You make very interesting documentaries
I’m enjoying seeing the non traditional stops around the ports. I’d love to see a Q&A from you all. Your backstory, life on the ship, etc.

We are looking at many days at sea from L.A. to Hawaii and then on down to the south pacific and plan to do more "on the ship" and "back story" about us then.

I can’t wait to hear your backstory!
Truly appreciate you doing these videos about the Ultimate World Cruise. I have watched every episode so far and plan to continue to follow you throughout the entire world cruise. You do a great job. My wife and I and our two year old twins would like to do what you are doing someday. Thanks so much for taking us around the world with you!
It's nice that you are just exploring and seeing the 'real' places rather than all tourist excursions - it's so interesting. Looking forward to the next instalment!
Greetings from Valparaiso-INDIANA... I've been waiting for this release. Enjoying your cruise vicariously. Thank you

Hello from Valparaiso-INDIANA! Thanks for joining us!
Through your videos, Bob Allen’s videos and the empty nester videos. I am getting to experience something I never would be able to. Please keep up the good work. You were blessed to be able to take this cruise, but even more blessed because you are sharing it. The street art is wonderful. More city should do this because research shows that it cuts down on graffiti or tagging people respect the work of an artist.
Thank you for walking and climbing where I will never go.
❤❤ Zarko great haircut👍 ❤ your videos.
I love at the end that you could hear all the seagulls
Beautiful! Thanks for taking the time to share!
Hubby and I agree, Z got an awesome haircut! Thank you for the street tour. I wrote down Mario Celedon to find out more about him later; seems like he is a pretty significant artist! Thank you! Can’t wait until your next episode!

There was some incredible art work there. The experience of Z's haircut was just a good as the cut itself.
We are thoroughly enjoying your videos. We have visited quite a few cruise ports around the world but not on a world cruise. Your presentation is superb and very educational. Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Nice and relaxing city and cuisine tour. Always enjoyed watching. Looks like drones are not allowed in Chile.
Thanks for taking me along on your trip of a lifetime! Loved seeing Valparaiso, brings back lots of memories from when I visited a few years ago. Great haircut! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Love seeing all the street art. Great Video
Absolutely love your narration!

We saw so many funky cool coffee shops and restaurants there on the hill with fantastic views. Just no time on a one day walk. Would be fun to stay there a few days though.
I am so much enjoying your videos
I am from North Caroling and we love to cruise just not able to take longer trips because not retired yet and I am loving exploring with the world with you guys. Your videos are great with such detail and looking forward to many more. By the way since it is my profession he did get a good haircut.
Great video.❤

I'm enjoying your videos. Could you share everyday things like money exchange, ATM, can you exchange money on ship, doing laundry, etc..?
@bztravel
6 ай бұрын
There are ATM's at most cruise port terminals. We haven't needed to use it. Most places take USD, we always ask but to get the best exchange rates it is best to find a Money Exchange house in the city and compare rates. Most vendors and restaurants take debit/credit cards but vendors on the street on at outdoor markets like local currency.
I felt like I was walking the streets with you guys. I appreciate that you aren't 'with the crowd' kind of travelers and like to do your own thing. Another question for you. What editing software do you use for your videos or is it all done 'in camera.?' Also, do you upload to KZread on the ship or use the internet when you get to a port? Just curious. I know it takes a lot of work but at day 18 you still look like you are having fun. Nice haircut by the way.

We enjoy the exploration, not knowing what is next or right around the corner. The surprise we might find or the interesting meal. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for many more great ports of call.
Love seeing your tours on the stops! Curious about currency at all the different countries your visiting. What do you do when visiting the local restaurants etc?
@bztravel

Most countries and restaurants take debit/credit cards which is nice if we don't have the currency. We use Uber off the ship if we don't have the local currency for a taxi. We find it is better to use their local currency especially for exchange rates.
The University of Valparaiso in the USA is often called "Valpo".... There is too much random graffiti in Valparaiso, Chile.
Eighteen sea days to view … graffiti? At least you didn’t pay for a “tour” of faded spray paint.
I really enjoy your videos, especially your maps and graphics but I have to say, I would have just given the cab driver the $10. The average Valparaiso cab driver makes about $500 American dollars a month. You are on a world cruise that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars... I think you could spare a fiver.

@helenmulvihill2997...Giving away money like candy just because you are American is arrogant and teaches people to beg and expect American style tips. Don't do that if you travel abroad.
So sad to see all that poverty and grafitti.
I enjoyed seeing the murals. Didn't enjoy the judgement and disrespect to artists.
