I love the intro music and video. It helped me while we were all dealing with the pandemic back in 2020. Best intro ever!!!
❤love you sweetheart ❤ so deep I love our story and chapters in it
Love you baby!
Thank you for sharing your dad's story. It was heartfelt and you are right your story is not your dads. Hugs to you.
Tony, We agree with you that the Firenze is the best Carnival ship right know. We feel that the Main dining room food on this ship is the best we’ve ever had on Carnival. Everything on this ship seems improved even over the Panorama that we sailed on recently. We were cursing Carnival for improving the cakes and desserts in all the venues as all our clothes are tighter now. Great job Carnival.
I greatly appreciate you sharing your father’s story Tony and I am so sorry. 💞 You are a wonderful, sensitive man, and Jenny is very fortunate to have you. I am sure the new house you have bought together will be filled with wonderful memories for many, many years to come! Bless you! 🤗
I love the way you incorporate your personal life, your opinions & your travel experiences into your conversations with us. Everything is just so natural. I do love the vlogs & hope you continue to do them. Even if you're just going to the grocery store. LOL! You would even make that trip interesting. So many people do cruise news now, that I think your personal experiences would be more interesting. Just my opinion. You took us into your move to your new house, which is another natural experience, without putting your personal security at risk. Alot of other vloggers don't do that. I hope you & Jenny will be very happy in your new place & along with your travels, I hope you find plenty of time to play with your LEGO's. You sure have alot to work on. Keep up the great work you do!! Harriet in PA
I really appreciate your videos and lives. They are fun to watch, your voice is comforting, and help distract me from terrible things happening in my life. Your channels are life changing so thank you.
Love the fork replacement threshold for a good dining experience! Maybe that and the old crumb scraper! ha
I like that you are such a transparent supporter of Carnival. It is so easy to listen to all the negative chatter and believe it without actually experiencing the cruise line. Glad it was such a great cruise!
Tony hands up I would watch you do everything the wrong way, or everything the right way (who am I to judge) I just like watching you do it! Strange but true 😂.
Cruises, Legos, dodgy salad bars , bring it on! Much respect for the deep feelings in this one. Never knew your dad but when you welled up, I welled up with ya!
Much Love from the UK
My mother was in her 70s when she died and she was old. My dad was almost 90 and if he hadn’t had cancer he would still be here. You would never know he was that age. Hopefully I will be like my father.
News, travel, whatever makes you happy will make a good video. Mix it up as you feel.
So sorry about your Dad, Tony. It never gets easy does it.
I really like your adventure videos. You are so much fun to travel with. I enjoy your cruise news, but the travel videos are what brought me to your channel.
Had that biscuit on the Mardi Gras and agree with you completely.
I LUV your authenticity ❤️. Started watching y’all during Covid. I’m a Flight Attendant, when I’m off duty I cruise, probably 40-50 cruises. Soo disappointed in Holland!! They cut costs, crews, food, entertainment. I’ve met so many people that agree. Carnival blows Holland away lately. Celebrity is probably my fave, but like you stated, cruising is subjective. Alaska is my FAVORITE cruise to do. I choose cruises based on newest ship & the Spa. I don’t consider ports because of flying for ova 25 years.
I loved the Firenze. It was elegant and beautiful. I've only been on Imagination, Voyager of the Seas, and the Firenze, but I've watched a ton of cruise ship tours. Firenze is the luxurious look I expect all cruise ships to have.
Tony...thanks for sharing the story on your dad....very sweet....
Oh wow, no wonder I get you. We both had parents only make it to 52 and now we are 53. Yes I am living life but also prepairing to make it to retirement too!
Okay Firenza it is❤
Thanks for your loyal to your viewers content...that ship was beautiful!!
Great show tonight, I agree with your listeners love the intro, I want to Sizzler when I was in LA too we haven’t had one in WPBCH in yrs and seemed like the place to go, lol. You’re so sweet to your Jenny B I was wondering where so she was. Have a great rest of the eeek week
Tony I like your Q & A videos, but I really love your videos when you are out and about on cruises and showing us the ports and things to do more please. I'm not so much the Cruise News videos person. But Thank You for sharing all that you do!
Always love your reviews every day. Will be on this ship the 30th 5 day 4 nite.
Going to enjoy a fresh look. Carnival had the worst interiors done 36 cruises with carnival in the past. Tony keep up the great work. A day with out Tony is just a bowl of flakes.
Awesome live show Tony!!!
Hi Tony, we love your show. Finally subscribed today John and Barb from Ontario.
Oh jeez the Sizzler talk continues!!!!!! 😂
They have the best Rib Eye steaks!!!
I'm sure glad you went to the blow. Now I won't have to go. Also, the gauntlet you ran in ensinada ( what ever ) is really like downtown Cozumel, pulling you from all sides.
“Blues cruise blues cruise book another”. That’s going to be my mantra from now on.😂😂😂😂
Would love to see vlog of you going to historic places also places that are "haunted" also like when you are on a quest. Could try and find the best pizza ice cream etc. interview people
When Disney took away my place setting and used a crumb remover wow that was a surprise.
Yes sailing past the Statue of Liberty and seeing it for the first time in my life was exciting. We were lucky because Charmaine put us on the side of the statue so we got to watch from our balcony, bundled up because it was November!🥶
Hello Tony very happy vlog I cant believe. you still have Sizzlers they were in Australia for years not one left now.the Canival Luminosa will bavk in October so we would like to try her she has a cruise out of Sydney she is a Vista class a good size for us .
@La Lido Loca - there is a "Monsters of Rock" cruise (80's metal and rock stuff).
I can't wait to go on the Firenze and then I can give my opinion if it is nicer then the Venezia. Ha ha ha. I loved, loved the Venezia so I can't wait...18 days and this time I don't have to fly first! Time for Carnival to port in San Diego though or I need to try another cruise line.
Looks like your brother in law was a real trouper through out the trip. All that walking! Hope he had a good time too!
I miss my dad. To can always go. Deap
Going on the Liberty. Can't wait.
I highly recommend the private Hidden Gems tour in Bermuda. It was one of the best excursions we've ever done!
Go to Santorini and Mykonos!!! You will be thrilled 😊
I agree with that statement about the Firenze being the best ship in the Carnival fleet, as we just got off of Venezia and loved the ship so much. However, I found the Marketplace lacking as opposed to other ship lines I’ve been on.
I love the travel videos!
Main man Tony!!!
I love your show
I was on the same ship with you, celebrating Mother's Day with my daughter and sister (still sad I never ran into you) I 100% agree with you, Firenze is a truly beautiful ship. Every area seemed to go a few steps above a normal Carnival ship. Jenny B needs to go with you next time, she would LOVE it!!. I was really disappointed with the empanadas, very stale :( I also agree with you that this ship has room for improvement, especially on food quality and entertainment. With that said, I would go on her again in a second, loved the decor and class of this ship. I am gonna re-book a free casino offer and go with my hubby next time :)
We've been on the miracle 4 times 4 different itineraries.
Going on the Firenze next month 👍
(chuckle) Myself, hubby and sister-in-law decided to try Carnival for the very first time on the Celebration this past January... and had the same reaction as you regarding the lack of tablecloths and reusing of cutlery 😮
Definitely agree that HAL and Celebrity have good buffets. Looking forward to our B2B on Valiant Lady next month, it sure will be a totally different experience than what we're used to
We are cruising out of Miami in Dec. any places you recommend? We missed your live video, but we love watching you!!!! Thank you.
To answer the Alaska question, If you can afford or figure a way to afford it. Take the helicopter to a glacier. There is no better excursion. Just book them direct for best price.
One more thought/idea: I took a Stanley type mug, filled it halfway with the free coffee and the rest with ice, then added the cream that they provided ... BOOM! instant FREE creamy cold brew :) It ends up tasting just like the underwhelming $6 option at Java Blue .... Shout out LUDA!
whatever you tape, I will watch!
Just been to G8 Sturrup Cay the umbrellas are free! It's NCL property island. Food drinks, all is free too!
Just cruise on the Carnival Dream (food was not that good) Cruised the Vista last year (food was great)
I always miss the lives😭
Jeez Tony, I didn't know you could reflect...
lol on In&Out…fully agree….my son and I were there the week before you (DCL)…did more In&Out than I wanted and the fries sucked.
You have to ask for the fries "well done"
The empanada station (extra cost) might have been worse than the meatballs. They throw em in a microwave making the dough tough and hard, and the filling left a lot to be desired.
I'm not on the live show, but I have a question for you about the Firenze formal dinner. On the 9 day cruise on the Venezia they had a masquerade theme on the formal night, do they have anything like that on the short Catalina/Ensenda cruise on the Firenze?
Hi Tony. Question did we get one of the paintings.
I will never travel Carnival for the reputation of the passengers sorry. I have many friends that have tried many Carnival cruises and always some low class drama.
Love your show though!! ❤️❤️
I cruised on Carnival last year, not by choice …there was a family special event on it. Hated it, I’ll never cruise on Carnival again. Princess is my preferred line
I have cruised many times almost half on carnival and can say NCL and Royal Caribbean have the same issues.
Im watching Seinfeld and Kramer just mentioned Sizzler!!! 🤯🤯 wtf
My parents are huge cruisers and My mom wants to buy that shirt you’re wearing for my stepdad! Where did you get it if you don’t mind me asking? 🙏🏻
Tony, my mother is obsessed with finding this shirt for my step dad, so I am reaching out again 🫶🏻. Can you help me out brother? LOVE your channel and the insight you provide!
Question: You mentioned the shareholder benefit on Royal... have you heard anything regarding the shareholder benefit for Carnival Corporation? Are they stopping the OBC for being a stockholder at the end of 2024?
Pymt due 60 days out!
MSc has to follow the ada rules 😅❤
QUESTION Are there any months you refuse to cruise to the Caribbean? We're doing the Mexican Riviera on the Firenze this September. Obviously worried about hurricanes!
Carnival Firenze Mexican Riviera cruise will be along the Pacific Coast, so there is no need to worry about hurricanes there
Isn't the Mardi Gra ship a better ship Tony? I also think Carnival entertainment is fairly good , i especially like the Punchliner. 👍
QUESTION: Were you able to view the Terrazza cabins/deck?
I could see the area. Not in the cabins.
Do videos around the Florida area. I am from Florida and miss it sometimes. Would love to see what’s going on down there.
Sizzler would not have gone through your system that fast while waiting to get past the Downtown Disney security line. Perhaps it was that hot dog you ate?
No hot dog that day. In and Out a few hours earlier.
Hi, Tony, where did you eat at Bufadora? I don't think you mentioned the name, or I missed it! Thx!,
I think he said Lydia's Tacos
Ok, thank you! We are going there in Oct on Carnival Radiance! 💕❤🛳⚓
Hello
Jealous. Wish I was cruising.
I’ve been on 19 carnival cruises. The food is really gone downhill in my opinion.
Have you been on the Jubilee?!
Yes
Tony did go on the Jubilee, 🙂
@@LaLidoLocano love for Carnival Liberty? Fans know you went on it twice, and it slipped your mind. 😂
Mcdonalds owns Del Taco.
In UK you can't get on ship without insurance why do us not make it law like us in UK saves all the trouble
Inn n Out fries are terrible! They had a Styrofoam consistency/texture when we tried them for the first time in March.
I like Sizzler
Don’t waste your time and go on the Madrid Gras. It sucks and I normally like Carnival
I would never go on Carnival
Oh good. More for us!
I cruised with Carnival once and hated it for various reasons
Then
No matter the age of your kids, if you or they do not want to spend time together, it may be a waste of money to bring them along. For the youngest there are rooms you can leave them supervised, but why bring them if they could do the same with family or friends at home. I've only used the kids rooms for an adult dinner in the extra pay restaurants. Mid aged kids running around on a ship is such the issue. Noisy, walk like a pack of dogs. Skip lines. So rude. Please keep an eye on these kids. Then teenagers either enjoy being with you or leave them at home and save the money. My (4) 17-24 year old kids cruised with us this year. (3) spent time with us or hung by the adult pool briefly. The 4th just hung in the room. So why did he come along?
