    Just found out about repositioning cruises and to my surprise, the cruise that I’ll be on “NW Prima” will be repositioning back to NY from Italy the same day I was to come back home to Texas so I extended our stay for hubby and I and will be enjoying the return cruise at 87% discount. All in all we’ll be on Prima 22days total…Retirement is wonderful😊

    Did you ever consider Freighter Cruises ? You have a cabin and live and eat with the crew. Rooms are fairly large. A good way to chill out , read books, relax , ect. Like getting back to basics with time to relax, reflect and catch up. I believe that that wi fi for free which is great .

    Leisurely, money-saving cruise with multiple food options, or 12+ hour flight sardined into Coach with airline food. Hmm 🤔

    Wow I cannot believe how timely these two videos that I've seen the first one being rewards points and now this one This is perfect I'll be selling my house on the 25th and it's like this perfect I can do a cruise and a trans-pacific will be perfect.
    I just subscribe to your cruise channel and I think all your other channels maybe I'll see anyway thank you all so much for these.

    Love it! A repositioning cruise is definitely on my "to do" list. It's fantastic point that your cruise channel is basically paying for your cruise travel. Another good point of encouragement to get a channel going!

  • @Star-Boarder
    @Star-Boarder 7 місяців тому +2

    I'm in! If you have the time and money, this is ideal. I'd sail and hang out in Europe and sail back on the return route.

    Cruise is the best vacation option If we do math right this is even cheaper than resort stay. Good share my friend

    We are taking a cruise from UK to UK in 2025 and then a 2nd one from Spain back to the USA. Excellent way to spend 2 weeks with no worries and cheaper than plane tickets home! We do have 100 shares of Carnival too! We will be using it for an 8 day, 6 day, 9 day and 15 days

    Good information. We are discovering that the mandatory gratuities are budget killers. How do you factor the mandatory ship gratuities into your budget and/or have you figured out a way to get them waived? If this is addressed on your cruise channel, please direct me to the relevant videos there.

    • @FTRnetwork
      @FTRnetwork 6 місяців тому

      You can ask the gratuity fees to be removed from your account. We just did a cruise 2 months ago. Very simple, they don't ask questions or make a big deal about it

    What do you do about the ‘fancy’ nights on the ship? You don’t talk about fancy clothes much. Also, can you do a video sometime about your planning process and how far ahead you plan your travels? Thanks!

    Hey love your videos! Just wanted to give you a heads up about a deal on hello landing. If you book your stay before the end of April you can get a free membership. A savings of $399. We just booked with them for a stay in May. I remembered you mentioned you were going to try them too. Also different people and face book have a coupon for$250 off your months rent! Awesome savings! Hope you get a great landing !!

    We're taking a repositioning cruise from Southampton to Florida this year with Celebrity. Apart from 3 nights in Halong Bay, Vietnam, this will be our first cruise of any type. We're really looking forward to it. Cruising has never really appealed as the stops aren't long enough for our type of exploring. Transatlantic, on the other hand, is a great way of travelling and much more fun than flying.

    Cruising has continued to cost more and more. The transatlantic are costing more like $2500 to $3000 for a balcony for two.

    So you shared how much your cruises were Did that include gratuities? because that's a big chunk of change as well.
    We booked our first repositioning Cruise for April of 2025 going from Tampa To Civi tavecchia Italy The price is started at 750 Each then the port fees For additional 200 each And then the gratuities were over 500 for a grand total of 2,400 for the cruise and that's just for a cabin midship ninth deck let me know I would be curious to know❤ thank you

    @wgarnsey 7 місяців тому +1

    So, from a finances (taxes) perspective. Are your cruise expenses considered business expenses? Since this and your Cruise specific channel is part of your business model. I think these are incurred expenses required for generating UA-cam content. Since it is tax week, this is my focus.

    • @prettygeorgialady1249
      @prettygeorgialady1249 7 місяців тому

      I think the course they offer on UA-cam will be helpful for business planning.

  • @edflaherty1887
    @edflaherty1887 7 місяців тому

    Make a lot of sense when you talk about the $4,000.00/ month budget. For the whole cruise there are little to no extra expenses and everything is provided for you.

    How do you manage rough seas? I hear just about all Transatlantic/Pacific cruises hit rough patches and it’s not ideal for those prone to sea sickness.

      I use the pressure point wrist bands and candied ginger. I’d also consider motion sickness tablets for evening / sleep but the other 2 worked fine
