awesome deviation from the normal car stuff RF! love it! i’ve been on a few really nice expensive cruises. Seems like the Ritz Carlton does it really nice but the rooms are small for the $. thanks for upload bub always fun.
I’ve been on five cruises now. Royal and Celebrity. I’ve always wondered about the Ritz Carlton. Their base cabin is the equivalent of a junior ocean suite on a standard higher end cruise ship with appx 3000 people. The Services is exactly the same one and cruise ship. There are people who tend to your room. Some are better than others I imagine, but we’ve never had an issue with anyone. This sounds like great value for money.
OMG! This is an awesome review! Thanks. I've never wanted to go on a regular cruise because it just doesn't seem like my thing. I need space and more luxury. This seems like I may like it more. I'd consider this, although I'm still not crazy about cruises. Thanks again 🥰
It’s very very much exactly like a cruise ship. Just less activities to do. The cabin was pretty but not higher end than a suite on Royal, Celebrity, or a Carnival Excel class ship. Looks very much like a mini cruise ship so I really like it! Thanks for the tour!
I went on a Alaska cruise with NCL in the Haven and it’s very intimate limited amount of suites for that area. Has its own pool and jacuzzi. So you’re never going to be too many people around. Plenty of entertainment if you so desire outside the haven. It was a great experience for the $$$$. Great video by the way was thinking of trying Ritz.
I have been on Evrima for 5 nights in Feb 2023. Enjoyed it so much, doing it again for 7 nights in March 2024. 298 guests MAX! No shows, no casino, no all day overhead announcements, no roving photographer, to name a few things. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Ritz Water! The food is fantastic. Service top notch. We stayed in a Signature Suite, plenty of space. Nespresso coffee makers in all suites. They will stock your in room fridge with what ever you’d like. The great thing, it’s all inclusive!
I've stayed at the Ritz Carlton Club on St Thomas a few times. Like you, I prefer land. It's in a great location across from St John. The Club rooms are like condos with 2 or 4 bedrooms, kitchens. Really cheap in off season (summer).
Ritz Carlton is one of my favourites for luxury accommodation, they have a program which allows you to buy anything you like in there hotels (Paintings, Sculptures,Linen , furniture or even the mattress) which is cool, First time seeing there cruise, looks like a much better cruise option as well (Traditional cruises are too chaotic for my liking). Great Video, Happy New Year
I give you kudos for trying to cruise when you didn’t think you would like it. Great review . I think you kinda like cruising a little bit lol. You might actually like a regular cruise more than you think.
Cinnamon Bay on St John is the most insane beach I've ever seen in person. Can't wait to go back--haven't been to the USVI since 2015... I miss it. Glad to see this as an option; we have never done a cruise due to all of the people.
If you want to try a slightly bigger boat, Regent Seven Seas is a good line that is similar, but you are on a slightly bigger boat, ~700 passengers. The bigger boat means more entertainment, including a casino, and more restaurant choices. The bigger boat is slightly more stable on the water.
Thanks Rob, nice detour! I’ve always had my eye on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and I think I’ll give them a try now! In college I worked at Ritz-Carlton parking cars and along with Residence Inn they’ve been my go-to hotel when traveling. Both are part of the Marriott group, where I also worked as a lifeguard early on. Disclaimer: I owned
Way too many people for me. One of the awful photos of a full pool reminded me of my RC cruise. It was fun but way too many people. Trying Celebrity this summer
@@samanthaa.6055I’d love to know your thoughts. I went on RCL for a seven day cruise during Thanksgiving. I should not have gone during a busy time but I felt very much like cattle. I decided that I wanted to try Celebrity or a higher end cruise.
Worked as musician on cruises large and small. Italian, Brit, Hong Kong (exclusive first class) and even Russian cruise lines (also smaller) and a lot of fun. There’s fun on either but did prefer the smaller more intimate atmosphere. But with the Ritz Carlton it’s certainly a step up in design and would definitely try it out.
Great review! I agree with just about everything you said from our experience. We had a group of 25 so that made up for the entertainment 🤭 it was a great experience to the point that I don’t think I can do the big cruise ship again.
Our nanny told us stories about Carnival and Royal Caribbean, she loves those boats. People fight and go ahead of everybody, drink too much, and the food is buffet-style mostly. I couldn't change Silversea or The Ritz if I had to take another cruise.
I went on their maiden voyage. After my cruise was canceled about four times, when we finally sailed, I was unimpressed with the ship. Our ports were great, but I found the boat to be very dull. The food was just OK, and there were so many older adults. I'll take Disney cruising on any day
Thanks for this video, was wondering what they offer. You literally saved me some cash, I’d rather charter a small vessel for the family and relax without all the extra people.
I'm not a boat guy either, but this sure does look nice. I did a Disney cruise as a teenager. Loved it, but not in a rush to cruise again unless the circumstances are correct like your situation. I love being on my own kayak though 🤣
Explore the world for like 3 hours and then have to hurry back before you miss port leave cruises are horrible for travel I can fly across the world in 1 day try that on a boat
@braxton1098 We spent three days in Barcelona Spain, a day in Genoa and moved on to Florence before spending another three days in Rome. I thought it was great.
Great review. I’m not really a cruise person either. This boat is beautiful, but appears that every single couple is coupled up. I doubt there were any single women on that cruise.
OK we are missing a lot here. Its the other cruisers on the ship. They will probably be older, wiser, well mannered, interesting, sophisticated and other positive adjectives of class. These are not the party hard crowd. Nor will they be the crowd that tries to impress you with themselves and what they have. They don't need to do that. The conversation should flow easily with your fellow cruisers and they will be world travelers with lots of good stories and tips to exchange with you and as we found on Azamara you will probably make friends with at least one couple and our Friends are from Sydney Australia and its so nice when you have friends in far away places looking forward to seeing them and we did and had a wonderful time and have kept up our friendship. They are coming to see us later this month. Just my two cents. PS I'm like the above and I fit perfectly with them. But to be honest. Ritz is a bit too steep for us, not that we could not splurge, but we have found you will meet the same people on Azamara and other lower luxury lines as I have mentioned and other lines if you stay in the Retreats, etc. Just my two cents. So no flames, I'm tired of people taking pot shots. If you have a negative comment, please do it in the vein of a discussion rather than a diatribe or attack.
Cruises are for the exact people you would think they are. All you can eat buffets and booze kinda people. Not the type of people id like to be locked on a boat with. Atleast this looked a little more classy but cruises make no sense to me.
@@superspeeders You get enough sh in these comments so I hate to be negative, but: seriously? Buying stuff off of Facebook? Why don't people realise what a fraudulent company it is? Not to mention how bad it is to buy from those big tech firms to our society even if they weren't evil companies manipulating and lying to us, as well as killing off other companies using illegal tactics...
Room was adequate and the price wasn’t paid. But it seems like since there isn’t much entertainment it would be boring. You really have to go with folks who are ok with always eating, drinking and talking. As an introvert I probably wouldn’t do this type of cruise.
I’m not fond of cruises although I’ve been on some for family reunions. I don’t like being in the middle of nowhere in the ocean. Especially in turbulent water like I was between Spain and Tangier, Africa. That was 1999 and I’m still traumatized.
It would be nice if they had a small little luxury gambling den (non smoking) Maybe a roulette table or two. A handful of slots. A single card table. Done
uh if you want a less douchier experience that is also very automobile centric.... check out the SS Badger. its Americas only moving historical landmark and it is a legit part of the interstate crossing lake Michigan lol also its still coal fired.
less people is more in your case. since you wanted to just be with your friends you probably had more fun on this yacht than on one of those massive cruises.
I’d be worried about the age group on board. I’d imagine a cruise like that is mostly filled with much older passengers and not a lot of people in their 20s-30s
This looks very nice but for the money you could go on a MSC cruise and go in the yacht clubs, which is like a boutique hotel inside a big cruise ship, exclusive pool, hottub, concierge, private dining and premium spirits all included, plus a larger cabin and a spa pass included and you’ll have $2-3k to save/spend on excursions

thanks for upload bub always fun.
I can see Rob spinning this into an adventure series.
What luxury cruise line would you say is the best?
290 is about the maximum number of people I ever want to be on any size boat with
For me that number would be 2 .

Pfft most hotels have that program for free
Ritz should’ve paid you for this… always said I’d never go on a cruise but this I would do.
I'd be happy if they paid me my cost back after the fact :)
Posting the video made it a business expense

Great content Rob!
You should do more in other lifestyle/luxury areas like this on the channel! 👍
What a beautiful ship. This is how I would want to cruise. Thanks for sharing!
My man. That was a GREAT review for someone like me. We’re similar age, etc. I was wondering what this would be like. Thanks much

Ritz Carlton also has same size boat but the passengers onboard actually live on board and travel the world!

Thanks SO much for the review. I am considering one of their cruises and am very happy to get your opinion/honest feedback.
You should really go on a Royal Caribbean cruise, it’s on another level.

A nice in-between option for going on a boat. Ritz Carlton do thing well.
Yep, not a boat person! I’d rather travel and mingle with the locals. Thanks for the review. 👍🏻😊

Been there, we took a pic of our Carnival cruise ship parked next to the Disney cruise ship in the Bahamas. yeah.. it's kinda sad.

Love it! Thank you for your review. Simply do not mention the titanic, no, no no.😂
St. Bart looks🔥
The boat man stays with the boat
Did you bring your suitcase concept? Would make a good test run
I did. It's been making moves.
Testing out his smuggling suitcase… bring back them kilos to supplement his car rental money laundering operation lol jk rob 👍
As someone not a kid person, this looked fantastic, steep$ tho
Excellent summary. I prefer micro cruises, primarily because of the smaller ports-of-call.
The reason you felt all of that rocking is because you were on a smaller boat. Lol. Great video.
Cruising is awesome. Best way to travel and see the world. Sit back, have a drink and do your thing.
Explore the world for like 3 hours and then have to hurry back before you miss port leave cruises are horrible for travel I can fly across the world in 1 day try that on a boat

Totally worth the premium for " non cruise " type people.
Rob, what is going on with your hair transplant? I don't see any extra thickness and growth in the front? Do another follow up video
thanks for this great review :)
I like the slick music, nice editing Mr spaghetti! And cool content outside the usual stuff, you’re the man Rob!
Thanks
I like this video. It was dope and different!
Today, Mr. Spaghetti finds a fancy floating meatball.
HAHAHHAHAHAHA HIS NAME SOUNDS LIKE SPAGHETTI LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
In this video Mr Spaghetti tries the all you can eat marinara sauce and decides it’s not really his thing.
This time Rob almost loses his mom's spaghetti like Eminem before freestyle-battling.
Good review
Great review. I’m not really a cruise person either. This boat is beautiful, but appears that every single couple is coupled up. I doubt there were any single women on that cruise.
Thank you, well said.
I would have spent time in the cigar bar. They had some Davidoffs stocked. Wonder how much?
The trick is to smuggle some out...Lewinsky style.
Is the tambourine for twirling like Stevie Nicks?
San Juan, Puerto Rico, my home! 🇵🇷
It does give off the chartered yaht vibe. What Ritz doesnt understand though is most people go on a cheap cruise to get wasted and see some islands.

This vs Regent Seven Seas Explorer, which is more expensive, luxurious, larger?
why didnt u like st kits? I am curious...what makes it diff from the 2 others?
Wow, very nice and spacious compared to what I've seen.
I am very much a boat person. I think I would love the Ilma. Unfortunately, I am not a wealthy person.
Thank you for sharing!! Was looking for a honeymoon cruise but this looks boring. Icon of the Seas it is!
Made a video so you could write off part of your vacation? 😜
Does seem as family oriented… would you agree? I’m curious.
Great video

Nothing about the food? I mean for me that's probably one of the main reasons why I would go on a cruise like this
This is yachting? Not my idea
It’s people who say they are yachting but it’s just the stuck up version
What brand of sweater is that? Where do I get one?
That is all over facebook ads, I don't recall.

Cruise ships are the Walmart of the high seas.
They're the America of the Seas. Sometimes turning into the India of the seas...
Why didn't you like St Kitts? I don't know anything about these islands, so some perspective would be nice, thank you.
In England there is a special term for the type of mustache Mr Spaghetti is sporting, but I'm not sure I can put it in a UA-cam comment.
lazy travel stache. I shaved once I got on the boat.

How about the singles scene? That's what we're all here to find out. 😇
I’d doubt there’d be many singles since most single woman wouldn’t drop this kinda money to go alone or with friends. I’d bet it’s entirely couples.
Thanks for asking this! I was actually going to treat myself but it seems to not be a right fit for a single early 30’s woman. Might seem a bit odd…

Meatball goes on a cruise 😂
I would've rather preferred seeing the yacht itself. Not just hearing a description 😂
I’ve always wanted to try to go on a yacht, but the idea of not seeing land scares me
It’s a interesting price point as you are starting to reach starting prices to charter a small yacht for 5 days-full week.
I take that trip.
Wouldn't bother me if it had been a hurricane. As long as its not sinking the show is worth it.
