we were just about to take the plunge for Oceania Suite 11083 on the Vista to only be told that it's directly under the buffet. For that type of cash I don't want to hear chairs and tables being set up every morning (which happened once on a high end suite on Celebrity) would love to know if anyone has any experience with that suite and noise

Great video. Have watched your vids previously, however, decided to finally subscribe. My question is how many shows to they have per night? I have an agent now who I have booked two world and others cruises. You sound very knowledgeable however. May I contact you without others knowing? Thank you.

If the ship didn't make it, it could sink be then, but I'm glad it didn't. I'm just adding on that it could sink if the accident happens.

Having cruised on Regent Grandeur - for the $$ 💰💰 We DISAGREE Mike - not the “value proposition “ when compared to Silversea Silver Muse and actually Seaborn Food on Silversea is higher mark than Regent - AND you get a Butler . ALL shore excursions included all top shelf beverages included . Honest comparison - Regent places THIRD against Silversea and Seaborn

Well we have just been on Azamara Quest which is our 6 th time the only one we not been on is Onward ,as you can tell we love them May 2024 ,this cabin is identical to our one apart from shower doors ,we was thinking of going to try Oceania but they are pricey 🤔🛳 .Which not say that they are very nice ,one thing there is only so much food you can eat 🫢 ,which is just as nice as Azamara .The thing is the style of all these ships are all the same in there layout. Take Care Cedric 🛳🥂🤪

Mike I really enjoyed this video. I am considering doing this next year but my biggest concern is hiking up the mountain in the dark alone. Will there be people around? I am worried I will get lost or fall. Is the trail well marked? Thanks for any advice.
@MikeLukinsАй бұрын
This one no longer goes up the mountain..
@ericandbeethovenАй бұрын
Araviapa does a great job of marking the course. You also will have a gpx course that you can download to your watch / phone. Based on the most recent year's results, only 2 runners out of the entire field had to experience trail darkness. They were past Elden when the sunfall happened though. About 3 others were on the course for an hour after dusk but as you see, you'd be on flat trails with street lights and sidewalks.

Hi Mike another very helpful video, thanks! Nice watch. A month ago you did a video of the Regent Grandeur suite. The Cove is priced about the same, and has similar area, so seems like a fair comparison. Unless I am missing something the Cove comes up short .... The Cove balcony is 1/3 size with just one lounger. It does have a jacuzzi. Regent has like 3 times the space and furniture. The Cove bathroom is 1/2 the size, or smaller. It has just One Sink, no Bath Tub, no WC. It's a one person room. MSC does not seem to offer spacious luxury bathrooms in any of their ships YC or Explora. These are seen in Suites in ALL other lines. Its odd and frustrating. MSC suites also do not have a offer a second bathroom, except in the suite at the front and OS.
