Hello #beachbums and welcome to my channel! As you will see from my videos, cruising is my favorite way to travel. I have been fortunate enough to cruise almost monthly on the Carnival Radiance out of the Long Beach Cruise Terminal. I share lots of information based on my experiences on the ship and in the port of Ensenada.

Thank for the tour! We are staying in this exact room in 15 days. Now that I know only one closet I may bring some metal hooks for the first time for closet over flow. It’s two girls so we will have some clothes!!

Quick question I am leaving this Thursday on the Firenze I have a 10:30 to 11:00 check in time ~ I did the same check in time for my daughter & her husband (we are going in separate cars) my son in law now says he can’t get there that early what will happen if they go later than the stated boarding time?

Hi Hani..Just came across this vlog. Hotel Maya is so popular. I've heard so many cruisers say they love to stay here pre-cruise. I love how you always give attention to the details. It's looks like a large and beautiful property with an amazing location being so close to the cruise terminal. I agree it would be nice to stay a few days there before a cruise. There's so much to do in Long Beach too.

We have a B2B on Panorama later in the year. Recently found out about Rightway Parking. Big company with parking at many major airports and cruise ports. They lease out (guessing) hotel excess parking capacity and resell it. For us, we got 15 days of parking at Marriott Courtyard, 3 miles from the Carnival terminal for $209.12. Same parking with Carnival $345. After throwing in some cash for Uber both ways, I figure we'll still save about $100 vs Carnival's parking. And we don't have to deal with the hassle's of; get in line, drop off bags, drive off site, park car, take shuttle back, find wife. For us, it will be park car, call Uber for run to Queen Mary (avoids the traffic crawl at the Carnival Terminal), short walk to Carnival Terminal with bags. IMPORTANT CAUTION - parking garage at Courtyard Marriott is only 6'!0" in height. Rightway says NO TRUCKS, VANS, OR SUV's although shorter SUV's like Honda CRV's and Rav 4's would probably fit. We'll just drive the sedan that day. Also important with Rightway Parking - NO HOTEL STAY REQUIRED - it's just parking. My understanding is the Funfetti cake is only available on Embarkation Day on the Lido Deck, and they can run out, so get it early. And yes - it is good.

Sorry, but I am glad that they don't have the old muster drill anymore. It was the most miserable experience of the cruise. Standing out there on a hot and humid day, waiting on everyone to show up, and then listening to the long presentation. It's even worse when you have young children who have no desire to stand around that long.

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. I could see on the deck plan that it looks like there was a forward deck but couldn't tell if it was public. Same question about deck 5 and even deck 4. From what I can tell you can't go around the back of deck 5 because it's reserved for suites. From this video looks like you cannot go around the front of deck 5. Bummer. Limits deck 5 to just the side strips for restaurants. No strolling around the ship. And I presume all of deck 4, outside, is crew only even though embarkation occurs on that deck.
