    I got a great last minute casino deal sailing on Allure of the Seas on Black Friday weekend, 3 nights, upgraded to a balcony, and total cost was $ 90.00, port taxes and fees!! It’s my very first cruise on Royal, so thanks for sharing this video 👍🏽👍🏽!!

      @@michelleehrlich5203 I would say spend what you can afford to lose when it comes to a dollar amount for gambling. It May be a good idea for you to build a bankroll, so say if you gamble $100 dollars and get say $300 from winning, then you would wanna put aside an amount to build your bank roll and decide if you wanna gamble with the rest. It takes a lot of discipline but it is possible and keeps you accountable. Hope this helps😀😀!!

    So many people book these older ships today and complain about every little thing. You did not. You enjoyed yourselves and it showed. Thank you Happy Cruising

    So funny you call this a “smaller” ship. Ok, I am a bit older than you, but our first cruise was on the Monarch of the Seas, which is less than half the size of the Mariner. Also been on Enchantment, Vision, Majesty and Rhapsody. The first time we went on Voyager, (same size as Mariner), we thought this thing was massive. Also have been on the Allure, which of course is bigger. Glad to watch this as we are doing a b2b on the Explorer (sister to Mariner) from Miami to Venice IT in April. But still like some small ships, as we booked a Vision trip to Bermuda next fall. Great job on the video.

    Dev if RCL is your go to for cruising, who is anyone to judge that. I personally am not a fan of the cruise lines that like to charge you for every thing. Like in your video, the main dinning room should not have premium up charges and room service should be included. 7.99 plus 18% is unacceptable to me in a cruise but that’s me. I am glad you are enjoying and I look forward to the next installment.
