Cariban cruise questions let me know in the chat what questions I can answer for you starting with the most important question how many days until your next Royal caribbian Cru if you’re cat down in chat will count down together my next cruise is not until June I don’t know about that but right

Now that’s where it’s sitting uh my next cruise is on the Liberty of the Seas going to Bermuda first time for me to Bermuda since like 2019 so pretty excited for that but I’m even more excited to talk real Qui with all of you guys um obviously we were on wonder last

Week and I love being on a cruise but doing these live broadcasts on cruise ships is tough uh there’s noise to contend with there’s music to contend with the audio never sounds as good as I want it to be it’s hard to read the chat anyway we’re back home we’re back in the

Studio got the easy button on and I’m here to answer as many Royal gring Cruise questions as possible I’m giving you some top high quality answers not like the other weeks which they’ve been layo answers these are the best answers coming to you guys this week so strap on

In and let me answer your cruise question starting with some amazing super chats even before the broadcast began Tyler Jones Tyler thank you for the Super Chat earlier my wife family photographers is considering offering family photo sessions while on the ship is this Allowed by Royal whatups if any

That she need to get approval before our sailing so if your wife wants to take photos Tyler of like your family like hey guys let’s get all take photos together and your wife is a photographer no problem at all that’s not a problem um the only issue the only time you get

In trouble is if it looks like a wedding that’s not allowed so nobody wearing a wedding dress and a groom anything like that but you want take family photos you want to and your wife is a professional photographer that’s fine now when I’m reading this comments is considering offering family photo sessions like

You’re not like your wife isn’t like soliciting sales on board right she’s not sitting in the corner like hey I’ll take your photo for 20 bucks like that’s not allowed hope that makes sense uh MJ thank you for the Super Chat hi Matt thanks for all you do going on East

Going on a for Easter this Sunday hang on guys I just I’ll get back to the question a second there it is uh we have a we have threee in the group Mariano Darko and Jean Carlo can you tell them what to try on Oasis they will see this Saturday all

Right Mariano Darko and Jean car they’re going on a Oasis of the Seas first of all um you got to do the laser tag on board that is super fun karaoke this family karaoke offered in spot like kok a lot of fun water slides you guys got

To race each other down the water slides whoever gets down on the bottom first have your parents time it is the winner and gets more ice cream how about that Michael Bond thank you for the Super Chat 20 days till our first two-bedroom Grand Suite we need to pay gratuities

And Coastal Kitchen uh no that’s part of your general gratuities that you pay for going to you know uh being in a suite Jeremy hodin thank you for the Super Chat Jeremy says thanks for all you do going on Ovation in theas to Alaska in

August is there a way to get a third chair and ottoman for our balcony room officially no you can ask certainly you know ask your stend hey is there any way to get one they might be able to help you but it’s very much going to be um

Variable it’s almost your mileage may vary kind of situation uh let’s see here JC thank you for the Super Chat we’re back up to the chats now that I have in our system 20 days till Anthem wife and I have early dining in main dining room can we go to

The my time dining line if we don’t want to rush getting ready after busy P day um in my experience answer is yes it’s not that is not an official policy like it’s not written down anywhere but I have heard of people being able to do

This JC so I think the answer is yes like in in practice even though it’s not anofficial policy I don’t think they’ll turn you away uh I I really don’t think you’re probably you’re gonna have to wait for a table obviously but yeah yeah

Uh I see Jen Green from Mii travel is in the chat I see our good friend Tony Diaz is here uh Kristen Blanding is here Amanda iar from uh or Herbert I always forget Amanda how pronounce your name is it French or has been Americanized anyway Amanda Amanda from Mii travel is

Here hello Amanda good to see you as well lots of great countdowns here Sharon Stockman is here it’s good to see you Sharon Tommy in the chat as well uh Smokey Bandit lots of good friends in here love that dette is here oh fantastic speaking of good friends Shana

Thank you for the Super Chat lot of Cruz’s book husband may not be able to make one will I get double crown on anchor points if he’s a no show it depends um I’ve gotten it both ways shashana um most recently when I did this in

November of last year on ratings to the Seas I got double points but there were a number of cruises in which I didn’t get double points when my wife no- showed to the cruise actually uh that happened on icon hang on forget forget Radiance that’s so last year I’m pretty

Sure I got double points on let me double check this before I say this I should have gotten 21 points because I stayed in a suite because I thought my wife was going on cruise with me so I don’t need a site for just myself believe me

Uh but I’m just going to double check that because I’m pretty sure I got oh my God the website’s being so slow don’t they know I’m doing live the bottom line though shash no matter what happened with me on icon or not um it really does depend it

Really I it’s I’ve seen it go both ways that’s the thing and it’s they have not been consistent with it I know that is shocking to hear real inconsistent with something of course the login is not working at this time it’s just sitting there oh there we go I got it all right

Pass cruises did I get double points uh icon of the Seas where are you yes I got 21 points on the inaugural sailing because I was by myself in a suite so maybe that’s a lame answer shashana but like I said I’ve seen it both ways very

Recently uh Jason anes Jason thank you for the Super Chat got off Ovation recently does anyone realize that next has a gravitational pull first timer going on aasis dude you are not wrong about that you can go into the cruise and be like I’m not booking any cruises

I’m good my schedule is set I’m I’m totally ready and then you get on board that ship and then you just like it’s definitely a situation where you’re like you know you you you can’t help but being pulled over there yeah you’re not it’s not just you uh can you use

WhatsApp in airplane mode to text back in the US only if you have a Wi-Fi package because it uses the internet Chris thank you for the Super Chat keep the great work Matt thanks for recommending Jen green she’s awesome she is indeed awesome very bougie very awesome 297 days till back toback on

Independence of the Seas woohoo love that uh next question is from Jessica Devoto I have an exerion in Cosmo that requires a taxi up and back how safe is that for a Solo Traveler I mean there are risks involved Jessica I can’t promise you anything but let me tell you

Something KML in my opinion in my experience is one of the most reliable places to get a taxi um I I’ve never had any issues in fact of the in the grand scheme of things that occur in uh wow I think I just saw what I think I

Saw um in the grand scheme of of uh km taxis and all that like I’ve not heard of any horror stories saying they don’t exist but I would say Jessica and the grand scheme of things I think you’re in in in a better situation right there um Brian schiffman

You absolute Legend what dude hold on we’re literally stopping this chat for a second timeout TV timeout hold the phone call Grandma from the living room dude what like First of all it’s your first Super Chat thank you second of all that is way too generous like I mean there’s

Generous and there is like whatever you did dude my dude thank you so much holy smokes um I I don’t know what i’ I’ve often said like I don’t know Brian the hero like I don’t know what I can possibly do to make it up to you like to

Give you that much value back but dude like I mean I can’t do a I’m not able to do a uh I’m not able to do a a a a what’s it called the gymnastic move I can’t do any gymnastics moves but my goodness I’m willing to risk LIF and

Life and limb to try a cartwheel on stream here dude holy smokes we’ll get this this stream ladies and gentlemen brought to you by Brian schiffman guys when you think of Brians there are many Brians in this world but only one is named Brian schiffman so when you’re

Thinking of naming your children make sure you think Brian schiffman back to our regular schedule program Chris Moss thank you for the Super Chat 16 days still enchantment I’m considering a side to side between Fort Lauder and Miami easy or challenging super easy just take a lifter Uber very simple you will have

No problems at all it’s very very simple to do that uh let’s see here NYC lover for life have you tried the pre-cruise ultimate ding package reservations or do you know how it work as far as I know it’s not available yet I’ve asked Ro K about this dude they basically saying

They’re working on it it’ll be out sometime this year they’re not sure exactly when so no I have not tried it yet because it’s not available yet but obviously dude when that’s available we’re going to try that out immediately for sure naughty towel animal what a

Great name thank you for the Super Chat looking for must in Aruba boner and cerso Aruba I’m gonna give a shout out to my good friends Erica Alexa Samantha and and Kenny I guess uh they went to Baby Beach in Aruba and absolutely loved it Bonaire if you’re

Into snorkeling at all this is the place to do it kurau Mambo Beach is what I would recommend uh Renee Romero thank you for the Super Chat my mom uses a walker and wants to go on to CoCo Key what would be the best accessible location for her

Um well probably a wasis lagoon because she can go from the ship to Oasis Lagoon without any Beach um it’s all paved the entire way once you get to a beach obviously you’re into sand not that that being said Renee there are complimentary Beach wheelchairs you can use but the

Like answer your question most directly it would be um a a a Oasis Lagoon I would think on that one uh again once again Brian schiffman my dude I don’t know what to say to you other than thank you thank you thank you thank you thank

You thank you uh Ben thank you for the Super Chat first time Cruiser wonder of the season six days 10:30 boarding time what’s the best way to make our limited dining reserv forumi and the other places just go straight to the restaurant as soon as you get on board

The ship that’s what I would do Ben get on board go immediately deck four after the ship right Wonder yep and go straight to the restaurant do not pass go do not collect $200 do not stop at your mustard drill just go straight there and make the reservation uh Bonnie wants to know

Thank you for the Super Chat Bonnie 19 days still our first time on Odyssey we know you love the pub as much as us do you have a f you have a favorite person servering The Odyssey Pub um I don’t have a server but I do have a favorite

Performer uh Brian James is the performer the the pub singer in the pub he is worth the price of admission alone to get in there there is no price of admission it’s free but uh he is fantastic we love Brian we featured him here on real Kore blog a number of times

He’s wonderful he’s going to be word on the street is I think he might be on Utopia when that comes out but that’s beside the point when you go on Odyssey check out Brian in the pub and say hey tell tell them that Matt said hello Mr

Two swo thank you for the Super Chat hey Matt going on Utopia the Seas August 26th um all the Zumi apat is booked up on the site does that mean no walk- on dining not necessarily I have definitely um seen it where it’s booked up online but then you get on

Board the ship there’s still spots available that being said it’s gonna be a hot ticket always is a hot ticket get there early once again Brian good evening thank you how you doing uh Ronnie bickers Jr Ronnie thank you for the Super Chat Ronnie oh there’s your

Message uh I’m wondering if Harmony of the Seas ever changes to Floridan ports or perhaps por Orleans Port Orleans Port Orleans is a Disney Resort my friend I think you mean New Orleans um do they ever of course there’s always an e and a flow to the deployments that are out

There running so like right now Galviston but she was literally in Florida her entire life up until that point so it’s gonna happen sooner or later where she will get to Florida so absolutely yeah no question about it uh answer that question uh Pam wants to know how is the entertainment on icon

Really really great uh Wizard of Oz must see show make sure you do it right there uh new and old Funko Pops thanks for the Super Chat how many rooll have I been on oh man I just closed my tab I think it’s like 70 or

80 um 83 pass cruises there you go I’m up to 83 now and thank you for the Super Chat how many decks down is the at the end how many decks down is the end of the slide or 10-year-old be going down the slide U I think one of us should be

Waiting at the end um so and that’s not a problem actually because on Mariner when you go to the water slides your son goes up the slide grandson excuse me goes off the slide you stay right at the bottom so um there this isn’t like the ultimate Abyss like where you board on

One deck and then it exits on another you’re all on the same thing so as long as you’re there where he boards you’re good to go uh next question is from I’m trying to get as many questions as I can here uh Lord we have adventurous eaters you

Think Wonderland Symphony will be a good experience absolutely yes absolutely um oh I don’t know why ch message but there you go you made the thing right there um he meant $3 if you did really mean $3 I’m happy to give the money back I mean geez

Louise I don’t I don’t know what to do like what I mean what can I possibly do to make let’s see a flip I’ll do a flip yeah all see me die on stream over here holy moly uh let’s see here um Michelle Stevenson Michelle thank you

For the Super Chat uh 440 days till back to back to back on Voyager in the Mediterranean for 10th anniversary how the heck do we start planning boy great question um I mean there’s the OB you’re you’re way out you’re over a year out so

There isn’t a whole lot to do it’s too early to book flights um it’s you could maybe book a hotel not a bad idea I if I were you the really important thing to be doing 440 days ahead of time is start researching what you want to do in the

Ports you might able to book anything but I would start an Excel spreadsheet and start putting in there okay uh you know on this day we’re thinking of doing this tour this tour in this tour basically have a game plan so when you can book those things bam you’re on the

Ball and you’re good to go I would say much close like when you once you get like less than a year out which you’re not that you’re hund and some odd days away from that but you get to like H 270 days you can start booking things

Flights you can book up to a year in advance and start that process but I would say at this point since you’re so far out there’s very little actually book I would definitely say your best bet is to um um start researching sh excursions and of course watching quality videos here on realore

Blog.com uh Helio thank you for the Super Chat cruise prices have skyrocketed lately but the crowd and anchor discounts for balcons remain the same do you think the last time do you remember the last time discounts have been updated by how much that’s a really good point dude I never thought about

That um I I’m I chat keep me honest here as far as I know I don’t ever remember them changing as long as I’ve been doing Royal Coran blog I don’t ever remember writing an article that said that’s a really good point actually where I think Royal Coran is absolutely overdo for a

In now maybe they’ve been incrementally doing it and it’s been quietly done um we do have some super we have some travel ages in the chat has anyone like is has it it just seems like my recollection has been the same forever but I could be dead wrong on that just

One of those things like I haven’t read an article about it so I don’t think it’s changed that doesn’t mean anything necessarily but man I hadn’t thought about that before Tony will utop using the same style elevators as icon um we don’t know that we don’t know yet I suspect not but

We can hope we can definitely hope Suzanne thank you for the Super Chat uh 152 days to Liberty in my son’s first Gru will’ll be 11 months planning our must bring items what are your top recommendations Suzanne everything you think you need for an 11 year 11-month-old pack double that amount diapers

Formula they still drink formula at 11 months I don’t know baby food like um um onesies when on a cruise for some reason you go through way more clothes and baby supplies than you do at home so what everything think you need double that number because it’s very hard to get

Refills on the ship or in Port shashana again with her second Super ch chat thank you shashana um just a followup should I just take him off the reservation before final payment if the world of micr can’t live without him why make sure I don’t lose out on double triple points if you

Can without it changing the price the problem is it can change the price so shash if you were to drop him from the reservation and it wouldn’t change the price sure absolutely why not but if it does then I would just leave him on there it’s better to save money than it

Is to get some extra Crown and Anchor points personally but maybe you think otherwise uh what hotel recommendations do you have for one night in Miami uh InterContinental Double Tree biscane Bay and the Marriott biscane Bay Double Tree biscane Bay Marriott biscane Bay and of course the Intercontinental Hotel are

Fantastic David sand went to Maya Chan last Wednesday thanks for the recommendation dude that place is amazing I literally was looking at cruises like just to just to get to the Western Caribbean I need Maya Chan in my life is the zipline worth it I mean it’s

Free why not yeah it’s short but the pric is right what’s your favorite show on Odyssey um I think the affectors I think the affectors would be my answer on that one uh Jean Homan Jean thank you for the Super Chat doing an overnight in Aruba

In January any just on a neat overnight activity Oo um there’s a number of casinos on Aruba you might consider going like a hotel going out I mean going out to dinner is really what I would do um you know going to one of these Resorts and and um you know maybe going to the

Casino going to the uh going for a night swim there um the problem is like Resort for day.com in those type places are literally for the day not overnight you could if you were feeling like hey let’s just let’s make it Tony Diaz rain over

Here um book a hotel and do that I mean it sounds crazy but if you get a good rate not the end of the world I don’t have a specific Activity one thing though we did it’s not overnight but we did Once Upon a Time we did a sunset uh

Catamaran Cruise in Aruba that was a lot of fun and absolutely beautiful so that’s something else to consider uh have you ever eaten two dinners in one night come on is is is today Monday name the printer Brian schiffman he’s earned it dude I’m telling my wife

I need like one of those label makers it’s the Brian schiffman printer for sure excuse me what is the best transportation from New York City to the New York port with a group of five and all luggage um lift or Uber do um obviously lift or Uber XL so you get the

The you need you can’t do this in a regular one you need a you need an SUV do that it’s simple it’s easy it works there’s nothing to go like that’s what I would do we have as I mentioned Eric let me put this in perspective when we’re

Going on our cruise in June on Liberty of the Seas out of Cape Liberty in New Jersey um know we’re it’s complicated us getting there but after the cruise when we’re going to Manhattan well number one Tony Diaz said he would not pick me up

At the Port so I’m stuck like can you believe that I asked he was like no I’m not picking you up bro like all right so instead what I’m gonna do is what I’m recommending to you to do Eric which is to uh Pull up The Lift app um lift XL

And you should have no problems there uh next question by the way related to that Transportation question Jen green or anyone from Mii travel does Black Diamond work in New York because that’s I love them here down in Florida they ain’t cheap but they’re reliable uh Brian wants to know is a

Balcony room really worth the money my wife’s me and my wife’s first cruise it’s it’s listen that’s like one of the NeverEnding questions there’s not a right or wrong answer to this there’s a lot of opinions on it if you get an inside room you save a lot of money but

Boy is it nice having the extra space and the balcony as a firsttime cruiser I would tell you get the balcony now if it’s like like three or four times the price of an inside that’s tough but um generally speaking I think for a firsttime cruiser a balcony room is an

Affordable option uh it it offers a lot of space good amenities it’s it’s a good value in the grand scheme of things I think it is worth it for a first-time Cruiser Brian as you Cruise more you can then determine maybe you go for the inside room but as a newbie I would

Recommend it to you uh yeah and I know I said this earlier but I do agree with you thank you again for the Super Chat yeah the Brian shiffman printer is a thing absolutely uh on our recent sing on Odyssey early dining was moved to 5 PM

Do you think this was set up three main dining Times Yes um Terry I believe you read maybe you read the article but in the article where we announced and broke the news that there’ll be the third dining time they are there are basically Shifting the two times to make room for

The third so yes you’re absolutely correct on that ready to go thank you for the Super Chat I’ve done three old waste Clash ships next one booked as Adventure what’s your favorite report on this for this smaller older ship well I don’t know where you’re going um but I’m

Say KML I mean I love KML I in Costa Maya even more Lauren the legend lisco Lauren thank you for the Super Chat had too many love flows last week and missed a live stream hope you enjoyed wonder I did Odyssey was fantastic read so many negative comments before the trip but we

Thought it was incredible all around all right Lauren thank you for reminding me about this thank you for the Super Chat I’m not I’m not yelling at you Lauren I’m yelling at everybody else because you Lauren can do no wrong I’m serious about that ladies and gentlemen boys and

Girls Tony is do not read online reviews of cruises and base anything on them online reviews are notoriously notoriously skewed and unhelpful you should never book a cruise based on an online review it sounds crazy like well why why wouldn’t you do that Matt because people are irrational

In their reviews they’re not they they let like little things harp and and destroy the rest of their crew they give one star reviews for what should have been really like a probably a four star at least it’s one thing it’s not five star I get that but people are not re

Professional reviewers the little things annoy them they harp on things they have different preferences than you have I’m telling you this it is one of the biggest mistakes that anyone can make is to to rely on third-party reviews because the problem is everyone enjoys things differently we have different

Budgets we have different prefer what some person some the classic example I always like to give is go look up negative reviews of your favorite movie or your favorite restaurant and you’re gonna find people that you read it you’re like did they see the same

Movie that I was on and and more your point Lauren you could probably find negative reviews of the cruise that you were on you’re like we were on the same ship this guy is crazy yeah just ignore the online reviews for sure do you think icon 3 will come to

Gison I have no idea wish I did but I have no idea uh yeah Odyssey was fantastic Odyssey is a great ship absolutely uh next question is from favorite star class Suite well I mean is money an object if money’s not an object the Royal loft suite is really nice I

Gotta say that’s a that’s a fantastic room to go into um if money the best value is definitely the two-bedroom Aqua theater um some of those prices can be really relatively speaking of course lower than some of the other Suites that are out there that are Star class but

The Royal loft suite which I’ve sted in a couple times the aqua two better Aqua which St in a couple times those really stand out to me more so like like the ult I’ve ever St the ultimate family Suite but I think it’s a little too

Kitchy for my taste personally um but um but again the two better aquatheater site is one of the best entrylevel Star class rooms you can get and there’s two separate bedrooms which is fantastic for families not cheap though what to do in Seattle prior to the

Cruise uh of course there’s the um the Pike Street Market where you see the first Starbucks it’s a tourist trap but you might as well see it um the I’m trying to think of we went to a number of museums some like the Space Needle was cool the Museum of Pop was terrible

Um there’s a science center which isn’t bad you can go to a Mariners game um so kind of depends on your preferences again kind of what you’re into but there’s it’s a it’s a city there’s a lot of different things you can see there not as much history

Necessarily as there is just interesting and fun things to do but definitely the water side over there is really fun uh Pam do you think R made a mistake of not having a dedicated salarium I think on icon you mean I know Hideway but not as big as much shade I don’t

Think they made I don’t think they made a mistake no I think not every ship needs to be exactly like every other ship that’s out there and I think the indoor salarium is a nice option but I don’t think that you need to have a salarium experience to have a positive

Adults experience I get listen I some I love the shade Pam I’m not a sun worshipper by any means so I’m with you on that front but I feel like um the uh Cloud 17 still acts like a de facto adults only area no kids are going up

There there’s nothing to do up there um but I would say that I don’t think it’s a mistake um I would prefer Moray that would be something that would be really helpful but based on its popularity so far I don’t think they’ve made a mistake

On it just maybe not your cup of tea which is totally fine I mean we all have our preferences out there right uh keone Jones thank you for the Super Chat 46 days Navigator first time Cruiser here and on Cabo excursions yes um ke you’re going in 46 days let me do

That I don’t think that’s whale season any is it if is whale I don’t know look it up but if it’s whale humpback whale season do book The Tour like that we did that in Cabo the first time we went there the first time we did that that

Was in December January so I don’t exactly know when the season is but anyway if that’s the season definitely do the whale watching I was blown away by how amazing that was it was really really cool uh let’s see here next question is from scary scary

Rich thank you for the Super Chat my friend do you or anyone in the chat know of any horseback excursions from a third party in NASA I doesn’t offer one thanks as always I don’t I don’t know if our chat can back us up on this one you know

Rich my favorite places to recommend are of course you know Resort for a day and Resort pass that doesn’t help you because they don’t offer that um what I would do the next stop is check out viator.com VI a t o r i if I’m not mistaken our good friends at Mei travel

Recommend viator.com and they’re reliable and it’s a good place to start with to look for things but maybe someone in our chat has a specific recommendation for you Ronnie thanks again for the Super Chat how many ports have overnight days uh there’s KML there’s Aruba there’s Bermuda

Uh there’s also um I think it’s Cabo on semi titter not always those are the most common ones um otherwise they’re more they’re rarer than anything else um but I would say my favorite one cosmel would definitely be my favorite one I mean there’s so much to do over there I

Love that but we’re doing an overnight in Bermuda when we go in June so I’m very excited to try that one out um yeah I agree I agree with anakah or yeah I think it’s anakah uh if you if it’s in your budget as a first-time Cruiser balcony

Absolutely uh Shar I’m planning going on a western Metro inre in June I have not booked yet and I have a few questions is it too late to book no um I heard you cannot see much at the ports I don’t know what you mean by that

That’s a very vague statement to make that you’ve heard um I think you’ll be able you get no matter which Port you’re going to you’re getting a taste of what to do there but I think you’re going to find that you’ll still have time to do

The big stuff you’re not gonna it’s not like look it’s not like you can’t compare just saying spending a week in you know Italy right but it’s a lot more manageable in a lot of cases and it gives you a good taste for things and maybe you come back later on for a

Different trip but um there’s enough to least see some of the major highlights but just like any City you’d visit share air I think I called you something else earlier anyway uh I apologize um there you you’ll find I think that AC Cruz is a great way to explore these ports

Uh Janet thank you for the Super Chat going on alert for the first time only a three-day cruise which speciic restaurants would you recommend um we’ve done chops zomi giovan as many times looking for something new number one 150 Central Park must do number one number

Two are two on your list um the other ones that are not on your list I don’t love as much um isumi and giovan are the two others I put on your list so 150 Central Park isumi and giovanis sabour is not what it used to be and um

Uh the one in salarium Beast the Brazilian uh steakhouse um whatever that was sril sber Grill I think I was very disappointed with it it’s not as good as landbased Brazilian restaurants it was a bit disappointing quite frankly um Johnny Rockets no so yeah I would pick

150 isumi and giovan I think those are the best three Jee thank you again for the Super Chat go and try to hit both diamond and casino Prime on June uh send Good Vibes dude we had uh that’s uh I I wish you the best of Vibes I had some

Great luck on the in the casino on wonder um and I’ve had some terrible luck before that but man I hadit some big I had my first hand pay in the casino um last week which was amazing uh can you do a live with your other blog writers Melanie how are you

You know what’s funny Melanie when we did our um I think Andre’s still in the chat by the way uh when we did our staff Retreat if you remember last January January 23 we did a live stream here on our Monday and I was in a at live from a

A vacation home we had rented in Fort Lauderdale and the whole staff was there and none of them wanted to be on camera they all haed like and that’s that’s just not their thing I’m not saying they wouldn’t I’m not I wouldn’t invite them

To be on here for it um but um we have done occasionally Melanie over on Cruz blog our other YouTube channel we have done one like it’s me and one of our other writers on there to talk about a specific topic so um but it’s something them don’t being on camera especially

The live stuff anyway but uh it would be fun to do absolutely uh let me get a drink of water here Diane say it again for the people in the back absolutely oh the best part of the chip not the best port don’t sorry my bad my

Bad uh I love the pub uh is there’s the only um Adventure has isumi on the row prominade it’s kind of of neat only ship that has that so I like that and of course the water slides sorry uh next question uh if you need a ride to

Manhattan you can ride in the bed of my truck I don’t think the police would approve of it though listen that is more than Tony Diaz offered me he didn’t give me I like Tony can you please give me a ride from me and my family I got kids

Here and he’s like broh I ain’t helping you out and he crossed his fingers cross cross his hands whatever and then uh you know was just like I was like my goodness Tony how can you be so heartless my friend just Tony Aaron thank you for the super chat

The end all be all what’s good or bad I’m just saying like Facebook reviews like people like you just can’t you could read reviews you read them for entertainment maybe you pick up a little like tip here and there like hey cool that’s a neat thing I didn’t know about

Or okay that’s something to think about for later on but please don’t base your Cru your choice in which ship you go on based on you know um someone’s preference one person’s review because they’re probably completely off base and that’s okay because that’s their thoughts on it’s their

Opinion uh where are they sending people lob primarily Grand Turk um there’s been exceptions but primarily it seems like gr Turk uh Keith Bruce when it comes to the new menu in the main dining room which night is your favorite oo whichever night has french onion soup

Um I think Italian night and French night Caribbean night despite the name actually the menu is very strong as I recall we’re doing the main dining room uh for dinner on on Liberty of the Seas coming up my kids can’t wait they’re so spoiled but I love the main dining room

So I’m looking forward to that for sure uh let’s see here oh Boeing PL yeah in Seattle thank you for reminding of that Roy that’s a great tip right there for something to do in Seattle the Boeing PL absolutely Jeff Leonard with an amazing Super Chat holy moly my dude overly generous

Way too generous hello Matt I’ve been out for a while I’m now back I’m on the Sy in June have an $800 onboard credit from Royal don’t know why don’t question it just take it if I change my room category to lose my onboard credit you

Could the thing you want to do Jeff is talk to your travel agent because how you got that $800 like if it’s a promo like let’s assume Jeff you got $800 because of um um like a wow sale right I’m making there’s so many sales now it doesn’t

Matter anyway if it’s part of a promotion and you were to change rooms you would price at the current rates and the current promotion and then you would lose it so yes quite possibly the only way you wouldn’t lose it is if it’s from Nex Cruise if it’s from your travel

Agent directly not from a promo um or if like royan for some reason gifted to you something like that but if it’s tied to a promo and they can look that up your reservation currently then you would lose that instead so yeah $800 dude I don’t care if it’s the inside room

Sharing with Tony Diaz it’s worth $800 for that one oh smokes H Adventures first time here welcome good to have you here uh km Charles my wife and I are excited to be cruising with you in June nice hopefully we’re on the same sailing Elizabeth first time going on Independence of the

Seas what do you recommend for someone who uses a scooter what’s the entertainment like entertainment’s great check out um Elizabeth go to um royan blog.com in our main menu there’s a link says Cruise Compass click on that and look at past Cruise compasses from Independence that’ll give you a good

Idea of the shows and activities things you can do on board the ship now for what’s it like what do you recommend for someone that uses a scooter I don’t use a scooter so I can’t give you any firsthand recommendations other than of course you may be doing this but Royal

Company doesn’t provide scooters you must rent them on your own so besides that um the other thing they consider obviously is a accessible cabin a wheelchair accessible cabin so you can get your scooter in and out otherwise a standard cabin you might not be able to get the scooter in easily

Anyway uh is there an eight printer on the floor what a great name is the eight room discount worth the f it’s not really a discount so let me be clear on this what what printer on the floor is referring to is if you have eight cabins you can form a group with

Royal Caribbean and whoever is the tour leader so in this case that’s you um that person gets a percentage of the value of those rooms it’s not that big don’t get wrong here which you could then take that money and apply it towards your own reservation and maybe

You get a free room or maybe you get a discount on the room right um is it worth it yeah I mean number one number one if you’re going to do this the reason why it’s worth the effort is because it’s G to be Jen Green’s Problem

Or Amanda from Mii travel as the travel agent is the one you want to work with they’re G to do all the work all you’re gonna do is be like here’s my credit card here’s my other friends names and credit cards that’s it and then you get to reap

The benefits so yeah I think it’s worth it uh Mike scuo Mike my friend thank you for the Super Chat I don’t see a message from you Mike but oh there it I found it do you ever see royal caran ever adding another Western cariban Stu that can accommodate

The big ships Roy Co are not favorites in our house I mean the issue is not Roy Caribbean the issue is where would you like them to go that’s within this the the the distance you can go there aren’t other ports really that’s the problem um

I mean Cancun but I don’t think they have a they have a port there like you need a Port it’s not a real like so well real Qui you could build a port well except for Cancun we’ll take that out of the equation I’m assuming they don’t

Want cruise ships want to right across basically C Mel there’s not like major centers over there that that want it or it’s not easy you can’t just plop down a a a pier and call it a cruise port number one the port itself needs to have

The proper size like it needs to be dredged be able to accommodate like most ports are not naturally deep water ports so you need to dredge it make it big enough so that ships can fail there’s a huge amount of investment approval by the local government Etc it’s not an easy task

What I’m trying to say and beyond that there aren’t a lot of other just options out there this is that’s one of the issues here so I think um and beyond that we clearly rooll just announced that they’re building a beach club in cosmel so I think any hopes if you had

Any that they were going to build like Perfect Day in somewhere in Mexico probably not happening so I would say um ever is a strong word because ever means between now and the of time so yeah sure maybe but I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon I think there’s a

Lot of just logistical realities that are that are facing it is an un Inconvenient Truth of cruising for sure uh let’s see here next question hey Shantel how are you welcome uh oh Tony you’re off I’m just joking Tony I need R from you but I appreciate

That buddy I I appreciate that even though you’re not going on even though you ignore my message about going on the cruise with me I appreciate you buddy now we we’ll be okay I just wanted to you know for for Teresa just you know just just for the

Laughs uh I love Mariner the Seas I love Mariner Julia thank you for the Super Chat my very first Cru on Mariner in June what’s a Musto on the ship the water slides um youve got to see uh The Playmakers is fantastic I really like

That venue quite a bit and um uh there’s something else I’m forgetting water slides Playmakers um oh the ice skating show that’s what it is I love the ice skting show on Mariner really really good garage deep thank you for the Super Chat first cruise on freedom in 15 days

Planning to buy not buy any add-ons will we survive yeah you have a great time listen it’s very enticing to go buy your drink package and this and the you can have a great Cruise without it trust me you really can um you know I I I really

Don’t think you should should look at that as a negative or you’re like oh gosh we’re going to like suffer I think have a great time without it you’ll save a lot of money hopefully more money to pay for another Cruise Ronnie again with the Super Chat

Ronnie thank you again for the Super Chat all future amplifications should include the icon elevators would that be awesome I would love that hey Tom um have you ever thought about cruising as a Solo realan Traveler I’ve done it many times Tom um and I’ve written about it

And done other things about it um last year I did like I already did a solo cruise this year on icon and um I took at least like three or four cruises solo last year Radiance um in Anthem in Europe there were others I can’t think

Of off top of my head I think did Brilliance maybe uh anyway yeah I know I’ve done it many many times I it’s more I I mostly Cruise solo at necessity I’d much rather have my family with me or at least my wife but um but yes no I’ve definitely done that so

Absolutely um Lauren yes so articles on R blog could the date they are published be included they are clearly and I appreciate this the feedback on mobile on your phone you don’t see it but on a computer you would see it uh there that being said we are way

Way way overdue for a um a uh a website refresh there which is in the works I hope uh Sergio thank you for the Super Chat thanks for recommending Aqua 80s on Oasis heading to the noran fs on Anthem 88 days any recommendations for that ship um the shows in 270 definitely

Check them out they’re really really good and I’m very jealous to going to Norway on Anthem I did that cruise last year and loved it it was so good we’re doing that cruise next year on Independence of the Seas with my very good friend uh Kenny cooking yo Linko

And friends and uh I’m very much looking forward to that cruise I that fantastic enjoy enjoy it my friend um let’s see here watching you’re back with you on next year on Ro BL group Cruise woohoo awesome when is the Roy crimin group cruise to Alaska unforunately we have

Nothing on the books juules maybe in 20126 or something like that you never know uh I’m an Italian American and a pretty good cook how’s the food on Italian night will I be wishing I was eating sushi I mean look I am not pretending I’m not going to pretend

Italian food is like as good as your mother used to make it it’s not like I’m not pretending it’s going to be that good uh like to that level like I don’t know what your preferences are quite frankly um I can tell you for what it’s

Worth that um you know our one of our writers here uh Jenna who’s also a YouTube video editor she is Italian-American and she doesn’t mind she never really complained to me openly that the food was absolutely terrible um it’s you know I think it’s passable like listen I’m I’m not going to oversell

Here I’m not going to make you oh yeah it’ll be great I mean I enjoy it for what it is um and um it’s not bad let’s put it that way maybe not the greatest in the world by any means but not bad either uh Chanel thank you for the Super

Chat going on Liberty in April do they still do cigars Under the Stars at the night on the Sky Bar I’m not sure you know Chanel one of these this is why I’m gonna turn this around and give you an little bit of homework here if you can

Check out past Cruise compasses over at Royal blog.com you can look it up on the cruise compasses from past Liberty cruises if they still offer that there I’m not familiar with it like I’ve not been on Liberty since January of last year um and I’m not a I don’t smoke

Cigars so I wouldn’t have been looking for the event but anyway my point is is that look at a pass Cruise Compass and they’re still offering it on those there’s a decent chance they’ll offer it on yours too but no promises uh what do you think of some is

Having a deck 13 While others don’t I’m not superstitious like that so I don’t really care uh next question ah the Teresa mcchain you you skipped my Super Chat my name isn’t Tony Diaz I did hold on a second this this can’t be right I’m going back

Teresa Teresa oh I did sorry Teresa what do you do with your friend that you keep inviting to join you on a cruise and they just ignore your invite you know where is that message in here how do I miss that one because that one was one I could Sergio where is

It dude I I’m oh I found it okay there it is way up here you shake your head and you say to yourself oh Tony when will he learn thank you for the Super Chat appreciate that uh uh thank you times two by the way next question is the casino open on

Overnights stays at the Port it depends on the port Tony um depends on the arrangement that Royal Caribbean has with the port so it just depends on that one it’s not a general rule uh tropical can unfortunately Zone zero is it’s been it’s caput unfortunately there were a lot of

Technical issues with it and they just decided to kick it to the curb unfortunately how does Symphony of compared to Oasis very comparable actually um they’re very similar I like the aqua Show on Oasis better because it’s Aqua 80s but they’re but then again a symphony has um uh Grease the Broadway

No Hairspray the Broadway musical whereas Oasis say cats symphony is much better in that in that regard so but they’re very comparable like um a lot of the features are very similar on there have you ever met Super Mario yes he is a lovely man to talk to really really

Nice uh next question we are cruising on Quantum in three weeks we have an overnight saying Kona do you have do you know how late the tenders run we love to swim with the manta rays I don’t um one thing you could do Heidi when you um

Obviously you’ll be able to see um in your itinerary the times you’re in Port usually the last tender um it depends on the port but usually the last tender is like be half an hour before but it really depends on the port but figure an hour or so before that that end time

Would be what I would plan on there Teresa love all your content curious are you a travel planner agent if not I’m not do you have any companies or agency you’d recommend and why yes Mii travel um I use Mei travel Teresa I I I use I

Recommend them to my family and friends my mother uses them that’s all you need to know they’re they’re fantastic I’ve been using them for a very very long time and thank you for the Super Chat Teresa appreciate you thank you thank you thank you hey Carrie do you think

The bright line Cod station will be a viable option for those flying to Orlando and cruising from Port Canaveral or would you still live to Uber I don’t remember exactly it’s not like unfortunately the station is not like in Port Canaveral it’s gonna be in Coco

Which is a heck of all closer in Orlando I would say this Carrie if you’re following my advice and you are taking the train you’re flying in the day before the cruise and then taking the train over that’ll be no problem at all um I think that would work out really

Really really well quite frankly um you know I would not advise and I think you already know this Carri don’t fly the same day of your cruise but um so from that standpoint sure what happened to your blinds I got mad no I tried to open them and I failed

Miserably um Adam saying by the way for the Italian food skip the lasagna get the chicken parm and T yeah the the chicken parm in the main dining room is pretty darn solid I got to agree on that one what is a good bar to hang out with

Party of 12 on wonder 48 days out this sounds like a Warren at Sea situation developing um party of 12 on wonder need a big venue uh Playmakers it’s actually a really good bar for this I would say Playmakers or the UPS the upper deck on Deck 16 lime and

Coconut uh is a balcony guarantee an indoor cabin with a virtual balcony um no no no no no no no it would be a virtual balcony is an inside room so you don’t have to worry about that any plans on going to Spectrum I’d like to but I

Have no plans to thoughts on adventure or AOS could be Adventure alure Anthem anyway they’re all good my thoughts are no matter which one it is definitely worth going on uh what would you recommend is a Musto thing on wonder of the seas oh man um the shows are fantastic you know

Whether it’s the ice skating show Aqua theater effectors voices if you haven’t seen them yet check them out that’s definitely uh a must do on there the water slides are a lot of fun I definitely recommend giving those a try am I forgetting something obvious um

Oh mason jar that’s the obvious one go to the Mason jar bar not the restaurant’s good but go to the bar Tak in the entertainment in the evening when the band is there really really good uh Ed thank you for the Super Chat is it worth doing an inaugural cruise

With think of trying on Utopia it can be with an inaugural Cruise it’s not a slam dunk yes you should try it there are some caveat number one an an augural cruise is fun because it’s a big party a lot of people on there not Tony Diaz he

Can’t be bothered to to join his friends on these but you know a lot of Big Time Cruisers Go on these sailings because it is like it’s a party it’s like homecoming and and and prom put together it’s really a lot of fun um the problem with home with uh not with homecoming

The problem with inaugurals is the all the entertainment may not be available all the venues may not be available as an example when we were on icon for her inaugural uh the escape room wasn’t available not all the shows were ready the aquatheater show was definitely not

Ready it was a a preview of it right wizard of OA was ready though um so there can be some some things that are not quite there yet but really to book an inaugural Cruise you’re probably you’re going there primarily for the satisfaction for the uh the bragging

Right to say I was there and if that’s important to you then yeah it’s definitely worthwhile um yeah the chicken apartment the main dining room is really good Amanda I agree with you on that one uh next question oh you missed one of the best features the Marin or the bamboo room

You’re not wrong on that yeah that is really really good just finished our first cruise thanks for all the tips and videos James which ship what did you love about that’s awesome dude and did you pick another one that’s also important is the chicken parm Secret

Sandwich still available C yes I had it last week a week ago today man man I could go for one right now how are the waves in February Western Caribbean you know unfortunately that question is like me asking Mandy if I come to visit you at your house a year

From now next march will it rain and of course you say Matt that’s silly I don’t know maybe it will maybe it won’t who knows same thing with waves it could be super flat it could be Rocky there is no guarantee any time of the year that you won’t have waves or

Motion in the ocean it’s and by the way if anyone out there say don’t go on hurricane season because that’s the time that you can have them you can have very calm season hurricane season um my point is is that it really varies it really runs the gamut

And so um there there’s no telling quite frankly Mandy I know that doesn’t put your mind at ease but I got to be real with you what’s a Broadway show on Anthem it’s actually not a Broadway show it’s a West End show we will rock

You um are there any videos of Utopia no because they’re not out yet you can’t get the ship’s like literally under construction still but we’ll have one when the ship is ready um it’s hooked in all you can eat restaurant yes it is when you book your transport from Royal

Caribbean airport to cruise port when is that charge I saw no email nor anything in the app it should be tied to your final payment quite frankly uh let’s see here would I be able to use any cash on board yes I mean you can deposit it into your account

Like you go to guest service like hey here’s $300 deposit and then charge it with your cpass you can’t directly use you can’t go like you know to to the store and buy you know something and give them the money but you can put on your as a credit against your account if

That makes sense and last question of the to day is from Ryan Anthony Franklin hi first timer help I’m trying to plan a trip for five I’m having a hard time finding greams that will work for us number one if you haven’t done this already work with a good travel agent

Mei travel is fantastic it’s who I recommend and use and I’m telling you this like dude when I say they’re gonna help like I mean it’s gonna save your sanity like times a thousand and probably save you some money like just that’s like number one use a good travel

Agent M travel who I recommend number two stop looking for a room for five people that’s your mistake I said what are you talking about why instead of there are very few rooms that can accommodate five to begin with and most of them are super pricey instead book two connecting rooms

Instead it well isn’t that crazy expensive actually not especially compared to sweets it’s actually a very affordable option we do this all the time so book two people in one room three people in another room get look for connecting cabins that’s the way to go um it’s much more affordable it’s

It’s reasonable and you’re going to find a lot better options there so yeah travel agent and then ask your travel agent for two connecting rooms that is the play my friend on that note guys we have run out of time here this evening thank you so much for joining us here we
