This is in response to a couple of comments that have been made on the last couple of videos about Chris not responding to questions or comments… Most travel content UA-camrs have their channel as their full time job, and engaging with the audience is part of that job, built into their work day. I think/hope that most of Chris’ audience appreciates that he has a full time job (and really, more of a job and a half based on the hours/days cruise crew have to work) and that this is a side job/passion which probably takes a big chunk of his rest time. I’m willing to forego the audience engagement to be able to see the behind the scenes life that can only be put forth by someone doing the job. There are tons of travel content creators putting out travel vlogs, pretty much the same stuff over and over. Chris gives us something unique, so I’m more than willing to watch and not expect him to go over every comment and respond back. If he quit his ship job and created content full time, yes, he’d have time to engage with us, but we’d also lose the interesting perspective only a crew member can bring. We can’t have it both ways. Keep it up, Chris! Your core audience appreciates all that you do.
Hey Chris! I hope you'll come across this message, as I have a heartfelt request to make. Ever since my family and I enjoyed that fabulous Caribbean cruise in January, I've been an avid fan of yours! The staff were simply incredible, and I can't help but wish we had the chance to meet you in person. In your upcoming vlog, would you be so kind as to give us a tour of the main dining room area? And if it's not too much trouble, I'd be thrilled if you could track down a wonderful waiter named Ajay, who took exceptional care of us throughout our journey. Seeing him featured in one of your vlogs would truly mean the world to me. Thanks a ton!
Another amazing Chris Wong video!!!! Imagine our surprise when you walked past us while y’all were strolling down the red carpet laid out on Calle Larios in Malaga. Gina can now claim celebrity status due to her cameo in a Chris Wong video. 😂😂 It’s so fun to watch you and the rest of the casino team that we enjoyed spending 12 nights with on this transatlantic cruise. At some point you need to convince Karen, one of the Craps dealers, to be in your video. She was so funny and entertaining while playing craps in the casino. Enjoyed seeing Robert and Dylan in this one. Reann is still my favorite to watch. She is so hilarious with her Insta-Photos. Can’t wait to see your experience going through drydock. Thanks again Chris for all the great videos.
Loving the videos, looking forward to the dry dock ones. Betting you're the first vlogger to show dry dock! Please give more info on the restaurants. If the place is really crappy, give your subscribers the name of the place so we don't accidentally warder in like you did. Do the same with the good ones. Your opinion counts!
Hi Chris!!! 🙋♀ Coveralls suit you. 👍 But seriously. I look forward to what you do during the dry dock stop. Just wondering how long you will be in dry dock? You never said in this Vlog.😃
Beautiful start to your Mediterranean voyages! The drydock uniform is quite a change from your usual work outfits. Lots of interesting content to come!
Thanks for a fantastic vlog, Chris. It was nice to see a little piece of those 3 cities. I'm looking forward to the dry dock videos to learn all about it. Our first ever cruise is on Explorer this October and she is just out of dry dock, so it will be nice to see some of the process.
We’re going on a Celebrity Edge cruise leaving out of Barcelona this year so I am watching everything I can about the ports. Thanks for taking us along to see what’s out there!
Sagrada Familia is not old, it is around 150years. It's build using only donations, the entry ticket is considered also a donation. That's why the works are sometimes almost stoped but thanks to tourism it's going quicker And no it's not a cathedral, it's a church. Barcelona cathedral is really old and white close to Las Ramblas.
Good afternoon Chris just to let you know that I got your newest and latest video of you in Barcelona. I loved it. I love you contact your video was beautiful. It was very well explain and understandable or understood. Thank you for your videos. I love you I respect you I deeply appreciate what you do. Hope to see you soon.
Enjoyed this vlog having been to each of these ports. I have to say though that my heart was in my mouth with your colleagues handbag in Barcelona as I know how bad the pick pockets are.
Spent a week in Lloret de Mar.. In 84 company trip..(Army).. Water was so clear I could count my toes from 6 feet of water..Bull fights in Barcelona became a bore after the third fight fight... Same fight after each fight was like hearing the same song over and over again
Never been- gracious 😊 1st city seemed the most modern 2nd city water/boats no way to cold 3rd city impressive but in open market your food choice seemed best for me also. Waiting for more!!
Hello Chris, I would like to know if we can play pickleball on the Symphony of the Seas, if we can, you should make a short video on this new sport taking place in a lot of RCI ships! Thank you.
Just be careful with your camera & phones pickpockets are around ( i know of friends had their phone snatched out their hands ) Great video from al, the ports you visited 😊 looks nice and warm 😊 the rest of Europe needs the Warmth 🙏🙏 send it this way . Have a Good weekend 🥰
Much of the big cities in Europe (IMO Paris is the worst, but still well worth visiting, many times over) have the pickpocket problems. Most of the time it is because people are a bit careless and don't pay attention like they should.
Wong / Wang / Huang as you are a Brit Spain is one of the most favorite holiday spots for the English due to it,s proximity favorable Mediterranean climate inexpensive cost of living for most of the time during the year one can take an EasyJet / Ryan jet from UK for a return fare of 25 pounds RCCL sails out from Barcelona harbor which can be accessed by public transit-- city bus and also the 15 Euro hop on / hop off tour bus right on the opposite side of the cathedral there are many small restaurants serving tapas / paella at a reasonable price go to visit the soccer pitch of Barcelona which is world renown
It would be interesting to hear about your internactions with Europeans, esp Spanish speaking, passengers vs Americans. Bet its a "world of difference" BTW while I had been to BCN, had not been to either of the other Spainish Cities, to glad you vloged there.
We were in Barcelona several years ago and the scaffolding on the Cathedral was all in the front. The Pope was visiting so we did not get to go inside. Maybe you could do a video on that? Not sure if it's allowed. Thanks for sharing.
La Segrada Familia supposed to be finished in 2026... That's what they say but I don't believe it'll be finished either😊 I know because I'm going to be there in about a month on the celebrity 😢constellation after it repositions

Thank you so much for your vlogs. We look forward to embarking Symphony in 6 weeks.
I was in Barcelona in October 2018. I still remember everywhere we walked. Beware of pickpocketers on Las Ramblas !

Love Barcelona and the amazing Gaudi architecture dotted around the city. Inside the la Sagrada familia is amazing.

Nice video. For as much fun as you have I know you workers have to work your ass off every single day. Much deserved time off to get off ship!

thank you Chris
So glad you're in Europe now Chris. 😊 I love Spain 🇪🇸 and so happy to have been there too.

Thanks for the video. See you on 23 April ✌🏻
On April 22 jewel of the seas is doing a crossing to Europe. I was looking for u at coco cay the last time symphony was beside jewel
My daughter suggests Babble for learning languages. She used it for Romanian.
Enjoyed this vlog having been to each of these ports. I have to say though that my heart was in my mouth with your colleagues handbag in Barcelona as I know how bad the pick pockets are.
Enjoy
Hey, I enjoy all of your videos. What size shirt and sweatshirt do you wear?
Spent a week in Lloret de Mar.. In 84 company trip..(Army).. Water was so clear I could count my toes from 6 feet of water..Bull fights in Barcelona became a bore after the third fight fight... Same fight after each fight was like hearing the same song over and over again
Hi chris... seeing Spain harbour walk for the first time...❤
And hi to Dylan from South Africa... where i am from ...🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
LOVE Barcelona!
That cathedral was under construction 10 years ago also!
Never been- gracious 😊 1st city seemed the most modern 2nd city water/boats no way to cold 3rd city impressive but in open market your food choice seemed best for me also. Waiting for more!!
Sailed out of Malaga to the Canary Islands.
Chris, how was the crossing overall ?. How was the weather ? Thinking about doing this one next year.
Very curious about drydocking. 😎
Great vids Chris. Looks like your enjoying The Med.
Question - what currency are you using while on the ship? Is it Euro?
You never know in European ports. We end in June. Was cool when we arrived. Then after 12 day cruise it was warm !
Hi Chris, I enjoy your videos of the places you visit. FYI, Christopher Columbus is not Saint Christopher.
At some point, go inside Sagrata Familia. It is stunning.
I like to read about the cities I visit and research places I want to visit. I know you're busy and not always able to.
Chris, do you enjoy travel today as much as you did when you began?
If you ever stop in Miami, ask for a meat empanada, we have all kinds
Hello Chris, I would like to know if we can play pickleball on the Symphony of the Seas, if we can, you should make a short video on this new sport taking place in a lot of RCI ships!

We were told the Sagrada Familia would be finished in 2026.

What position are you in ship?
I will see you in June
I love Cornish Pasties (I'm an American). lol
Why is there red carpet on the ground?
Do you use euros for port purchases?
It's Europe, they use Euros
the meat is gammon (pork)
La Segrada Familia supposed to be finished in 2026... That's what they say but I don't believe it'll be finished either😊

Thanks for the tour Chris. You have to try the ham that is hanging everywhere. Is that Serano Ham?
It will be Jamon Iberico, was there in 2018
@@elainebyrne1039 Yup what Elaine said. You have to try that.
Sagrada Familia is supposed to be finished in 2026, in honor of the 100th year of Gaudi's death.
