    I don't need a full ship tour. Your strength is teaching us how to do stuff and perhaps inside tips and tricks. I even like how you show us the boarding process and which lines to go in. Then when it comes to port days, I like seeing your adventures when you do things on your own and not ship tours. Even though we do several cruises a year, I feel I'm always learning something from you! There are other vloggers out there doing ship tours and I'll check them out if I want to see the NCL Prima in all its glory.

    Hey Jay, I enjoyed watching your embarkation day on the Prima. I believe I saw you speaking with Bram Seas The Day, another talented vlogger, concerning the value of the NCL Deluxe Beverage package. It is indeed a fantastic deal, and even increasing the package all the way up to Deluxe, if your viewers enjoy drinking fine Cliquot champagnes and amazing wines, even the expensive ice wines, as well as lovely cognacs, and unlimited Starbucks, they will definitely get all the bang for their extra bucks spent.

  • @balconiesandbellinistravel4034

    Have fun! The NCL Drink package cannot be beat. I went from NCL to Royal and almost passed out at how much their drink package was! Completely unnecessary price gouging.

    • @JSHIPLIFE
      @JSHIPLIFE  Рік тому +6

      Agreed 100%

    • @kprenesti
      @kprenesti Рік тому +1

      Totally agree! Even as someone who doesn't drink that much, you miss that easy, "Ooh, sounds like an interesting drink. Sure I'll try it! YOLO!" experience when you don't have the package and have to pay full price for that YOLO gamble. That said, RCCL's liquor package cost as much as the cruise itself. Ridiculous! I did not get a package on my Royal cruise, nor did I do any specialty dining. (NCL giving people 2 specialty dining credits for like $20 is Excellent!)

  • @mike07646
    @mike07646 Рік тому +1

    That "Barge" that was next to the ship is likely a fueling tanker. When it is alongside, they typically close off that side/area of the ship so that no cigarettes or anything else has a chance to go over the side of the ship. That's likely why the ropes were up while that was going on. I've seen it numerous times on NCL while in ports, but once they are done you are free to roam around.

    Yes do a cruise ship tour if all areas. I have been searching for one and have yet to see someone do one from on board. So far I've only seen clips from things that have been published online. From what I can see no one has done an independent walk through. I think you would have tons of views because there aren't any out there yet.

Order your food on the screen and they bring it to you. J you took the word pizazz right out of my mouth. Royal does have amazing pool deck. Especially the kids area. Agreed J. That guava passion orange juice is delish. Nice shout out J. Danny and Taylor from Harr travel are amazing. Thanks for sharing and see you next video🛳

    I am surprised to see the line for unlabeled luggage. On all my cruises, we always had to have the luggage labeled with the luggage tag printed myself or sent from the cruise line.
    On our last cruise on the NCL Getaway, our arrival time to the cruise terminal I selected during online checkin was 10:30am, but no one ever checked.

    Howdy! Love your videos! I'm more interested in the ship experiences rather than a ship tour. There are others who have done ship tours of Prima; if people want that, they can go watch others' videos, but the videos about the experiences on the actual ship (and the associated extra costs about those experiences) are fewer. Thanks for enjoying it for us! That said, I have a question: are drinks ordered via the tablet in Indulge included in the Free at Sea package? I've heard they're not included in the self-serve wine/beer areas. Thanks!
