Great video man! I went on my first cruise a few years ago out of Baltimore. I think it was carnival's pride ship. Was run, didn't do alot of excursions because it was my wife and I's first time out on a cruise but super enjoyable. I think next we're going to try Royal Caribbean.
Highly suggest it! This is just the first of a few videos, we go into detail so you'll know exactly what to expect if you decide to go. Parking is very secure with police and security guards.
This was fantastic - I love that you were able to tour the whole ship while waiting for your rooms - seems like you got there really early - how early could you board ?? I’ve only ever done the Disney Cruiser and we sailed from Port Canaveral but I’ve wanted to sail from Baltimore - super convenient. Was it tough to have the kids sleeping over you for all those days ?? Thanks for sharing !!
For some crazy reason we REALLY lucked out with getting on early! We were actually on time too. We boarded about an hour earlier than we thought we could go on, but they let us in right away. It worked out great! Having the kids sleep over us wasn't hard at all, especially with the boat slowing rocking....you fall right alseep! During the day we could lift the bunks up so we could freely pass by without hitting our heads. It was much easier than we thought it would be. You can't beat the convenience of the Baltimore port too!
Magnet fishing seems to be a total hit or miss now! I need to somehow get people to drop things in the water. Winter videos are tough, but thankfully it won't be winter much longer!!!
Damn Boss That's awesome you guys were in the neighborhood Right there at Fort Mchenry We will be on the ship next year enjoy guys Lol Check the menu for a crab cake review
@@ReelJayB Most likely?? me and my friend were hermits mostly. the most we did ship wise was hit up the windjammer. i the girl with short-blue hair! ill have to msg you a picture!
Absolutely nothing to be worried about. If he doesn't want to go out, the room has a tv to keep him occupied and he'll love ording room service. My youngest was completely content hanging out in the room and he loved the room service. There's also spaces on the boat that can be a bit quieter or less busy. Hope you guys have a great time!!!
@@ReelJayBwe are going to bring some card games and travel games for the older 2, they are pretty good about keeping occupied. what about food. I see there is no sorrentos. can they get to the solarium cafe? is there a place for milkshakes on board?
@@TurnAndSplat3888 We brought games too, it worked out great. The solarium cafe is 18+ but room service is 24 hours a day, you just call in to there. It's a small fee for room service, so if we didn't feel like paying it or wanted to walk, my wife and I would go to the solarium cafe and bring pizza down to our room for the kids if they were hungry. I didn't see milshakes, but there is a soft serve ice cream machine on deck 9 by the pool.
I’m doing a similar 12 day cruise with my wife from Baltimore on RC. I guess you will have to be creative with your wife with private time in the cabin. No more Key Bridge.
@@ReelJayB Thanks for your video. I’ve done several cruises out of Baltimore and I love it’s only an hour from my house, however, I’ve never done a 12 day cruise and it’s been at least 10 years since our last cruise and 15 years on RC.
Jay we had the same cruise out of Baltimore, had thanksgiving on the ship. Enjoy we had 8 days Very Good Time !
No way!! Where did you guys cruise to? We just got back today, I have quite a few videos to edit. We had a blast!
@@ReelJayB all of the Caribbean islands
Our very 1st cruise was to Alaska on Vision of the Seas 28 years ago. We loved the ship.
Wow! Alaska is a bucket list trip for me.

The Baltimore port is sooooo convenient! Royal Caribbean is a blast, we are thinking of going again next year, maybe we'll see you there?
Enjoy your cruise!
Thanks for the update keep up with the good work buddy
Bon voyage Jay!
Awsome have a great time all of ya.😊
Great Video!!!! My first time seeing the Bay Bridge from that point of view....Looking forward to more footage of this Adventure!!!
Awesome video Jay.
Enjoy!!
Wow that was awesome. Enjoy your cruise. That was wild under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge 😮
Crazy huh?! I didn't realize it would be so close to the bridge!!
Very cool! Safe Travels and have fun!
It is wonderful to see a cruise out of Baltimore! Maybe one day we can do the same. How secure is parking?

love sailing from here It's a Ship lol
Safe travels!

The boys are going to have some great memories, probably better than Disney!! Enjoy the trip.
My buddy just got off that boat this morning 2/8.
They were on with us! We just got off today too
Great video. I almost unsubscribed after the magnet fishing disaster 😂
Nice comeback and great information for someone who’s never been on a cruise!

We just booked a 9 night on this ship. Thank you for your video.
Awesome!!!! Hope you have a great trip!!!
Thanks for sharing. I’m considering booking Vision for next year.
Enjoy the cruise!
I enjoyed this video. We are sailing in November and have booked a wheelchair accessible room. Hopefully, the ship will be back in Baltimore.
I think the ship will be back by then. Have a great cruise and hope you enjoy yourselves!
I live on Vision! Haha happy that you enjoy the ship! Love watching this kind of videos🥰
Thank you so much for watching! We loved it and are looking into booking another trip next year.
Cruise time. Have a great time. Will look for a pizza review, 🤣🤣🤣
HAHA we tried to get a pizza review in, but ran out of time.
Oh gosh, you were only 5 minutes from my house. My husband works for the port.
No way!! I wonder if we saw him?
@@ReelJayB it’s a very good chance, he’s one of the fork lift drivers. He loads pallets of food and drinks onto the ship.
Have fun 🎉
Damn Boss
That's awesome you guys were in the neighborhood Right there at Fort Mchenry
We will be on the ship next year
enjoy guys
Lol Check the menu for a crab cake review
Maybe we'll see you on the ship! We're looking into booking another. Can't beat the convenience!
Little did they know how significant going under the Key bridge was going to be.
It was eerie when we found out the bridge collapsed.
i WAS ON THIS CRUISE!!!! SAME DAYS AND ALL!
No way!!!! I'm editing the st Kitts video now for next week. I'm sure we ran into you somewhere. Wish we were still on it!
@@ReelJayB Most likely?? me and my friend were hermits mostly. the most we did ship wise was hit up the windjammer. i the girl with short-blue hair! ill have to msg you a picture!
Sailing in her next year! My kids will be 12, 16 and 18. I’m worried my oldest and an introvert will be bored since he’s too old for the teen club.

Is this today ?
In the description it said their cruise was from Jan 27 to Feb 8.
We left on the 27th and returned this morning.
Welcome home
@@ripp4775 thanks!

Yeah no more Key Bridge! It was eerie seeing it fall after we passed under it a few months prior. Hope you all have a great time!

@goldwingerppg5953 I found that it went by fast. We really enjoyed ourselves. Check out my other cruise videos, I recorded a lot of the trip.
what....no crabcake or pizza review while aboard?
Ashley had a "crab cake" on day 1....it was a fish cake they tried to mask as a crab cake hahaha.
Jay, maybe I missed it, but what was the name of the cruise line?
Royal Caribbean
Ok, it's a ship and a cabin.
Bridge is gone now.
Yeah I'm still in shock over it. We drove over it on the way home too!
You mean SHIP tour.
🤣
I want to see you magnet fish out at sea, lol
I tried to convince Ashley to let me bring a rod to troll off the back. She wouldn't let me so maybe magnet fishing is a safe alternative?
@@ReelJayB have fun either way, great family getaway!
