I’m about to sail away on the inspiration as their newest media manager! thanks for such a descriptive and informative video so I can get a better idea of what to expect to live on for the next six months!
Loved watching the vlog. I took my 8-year-old granddaughter on my first cruise this past April. We had such a great time. You guys look like you put in a long day. Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs to come. Thanks for sharing!!
Finished watching this and i have to say what lovely manners you have given your son. The way he ordered his meal....just not seen much any more. Also... what a great and easy way you've shown him how to interact with others. Awesome parenting.
My Inspiration/Imagination embarkation day is show up too early and have to wait in the suite lounge. We always get the Junior Suites on Verandah deck. An obstructed view one is cheaper. First stop is the Deli for a corned beef on rye. Carnival has the best corned beef across the fleet. Go the room, unpack, sit a bit on the little balcony, wander down to the dining room to check out our table and/or the menu. We always do fixed seating. After Muster, we go to the Alchemy Bar and watch the sail away from one of the comfy couches. After dinner, husband hits the casino and I watch the water from the balcony. These little trips are short, and the ships are small, but they are good getaways for people in southern California.
This sums up why you are all a great family....who said, May I please have the flat iron steak? Many kids and adults too have poor manners.... your son (and I’m sure grandkids) are polite and it reflects well on you. Wonderful family, fun cruise....happy for you.
My girls and I have been on many short Carnival Baja Cruises and always enjoy them. We were on the Imagination right after your Inspiration Cruise. I hit the bar right away and asked for a Long Beach Iced Tea and they knew what it was! Can't wait for the Panorama.
Carnival Inspiration was the first cruise ship I went on back in 1996 when it was built! I was a Travel Agent here in New Zealand and they flew a pile of agents from around the world up for 1 of 2 cruises to now where they called them but a 3 day cruise and we loved it!
Glad I found you guys! We just got off the Symphony of Seas and next month will be on the Inspiration, didn't know ehat to expect since we've only done Disney and RCCL thanks for the vlog!
Wow that looks so different inside without the Spruce Goose. That's how long it's been since I've been to Long Beach. I like how they had a miniature version hanging to show the history of the buliding
It was a couple weeks ago. That's funny, I have received a few comments about me looking like my mom, although I've always been told by family and friends I look just like my dad.
Just discovered you guys and your vlog, and I'm loving it! Our next two cruises are the January 11 sailing of the Panorama out of Long Beach and the August 30, 2020 Legend sailing out of Barcelona. Might have to try one or two of the short cruises too, since we just moved to Long Beach and have easy access to the port. Hope to run into you all!
Thank you so much for this vlog. I am going on the Inspiration 09/09/19. My first cruise and feared being a REAL newbie. After this vlog I feel much more assured that all will be well. Thank you for sharing your lovely Family!!
GREAT video! and great reminder to myself that we can board before 2 or 3 pm.. I always think of all the folks getting off and the turn-around. But no more.. next cruise in Oct out of SFO... hoping we can get on early like you did!
You guys seem like tons of fun! We are going on this cruise in November, and you just got us so pumped! Thanks for sharing. Did you guys get the cheers program?
We take the 3 days all the time out of long beach. so much fun. loving the towels in your room, the holes in the card, and it looks like your on a ship in the ocean not the fancy mall. Imagination and Inspiration are a bit older but still a lot of fun. the partys on the pool deck can get very sporty at times. if you go around spring break it is a 3 day solid party. everyone should go on a 3 day. very affordable.
You guys are really cute. Only Royal and Princess. But we book a cruise for December on inspiration so this should be interesting. How long was that muster drill LOL
Inspiration was my 6th cruise back in June, I wasn't impressed. I will say embarkation/disembarkation was the smoothest I have ever been through, but we did have suite privileges. Glad you seem to be enjoying it, I think it'd be funner with a lot of family or friends but it was just our family of 3 onboard and we had bad weather too.
I am goimg to take that same trip in 13 days for my first cruise. I had some questions if any one can answer. Alcohol package is it worth it? If you arive to early to the ship what happens? Thanks for any responses.
you know I know Mathew always get milk. But this video was cute. he says can i start out with milk. keep drinking milk and keep the price down. great videos you guy make.
Omg Jamie, I totally agree. One night in my bed alone would be amazing. Fortunately, my snoring husband sleeps in a separate room, but I have a one year old kicking me all night. 😂😂😂
Thank you for this vlog! Our family is going on 4 day Inspiration cruise in October and trying to get all info we can. Question: did you have assigned time eating or anytime eating? We're thinking of anytime eating. Again thanks!!
I like the size of : 3,000 to 4,000 guests ship , like the conquest class , dream class on carnival & Voyager class - freedom class on royal caribbean * The Oasis class is to BIG for me , to many people
Mrcruisefever1 same! I don’t like rc just because of the videos I see of it just has way too much. And they charge extra for so much. I like the small ships
I love how polite your son is. Kudos for your wonderful family.
Pot suckers! 🤣🤣. That was the best! Matthew is the sweetest boy, such manners when ordering his dinner!
I’m about to sail away on the inspiration as their newest media manager! thanks for such a descriptive and informative video so I can get a better idea of what to expect to live on for the next six months!
Wow!! 6 months on a ship sounds awesome!!
I have a soft spot for The Inspiration it was our first cruise and our honeymoon in 2005❤
Loved watching the vlog. I took my 8-year-old granddaughter on my first cruise this past April. We had such a great time. You guys look like you put in a long day. Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs to come. Thanks for sharing!!
"You're killin' me Smalls!" I love it!!

Sounds amazing Kay!! Thanks for watching!!!
Loved the first day. You sure made it a great one. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the rest of the cruise...

Thanks Tom!!! Appreciate the compliment!!!
Watching your videos is so great ! Lots of information for me as a new cruiser
Well that was enjoyable! There is nothing like spending fun times with the family! Thanks for sharing!!
Just love your vlogs. We watch each and everyone. Love the content and the lovely family. Great show, keep them coming. From South Africa.
Thanks for watching Gavin!!!
I am dying of laughter at the lack of enthusiasm from the girls and trying to avoid the camera. That would be my daughter too. 🤣🤣
You guys are great, Matthew is so polite and seems like a super young man! I love cruising and now, I can't wait until we sail again :)
My girls and I have been on many short Carnival Baja Cruises and always enjoy them. We were on the Imagination right after your Inspiration Cruise. I hit the bar right away and asked for a Long Beach Iced Tea and they knew what it was! Can't wait for the Panorama.
Hi Duke!!! We are excited for Panorama too!!!
I just love you guys. I ROLL WITH THE HOLE TOO! GREAT VLOG SHARON AT SEA!!!!!!!

Loved watching the 207 videos, then the 2019 one! How Matt has grown!
Omygosh! Sharon and her mom are so alike!
They are like twins OMG!!!
OMG!!!
You guys are so cute! I agree about sleeping separate once in awhile, after 23 years it’s a nice break😉
This was the first cruise ship I was ever on 10 yrs ago. This ship was going out of Tampa. I love this ship.
I always arrive to the port early around 10:30 or 11!
I love those rules!! Make good decisions and don’t interrupt others experiences. ♥️
You guys are great! I’m always excited to see your videos. You’re living your best lives woohoo 🙌
Glad I found you guys! We just got off the Symphony of Seas and next month will be on the Inspiration, didn't know ehat to expect since we've only done Disney and RCCL thanks for the vlog!
How wonderful. Looks like fun... I can't wait to take my grandkids!!
Long Beach is one of the easiest ports to get through. Love it!!!
Wow that looks so different inside without the Spruce Goose. That's how long it's been since I've been to Long Beach. I like how they had a miniature version hanging to show the history of the buliding
Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to get on the ship next year!
My goodness, Sharon, you look just like your mom! When was this cruise? Thanks for the video and taking us along with you!! :-)
It was a couple weeks ago. That's funny, I have received a few comments about me looking like my mom, although I've always been told by family and friends I look just like my dad.
@@SharonatSeaTravel Well, bring your dad next time so we can see :-). Had your grand daughters been on a cruise before?
Great vlog, as usual! And love seeing the new terminal.
It’s interesting that the dome used to house the spruce goose!
Just discovered you guys and your vlog, and I'm loving it! Our next two cruises are the January 11 sailing of the Panorama out of Long Beach and the August 30, 2020 Legend sailing out of Barcelona.

You're welcome. Enjoy your cruise.
I have to admit every time I see that dome I think Howard Hughes and the Spruce Goose.
It's the HERCULES!
I’m glad they have easy safety drill now in 2023. ( check in at your location - done in 2 - 3 minutes )
Hey guys!! Great meeting you and the family and thanks for the "shout out" in the video... :)
Hi Mike, great meeting you too..hope to meet up again at the Port of Long Beach.
Hope you had a great cruise with your family!
GREAT video! and great reminder to myself that we can board before 2 or 3 pm.. I always think of all the folks getting off and the turn-around. But no more.. next cruise in Oct out of SFO... hoping we can get on early like you did!
I love the fantasy class ships also. Great first day.
your vlogs are always great nice to see the family
Nice video! I hope your family had a wonderful time.
Sweet family trip! Thanks for sharing...
Oh my goodness!! We can’t wait to sail on this ship in a few months
You guys seem like tons of fun! We are going on this cruise in November, and you just got us so pumped! Thanks for sharing. Did you guys get the cheers program?
Yes we did.
I loved the vlog and I can't wait for next one
As always, awesome video. Thanks for sharing 😀
OMG, that was my first cruise in 1998 for my 15th birthday!
I have been on 7 and I’m 10
miss you guys
I cruised out of long Beach in 2008 on a eastbound Panama canal cruise on the Disney magic
Now I want a Guys burger and a Miami Vice!!!
My favorite moment of this vlog was when Sharon had her husband voice 😂 ps your son is growing up handsome really bigger now since last vlog I saw
Ben Lambert has been my favorite cruise director thus far! I had him on the Fantasy last year
Loved this Vlog! Great job guys!

Helllo from Gilbert! New follower! love your videos. We are going on our first cruise Oct 7th on Royals Mariner of the Sea!
Hello Neighbor!!! Thanks for watching!!! Have fun on Mariner!!!
Great voice Jamie you sing it.
I don’t know.....I think you had more fun your first Royal. I did two Carnival cruises and one Royal. I am now Loyal to Royal.
I made a vlog on the same ship did you guys see the Doug Williams stand up Hahahaha
You Guys vids are great, have a great one
Enjoyed the video. They allowed you video in the terminal?
Yes, just not in the security line and we always ask employees if it's ok to record them.
I enjoyed this video!!!!
Do you guys buy the Alcohol Package? How much for it?
Enjoy!! 😊
Our last muster drill on the Inspiration went pretty quick. It must have been the no shows.
You guys are really cute. Only Royal and Princess. But we book a cruise for December on inspiration so this should be interesting. How long was that muster drill LOL
Our arrival time is @ 2pm should we go early to try to get on board?
Do y’all have a group cruise planned?
We do!! October 13,2019 and October 24, 2020!!
Jamie from Sharon at Sea what cruise???
I was wondering why it was so bright and you guys missed the sail away but I remember that cruises leaving out CA tends to leave later, right?
Yes..the late sail away is a bummer if you have early dining.
@@JamiefromSharonatSeaTravel good to know! Thank you Jamie!
Great video as always

Dang I was on the cruise at the same time as u
I am goimg to take that same trip in 13 days for my first cruise. I had some questions if any one can answer. Alcohol package is it worth it? If you arive to early to the ship what happens? Thanks for any responses.
I laughed so hard when Jamie said U guys suck. Don't ever cruise with me again. Classic
you know I know Mathew always get milk. But this video was cute. he says can i start out with milk. keep drinking milk and keep the price down. great videos you guy make.
Omg Jamie, I totally agree. One night in my bed alone would be amazing. Fortunately, my snoring husband sleeps in a separate room, but I have a one year old kicking me all night. 😂😂😂
carnival inspiration was built in 1996 and was renovated in 2013, 2016 and again in 2018
What editing software do you you?
Adobe Premier Pro...thanks for watching!!!!
Thank you for this vlog! Our family is going on 4 day Inspiration cruise in October and trying to get all info we can. Question: did you have assigned time eating or anytime eating? We're thinking of anytime eating.
Again thanks!!
Great vlog
Loved the vlog.
How long is the safety drill ?
Usually about 15 minutes..this one was closer to 30 waiting on all the people that don't show up on time!!
What made you do first seating?
What part of AZ? We live NorthEast of Tucson. Just wondering if we could make the drive same day!
We are in Goodyear, AZ!!!
Where did you purchase that bag that was on your luggage.
Too hazy to see the radom on top San Pedro Hill, but nice view down Long Beach to Belmont Shore where I use to live.
We just did this cruise July 8th!! We're we sailing together??
We were 2 weeks earlier...
Good times! see you at Monday NL
Sharon, what sunniest are you wearing? I lovvvvvve them!!!
Soooooo you can take a drink in the muster drill??!!
No...It isn't allowed.
How does a couple get on the love and marriage show?
Audience volunteer. They take the couple married the longest, the shortest and usually the crowd votes on the last couple.Thanks for watching!!!
@@SharonatSeaTravel thanks so much. Love your videos. You've taught me so much
First! I want to "role with the hole" and a Sharon At Sea lanyard. How do I get one?
Have a great sail you guys!!
I vote we make signs that say "I was later to muster" and make people wear them!
A lot of mischief happening in the back row of the van 😂...
Yes there was Whitney!!! lol
Inside cabin with the 4 of us? We AlWAYS keep the beds split. There's like zero floor space if we don't.
I like the size of : 3,000 to 4,000 guests ship , like the conquest class , dream class on carnival & Voyager class - freedom class on royal caribbean
* The Oasis class is to BIG for me , to many people
Mrcruisefever1 same! I don’t like rc just because of the videos I see of it just has way too much. And they charge extra for so much. I like the small ships
Sorry I asked b4 i watched more of the video
No doubt you are your mother's daughter 😉 you even have same mannerisms 💞
I want a significant other that wants to cruise. My ex refused to go on a cruise "dead or alive". 😒🙄
Woah is this the carnival immigration?? (That’s what the comedian said)
Sharon you Mom spit you out...wow you look just like her..who are the 2 beautiful young ladies? (Relationship to you)
