I love to cruise, travel and explore. Come away with me! You will see travel videos and vlogs from the 40+ cruises I've taken on Carnival, Norwegian, Princess and Royal Caribbean cruise lines. I sail in everything from interior cabins to penthouse suites, and everywhere from the California coast to Kotka. 🛳️🗺️

I literally cannot find the alcohol anywhere on the website or the app😅 I watch these videos every time and I go look. And then I get aggravated after 2 hours after spending another $150 on things that's not alcohol lol
Here is a video where I explain how to purchase, and the link is in the description of that video. Royal does a good job of burying it because they make a lot of money on those packages! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YHvtTHNzZ0Y.html
If you are a solo cruiser, you already get double points. Would I get 4x the points if I booked the plus package and cruised solo? Anyone know the answer to my question. Thanks in advance.
One of the perks for Premier is reserved seating at the shows. We've never really counted but we can't recall seeing more that 50 seats. Not sure we want to compete with a few hundred others for the "reserved" seating. LOVE getting a 2-fer on cruises credited!! 😊
Good point - those reserved seats are a great perk of Premier! Being able to show up 15 minutes ahead of showtime instead of lining up for an hour is awesome.
It might have an impact on me if I weren’t elite already. We buy the plus package but we do wait until we hoard because of the increased insurance. Being elite and not necessarily needing any additional cruise points/days, is there any other reason that you can think of to take advantage of this?
I don't see an advantage for Elites except building days/credits toward qualifying for a new loyalty level that may be added in the future. So many Elites want a higher tier with new or greater benefits to work toward.
I got premier for my cruise on the coral, only because: 1. I got a 970 dollar Costco shop card for getting premier package when booking with Costco 2. Unlimited photos, I am going hard on the keto and need photographic evidence that I was at one point lookin' super fly 😂
We just took a 29-day back-to-back cruise so we could finally become Elite. We have always gotten the Plus package ever since it was started with our cruise. This honestly makes me think that they are going to add another tier to their programs. So, this does absolutely nothing for us.
Congratulations on becoming Elite! I guess if you sail during this promotion it will help you toward being the Most Traveled Passengers one day! Although now I'm going to question if people have actually accrued the total days stated at the Elite party! Hope this won't impact laundry turn around time, that is one of the best perks. 😝
This is very interesting. We normally do PLUS. WIFI and gratuities alone make it almost the same cost as booking them individually. This will be good for us because we are looking at cruises in this time frame. Thanks for the great information.
I agree, after gratuities and WiFi it doesn't take much - like one casual dining meal and using the app - to justify the cost. It also takes the stress out of cruising. Thanks for watching and happy cruising! Tell Favor I said hello! 👋🏻
I’m enjoying the new 360 camera as well but it seems a little blurry to me and your voices are muffled. I’m not sure if it’s my iPad settings or what. None of the other comments on this video or your first 360 video mention they are having the this issue. So it makes me think it’s me. It’s only happening on your two 360 videos.
There should be a little gear ⚙️ button on the screen where you can adjust the video quality/resolution- I am not sure why it is defaulting to lower than 4K but that’s what you want to select. Unfortunately we haven’t perfected the audio yet but we are working on it!
Totally confused about this video, if you don’t want the desserts, don’t eat them. Some people think this is fabulous. The desserts are not the only thing that comes with the plus plan. If it benefits you for the most part get it. if it does not don’t. If you want to stand in line for these great big desserts do so, if not go get a gelato. This is not a big deal at all, and I don’t know why it’s being made into such a big deal. As you said it is brand new to the ship so of course there’s going to be huge lines.
😢 um.. i definitely get the uap and drink so much. Easily between Mimosas in the morning.. Coffee.. 5 frozen and a few mixed drinks.. ohhh yeasss. Miami vices all day and all night. Add in some espresso martinis 🎉 .. i added it to my 8day solo this Aug for my birthday.. I'm very excited
Hi👋 I am sailing on the Island Princess out of New York City next week. The sailing will cover New England, Charleston, and Halifax. Again, the sailing departs from and returns to New York City. Although I purchased the Premier package, will I need to be concerned with this matter occurring on my sailing out of NYC? The LAST thing I need to happen is to have these types of surprises on my bill/folio at the end of my sailing. Please let me know🙏. Thank you.
I haven't heard of these regulations being an issue in NYC - but just in case I would bring a bottle of wine for each person in the cabin so that you don't risk your sailaway toast! Have a fabulous trip, I love the Island!
HI HIllary. Next time ordering Amazon, just have it delivered to your hotel. I do that all the time and have never had a problem Just have your C/O and name. If you know your room number add that too.
I am sorry for live chat AND comments being disabled on this video initially, I obviously do not know how to use RU-vid features properly! Thanks for watching our first 360 video and I hope you'll follow this playlist for more!
Funny that I came across your video because I just book the Coral Princess Jan 2026 Panama Canal cruise from FTL to LA and the Sapphire Princess Antarctica cruise the same day. Thanks for sharing and happy sailing!
The hotels have not recovered from the depression called covid after 15 years being in a recession....Sometimes thee smaller hotel just a mile back are far better then the ocean front ones....Ane teh smaller hotels have excursions far better the bigger hotels and a lot less expensive then the ship ones......You are smart getting your own food which I find far better then what you get a restaurant......I'm looking forward to your cruise.......
"We looked like two fat teddy bears hugging!" 😂 damn girl not even but still hilarious 😂 It's interesting how malls are still hanging around. My husband is much older than me and a Gen Xer so going to the mall to "hang out" was a large part of his youth. He constantly defaults to "going to the mall" to buy stuff and I have to remind him that every mall within a like 50 mile radius is closed down 😂
