996. I love the destinations of the Cayman Islands and Cozumel. Paradise was built in 1998 and refurbished in 2018.

    The one thing I dislike about Carnival is their announcements. Not so much that they have so many, but the fact that you hear the chimes to let you know one is coming, and then you have jump up off of your bed/couch/balcony and run over and open your stateroom door to hear it in the hallway. I know some people are against them making the announcements directly into your room, but I would actually prefer it.

    Your review of the carnival paradise ship was very informative for me personally. My first time on carnival will be the paradise out of Tampa in February and your review was very helpful. The little things like getting on board the ship was what I needed to see. Your other comments about the rudeness and then the other extreme of the friendliness is a cross-section of people in general, sadly. Some people just like drama. Overall I think most people are good at heart. I do like your reviews of your cruising experiences. They are informative and help me to navigate around the cruising experience. Knowing what to expect helps to make the cruise time more efficient. I know what to avoid and what to seek out for fun and entertainment but also for relaxation because of your review.

    Ayyy Justin! UA-cam just recommended this to me, we met years ago and were breakdancing in a hotel bar in Jersey after you wrapped up a globetrotters game and the wedding we were all at was over.
    Good to see you’re doing well man!

    Jay I love your channel & I'm not even a cruise person 😄 I've been on one cruise in my lifetime @ age 67 yo...12 years ago. The only 2 cruises I plan to do in the future is a Hawaiian & Alaskan. I will be done after that 🤣 I do pass on info from your channel to friends & family who love to cruise 😉

    That’s cool about john and sue! My wife and I have always had a pretty good time on cruises and tend to keep ourselves. Gosh the folks who caused those negative experiences… Completely agree with out. Everyone is treated the same and I dont care what color your skin is. That is literally the oldest thing in the book… like it’s friking 2022… those folks gotta get over themselves.
    Enjoy your content! Thanks for everything!

    First and only cruise I ever took was on a Princess Cruise with my family in 2015. My grandmother and grandfather used to take cruises all the time through the 80’s and 90’s. Then after my grandfather passed in 2008, my mom and dad would take my grandma on cruises. The cruise I went on took us go Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel. Was a lot of fun both onboard and off. So when I hear about people not having fun on cruises, it does bum me out and makes me hesitant to go on future cruises. But I’m glad to see you never let the bad stuff get you down.

    People who see every single aspect of life... Every minute of every day... Through the lens of color, are setting themselves up for disappointment and anger. Why do that to yourself? If you have convinced yourself that the sky is green and the grass is blue... That's how you're going to see everything. Sad way to live.

    I hope you keep doing you! Ignore those negative people. I recently just got up the nerve to approach another UA-camr on a recent sailing. I hope to meet you sometime on a cruise. Both me and my husband love hearing what you have to say. It was interesting to hear what you said about the Carnival Chat. I was recently on Royal and used that feature for the first time. It was I believe $1.99 a day! I did not like that if you were sent a message it did not ding or vibrate. You would always have to be checking to see if the other people sent you a message and it actually caused some problems. Keep up the good work and be you!

    Hey there J. I want to thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching them. I would say your main cruise lines are Carnival, NCL and Virging just by the videos you post. I been on 1 Carnival cruise and it was a cruise from hell. Carnival cruise lines, at the time and after when we got home did nothing to make things better for us. My wife even sent a email to the president of Carnival to no avail. We are now Celebrity cruisers and enjoy every one we have been on with not a single issue. I am just curious if you have ever been on a Celebrity cruise and what your thought are on this cruise line. Thanks for your info and keep up the great videos. Cheers
