Cruise tip for you love. Royal Caribbean has a service for the last day where they will take your luggage to the airport for you. It cost about 25 -30 bucks. But once you fill out the form (they either place it in your room, or you can get it from guest services) with your flight information, all you do is board your transfer bus, head to your flight, and your luggage is at baggage claim at your destination. I hope it still exists cause it is a godsend, particularly with kids or elderly relatives.
@@karateday nah I’m taking my own luggage to the airport. After paying for a cruise and flight. I was good but thanks. It was in the shuttle my luggage has wheels…I was good.
I am so happy that you were able to make the best out of the trip! I think the word you were looking for is “narcissist” and no queen should have to be subject to that behavior. I’m only 52 minutes into the video but I wanted to give you your props, your flowers, your gold medal because you handled that!
Katrina I must say my favorite part of your entire trip was your persistence to enjoy yourself despite everything that happened. I know I don't know you personally but it made me proud of you. I truly love your spirit. But I must give an honorable mention of the zip lining 😂 I absolutely loved watching the zip lining bit, you are so brave, I can't wait to see more of that video. Keep pressing on my love and never forget you deserve all GOOD things ❤
@@ShroneJohnsontotally agree with everything you said. That zip lining adventure was everything. She’s definitely a trooper. Toooooo many steps for me but she preserved. Love love love her energy.
New subscriber and love your content and energy. Girl I’ve been patiently waiting on Part 2. Kudos to you for making the best of your trip in spite of the circumstances. Black Girl Magic💥💥
I'm glad you pushed through being single and enjoyed your cruise that you paid for. The best part of this trip for me is seeing you enjoying excursions/Adventure, you deserve it.
Katrina I absolutely adore you. As a fellow Brooklynite I totally get you. A few things I wanna say. 1st… omg I was almost in tears for you when you told about what happened. My heart broke for you because you didn’t deserve it AND I was so angry for you. Like what!!? Where he at? 🤛 2nd… yeah a rat is a rat. 3. That zip lining looked like sooo much fun!! I’m so happy you ended on a good note. With a smile and lots of fun. Next time take me with you and we can be adventurous together! Lolol 😂
OMG, this guy is truly a riot!!!! However, you made the best of the situation. I travel solo 95% of the time. I went on 18 day cruise. A friend went, but we had separate cabins. I cant share spaces PEACE IS EVERYTHING!!
So so so glad for you that you continued to have an awesome time. It truly is a choice. That just shows who you are. Unfortunately I have a similar BD with similar bum behavior. My son has certain special needs and I have always carried the full responsibility of everything. But now my son is 17 and is thriving! I wish I could tell you things got better between me and my son’s dad (we haven’t been together on well over 16 years) but he is who he is. I pray that God continues to provide you everything you need and more. I felt moved to share it with you as another strong dedicated mother. Stay encouraged sis you are golden and glowing! No man can dim what God has anointed and blessed!
Thank you so much. So glad to hear your son is thriving. That is a blessing. I know Kayden will too we had a huge family gathering over the weekend and he did so well. Everyone was proud of him. It’s the little things for me. But I know God has greater in store for us
Girl you did great for someone who went through what you did! Solo traveling is better, to me, cause your on your own time..learning yourself more and what you like NOW as apposed to 20 years ago. I hope all is well baby girl and if you need a travel partner I will be going on my first cruise in March 2024. Hopefully ICON of the Sea...wish you the best hope to see you in March🎉🎉🎉🎉
Go Katrina, I am inspired by your spirit. You seem to be a person that is comfortable in your skin. You are not allowing anyone to disturb your peace or your joy. I am learning to do that at 50+
It definitely boat easy because ai wear my emotions on my sleeve. I think the wilder we get and the more we mature we learn to shake off all the negative and keep pushing forward. Thank you 🙏🏽
My husband and I will look for John when our cruise stops in Rotan next year. The fact that he looked out for you solo means allot. So glad that you were able to enjoy the rest of your cruise drama free.
I just found you the other day and looked forward to Part 2. I really enjoyed everything and you have such a lovely way about you. Sorry you had to deal with the drama but glad you made the best of it. You are a class act. I look forward to your next video 😊
First timer here, glad I stumbled across your video. Me and my mom are going on Carnival Jubilee in August and we will going to these places so I definitely want to find John. Thanks and I'm glad you had fun despite of...
I watched both vlogs and really enjoyed them. And I’m glad you were blessed to bounce back from that very unfortunate situation. Can’t wait to see more of your vlogs!! You’re so beautiful and have a positive energy that I really enjoy!
Great videos! I am a Royal Loyal so I love their ships. I appreciate that you did all the "things" lol. And the blessing in the storm is that NOW you know that YOU can travel alone and have a great time! If you venture over to NCL they have great solo cabins and a singles lounge. Glad you still had a great time. Best of everything to you and your son.
@@cyd282 thank you so much and yes ai will do some solo travel but my sister is going on the next cruise for the first time. I’m royal loyal but checking out the new carnival ships for a review for my birthday.
Hi Katrina, enjoyed both videos looking forward to the next ones. Glad you enjoyed yourself in spite of whatever, never let anyone or anything steal your joy!!
Best part to share of your cruise. The moments when you were truly happy and enjoyment was evident not in facial expression but in demeanor. Emblematic of a beginning surfer, that first wave you catch is full of surprises; the ones you catch thereafter you are prepared to enjoy despite the surprises. Enjoyed the content Tour Ambassador.🙏👣👣👣🌠🍦☕️
My family and I are getting ready for a Mediterranean cruise, so we've watching a lot video in reference to cruises. Your videos by far have been the best. Thank you for that and GOD bless.
Hey, I just finished part 2. Congrats on making the best out of a bad situation. Glad you are safe. I too, am a solo traveler (most of the time). I have sailed on the Wonder of the Seas and loved it. You mentioned Brooklyn, I hail from the home of the "cheese Steak". I hope you can mend things with your "X". You don't drink or smoke, that brother is missing out. Good luck.
Wonder if the seas was awesome glad you enjoyed yours as well. And which ex…NOT my baby daddy that was years ago. As far as my recent ex I have no idea what the future holds for me. Only God knows. Maybe He has someone better in store
U r a beautiful person and deserve peace and happiness thank you so much for this video because me and my family was trying to decide what to do we're going to the same ports that you went to now we know we have options thank you thank you thank you sweetie pie❤❤❤ am praying for u and your son may God cover and protect you and your son always
Hello my love love the cruise. I never been to that one before I never did Royal Caribbean. I did carnival a couple couple years. I did four cruises with carnival so far the best one that I like so far was the one when you went zip lining I did zip lining I think in Costa Rica with my daughter for the first time you did 10 I did seven yes And it was in the jungle burning up but I had fun. I’m glad I did that. I did one when my daughter graduated last school couple years back and we did the Spanish Islands and then Costa Rica zip line Cozumel Mexico. I did swimming with the dolphins and Mexico in general, I did parasailing you have to try parasailing that was nice And majority, surprising majority of the time. I usually travel if you’re into cruising I did so far for cruises and I think the best one I did couple years back before the pandemic was one that I did and I left from Puerto Rico every day I was at another island and I love that one but yeah, I love your video. I’m sorry you had to go through what you had to go through but you know you live and learn and you know in relationships we don’t go backwards. I understand you want to patch it up or whatever you felt like it but like you said zebras, don’t change a stripes you live And you look good on your cruise. You always take me when you wanna go again last year I went to London and I went to Paris. I stay with family for three weeks and then I went to Paris for myself and I enjoyed it by myself nice to go with someone, but you gotta do what you gotta do, stay safe love❤
@@hairdo4you68 thanks for watching but I was let trying to get back in a relationship with him AT ALL. We only went as friends coparents. And I’m doing my first carnival cruise for my birthday in Sept with my sister.
Hello NY sister. I’m from the BX, but live in FL. I’m glad you had a great time on the Cruise in-spite of the drama. Sometimes it is good to vacation alone, to reset your mind and spirit so you can be a better version of yourself. I love cruises. It’s my favorite way to vacation.
Definitely E for effort. You heard and listened and followed that inner voice, when you were on the zip line and when you were about to do that fly boat activity. It is always good to be safe than sorry. So kudos to you 😊
I really enjoyed your vlog! I felt like I was traveling with you. I really enjoyed the shows, shopping and zip lining. I liked all of your cruise outfits. I have a cruise coming up in January 2025. Can’t wait.
Katrina, I Love your travel vlogs! I watch your other channel for your small business too and you're an inspiration! I travel a lot by myself and have done a cruise solo! You can find the fun in just about everything even when you're alone! You do you boo!! And you should try Celebrity. I have been several times and it's an elevated experience for cruising!!
I just ran across your vlog and you are not the only one. I dealt with a narcissist too and this actually happened to me for my 50th birthday in May, but not to the extent of security getting involved. I am so sorry this happened, because I know exactly what it feels like. I had many solo meals and disappearing acts. The best part of your cruise is for me is to see you push on and continue with your vacation, because so did I. I am so proud of you💖💖💖.
@@katrinaTravelBae100 Yes they are definitely everywhere and most of them have a deep jealousy towards your bright spirit and they want to dim your light. I kept trying to understand why, but there’s no way I can figure out a demon. God Bless 🙏🏾
So enjoyed part 1 and 2 of your cruise. Whew girl! The good, the not so good, and the really not so good turned out in your favor. Loved how your energy made it fun and engaging. Some videos will loose you in minutes but you kept to your purpose which was to have fun and share information future Wonder of the Seas or any cruise line cruiser may want to know. Haven’t been on Wonder of the Seas but booked for Icon of the Seas with the hubs and some friends for February 2025. Thanks again for sharing!!!
That's going to be an awesome cruise. I'm deciding between Icon or Star of The Seas next. I can't wait. Make sure to have a blast and enjoy every moment.
I took like 2 naps in the day time on this whole trip...I was drained when I got home...lol Thank you so. much for watching and coming along with me on this journey
Hey Sis I’m so glad you had a great time, always cruise solo no drama, I’m so glad I found your channel it was a great experience with Royal Caribbean I said I would never cruise with them again, but maybe one more time ❤️👍💯😊
Overcoming all obstacles with grace. That is a good woman. Have fun on future sailings. I will be on the lookout for the group cruise so I can have fun. My husband doesn't like to do anything fun..lol
I once had a cruise with a very far in the past ex, when we were on the down side of the relationship. He was so mad that I was meeting and conversing with so many different people that are now friends of mine. I guess he wanted it all to be about him, although I’m pretty sure it’s because he was a narcissist. Long story short, I ended up doing a lot of what you did, which was doing a lot of alone stuff. I had a freaking blast! 😂It made me realize that I could cruise solo. Soon after, I went on ONE cruise with a large group and my FIRST solo cruise. Going on solo cruises means that you don’t have to worry about when other people want to eat, the entertainment that other people want to partake in, what time you have to be places, etc. I absolutely love solo cruising!👏🏽
So true you can do what you want when you want. I will definitely do it again. It’s hard moving with other people sometimes if you are not on the same page.
I am so sorry it ended like that but i am glad to see that you didnt let ghat beat you down and you enjoyed your vacay to the max. Traveling alone can sometimes feel borjng but it is also so much fun. Meetjng new people and do what you want. I loved both video. I cant wait to cruise again. My last cruis was 5 years ago, so its. About time to start planning a new one 😅. I cant wait to see all the fun stuff you are going to drop here for us to see. Thank you for keepin it real 😊…
It was definitely a new experience being alone but I made the most of it. I do like making memories with someone. But hey. You should definitely plan a cruise they are so much fun. And I have so much in store for this channel. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
Katrina, I watched both videos back to back so I could get the full effect of what you were posting. Wow, for someone who is getting a 'free' vacation to act like that I have very little words for. Shame on him for even trying to check you during the cruise. I'm proud of what you were trying to do and I'm very happy you made it look good with all the drama. Praying for you and your son, I'm sure you have had some difficult days...
@@richmal50 thank you so much. Yeah I don’t know where all that came from. He would have never been on this trip had ai known. You live and you learn. I’m too nice. Doing me now.
I'm glad you still enjoyed yourself despite the drama. And I enjoyed you on the zip line. I plan on going on The Wonder next year and going on the Mardi gras in September
He was an absent father to his son for 8 years. You expected him to look out for you (the mother of the child he abandoned) while out of the country. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. You live and learn.
Great content Katrina. I think the description you were looking for is narcissistic with passive aggressive behavior. I am going on Utopia of the Seas in November, I can't wait. Thank you for all the tips and information. You are a successful, beautiful and strong woman and a great mother. God will keep you.
I LOVE how adventous you are with the events and trying different things on the ship. I have been on several Royal cruises and have yet to get on that flow rider...lol. I am glad to see you made the best of it and you will be a better person for it. The fact you took him anyway was a bigger person than me....I am a new sub from your cruise videos! Funny how he did not act up until a couple days left??? I have my next cruise in Sept. and I will rock climb, flow rider or zip line...but not all three! Most cause you have inspired me....
Thank you and welcome. 🙏🏽 I was saying the same thing….middle of the cruise now you act up. Song says, Ain’t it funny!” Lol. Anyhow yesss come on you can do all three! You got this. Can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back
You got a new sub. I actually just starting to get into cruising. Did my second cruise this past may on freedom of the seas. Taking my brother on his first cruise ever on utopia of the sea in march and I can’t wait.
I’ve always been skeptical in visiting here but you did the most fantastic video on the Mexico port, wow, what an awesome 2-part video, I really enjoyed your adventurous presentation of this trip. So sorry for the negative experience but you were most inspiring to show how we can push on and thru 💃🏾😄🤗❤️
Oh K....43 mins in, I felt you on that 'I'm not playing" part lol. I had what I call a near death experience too in my head (lol), when I went on a cave tour in Belize. I was already nervous because I can't swim but wanted to YOLO. Well my tube flipped all the way over because a little girl from our group wanted to be a daredevil and jumped off her tube next to me and took me out and flipped my tube over but somehow my shades remained on my face when I came up from the water. But bravo to you Queen for still making the most of your trip.
Now that’s brave. I always wanted to do one of those but scared I don’t play with deep water. Lol. It’s those split seconds something happens and I freak out. In this case his jet ski flipped me and I couldn’t swim with the boots on.
I'm so glad you made the most of it after getting rid of that mess of a man. You have a great spirit and will easily meet someone. Just Make Sure he's worthy. No more taking chances. Know better, do better!❤❤❤ BTW that black outfit with heels...🔥🔥🔥💯😍
@@tyjohnson1550 awww thank you so much. I haven’t dated this guy I. Years ago the guy I was dating was waayyyyyy better than him but we still ended things. Waiting on God! 🫶🏽🙏🏽
I love your transparency! I appreciate your openness, I have the same issue with my BD, we need to do a travel group! I want to travel, thank you for making it seem easy.
I stayed in Rotan for 2-weeks and fell in love with Micheal and Michele (the monkeys) they are awesome. Luna the sloth, I wanted to take her home with me. I love this sancuary and I did not zipline so I spent more time animals. Take time and enjoy you... and stop talking about him. You are never alone when you walk with Jessus. I'm glad you got it all in so many acttivities the cruise ship have to offer. As well as venturing out on your own for shore excusions, sightseeing and shopping. Try Virgin Voyages and/or NCL they do not charge double occupancy for cabins. When is your next E2E SOLO cruise?
I really enjoyed this. So very sorry you had to endure the devil, however God made a way for you to have a good time. This is really making me want to take a cruise. Thankbyou dear❤
So good! Solo cruising isn’t bad. You are not an introvert so you did real good! I know that’s right , homeboy wasn’t getting no spa certificate. I said the next time I’m in Mexico I will try the fish spa and my favorite was you zip lining and girl you had me cracking up and Josiah was very entertaining 😂
He was entertaining and so cute. I loved his accent. Lol. Thank you so much for watching. Sometimes I am an introvert but I gotta be more of an extrovert if ai will be traveling by myself
I swear your story sounds so familiar. I experienced the same thing on my last Cruise, unfortunately it was my husband. 😢 I just held my head up high and did the whole entire cruise by myself that I paid for. It's a shame that there are narcissistic people out here who only care and think about themselves.
I remember seeing and speaking to you on this sailing .May19th-:26th....We complimented each other's hair in passing...I remember seeing you sitting alone at dinner, me not having a clue what you were going through.. If I had known you would have been More than welcome to break bread with my husband and I. Our party of 8 turned into a party of 2 for dinner most nights in the MDR.. I've been where you are Sis! My ex-husband put me through some stuff as well, and I had to make some tough decisions in my life.. LIFE LESSONS LEARNED!!! I love to travel especially cruising! Hope to see you around on a different sailing!
Thank you so much. Small world. Definitely life lessons you learn along the way. Thank you for your kindness. Hopefully our paths will cross again. I pray you had amazing cruise.
@@katrinaTravelBae100 I hope we cross paths again as well! It was fun most of the time..This one proved to me also that you must travel with people who share the same interest. Or at least discuss activities before getting off the ship..if you are not doing excursions.
I haven’t cruised on Royal Carribean in years! RC was my mom’s favorite cruiseline. My favorite cruise line is Norwegian ever since I cruised as a solo traveler and stayed in their Studio cabins connected through the Studio lounge. I had a ball! They had a dedicated staff member to introduce all the solo travelers at dinner. I believe I have cruised solo with them at least 4-5 times since about 2010. I’ve been on other cruise lines with family and/or friends. I enjoyed seeing your cruise on RB. Now I want to cruise on that ship, but only if they offer solo accommodations. I will not pay double occupancy rates as a solo traveler. Girl, I am glad you did not allow what happened with BD to steal your joy! Keep it cruisin’!🛳😉
@@karenpalmer6131 yeah I hate that double occupancy rate but I want to pay for a good time as well. I’m going to be trying all the cruise lines. But my sister is coming in the next one with me
@@katrinaTravelBae100 That’s great that your sister will go with you on the next adventure. When I am on vacation that’s when I am in YOLO mode, so if I can save some coins in one segment that money can go towards the other segments of my vacay experience. 🏖️
I really enjoyed your cruise. I was supposed to have been doing something else but i was hooked on your videos for part one and part two for 3 hours or more. I got so much information on that cruise that I will be going on the exact same cruise in September 2024. So sorry what happened but I am glad you continued to enjoy the rest of your cruise.
Awww so sorry it kept you from doing what you were supposed to do. I hope you got it done. Thank you so much for watching. September is my birthday month. I pray you have an amazing time! Happy cruising. 🙌🏽
You look like you’re having so much fun!! Despite your problems with your ex, it was fun watching you with and without him. This is my first time watching you, but not my last. Now I want to take a Royal Caribbean cruise!!
And you definitely should. And I don’t even consider him an ex we broke up over 14 years ago. He is strictly my son’s father. I’m going on Carnival next for the first time. I’m a Royal Girl!
Thank you so much for sharing your vacation the good the bad the ugly…. My favorite is hearing you say you about to go to breakfast because hunny you got your coins worth plus some 😂😂
Solo trips are needed for mental clarity. Glad you were able to turn things around.
I’m starting to see that. I will be doing many more solo trips thanks for watching.
Cruise tip for you love. Royal Caribbean has a service for the last day where they will take your luggage to the airport for you. It cost about 25 -30 bucks.

Not a chance I kept it moving. Thank you for watching.
What an amazing vlog!! You are not alone w the ex drama. You enjoyed yourself and that's what's important ❤
Thank you so much
The fact you didn’t run into him after the fact, lets you know the ship is huge . Great part 2 ❤❤❤❤❤ new subbie
The ship is so huge especially if his new room is on the other side of the ship
I watched both parts and loved it all! You should be the brand ambassador for RC. The camera loves you!😊
I would definitely love to be. Thank you so much for watching
Great Job!!!! The best description I've seen of a cruise. Very detailed.

Yooo Brooklyn, do you boo. You don’t need validation from anyone. I like dat! Keep it up. Njoy YOUR lemonade baby.
Always lol thanks
Best part to share of your cruise. The moments when you were truly happy and enjoyment was evident not in facial expression but in demeanor. Emblematic of a beginning surfer, that first wave you catch is full of surprises; the ones you catch thereafter you are prepared to enjoy despite the surprises. Enjoyed the content Tour Ambassador.🙏👣👣👣🌠🍦☕️
Yeah that flow rider is no joke. I didn’t know what to expect at first but ai enjoyed it. Lol
@@katrinaTravelBae100 but you rode the waves of the bd experience extremely well and able to remain smiling and still enjoy your activities.
You are adorable! God bless you for being so comfortable in your own skin.❤
Thank you so much!
My family and I are getting ready for a Mediterranean cruise, so we've watching a lot video in reference to cruises. Your videos by far have been the best. Thank you for that and GOD bless.
Awwww thank you so much. That truly means alot. I pray you have an awesome time. Take me with you. 😆
Amazing video I loved the animals, pedicure, all the adventures, food everything looked fun and adventurous..thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching. I had a blast
Hey, I just finished part 2. Congrats on making the best out of a bad situation. Glad you are safe. I too, am a solo traveler (most of the time). I have sailed on the Wonder of the Seas and loved it. You mentioned Brooklyn, I hail from the home of the "cheese Steak". I hope you can mend things with your "X". You don't drink or smoke, that brother is missing out. Good luck.
Wonder if the seas was awesome glad you enjoyed yours as well. And which ex…NOT my baby daddy that was years ago. As far as my recent ex I have no idea what the future holds for me. Only God knows. Maybe He has someone better in store
Quest game is wild and I loved it!!!
I had a blast I really thought my team was gonna win. Lol
2 years ago.The Wonder Of The Seas was my 10th cruise. The first voyage after it's maiden voyage. I am loyal to Royal!
@@FernWalker-s3f I loved Royal as well but I will be taking my sister on a carnival cruise to compare for the first time
Getting ready for Part 2!
My mom & I just watched part 1 and we subscribed. You are a beautiful Queen, always keep your head up. Now we are about to watch part 2. God bless you
Thank you so much. Welcome to the channel. So much more to come. Enjoy part 2
U r a beautiful person and deserve peace and happiness thank you so much for this video because me and my family was trying to decide what to do we're going to the same ports that you went to now we know we have options thank you thank you thank you sweetie pie❤❤❤ am praying for u and your son may God cover and protect you and your son always
Awwww thank you so much. Truly appreciate it. My son will be in the next videos soon. And I hope you all have an awesome time. There is so much to do.
Hello my love love the cruise. I never been to that one before I never did Royal Caribbean. I did carnival a couple couple years. I did four cruises with carnival so far the best one that I like so far was the one when you went zip lining I did zip lining I think in Costa Rica with my daughter for the first time you did 10 I did seven yes And it was in the jungle burning up but I had fun. I’m glad I did that. I did one when my daughter graduated last school couple years back and we did the Spanish Islands and then Costa Rica zip line Cozumel Mexico. I did swimming with the dolphins and Mexico in general, I did parasailing you have to try parasailing that was nice And majority, surprising majority of the time. I usually travel if you’re into cruising I did so far for cruises and I think the best one I did couple years back before the pandemic was one that I did and I left from Puerto Rico every day I was at another island and I love that one but yeah, I love your video. I’m sorry you had to go through what you had to go through but you know you live and learn and you know in relationships we don’t go backwards. I understand you want to patch it up or whatever you felt like it but like you said zebras, don’t change a stripes you live And you look good on your cruise. You always take me when you wanna go again last year I went to London and I went to Paris. I stay with family for three weeks and then I went to Paris for myself and I enjoyed it by myself nice to go with someone, but you gotta do what you gotta do, stay safe love❤
@@hairdo4you68 thanks for watching but I was let trying to get back in a relationship with him AT ALL. We only went as friends coparents. And I’m doing my first carnival cruise for my birthday in Sept with my sister.
Just got out of a relationship was feeling down but your videos have renewed my faith and I love having peace to
@@TT-ht5lu your peace is everything! Wishing you all the best. I know exactly how you feel. It gets better.
Hello NY sister. I’m from the BX, but live in FL. I’m glad you had a great time on the Cruise in-spite of the drama. Sometimes it is good to vacation alone, to reset your mind and spirit so you can be a better version of yourself. I love cruises. It’s my favorite way to vacation.
Hey my NY sister. I will be doing more solo travel as well It’s different but definitely needed.
Peace joy happiness good job❤
Definitely E for effort. You heard and listened and followed that inner voice, when you were on the zip line and when you were about to do that fly boat activity. It is always good to be safe than sorry. So kudos to you 😊
I said nope pull me back in...lol. I really wanted to do it, but that would have ended bad . lol.
I really enjoyed your vlog! I felt like I was traveling with you. I really enjoyed the shows, shopping and zip lining. I liked all of your cruise outfits. I have a cruise coming up in January 2025. Can’t wait.
@@msdee8337 thank you so much. What cruise line and ship will you be on?
@@katrinaTravelBae100 Virgin Voyage Viliant.
God bless you Katrina. Mama didn't raise no fool! You work hard enjoy yourself my darling, you deserve it!!
Thanks so much... she definitely did not!
You are a hoot!! I’ll travel with you. I’m in NC.
Thanks for sharing, sitting at home sick 🤢 but this was like chicken noodle soup to my soul!
@@valariesmitherman4318 awwwwww thanks for watching and I pray you feel better now. 🫶🏽🙏🏽
Katrina, I Love your travel vlogs! I watch your other channel for your small business too and you're an inspiration! I travel a lot by myself and have done a cruise solo! You can find the fun in just about everything even when you're alone! You do you boo!! And you should try Celebrity. I have been several times and it's an elevated experience for cruising!!
@@candlepopstu I will definitely have to try them one day. Thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed your channel! Never been on RC . Great content
@@stephaniebrown5998 Oooh you have to try it. Thanks for watching.
I just ran across your vlog and you are not the only one. I dealt with a narcissist too and this actually happened to me for my 50th birthday in May, but not to the extent of security getting involved. I am so sorry this happened, because I know exactly what it feels like. I had many solo meals and disappearing acts. The best part of your cruise is for me is to see you push on and continue with your vacation, because so did I. I am so proud of you💖💖💖.
@@krobinson502 wow I guess narcissists are everywhere. So many are saying the same thing. Thanks for watching. Sorry that happened to you as well
@@katrinaTravelBae100 Yes they are definitely everywhere and most of them have a deep jealousy towards your bright spirit and they want to dim your light. I kept trying to understand why, but there’s no way I can figure out a demon. God Bless 🙏🏾
Love cruising. I loved watching you doing the zip line.
Thank you so much 😊
IM DOWN FOR THE ICON😁 No I promise I'm not weird, crazy ,messy very clean
@@janysepaul7291 I’m definitely doing a group trip! So many are asking me about. Details coming soon!
So enjoyed part 1 and 2 of your cruise. Whew girl! The good, the not so good, and the really not so good turned out in your favor. Loved how your energy made it fun and engaging. Some videos will loose you in minutes but you kept to your purpose which was to have fun and share information future Wonder of the Seas or any cruise line cruiser may want to know. Haven’t been on Wonder of the Seas but booked for Icon of the Seas with the hubs and some friends for February 2025. Thanks again for sharing!!!
That's going to be an awesome cruise. I'm deciding between Icon or Star of The Seas next. I can't wait. Make sure to have a blast and enjoy every moment.
I love the pov. It was like I did it too!❤
That was the whole point. To be there in spirit. 🙌🏽🙏🏽
New subbie here. I really enjoyed both parts
I'm on a new journey myself.
So inspiring ❤
@@barbarablake2357 awwww thank you so much. Welcome. Much more to come
I enjoyed this. Im so scared to travel alone you gave me strength💪🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for watching. You got this. It’s definitely scary but you can do it.
1st time viewing your channel. Great information/ content
@@neeksellis thank you so much for watching.
I enjoyed the zip line vicariously😃 seems like a lot of fun
@@MsNeplusultra it really is. You must try it one day.
You had an amazing time. And you did so much. I will remember to write this down or save the vlog. You did way more than I did! It can be done!
I took like 2 naps in the day time on this whole trip...I was drained when I got home...lol Thank you so. much for watching and coming along with me on this journey
You are so brave!!! Past the drama girlfriend you are the best travel blogger! I felt like I was right there w/ you!! Blessings my sista!!
I plan to take you on many more. I was tired of people’s boring vlogs. Lol. Thank you so much for watching.
Yr son and yu need each other god bless yu on yr journey❤❤❤❤ you are a good mother
Hey Sis I’m so glad you had a great time, always cruise solo no drama, I’m so glad I found your channel it was a great experience with Royal Caribbean I said I would never cruise with them again, but maybe one more time ❤️👍💯😊
@@shuggaD royal is awesome. You had a bad experience with them? I’m gonna test carnival in September!
Overcoming all obstacles with grace. That is a good woman. Have fun on future sailings. I will be on the lookout for the group cruise so I can have fun. My husband doesn't like to do anything fun..lol
@@LA-KailuaGirl808 thank you and info coming soon on the group cruise hope to see you there!
I did enjoy I felt as if I was on the ship this was very good glad you had a great time
@@carolmitchell8672 so glad you enjoyed it. 😊🙏🏽
I once had a cruise with a very far in the past ex, when we were on the down side of the relationship. He was so mad that I was meeting and conversing with so many different people that are now friends of mine. I guess he wanted it all to be about him, although I’m pretty sure it’s because he was a narcissist. Long story short, I ended up doing a lot of what you did, which was doing a lot of alone stuff. I had a freaking blast! 😂It made me realize that I could cruise solo. Soon after, I went on ONE cruise with a large group and my FIRST solo cruise. Going on solo cruises means that you don’t have to worry about when other people want to eat, the entertainment that other people want to partake in, what time you have to be places, etc. I absolutely love solo cruising!👏🏽
So true you can do what you want when you want. I will definitely do it again. It’s hard moving with other people sometimes if you are not on the same page.
I am so sorry it ended like that but i am glad to see that you didnt let ghat beat you down and you enjoyed your vacay to the max. Traveling alone can sometimes feel borjng but it is also so much fun. Meetjng new people and do what you want.
I loved both video. I cant wait to cruise again. My last cruis was 5 years ago, so its. About time to start planning a new one 😅.
I cant wait to see all the fun stuff you are going to drop here for us to see.
Thank you for keepin it real 😊…
It was definitely a new experience being alone but I made the most of it. I do like making memories with someone. But hey. You should definitely plan a cruise they are so much fun. And I have so much in store for this channel. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
Katrina, I watched both videos back to back so I could get the full effect of what you were posting. Wow, for someone who is getting a 'free' vacation to act like that I have very little words for. Shame on him for even trying to check you during the cruise. I'm proud of what you were trying to do and I'm very happy you made it look good with all the drama. Praying for you and your son, I'm sure you have had some difficult days...
@@richmal50 thank you so much. Yeah I don’t know where all that came from. He would have never been on this trip had ai known. You live and you learn. I’m too nice. Doing me now.
I'm glad you still enjoyed yourself despite the drama. And I enjoyed you on the zip line. I plan on going on The Wonder next year and going on the Mardi gras in September
You’re gonna have a blast. I’m going on The Celebration In Sept for my birthday.
He was an absent father to his son for 8 years. You expected him to look out for you (the mother of the child he abandoned) while out of the country.
I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. You live and learn.
Definitely lesson learned.
Great content Katrina. I think the description you were looking for is narcissistic with passive aggressive behavior. I am going on Utopia of the Seas in November, I can't wait. Thank you for all the tips and information. You are a successful, beautiful and strong woman and a great mother. God will keep you.
So glad i found u! Love your content. Thinking of doing the same thing. I wanna do solo cruising
So glad you found me as well. It was different but I had a great time. Certain cruise lines definitely have solo cabins as well.
I LOVE how adventous you are with the events and trying different things on the ship. I have been on several Royal cruises and have yet to get on that flow rider...lol. I am glad to see you made the best of it and you will be a better person for it. The fact you took him anyway was a bigger person than me....I am a new sub from your cruise videos! Funny how he did not act up until a couple days left??? I have my next cruise in Sept. and I will rock climb, flow rider or zip line...but not all three! Most cause you have inspired me....
Thank you and welcome. 🙏🏽 I was saying the same thing….middle of the cruise now you act up. Song says, Ain’t it funny!” Lol. Anyhow yesss come on you can do all three! You got this. Can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back
Im so glad you enjoyed yourself. I enjoyed the vlog!!
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it
You got a new sub. I actually just starting to get into cruising. Did my second cruise this past may on freedom of the seas. Taking my brother on his first cruise ever on utopia of the sea in march and I can’t wait.
@@Ibradan745 ooooh the new ship. I’m gonna do that one too but next carnival
I’ve always been skeptical in visiting here but you did the most fantastic video on the Mexico port, wow, what an awesome 2-part video, I really enjoyed your adventurous presentation of this trip. So sorry for the negative experience but you were most inspiring to show how we can push on and thru 💃🏾😄🤗❤️
No matter what you face you gotta try to make the most of it. Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it
I’m glad you had a nice time despite what happened.
Thank you
Oh K....43 mins in, I felt you on that 'I'm not playing" part lol. I had what I call a near death experience too in my head (lol), when I went on a cave tour in Belize. I was already nervous because I can't swim but wanted to YOLO. Well my tube flipped all the way over because a little girl from our group wanted to be a daredevil and jumped off her tube next to me and took me out and flipped my tube over but somehow my shades remained on my face when I came up from the water.
But bravo to you Queen for still making the most of your trip.
Now that’s brave. I always wanted to do one of those but scared I don’t play with deep water. Lol. It’s those split seconds something happens and I freak out. In this case his jet ski flipped me and I couldn’t swim with the boots on.
I just subscribed I need to see this part 2 😊 ❤❤
So need you to see it. It’s already posted.
I enjoyed it. Glad you didn’t let your bd ruin your fun trip.
I'm so glad you made the most of it after getting rid of that mess of a man. You have a great spirit and will easily meet someone. Just Make Sure he's worthy. No more taking chances. Know better, do better!❤❤❤ BTW that black outfit with heels...🔥🔥🔥💯😍
@@tyjohnson1550 awww thank you so much. I haven’t dated this guy I. Years ago the guy I was dating was waayyyyyy better than him but we still ended things. Waiting on God! 🫶🏽🙏🏽
I love your transparency! I appreciate your openness, I have the same issue with my BD, we need to do a travel group! I want to travel, thank you for making it seem easy.
I most definitely am. Stay tuned. I’m going to have a trip for anyone who wants to hang and travel with me for sure. It’s gonna be 🔥
Great videos. This is encouraging me to release my traveling videos on UA-cam.
Thank you. You can do it! Go for it 🙌🏽
I just love your adventures vibes. Loveeeee it!
Thank you so much
Ohhh I have to go see the animals!!! So adorable!!
It was so much fun.
I stayed in Rotan for 2-weeks and fell in love with Micheal and Michele (the monkeys) they are awesome. Luna the sloth, I wanted to take her home with me. I love this sancuary and I did not zipline so I spent more time animals. Take time and enjoy you... and stop talking about him. You are never alone when you walk with Jessus. I'm glad you got it all in so many acttivities the cruise ship have to offer. As well as venturing out on your own for shore excusions, sightseeing and shopping. Try Virgin Voyages and/or NCL they do not charge double occupancy for cabins.
When is your next E2E SOLO cruise?
I’m planning my next trip now trying to decide where I’m going for my birthday in September
Im glad or ol ,these ninjas are unpredictable
Very!
Enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤
hanks for watching
I really enjoyed this. So very sorry you had to endure the devil, however God made a way for you to have a good time. This is really making me want to take a cruise. Thankbyou dear❤
Thank you and you should cruises are awesome
So good! Solo cruising isn’t bad. You are not an introvert so you did real good! I know that’s right , homeboy wasn’t getting no spa certificate. I said the next time I’m in Mexico I will try the fish spa and my favorite was you zip lining and girl you had me cracking up and Josiah was very entertaining 😂
He was entertaining and so cute. I loved his accent. Lol. Thank you so much for watching. Sometimes I am an introvert but I gotta be more of an extrovert if ai will be traveling by myself
I swear your story sounds so familiar. I experienced the same thing on my last Cruise, unfortunately it was my husband. 😢 I just held my head up high and did the whole entire cruise by myself that I paid for. It's a shame that there are narcissistic people out here who only care and think about themselves.
@@Natashashanell143 wow…so sorry to hear that! It really is a shame and we as women have to always make do and push past the nonsense.
So enjoyed watching . I will do this in December. Watch type of camera did you use? Thanks
I'm actually using my Iphone 15 for this entire Vlog. But when I am home I use my sony ZV1. I wanted to travel light
I remember seeing and speaking to you on this sailing .May19th-:26th....We complimented each other's hair in passing...I remember seeing you sitting alone at dinner, me not having a clue what you were going through.. If I had known you would have been More than welcome to break bread with my husband and I. Our party of 8 turned into a party of 2 for dinner most nights in the MDR.. I've been where you are Sis! My ex-husband put me through some stuff as well, and I had to make some tough decisions in my life.. LIFE LESSONS LEARNED!!! I love to travel especially cruising! Hope to see you around on a different sailing!
Thank you so much. Small world. Definitely life lessons you learn along the way. Thank you for your kindness. Hopefully our paths will cross again. I pray you had amazing cruise.
@@katrinaTravelBae100 I hope we cross paths again as well! It was fun most of the time..This one proved to me also that you must travel with people who share the same interest. Or at least discuss activities before getting off the ship..if you are not doing excursions.
So happy you had a fabulous time by yourself. Forget him and good riddens.
@@rives3540 thank you
I haven’t cruised on Royal Carribean in years! RC was my mom’s favorite cruiseline. My favorite cruise line is Norwegian ever since I cruised as a solo traveler and stayed in their Studio cabins connected through the Studio lounge. I had a ball! They had a dedicated staff member to introduce all the solo travelers at dinner. I believe I have cruised solo with them at least 4-5 times since about 2010. I’ve been on other cruise lines with family and/or friends. I enjoyed seeing your cruise on RB. Now I want to cruise on that ship, but only if they offer solo accommodations. I will not pay double occupancy rates as a solo traveler. Girl, I am glad you did not allow what happened with BD to steal your joy! Keep it cruisin’!🛳😉
@@karenpalmer6131 yeah I hate that double occupancy rate but I want to pay for a good time as well. I’m going to be trying all the cruise lines. But my sister is coming in the next one with me
@@katrinaTravelBae100 That’s great that your sister will go with you on the next adventure. When I am on vacation that’s when I am in YOLO mode, so if I can save some coins in one segment that money can go towards the other segments of my vacay experience. 🏖️
I really enjoyed your cruise. I was supposed to have been doing something else but i was hooked on your videos for part one and part two for 3 hours or more. I got so much information on that cruise that I will be going on the exact same cruise in September 2024. So sorry what happened but I am glad you continued to enjoy the rest of your cruise.
Awww so sorry it kept you from doing what you were supposed to do. I hope you got it done. Thank you so much for watching. September is my birthday month. I pray you have an amazing time! Happy cruising. 🙌🏽
Thank u so much
You look like you’re having so much fun!! Despite your problems with your ex, it was fun watching you with and without him. This is my first time watching you, but not my last. Now I want to take a Royal Caribbean cruise!!
And you definitely should. And I don’t even consider him an ex we broke up over 14 years ago. He is strictly my son’s father. I’m going on Carnival next for the first time. I’m a Royal Girl!
Hi, enjoyed your 2 part video. Wondering, can you provide the name of the perfume.
It’s Fame from Paco Rabanne
@@katrinaTravelBae100 thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your vacation the good the bad the ugly…. My favorite is hearing you say you about to go to breakfast because hunny you got your coins worth plus some 😂😂
Ha...I wasn't missing no meals...especially when I don't have to cook it myself...lol.
Thanks for sharing the boat is amazing it is large
It is currently the 2nd largest ship until The Star of The Seas Comes Out
Great video… they have a fish spa in Orlando FL as well as
@@mikethetravellover1986 I heard they have one in Vega’s now too. I guess it’s more popular now. Thanks for watching.
@@katrinaTravelBae100yes it used to be banned here in the states.. but it’s a real nice experience
