My wife and I watched your cruise videos for a week before we went on our cruise (11/3/19 - 11/9/19) on Carnival Magic. We were super prepared because of your vids and had so much fun....thanks for doing this

I do the exact same thing with ice! As soon as I meet my cabin steward, I slip him a $20 and ask him to keep my small carry-on cooler filled with ice for the duration of the cruise. I never have to worry about needing ice for my drinks in my cabin. And I'm really big on ice. It's one of my necessities, lol.

i know, I always look for them on purpose, I love to watch their energy \

The tip about using the tv to view the front of the ship, from an inside cabin, alone, made this worth watching. 👍

Another tip for inside cabins, if you need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I always use the bathroom, and leave the light on , and shut the door as much as possible without actually closing the room. The little light provided by the bathroom light is enough to see where you are going:)))

EECC Travels Thank you. Also, if I am sharing a cabin, if I get up, I will walk to the bathroom door, open the door enough for me to turn the light off. After I enter, I turn it back on. After I finish, I turn the light off, open the door, and then close it enough so where I can reach in and turn on the light. Consideration of your cabin mate goes a long way

Cell phone flashlight works well too 😄👍🏽

Could get walkie talkies (2 ways for those who know them as that) instead of using the app...some apps don’t work for some cruises so this works great for smaller cruisers like p&o.

PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO THEM ABOUT THE KIDS GOING TO MEET AND GREET NIGHT. If your kids go, they will easily make friends to hang out with during the kids activities for the rest of the cruise. But if they don’t, it can be EXTREMELY hard to adjust. It’s wild, and I was an outgoing kid.

One of the first things you should do while waiting for your luggage to be delivered, go to the grill and eat. You usually board around noon or 1 and dinner isn’t until 5 or 6. You will get hungry, so go and eat. The ship serves lunch and many first-timers don’t know this. They only serve until 2 or 3, so don’t forget to go. ;)

my first cruise we boarded at 1030 am. Just a little excited, lol. I wasn't aware of the food/lunch issue until it was too late, and we didn't bring snacks because I thought it's got a buffet, we won't ever be hungry. WRONG. Definitely eat before going to your room and bring snacks is my suggestion. You never know if you'll get the snacking urge late at night.

Serenity is the main reason we are taking a cruise. I'm so glad you talked about the adult decks. Sometimes you just have to break away from everyone. Thank you for sharing!

Most adorable couple ever! Such a joy to watch. I'd love to have the 101 cruise tips list.

I unpack until the Safety briefing then I get ready for dinner and drinks! You should never skip the safety briefing...it is the law and they can put you off the ship for not following or going to the safety briefing!

We are always unpacked well in time for muster drill and we are always there early. On this last cruise they kept paging people who should have been there but weren't!

Just found your channel. Love it. These are great tips! Just got home from our first cruise. We went to the Caribbean and sailed on Carnival Magic for 8 days. What a fantastic trip. Highly recommend it. Carnival team all over the ship was so delightful. One tip is, if you are looking to buy something specific...wait a few days, the ship always has sales as the days go by.

My first cruise back in 2012 I forgot to put my phone on airplane mode the first 4 days and my bill was $1200. Thankfully AT&T credit over 90% of it.

I have basically three priorities when I get on the ship - eat, drink, and let the good times roll! I always end up bringing a couple of books, but never make it through too many. I end up people watching, and doing so many activities, but those moments of relaxing and unwinding are fantastic!

Hi Pattie! The tips should be in your email. Happy cruising :)

Continuing to enjoy your videos! On the Sunshine last year, our cabin was across the hall from a laundry room. People brought chairs and lined them down the hall waiting for their turn. Many appeared to be doing laundry from the whole week as if they didn't have washing machines at home or something. It lasted kind of late sometimes and they weren't exactly quiet about it. Might be something to try and check out when picking a cabin! My tip in that regard is "white" ares are not your friends on the deck plans. Check above, below, or next door. These are generally crew areas like stairways or storage areas.

This is the second video I’ve watch from y’all and you guys are so informational and y’all are couples goals, so adorable!!

Wow, what a great tip about leaving the TV on the station with the front facing camera if you have an inside room. I always said I couldn’t sleep in an inside room because, although I need it to be pitch dark to sleep, I need natural light to wake up. This is a perfect compromise! Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!! We are a family of two girls and plan to cruise next summer. Very helpful. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Happy Cruising 🛳🛳🛳

Awesome tip about the post cards and cards.

Best advice regarding cell phone roaming charges. Thankfully, AT&T sent me a text message offering a $100 base rate charge for usage.

Take a long pair of spare shoelaces - I had a balcony and used them tied together and around the bolt in the balcony divider and a chair as a clothesline. Made drying of my bathers really easy.

Glad I found you guys! You’re one of the more helpful channels. Cute couple!

Talking about Secret Decks!!! If you ever on RC Symphony of the Seas - ( or any other ship for that matter that has front of the ship open air theaters for shows) and they have pre-registering for the show that you missed. Don't stand in line for what's left public sitting. Sneak in from Secret decks right above or right below and take a stairs at the nose of the ship. They don't block those ways.

Great info! Didn't know anything about free steamrooms! Tnx.

You guys are so cute! I can't stop watching you lol. I wish you lots of years of happy marriage and enjoyable cruising.

Other than that, I head straight for my 1st vacation cocktail! Happy cruising!
