The "style" that makes Rich and Helen so outstanding is exactly what he explained: It gives the rich, luxurious feeling that they really like what they do, and that makes it special and wonderful! Never cater to your audience! Pick what YOU like first and formost!!
We love Viking, no dress up evenings and no casino and kids. Crew are wonderful and food is delicious. Included excursions in all ports plus optional, if you want. Excellent value for money. Also, all rooms have balconies and itineraries are different.
Thanks to all three of you. We watch Richard and Helen too,so a nice surprise to see you with Gary. We have Azamara, windstar and Cunard Queen Anne booked first time for all three. We have been with lots of other cruise lines. Looking forward to trying them.
Great live stream - just watched it on delay. We love the content that each of you puts out and have relied on your recommendations in booking our own travels. Keep it up.
We have a credit of $1790 each, after a 29 day cruise! We won’t be using it, or sailing with this cruise line again! The best advice is from someone who has had a bad experience so you can go research it!
Okay, just subscribed and hopefully entered the Queen Anne contest the right way--on Rich & Helen's 7-Day Queen Anne video! Can I enter more than one time since my name is Anne? LOL!
We don't let our partnership with Panache Cruises alter our outlook or content at all. Panache are simply an outlet to recommend if anyone wants to explore the opportunities of the cruises we go on. Gary has his recommended TA, as does most of the UA-camrs doing cruise, just look - they ALL have one. Comped cruises help us get more variety of content out there for you to enjoy for the least cost to us possible. We do this full time and there's NO WAY we could afford to bring these experiences to you on just our UA-cam income (it doesn't even pay for the flights on most of these cruises, let alone the cruises themselves!). We like to make sure everything is kept free for all so we don't have a Patreon or UA-cam membership offering. Everything we do is free for everyone. The economics would simply not work for a full timer like us to do the type of cruising we do. We hope you understand that and be assured, it helps us to produce better and better quality videos. Surely that's worth something? Thank you for watching and your support. We really appreciate it! :D
Wish you would mention Lindblad. We never go on ships with over 200 and prefer under 100. Lindblad has lovely small ships and goes to remarkable places with knowledgeable guides.
I was thinking of going on Azamara for total solar eclipse in 2026 but the comment about tiny cabins and tiny showers puts me off. I couldn't make out what Gary was saying about how to avoid that, was it a cabin grade to book?
Thanks all of you for help. A few itineries on luxury lines do catch my eye, and while it's a stretch it's not out of reach. But as someone who've done only 1 QM2 crossing and travel more like Emma than Gary, I really don't know where to set my expectations 🥲

They are experts at the destination, not sure anymore on what they offer on the ship! Staff are AMAZING 🤩 very genuine ❤
Great chats with Richard & Helen, thanks Gary

We've known Gary a long time and we've been promising to do this for a year lol! :D

Haha! Thank you for subscribing and entering. :D
Tauck river cruises are great.
I would choose Cunard…. would be quite happy to cruise on Cunard always. But I do like Princess too.
Three of my favorite cruise UA-cam people ... with Mark being the fourth.
Thank you so much. We really appreciate your support.❤
Interesting❤
I don’t put much store in reviews by brand ambassadors. I wish Rich and Helen had not decided to represent a travel company and accept comped cruises.

Regent is our favorite
Wish you would mention Lindblad. We never go on ships with over 200 and prefer under 100. Lindblad has lovely small ships and goes to remarkable places with knowledgeable guides.
Regent has wellness menus for all meals 😊

It’s a Club Continental which is their suite class
@@tipsfortravellers Thanks. That might make Azamara too expensive for me. It's a shame their standard cabins and showers are so small.
Not interested in this type of programing.
What a disappointment!!!
Sorry you feel that way. 😕
Thanks all of you for help.

I love Cunard and Oceanea...Regent is the absolute worst...
