Good info! What did you cut the tube with the spout at the end.
Get to the point jesus
I was so confused, thanks a million times sir🙏🏽
Canceling gratuities? Noooo, like others have said - those tips go to a lot of people you don't even see, who help make your vacation amazing! Tip extra on top of the gratuities to the people your interact with. And for those who think "tipping culture" is bad - it's not, companies use tips as a way to underpay people and most people can't really afford to make a living from their wages without tips. It's not a culture its just how the system works and if you aren't tipping - that could mean some families could go without a meal or utilities. So ALWAYS ALWAYS tip.
This is not correct. There is a button underneath the front of the seat to hold down and pull the straps out.
Where? Between the feet?
Thank you thank you thank you!🙂🙏🏾
which month was this?
May of last year.
Wow Thank You! Nobody mentions this! Other Videos just say "Drrrr Push the button Below!"
Thank you for the video was very helpful
Thank heavens! So easy
Thank you. We always cancel the automatic gratuities and tip ala cart the first full day of the cruise. We see this only as a means for cruise lines to track the tips received by the wait staff to control their pay. We will be taking our first Princess cruise on June 15th with the Premier Package that includes those gratuities.
This is an innovative solution.
My issue with my bagger is that the tube is shorter that the one you got and its cut at a 45 degree angle longer from top to bottom so when im mowing it vibrates itself out and shoots grass all over me. Lol.
I think I'll have to seal it how you go it there with the rivets and make it a permanent connection. Thank you!
@@sochoa2362 I'd love to hear how it works out for you.
Omg thank you!!!! Was losing my mind
The junkest pos mower i have ever owned. Frame broke twice and the rear end fell out twice as well. I shouldnt have to weld a 4-5 year old mower back together.
I am headed to Alaska in August on an identical itinerary on the Discovery Princess. This was a very informative and helpful video. Thank you.
I must note that the gratuities is shared for the staff you see and you don't see. So canceling your gratuities is kind of a crappy thing to do, just my personal opinion. Still a very informative video.
Thanks for the comment. I'm actually surprised at how many people feel this way about gratuities. It is eye opening. I am very much against tipping culture, myself.
This is awesome! Great work!! My toddler was hating how tight it was lol
If you watch closely he picks up the first bin and sends it, pulls forward to get in position for the next one and immediately pulls out his phone.
I did not even see that!
@@conciseisnice yeah we messed up when we took the phone off the wall
You better get a new one for free wtf!!! Lol
They totally did give me a new free one! 🙂
Don't cancel gratuities. If you can't afford the gratuities you cant afford the trip so wait until you can afford it. The tips go to cabin stewards, waiters, laundry personnel people you never see who work behind the scenes and if you were only to tip stewards and waiters you would be shorting the hundreds of support people who work very hard to give you a luxurious trip.. Please research this to better understand. This is how these people support themselves and in many cases send money back to family members. Even when factoring in gratuities cruising can be a great value but consider it part of the cost of the cruise not an option.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, John. Very insightful.
I agree! The employees work hard! All the food is included (except for extra dining menu options), so you don't get a bill where you can tip. You can't tip all the staff individually in person in the dining areas, staterooms and employees throughout the ship, so the gratuity set by ship goes to them! We also left a big tip for our stateroom attendant went we left. We also tip if we bought drinks that were charged to our room/account. Concise Is Nice, please don't tell people to cancel the gratuity! You are short-changing all the employees involved in providing people a wonderful cruising experience!!!
Does it cause any problem to smack your nose normally when you've healed completely?
As in being hit in the nose with something? No, it really wouldn't. I haven't had any issues with this. Because your nose will heal back just as strong, I believe. Definitely wouldn't want to get smacked in the nose within a few weeks or couple months, though, because that would definitely hurt :).
Am going to Alaska in Sep2024, so your tips were invaluable, thank you
I said June 1st. Discovery princess. I’m hoping the ship is fun. 🤩
That's the ship I sailed on! Loved it! I hope you have a great trip!!
Great video! Thank you so much for making this. It was really nicely done. I always like to check out the KZread videos from people who visit places I am going especially, the cruises. However, I do not agree with canceling the gratuities. I agree with you that tipping has gotten out of hand and I do try to stay firm in tipping for service after I have received it rather than giving beforehand. Additionally, for me, the gratuities given on a cruise ship are different. I do not believe that the employees get paid what they’re worth especially when they give, outstanding service. They depend on those gratuities. They are working hard and doing their best trying to earn those gratuities. They know that you have the right to take them off. That is just something I would never do. I personally, always make sure to budget those gratuities in. Thank you again for your video, I enjoyed it.
Thank you for watching the video and I'm glad you found it useful :). I appreciate your insightful comment about gratuities. It's a hot topic I think and it's good to hear other opinions about it and reasoning for keeping gratuities. Makes a lot of sense what you've described. For me, and I think a lot of travelers, removing the optional gratuity is a great way to travel on a perhaps tighter budget, which is why I include that in the video. I think a lot of people don't know it's even an option and would be grateful to save some money. I also don't like how the cruise adds the charge automatically and it's up to passengers to take initiative to cancel if they elect to do so.
Great video thank you
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Enjoyed your video-we will be hitting the same cruise stops in mid June (on NCL). We are excited for all our excursions-Mendenhall Glacier, Private VIP Car in Skagway & horse powered trolley in Victoria, BC. Did you have lots of rain?
That's awesome! Those sound like great excursions. We had some rain but I wouldn't say a lot. Maybe every other day or a little bit of rain each day. I took a light rain jacket around but only used it a little bit when it got cooler in the evenings, or when it was raining. Or sailing on the ship with the wind it got pretty chilly. Most of the time at port I was in a t shirt or long sleeve shirt.
When was your cruise? I am on the RC Quantum of the Seas on 5-20 and they cancelled the Skagway port and put in Icypoint straight.😡
Aw man sorry they canceled Skagway. Did they say why? My cruise was actually last May.
@@conciseisniceI guess the hill or what caused the road to the road to the closed. I went on the train in 2012. It was great.
I would be so embarrassed canceling the gratuities. Gross.
Why is that?
@@conciseisnice The gratuities go to multiple people, not just your room steward. Over 1000 people work on that ship. Princess doesn’t keep them. I gladly pay them, plus generously tip the folks I interact with on top of that. It’s definitely a hotly debated topic, but I definitely wouldn’t call it a “travel tip”. Sorry, but It’s cheap, and trashy.
@@groovypotato thank you for sharing your opinion on that. You make good points. I can see why you'd want to pay gratuities and I'm glad you can afford to. I stand by cancelling gratuities myself because it's a great option for me and it's a great way for a lot of us to save money and be able to make a cruise like this work for our budget. Personally, I'm not a proponent of tipping (or gratuity) culture--it's gotten out of control--, and I feel that large corporations should pay their employees fairly instead of expecting customers to compensate for their lack of fair pay. I'd much rather tip for exceptional service instead of by default. That is just my personal opinion.
@@conciseisniceLet me tell my story, my mom was a waitress for 40 years and if she made a tip of .25 or more she was happy. I asked her years ago what her biggest tip ever was,? She got a $100 for Christmas from a regular. I pre pay my gratuity and add a little more if they are special. I am going to be 74 in 5 days and never held back my tips. Not sure if you know this, TIPS stands for? To insure prompt service. She told me that years ago.🥴
Cheap, innit, not to tip. Once you said you cancelled you measly $100 or so gratuities I lost interest and respect. Those people work so hard and spend months away from families just trying to make a living. You can afford pricy vacations off their hard work. Shameful.
Thank you for taking time to make this video! Even though we will be there via Royal Caribbean next week, we found this very helpful. :)
I appreciate the comment! :)
I hope your trip is wonderful!
This is very helpful 😎
I'm glad! :)
Thank you, I can’t find that info anywhere in book
Hi, from the UK, brings back memories of my bucket list cruise to Alaska, way back in sept 2012. I had exactly the same Princess cruise itinerary as yours, but way back then, i was on the Golden Princess. It was awesome, did the White Pass Scenic Railroad, and helicopter, onto a glacier, in Skagway, Seaplane, over the Misty Fjords, in Ketchikan, and the Lumberjack show, and whale watching, and Mendenhall Glacier, in Juneau. I would go back in a heartbeat, if i could afford to do it all again, ha.
Hello! I'm glad to hear you had a great experience. I would do this cruise again as well! Definitely a good time.
Hi what was the temperature for the length of your cruise.?
It was between 40 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit when we were there (5 and 15 degrees C). I found myself wearing a light/medium jacket much of the time in the morning and evening, but during the day I was usually in a T-shirt.
Mannnnnn I'm so glad I found this video because my 3 year old is tall and I almost bought a new one because I couldn't figure out how to make them longer. I don't even think I saw this in the lil booklet and if it was there it wasn't explained well enough lol... thanks!
You're welcome! :)
Thanks for sharing
Hi, how can we contact you for business inquiry?
Thank God i found this video. So simple and straight to the point. I was about to go purchase a new car seat.
I had mine done 11th April in the UK my nose was fully blocked 1 side I had probably 1 day a month I could slightly breathe out of it but after surgery I can now fully breathe out of both nostrils my tip is still a little bit swollen and one side of bridge is still boney bulky but I can now breathe my nose is now straight and luckily I had a speedy healthy recovery still have a long time yet for recovery but so far super successful I'm on day 15 recovery now and I feel fantastic no black eyes they went after 2 days the nurses was shocked my permanent splints that was removed a week later said they was the cleanest they have ever seen and said although its really swollen they said it looks beautiful now and I absolutely love it , Dr Jassar of Castle Hill is an amazing Dr he truly has turned my life around I'm so thankful to him !
That is great to hear! Congratulations on the successful operation!
@conciseisnice thanks man life is such a breathe of fresh air now not only has swelling pretty much completely gone it looks 10x better my taste has improved and my smell has heightened itsalmost like I'm getting too much air now 😂 but I have slept like a baby since my splints was removed
there is a metal lock under the seat that you lift up and can pull the straps forward to extend them.
Is that something you could share a picture for or video explaining that? I've not been able to find such a mechanism myself.
I dont make any decisions in life based on what the CDC or FDA, has to say anyway. They definitely do not have our best interests in mind. I look at it like this all water can be re-treated, boiled, filtered, set in the sun, or distilled to make like fresher & healthier again & alwaya used for hygeine purpsoes of body & environment.
My intention is to filter my 55-gallon barrel water before I drink it anyway.
That is a great idea.
Thanks a lot - I would not have figured that out on my own!
Thanks for the tips. Please could you give suggestions about if it’s necessary to arrive to a hotel one day before and after the cruise, and which hotels you suggest.
I definitely recommend arriving a day before the cruise, just to prevent any mishap if there is a cancelled flight (this has happened to some family members of mine). I don't have any particular recommendations for hotel, but I'd say just something in or around Honolulu since that is where the ship departs from.
Great information! Would you recommend any other cruises in Hawaii or is the Norwegian is the best to see most of the islands? Thank you 😊
That is a great question! This is the only Hawaii cruise I've been on myself. I know it was the best option when I took the cruise a few years ago, because a lot of the other cruises visiting Hawaii left from Los Angeles, so they added on a bunch of days to get to Hawaii. Whereas with the Norwegian one it was the most efficient way to visit all the islands at the time.
@@conciseisnice that’s what I have heard. Was the ship nice? My friend called it a Tin can 😂 lol.
@@SandyB4975 I didn't mind the ship! I don't think it was really fancy, but it felt nice enough. I would compare it to Royal or Princess--not much difference.
I just installed my son's seat earlier today and I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out how to loosen up the straps. I Googled it and your 2:32 minute video came up with the most simple solution and/or feature ever. You can't imagine my relief once I figured it out. Thank you so very much.
You're so welcome :). Glad to help! Was the same way for me.
Would you be able to use a handicapped scooter seeing the things on Hawaii?
Yeah I would say you could, as many of the things to do can make accommodations. There are lots of pleasant drives that could be done with great views. Actually, a great lady we met on the cruise was in a wheelchair, and she seemed to be having a great time. So it certainly seems possible. I'm not sure how much she got off the ship, however. So yes, you could probably see more than you might think, but I'm sure there would be certain things that wouldn't be possible. It would probably be best to look specifically into the things you are interested in doing and seeing what kind of accommodations they are able to make. I imagine a lot of the bigger sights to see do, like Pearl Harbor, Polynesian Cultural Center, etc. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much boss! I had the same issue but at the 2:30 mark it was just the sensors weren't aligned. 👍🏾💯
Just what I needed. I was undecided as to which method would be better. Think I'll go with Aqua Mira next time I change the water. Thank you.
I think the extensive modifications you made to it prove it's a bad product. Appreciate the review. I'm going to steer clear of it and go with an off-brand solution, I think.
A question. Cud you breath through silicon splints ?
Yeah, just not very well. Kind of like having a really stuffy nose.
Thank you! I didn't have to replace my sensors, but you helped me figure out what my problem was! Just had to reconnect one of the wires on the sensor!
