Good Morning Don! Glad to see you not so fatigued. I’m glad you got some rest. Thank you for sharing all your experiences. I look forward to you sharing all that you see and do every day!😊
You are such a kind man. I don’t know you, but I can tell you are a genuine human being. We would definitely be on board for a group cruise. I love watching several vloggers but have only met paradeejay ( who were kind also kind) on the pride by accident. So cool.
I was in Cozumel on the same day. I seen your ship. I can’t believe I was that close at the same time as you. Yes it poured down rain on our way back also.
Don, you may not remembe me. It was an ABSOLUTE PLEASURE to meet you this week. I saw you and Tony half a dozen times adn you were nice enought to take a photo with my silly self before we got on the ship. Thank you- I truly enjoy being around great people. EECC, DON, La Lida Loca, Mountain Man Travel. I felt like a celebrity wtih you guys. Translation----keep up the good work and GOD BLESS!!!!
What a wonderful review. Been to Cozumel twice and have never visited this place. Next time, I definitely will! I am so glad that you are having a good time because you definitely deserve it! You are definitely loved! ❤
Hi Don happy crusing the last time I was in cozamul I went to senior frogs got pretty tipsy ,but this next comment people might not be so happy about my husband who works in the safety industry he lectures educates and installs and inspects security fire panels to major companies Carnival ships were one and he knew weeks ago that ncl was going back to the mandatory muster drill and don't be surprised if the other cruise lines follow suite and here is why a lot of people were not watching the video just clicking yes ,so there were meetings about it they felt if a disaster did happen there would be cahos also my husband pointed out ,it would just take that one who didn't watch to sue the cruise line because they didn't know what to do . So this way the cruise line can protect themselves . I know it sucks and many of us have see it many times over but for a first timer and kids it makes sense
My concern, from watching etc, is that in person muster doesn’t guarantee anyone knows what to do either. And, yes, I’m including those on the Concordia that said they were experienced cruisers and yet dnt extpolate what they knew for their new environment!
The pristine and comfortable muster drill will never be replicated when a real emergency is encountered. Flooded or smoke-filled compartments and passageways, power outages, severely pitching and rolling decks, vicious weather conditions, darkness and pure chaos could all exist simultaneously. More people than not will be clueless and panicking and that could be compounded by a lot of passengers who have been aggressively getting their drink on. The only truly effective training would involve training that simulates adverse conditions.
@@salty_flightdeck_cpo If you an find a copy of burning cold, in a library, it’s worth a read. It’s the true story of the princedam off the coast of Alaska. For what it is worth, no lives were lost but fire, cold, and high winds were definitely recorded.
You met my daughter Sunday night in the casino. When you were in Sydney harbor watching the fireworks, my husbands childhood neighbor was in the middle of the bridge setting off the fireworks. He is required to be there in case of problems. He goes all over the world doing wonderful displays. Enjoy this sea day. It was 7 degrees F. Today up to -2 degrees F. Now. Much colder in North East USA.
We always go to Nachi Cocom, next door to Mr Sanchos. They limit attendance so that everyone gets a chair and umbrella, and the included food is great...
Unfortunately the NCL's dock at the older town port area. We found the shops down at the other dock much more relaxed (and reasonable prices). You missed the most fun we had in any port by going down and renting the two person speed boats.
Hey Don, doing a 21 day from NY to South Hampton with stops in Iceland, Scotland, Greenland on island Princess. Have you been to these places? Any suggestions
The kids on the island probably could have used some support. Possibly next time consider sponsoring a young, up and coming athlete, purchasing a school uniform so the young ones can go to school, supporting the local youth artist initiative, who rely on volunteer donations. Or the Developmental Schools who struggle with funding and are happy to receive any donations. The people who work at Paradise Beach, Mr. Sanchos, all of the tourism on the island, including the taxi drivers, have children who may need something. It is a feel good kind of thing and you really help and empower the youth.
Love Cozumel, have been there multiple times. Hubby loves diving in Cozumel. Beware diver gear, had our cc information stolen and weird charges…..don’t buy the jewelry, it is toc. Other than that enjoy!
Please explain to people that the laws of the flag of the ship apply if they are the victim of a crime onboard. Do you really want a third world country investigating a crime? Time for American Cruise Ship Companies to flag ALL their ships in the USA? Crew members would also benefit from USA Labor Laws.
@@samsabre1664 If you are the victim of a crime on a Cruise ship do you want a third world country to be the country that does the investigation? I think not.
@Digital Nomad Casa no, and I certainly understand what you are saying. Unfortunately, though, the ship companies are highly unlikely to change their port of registration just to appease their customers who might have a criminal act committed against them.
Love Cozumel ♥I always go to Paradise Beach! Great times!!

We have been to Cozumel many times and have really enjoyed Playa Mia beach also.

Paradise Beach is a great place! Nice large pool, nice sandy stretch of beach..It really IS like paradise there!
I'm curious do you snorkel and if so how was the snorkeling there?

You look so happy Don. I love it!

Absolutely LOVE Paradise Beach! Headed back in November!
paradise beach was a blast!!
So proud of Josh, he did a great job Don! Sorry I couldn’t be there with you Tony, Josh, Scott, and everyone else! Looks like a great time!
We really enjoy your videos Don. We'd love it if you could take us with you to some of the stops you go to.
We were there this past April. It was everything you said, and yes, the coconut shrimp is amazing!
Sounds wonderful....
We spent Christmas Day 2018 at Paradise Beach and we had an amazing day! It was a wonderful place.
Thank you brother Don. So glad for y'all. Bless you 🙏
Been to Paradise and Sancho's numerous times and Sancho's is the hands down winner when it comes to coconut shrimp
I totally enjoyed my time at Paradise Beach Club last October!
Sounds like a great place. I will definitely keep it in mind.
I love Cozumel! I also LOVE Mr. Sancho's!!!
Hello Don hope you are having a great time. I'm very jealous
Sounds WONDERFUL!!! we will have to check it out the next time. We are in Cozumel.🚢
Glad you had a good time. Hoping to see more about the activities with the Vloggers. Have a great rest of the cruise.
So glad you are having fun.
Oh Don!!! It’s -30* in Nepean right now! I’ll be in Cozumel later this month!!
Love Paradise Beach! Food was amazing and the fish tacos were my favorite! We were there Oct ‘22.
Love Paradise beach! Never had a bad time there. Glad the cruise has been so much fun, and you decided to jump on.
We was on the Ruby Princess there that day

I’m going to be there on Weds. love it there!
I like Paradise Beach Resort... go there everytime I am there
I been to Cozumel twice, one on a cruise and once a day trip in Mexico
So Don /cue music/ do you like pina coladas? And getting caught in the rain?
Paradise Beach is the best!

SO GLAD YOU HAD A BLAST!!!
What a great cabin. You must be important.

Are they both quiet / laid back ? I don’t want lots of loud music.
Looks like the same weather I had in late December!
Unfortunately the NCL's dock at the older town port area. We found the shops down at the other dock much more relaxed (and reasonable prices). You missed the most fun we had in any port by going down and renting the two person speed boats.
We are booked there in May! Glad to hear the great review
We are going in October. Did you book directly through them? I don’t have reservations yet.
Hubby said he booked through their website!
Thank you 😊
What fun you had 😊
Heh Don, when you get home could you check on the price drop of your group cruise Sept. 19th ? I would like you to get our price reduced.
Hey, just came across this. We were just in Cozumal (we were there on January 31)! What was your favourite part?
That’s sweet 😀
@p¡nned by Don's Family Vacations your welcome
Are tou complaining about rain?? It’s -45 degrees in Quebec city! 🥶🥶🥶🥶. Enjoy the rain! 😉😀
Were you in the Haven Suite. We are booked on the breakaway in March. Just wondering how the muster drill is for them. And how hectic is checking in.
🙏🏻❤️😃👍🏻😊
I would love to cruise with you
Where can we get info about them?
Hey Don, doing a 21 day from NY to South Hampton with stops in Iceland, Scotland, Greenland on island Princess. Have you been to these places? Any suggestions
I love Paradise Beach. The only thing I’ll do in Cozumel.
Do you snorkel? I'm wondering how the snorkeling is on Paradise Beach.
@@mamawanderlust6000 I’ve never snorkeled there but you might check their website.
Good morning ! Is it an excursion available on the boat or is it the locals ?
Hi Don have you had any problems with your room Stuart not filling coffee cartridges in your room coffee maker?
Every time I’m on a cruise I start my videos by: don’t want to upset anyone, but…. Well jokes on me… it’s -43 in Montreal right now… and I’m upset 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, it is damn cold in here
Just got off cruise, dreading landing at YUL today!
@@migrose6547 it should better tomorrow at least
@@laetitiavanblaeren6062 well at least it's February now, in the home stretch
Get ready for the cold 🥶 here in Ontario Don. 😁
Is cozumel usually that overcast?
Can you believe it a small box of Alka-Seltzer on NCL cruise ship with 12 tablets $48.50 unbelievable there’s no shame for businesses anymore
Good Morning Don
How much was it to get in to the place you went? I'll be going to Cozomel in a couple weeks.
there's a great place to eat Ponch's Backyard.
It was -15 F with 25 mph winds overnight. Pease bring us more coverage of beach and pool.
Good morning don

Where is he at
👍🏾
How was the Mexican Tobacco Police.
Love Cozumel, have been there multiple times. Hubby loves diving in Cozumel. Beware diver gear, had our cc information stolen and weird charges…..don’t buy the jewelry, it is toc. Other than that enjoy!
The food is much better at Mr. Sancho.
Where is paradise beach at
Cozumel !!!
Beach
You tell us which ships are around you, but you neglect to mention the ship that you are actually on!!
That’s a lied Mr. Sancho is not loud with music.
They do 2025 sign me up now

Time for American Cruise Ship Companies to flag ALL their ships in the USA? Crew members would also benefit from USA Labor Laws.
They would have to register as US vessels and be subject to the many more laws, fees, and taxes. Most aren't willing to pay it.
@@samsabre1664 If you are the victim of a crime on a Cruise ship do you want a third world country to be the country that does the investigation? I think not.

Mr. Sancho do not blast music. Misleading information about Mr. Sancho. Stop listening to other and learn how to gather information about Mr. Sancho.
Cozumel is such a waste.
Love Paradise Beach. As a non-drinker love their low admission $$$ and low $$$ minimum. Lunch covers it!
What are you mad at now? They don't have your favorite baby formula?
