Nice video if someone may be in to Cruises. I'm sure that getting out of your van felt great. Keep the great videos coming!!

👙I’m so excited! Girlfriends and I hung out every year for 5 years on Orient Beach at the Bikini Beach restaurant before we all had too many kiddos to make it work any longer. We stayed in the villas on the hill overlooking the beach. We day tripped to Pinel Island every time too. Frequented the French restaurants in Grand Case every evening with La Cottage being our favorite. Thank you for the memories and I’m so happy you liked it too!💙💚

Thank you for showing us the tour of the island. We went snorkeling off a catamaran on our St. Martin excursion and anchored around the corner from Maho beach. Didn’t get to see much but I did fall in love with that beach.

Really, really loved this one! Your guide was amazing too! I would have been a crazy (crazier) person in that Market. So many things to look at and think about buying. As usual, thanks for taking me along!

Another OUTSTANDING video! Pre retirement cruising was our escape from the corporate world, our standby to refresh. It was pretty easy since we lived in Central Florida. Now that we are retired and fulltime RVers we still love cruising. Now we cruise out of San Diego on HAL our cruise line of choice. Love all the islands you visited. Once the island tour is in the book for St. Martin we love booking a day out on the water with either Random Wind or Celine charters...OMG what a great day on the water all the food and beverages you can consume and away from the crowds. Hope you are both now cruise fanatics! Safe travels!

So glad you enjoy them. Thank you very much. 🧡🤓😊 Brian and I feel like we did well and don’t have any regrets really. They do have what is called the Sanctuary that you can rent, but you have to get on the ship immediately and go straight to the Sanctuary to sign up otherwise it gets sold out very quickly. The truck is to sign up for the early boarding group so you can be one of the firsts to sign up. This is only if you want a nicer place to replace by the pool in more of a private (and pampered) setting. We did not pay for any excursions because we did not want to be tied down to anything just in case we change our minds. However, there was one excursion that we would of liked to try that sold out early and it was the one where you drive an underwater scooter and you have this huge “bubble thingy” on your head that does not let water in (similar to an astronauts helmet but much bigger. You do not benefit to know how to snorkel for that. It looked fun and interesting. See as many of the shows on the ship as you can. Walk in about a 1/2 hour early to get a good seat in the theatre. In the dining rooms, they are nice but they don’t serve you big portions, so try a dining room at least one night to experience that and try the buffet in the evening once, then decide which you like best. There are a few restaurants that do not have an up-charge but they will tell you which ones they are. We are glad we did not purchase the drink package. Just purchase drinks as you want them, unless you are a heavy drinker. 😂 Hope this is all helpful.

Awww.. She missed the best beaches! Beautiful, serene locations. Also.. French side is safer than Dutch side. It's a common misconception that there's more crime on the French side, but per police report, French side is safer. Good video overall. Stop and get some local food from the LoLo next time.

Yeah, I remember 10 years ago I wanted to visit, but the island was experiencing a massive crime wave, and I also read the French side was more dangerous, and it seemed many criminals would commit crime on the Dutch side, then flee to the French side. But recently, the crime rate seems to have gone down. Most of the crimes were being perpetrated by migrants from high crime countries like Jamaica, Haiti and T&T, but I think many of them left after the hurricane, because right after the hurricane is when the island experienced its last major crime wave

Sorry for your experience with the earlier music. :( Music can do that though depending on what the song is. During editing, I always set them all at a capped limit, and keep everything there, but some sound louder and believe it or not, it also depends on the system you are watching/listening on. Probably why we hardly ever get complaints about it. We asked our movie director friends multiple times and they have been telling us that it sounds perfect every time on their system. We understand though, I think we have all watched TV or movies when certain music gets very loud and sometimes it’s soft. No worries, we understand fully. 🧡😊🤓
