I think the cruise lines should make smaller ships too... sometimes you just want a "real" vacation... without a massive crowd of people taking all the chairs and making the pools look like ponds.
we really like the 2500 passenger size. This now means mostly older ships, although Virgin fits.
That's why we like Princess.
Small ships are boring. I want a “real” vacation where there is more to do than just sit in the casino.
IMO bigger ships have more space & more to do. There's nothing you can do on a small ship that ou cannot do on the bigger size. Plus all 2500 passengers are crammed into fewer spaces so tada.
I too like smaller ships and the roller coasters , water slides, go carts are not for us. 2000-2500 passengers is great and we did not feel cramped at all lots of room. However yes the chairs in sun area were ridiculous but we don’t want to sit in the sun all day we like to move about even on sea days there was stuff to do with out all the “toys
No interest in the Mega ships. Long time and often cruisers, we have no desire to go on these monster ships. We have even turned down a couple sweet deals from the cruise line. No thanks. We enjoy the smaller ships. Being a retired cop and raised 5 boys, being stuck on a ship with 10k people and a bunch of kids running a muck, no thanks. Small and quiet.
We’ve switched to Regent Seven Seas for the same reasons.
My daughter and I enjoy the midsize older ships. Easier to get around and the kid's play areas are just as fun.
I’m not a mega ship guy. I think there are just too many people for an enjoyable vacation. Venues, shore excursions etc are just crowded. Even when doing your own thing in a port that has 4,5 mega ships in port makes for crowds and congestion. We tried a cruise line that has ships that hold 2500-2900 passengers and that seems to be our sweet spot.
I like smaller too. We are taking an Alaska expedition cruise with a max of 530. Less "stuff" more education, hiking and small boat trips. I think we will love it.
I agree.
Been on the Oasis over New Years. Been on the Jubilee over New Years. Both were at capacity. Never felt crowded.
Ive been on smaller ships and felt really crowded. Pools packed and all venues were too small for ship size.
@@tduck828 Hasn't happened to me even at capacity. Never felt crowded on a smaller ship. 🤷♀️
Absolutely with Juneau on this one. They should be able to spend the money as they please. Something tells me that the cruise lines are lobbying CLIA to raise an issue out of nothing here in order to sell more wifi packages
Just like "The Offer" shows how the mafia created the American Italian Anti-Defamation League to "dispel" belief there was a mafia, the cruise lines don't lobby CLIA, they are CLIA. Instead of saying CCL, RC, and NCL sue Port of Juneau, they use smoke and mirrors to hide behind the name of CLIA, so CLIA takes the wrap when the public disagrees with the suit, and you book another cruise happily. Also worth noting that they can use muscle through CLIA name to threaten boycotting ports, and CLIA can lobby money into politicians pockets while cruise lines claim plausible deniability (read willful ignorance).
If Norwegian doesn't improve their staff customer service they can forget filling any new ships or cruises. They have a long way to go based on our recent experience. The culture has to change. They have unhappy crews.
Are you serious? I'm looking & thinking about an NCL cruise.
Currently, on NCL prima, 11 days, the staff seems very happy. we have had some in-depth conversations, and they pay close attention to details
I just cruised the Prima and did not see or feel that way! Currently on the Epic and they definitely are not unhappy based on what I have seen.
Maybe we just caught the Epic on a bad week. @@leahoverman392
I have always had fantastic service on NCL
Sailing with them in 2 weeks! 😊
Took them a long time to put shore power in for the cruise ships. Here in Vancouver BC, Canada, our cruise ship port has had Plugs for cruise ships since 2009. Our other ports have them for the cargo ships too, so while they are being unloaded they aren't polluting.
We love the older, smaller ships. Bigger is NOT necessarily better.
there already is public wifi in Juneau - first was the library , once that was overrun by passengers they expanded it to the public square (one by the docks with the Filipino bbq stand) , now that's getting overrun ... so as cruise ship traffic expands why not a continued expansion of civic services ? clia in the wrong for this one ... what a city does with its revenues is its business
I had no idea the ports had regulations on how they spent fees.
FWIW, As cruisers, shouldn't we want good things for the places were we port? Things that improve their community and offset wear and tear on the infrastructure we admittedly bring? If we were staying in hotels, we would be paying room tax and in general I'm happy to pay something so that (hopefully!) the city and the residents get benefit from me being able to port there.
I would endorse NOTHING COMES CLOSE if it meant icebergs and bridges 👍🏻
I feel that if we're paying port fees, the whole thing about those fees is to go towards the port for them to do upgrades to the infrastructure of the port. If they want to add public Wi-Fi as part of that then that's fine because it's an advantage for other people to use and it's going towards upgrading the port.
The reason I like to cruise is to be cut off of all social media. I do not think we should be charged foe something we wont use
EXACTLY!!!!! I look so forward to being ‘unplugged’ . I really don’t want to pay for something I won’t use.
Agreed!
Exactly!! It is wonderful just to unplug and relax.
I think that the port fees should be used for things that benefit the cruisers, crew, and ship. Public wifi definitely qualifies.
I would like things that benefit locals, truth be told. If the cruise ship wants to provide something for the benefit of the cruises, staff, etc they should pay for it themselves IMO.
@@kontzel cruisers and cruise lines are the ones paying the port fees. Public wifi also benefits locals, though. At least in that it is a place they can go to get internet access.
@merpius I'm so sorry! I misread your comment. I saw "public wifi definitely disqualifies" which is the exact opposite of what you said! 🤦♀️ I'm just gonna go crawl back under my rock now. 😂
I do not know what all the rules, but I would love wifi in the ports.
I have a eGolf here in Prague. I live in a green flat- so we get power from wind, solar and geothermal. I get free charging at the parking garage at my flat, at a lot of parking spaces and lots in downtown Prague, and when I do pay for charging it costs about half as much to charge to go the same distance the equivalent gasoline car would go. I also get free registration. It works here because of the incentives- the war has really increased green initiatives, and for longer trips we just take trains, as we have really good rail service and coverage here.
I’m jealous
Yeah, that then makes sense for you, but for Americans, 90% of the charging stations are petrol/coal turned into electricity. We also don't have good rail systems or good public transport. Then there is the fact that the US is so huge. I have ridden the trains in the US and to travel from the basically Canadian Border (not quite but fairly close) 1/2 way to the southern end took 15 hours. It would have taken me another 15 hours to reach Mexico's border. When I moved from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in my car it took me 5 full days of driving, with hotel stays. On a train with all their stops, and crap it would have been a 10-day trip in my estimation. I also have problems with the idea of having to sit in my car for long periods wherever waiting for the car to charge, because driving long distances is very much necessary in the US. The biggest problem is that if the power supply isn't coming from solar, wind, or other sustainable energy sources, then the Electric vehicles are not worth it. I also have an issue with what happens to them when they get old. I can continually repair a combustion engine for a very long time, and the combustion engine lasts a lot longer than your electric batteries will. This means your batteries will end up in landfill as toxic waist a lot faster and therefore there will be a long-term hit to the ecosystem and not the gain you think you are getting. Not to mention the eco cost of making all the solar panels and batteries which is not a clean process either.
@@RiverWoods111 Gasoline and natural gas is artificially cheap in America, so will be decades behind Europe in green technology.
In cities what comes out of the tailpipe is what matters, not so much how the electricity is generated, as coal and other power plants are outside of cities and have scrubbers. EV batteries are also recycled.
. You nailed it. It's great in smaller countries but not ideal in the US. I live in central Maine. I would have to drive over 40 miles at this time to find a charging station. We are 50 miles from a major city. In Maine, MAJOR is over 10 K lol. There was an initiative to phase out gas power. It was knocked down quickly. Could you imagine if you had a farm and they outlaw gas powered vehicles? I don't know if John Deer is making a bunch of rechargeable tractors, but I doubt it. While it may make sense for over populated areas like NYC to use them locally, when you live an hour from the nearest Walmart, it doesn't. I know I was being a little over dramatic with the farm vehicles but, isn't just a matter of time? In addition my hubby is an Owner/ Operator freight relocation engineer lolololol (truck driver!) Having to stop every 3 hrs and hope you can find a charger is a terrible thought. Lol you won't be getting your goods ordered online in 3 days if that happens. Then there is automation. It's great til there is a solar flare and satellite connection is lost.
@@jenbrooks5872 The mistake Americans make is thinking everything must be done nationwide, rather than in states. If all the states do something, then it becomes nationwide.
Volvo is making EV lorries for Europe. They go 1000km on a charge. Here in Europe truck drivers have required breaks, so they charge during their breaks. John Deere and others have been testing not only electric tractors, but autonomous electric tractors.
I do not feel I should have to pay for WiFi, I do not use my phone or any computers. I go on vacation to get away from all that. Cell phone goes off as soon as I am on the ship. What will they want us to pay for next.
The port fees are set and imposed by the port! I don't quite understand why a cruise line or consortium of cruise lines would attempt to suggest they have a say in the disposition of port fees.
This looks a lot more like the cruiselines being unhappy that there is free wifi being given away to their guests in Juneau when they want to have total capture on their guests to facilitate charging their insane marked up rates.
We have a Tesla Model 3. We're happy with it. It saves a lot of money on gas. We've taken a couple of roundtrip vacations across half of the country.
I ran across a news story titled "Top lawyer falls from cabin balcony into sea on luxury cruise".
In addition to his film and tv credits, Jonathan just finished his first run on Broadway in Monty Python’s Spamalot, and he was amazing. I had the chance to see him perform multiple times and met him. Great guy! He’s hosted the Times Square coverage of the New Year’s celebration for a few years and worked with Carnival. In addition to working with Carnival in their New Year’s sponsorship, he’s a Carnival cruiser and I think a great choice for the godfather of the new Long Beach based ship.
Never heard of this guy.
The mega ship cruise line concept has grown out-of-control, I have no interest whatsoever. However, they are also building smaller ships such as the regent fleet, which appeals to those of us who don’t want anything to do with the mega ships. My focus will be on cruise ships like regents, seven seas, as well as Seaborn and SilverSea, smaller ships, more intimate experience, better service, no nickel anding
What a racket... Don't forget there was a time when we were all paying for long distance land line calls. What a sham that turned out to be. This WIFI mess will be the same. Just wait and see...
I’m with the smaller cruise ship group. Seriously. I don’t need bigger.
Yay for Seattle (my hometown)! Don't get an EV yet. The production of the batteries still can't keep up with the demand, and they haven't resolved the unethical labor practices of cobalt/lithium (& other rare minerals) mining & its destruction of the environment - like in Chile, Serbia, and Tibet. Ironically, it takes a HUGE amount of water & energy to produce the batteries. Btw, battery replacements are between $5K - $20K.
Thank you, Tony.
Always appreciate your comments and thoughts on new cruise happenings.
Looking forward to the live show later.
Using the money on internet is a great plan. Helps city and visitors
Thank You
I own a hybrid and love it. But I would never want to go fully electric.
I love the mega ships. I have never felt that they were overcrowded. So many places to go on the ship.
Thank you Luda!
So glad Vancouver made this change years ago.
I love the way you bring Cruise News!!
Shame, shame, shame. We have an EV. Wonderful around town. Road trips in our car...NOPE. Six hour drive turns into 11hrs. Tony looks VERY happy to be back onboard a ship.
I am not interested in an EV due to concerns with range and extreme temperature issues. It is about an 8 hour drive to visit my family in Ohio or to get to Cape Liberty cruise port from VA. I don’t want to lengthen any of those trips waiting to charge my car. Some car companies are now focusing more on hybrids vs EVs because hybrids have a broader appeal at the moment.
No one wants to talk about the whole battery issue.
If you're going to drive 8 hours, you're going to stop at least 2 or 3 times anyway where you can use a super charger to get there without any real delays.
@@paulras01 we take 2-3 breaks at a place where we can use the restrooms, maybe get coffee; and we get gas at one of them. Stops are max 10-15 minutes each. Not sure that charging can get done that quickly. And some WV exits are pretty desolate; I would hate to be stuck on those mountains in the winter. That is why I think a hybrid is a better solution.
@@lynnmoquin2059 I don't disagree about hybrids. But super charging takes 15 minutes to get 200 mile range added. So three 15 minute stops you were going to do anyway would give you 600 miles in addition to the 300-400 you'd start with. And it being desolate on those roads only supports the fact that we need to build the infrastructure up. They aren't going away and are becoming a bigger and bigger portion of new car sales every quarter. Plus range and charging will only improve from here.
😂😂😂
I'm sorry! Did I just read $160,000 for NOAA's Blubber Cortisol Study?!
😮😮😮
I think that instead of saying how people feel about a local government making everyone pay for public wifi. I would say it's fine to use taxes and port fees to provide a public service that the tourists can use if they so wish it.
I purchase wifi packages all the time for work. I don't particularly care for sea days and so I spend my daytime getting some work done while I enjoy my evening entertainment.
If my fare includes giving other people a chance to use wifi while in port, I'm okay with that. I could have chosen a cheaper cruise line or a different route if it bothers me that much. Not really something I stress about.
Great video ❤❤❤❤
Jonathan Bennett is the perfect Godfather for the Firenze. He's not one of the celebrity's that's going to show up at the naming ceremony and you never see him again. He and his husband sail Carnival all the time. He was on one of my Panorama sailing.
I was thinking the same thing about Jonathan Bennett, I thought it was an interesting choice. But I didn't know who Hannah was either. 😂
Tony, Toni, Toney has done it again!
We have a Tesla model Y, and we have saved so much money in petrol. We get free charging from our solar on house most weekends. If we have to top up on weekdays, we have a plan. We pay 8 cents per KWs between 12AM and 6AM. On longer trips, we use the great network of charges with Tesla less than 30 mins at a time. This is great for bathroom and meal breaks and fatigue. Plus, it has lots of power, and they are fun to drive.
Doing my morning check in from the Sapphire. Thanks for the news.
Nice lego build, Tony!
We are so happy about the pier being built at GSC for NCL. Twice we lost out on getting on the island because it was not safe on the tender.
Congratulations on 250k!
Airports typically have free WiFi, which is paid for by all passengers, usually by charges passed to the airlines and then on to the passengers, or through airport improvement fees paid as part of the passengers' tickets. How would the Juneau cruise terminal be different from an airport terminal in this regard? Both are managed by a body responsible to public officials, both serve a diverse traveling public who may choose to use some services and not others, and both get pushback from the transportation companies from time to time on their decisions. In the end, the local authority usually gets their way.
That pier for Great Stirrup Cay is greatly needed! We missed docking there in December due to wind and possible danger to the tender operation. Great decision!
Good Morning Tony
I've had 2 all-electric cars. Nissan Leaf when it first came out, when that 36 month lease expired I got a BMW i3 all electric (with a small generator and 2 gallon gas tank for on-the -go recharging. My office had free chargers so I drove for free for 5.5 years. BTW BMW messed up the lease residual value and I drove a $55,000 car with $1,000 down and only paid $235/month lease price. I really like both cars, they were fun to drive.
Last October great wifi at Juneau library.
The dock at Stirrup Cay is a great step. Now, it will be more accessible for people with disabilities. However, if they do not install walkways to all of the island, people like me will be stuck in the sand. Right now it is impossible to traverse the island with a walker or wheelchair.
Tony, count me out when it comes to EVs. There's no place along my 80-mile R/T commute to charge, and putting a charger in my garage will set me back a couple thousand bucks at least.
I'm currently driving a Challenger R/T with a fire-breathing V-8 and 6-Speed manual transmission. It's a total blast to drive.
The tree-huggers can have my Hemi when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers!
Hi Tony--seriously the cruise lines are already charging single people a really unfair supplimemt for vacationing alone. Wifi charges are just another big moneymaker for them. Seriously not good or fair.
My husband and I both drive 2017 Chevy Volts. We love them. They are a plug in hybrid. Basically we charge them over night. On average we get 45 miles on all electric, then it switches over to gas. Most of our driving is just on electric. I probably get gas every other month. And that’s because sometimes I take longer trips. I do not want an all electric because we like to travel and don’t want to be stuck having to follow a rout in able to charge. And we don’t want to have to stop for a long time so that we can charge. And what if the power goes out or we forget to charge, then we might be stuck. Or the dreaded, you run out of electric while you are out driving. It’s not like you can get a ride or walk to the nearest charging station and fill up a can of battery and bring back to your car and be on your way. I like the gas backup option.
Hi Tony. WOW, 8 new ships NCL. Haven't they been talking about a pier for a few years now? Very cool on the Lego. Shore power is a great move to improve the environment. I have to admit, I had no idea who Hanna is. Don't know Johnathan ether. Lol. Port fees and what they are used for. Everyone wants a piece of it. As always thank you for all you do. ❤
Looks like you are in a classic Carnival cabin. Love those!
I have a 2023 Tesla Y and will never go back to an ice car. Just couldn’t be happier.
Never use public Wi-Fi!
Yep, or use a VPN, etc.
@@kontzel pretty much 😅
I’ll use a VPN when we go to Europe!
There is nothing wrong with public Wi-Fi coupled with a VPN.
LOVE THE LEGGO !!!!!💜💜💜
Yay! More news for our peek-a-boo faces!
Its Tony!!!! Yay
We live in New Mexico and go on road trips. We drive a lot in the middle of nowhere. I’ve heard it takes awhile to recharge the battery. Not really around anywhere.
I loved it when you got on the ship put your phone in the safe and left it turned off the entire trip.😊 I do not need internet and do not want to pay for something I don’t use
Tony I really love when you post. I think I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again I’m autistic and I binge your shows lol. I love the delivery method. And I love how you always say for your face and also how you say la lido loca. I appreciate your content and I don’t have money to be a patron but I do so love the context so I try to give you views and send your videos to my family. You and Jenny make my day
I loved my Prius 💚
We really prefer smaller ships, but the newness of the big ships is interesting to explore.
Hey, Hey, Hey,Tony!!
I have a Honda CRV Hybrid. I absolutely love it.
Love the ship!
It is odd that the port cities want the Ships to be on their grid power but they do not say how that power is generated.
Bennet, never heard of him! After being on the
Mardi Gras which was grossly overloaded with
passengers, and though advertised having shower doors, our cabin had a sticky shower curtain, on a balcony cabin. I’m going to try MSC after reading Ilana’s review of one of their ships!
I drive a Mustang Mach-E and I LOVE IT. I plug it in at night when needed. My electric bills haven’t gone up that I’ve noticed, and I don’t even know what gas prices are anymore. Easy to charge on the road and getting easier. Super-fast acceleration. Electric’s not perfect, but I sure like my car. 👍🏼
It would be interesting to see how many people don’t get ship wifi now compared to several years ago. Investing in free public wifi may only give access to faster speed as opposed to being the only access to wifi for most passengers.
They don't want them giving away free WiFi because it cuts into their bottom line
Ugh these big ships....not a fan. And hard pass on the Evs. Being here in TX the range just isn't there. Can't even make it to the Galveston port.
I was in Seattle last month and the pier area looks much better with the old viaduct torn out. I also liked the train from/to Sea-Tac.
Hey Tony 👋
At least the port fees are going towards improvements and really does give more value to the port.
Hi Tony, thank you for another great video. We have decided not to cruise for awhile until the cruise companies decide not to fleece their customers as they are currently doing. I do not think that building bigger ships is the way to go. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Tony I was sitting on the edge of my seat.. I thought you were about to say that Wi-Fi was a required expense on all of the carnival sailings..
I don’t want wifi as I like to detach when I’m cruising! Its so relaxing
Jonathan Bennett is gonna be a ship godfather? Grool!
Never will drive an all electric vehicle.
Tony, Jonathan is great. I love him on Hallmark and Food Network. Hope your enjoying your time on the Pride. I hope to run into you on Sunday, 4/21.
Hi Tony! Love the show!
Electric? No way, Baby! 1. Terrible if catches on fire. Danger!Danger! 2. What if there's a flood? Totally messes up your car. 3. Replacement batteries cost almost as much as the car.
No, thank you very much.
Thank YOU, Tony, for another great video!
Yes, it’s also designed to fail. They don’t want us driving, period.
Had a Prius. It was great till the hybrid started failing. We kept it going for a few years by changing individual battery cells, but you couldn't drive far in the car because you never knew when a cell would go bad. I bought a CRV and let my son use the Prius to drive to school. He drove it a couple of years, changing battery cells as needed until he wrecked it and got it out of our hair for good. That was the worst car purchase I ever made.
We are early adopters of EV's from back in 2013. I drove a Chevy Spark EV for 6 years as a 150 mile a day commuter and loved it. We still own it and now with 130K miles on it it only has a range of 50 miles so my daughter drives it to get around town; drives it to school and friends etc... We now own a new Hyundai Ioniq 5 which can get from up here in the SF Bay Area to the LA cruise port with just one stop to charge for about 20 minutes. I can honestly say I would never want to go back to an ICE vehicle as the idea of the ridiculous maintenance costs, (oil changes, smog checks, breaks etc...) and going out of my way to stop at a gas station to have to fuel up, (my EV is full of electricity every morning, just like my phone) are just inconveniences I never want to experience again. The only headache is the extremely poor public charging infrastructure, and here in California its better than most of the rest of the country, but it's still really bad.
Hey Tony, My wife and I have driven an EV for four years and we love it. EVs provide a great driving experience and it is fun to pass by the gas stations.
Hey hey hey T. I bought my first Tesla in 2016. In 2018 my husband got his, so we’ve not had any ICE cars in 5-6 years. Obviously we love it. Not having to gas up is the biggest perk. I leave the house with a “full tank” every day. Also there’s almost zero maintenance needed as there’s no engine/belts/hoses. I’m currently on my third Tesla and still love driving them. They have excellent safety ratings.
I personally wouldn’t consider a different EV unless they had the ability to charge at Tesla Supercharger stations. Almost all automakers will be compatible with the network moving forward. Tesla has the best infrastructure for away from home charging.
I love Hannah! She is an amazing actor and singer. Never heard of Bennett.
And her actual last name is Waddingham (as opposed to Tony calling her Waddington)!
I refuse to pay for wifi. I love not being connected while away. I enjoy the scenery
Being a huge fan of electric vehicles, I believe the first move is putting solar power generation on our roofs whenever possible. I love that shore power is growing in cruising, along with this we need to convert our electric generation in general with renewable sources.
Does anyone ever care how the godmother and godfather is for a cruise ship? Love the show
Glad you are having that experience. Perhaps we have just had a different experience on a different ship with a different culture?
We rented a Tesla on Kauai and I loved it. It brakes when you reduce pressure on the accelerator. If you understand downshifting it's easy to pick up, if not you may hate it.
Close
Love my Tesla Model Y. Prices are great now. Go for it!!
Never heard of Jonathan Bennet. Carnival "missed the boat" when naming the Carnival Jubilee godmother. It's a Texas themed ship. They should have had a Texas native for the godparent. Kelly Clarkson? Matthew Mcconaughey? Jim Parsons? Jennifer Garner? Barbara Mandrell?
love Jonathan Bennett!
We have 2 fully electric BMW EV’s. Absolutely love them. But we have a home charger and we’re not long road trip people.
EVs are good unless you are going on a road trip or drive a lot in cold weather. Example- my husband borrowed an EV once for us to make a 4 hour drive in the winter. It was really cold. We had to stop to charge the car on the way but no charging stations were on our route, so we had to drive an hour out of our way, charge the car for 45 minutes, then drive an hour back to our route. A 4 hour trip turned into a 7 hour trip all because we weren't driving a gas vehicle.
It depends on the battery. The 220 battery is longer life.
EVs absolutely BLOOOOOOW!!!
There's literally a channel from Norway where a guy drives ev's on roadtrips in the bitter cold...
I drive a Tesla Model 3 and love it. Lower maintenance costs and I just charge at home during the night. It's always full when I leave in the morning.
