Why did you do a comparison if your not going to be fair? The guy seemed more open. The young lady is a Royal loyalist thru and thru. Everything was about Royal and how it was close when Royal doesn't win a category. If you don't automatic say guys is better than Johnny Rocket your a loyalist. Lol 😅😅
@@mrmd31 appreciate your comment. I (Julie) agree that guys is better than Johnny Rockets. Sorry if it came across unfair - I love and appreciate Carnival - and NCL - and Princess - and yes, Royal. There are other awesome brands and ships too. Ultimately, I’ll take any Excel or Oasis class ship any day! But it’s fun to hash out our loves and likes and dislikes! Love that you watched! Thank you!
Such a fun video. We will be in Costa Maya for the very first time in April 2025. When researching what to do in Costa Maya, I came across all these videos of Mahahaul Beach and all the different restaurants/beach clubs on the beach strip. It looks so unique and looks right up our alley. I noticed that Celebrity doesn’t have any excursions there so I discovered in these videos that you can either take a taxi or golf cart to Mahahaul. This will be our first time NOT purchasing a cruise ship shore excursion. May I ask you what time you boarded your golf cart, how much time did you spend at Mahahaul , what time you left Mahahaul, and what time you returned back to the port (and how much time you had before your cruise ship departed. We are really looking forward to Costa Maya. Mahahaul looks like such a fun and authentic experience.
Hi! We always get off the ship early to maximize our time. The walk from the ship to Red Shirt Mahahual Golf Carts does take a few minutes. It's a pretty large port area. I'd say we were to the rental place within 20 minutes of getting off the ship. The ride by taxi or golf cart is about 10-15 minutes, so you can be there in less than an hour if go straight there. There are plenty of places to park your cart, but definitely mark it somehow as there can be several there; ribbons, magnets, anything to distinguish it. We were able to spend plenty of time in Mahahual to enjoy some food, drink, and beach and a few local vendors and still be back to the port an hour or so before all aboard. That gave us time for a quick walk through the shops. We really recommend Mahahual, especially our two favorite restaurants. There are also packages you can purchase through Viator and TripAdvisor that will take care of getting you there and back. Hope you enjoy it and let us know what you decide to do over in our Facebook Community Group! See ya on the seas!
@@HowWeCruise Hello How We Cruise!! Thank you so much for taking a moment out of your day to respond to my questions. I am looking forward to our cruise in April 2025 like you can not believe. It will be our first cruise since November 2017. The venture over to Mahahaul Beach is what I am most excited about since I stumbled across your video. We would have never heard of it without your video. It was so much fun to watch so I watched it again. Thanks again and have a great weekend! (Now, to figure out what to do in Belize). Regards, Robb and Richard, Atlanta, GA
Thanks so much for watching. He handled it like a champ. You can't tell, but our niece also got stung pretty good too. We have a lot more videos (we're backlogged) so stay tuned for more to come.
#replay We want to sail Alaska one day! I think Julie sounds like Kathy Lee Gifford! Better check that copyright! Your internet is just like ours HAHA.
So much of the food and entertainment options are included in your cruise fare its hard to list here. Main Dining Room, buffet, Basecamp, Surfside, and so much more to eat. Aquadome, Starburst, Wizard of Oz just to name a few. Email us at howwecruise@gmail.com if you'd like more information or to book this amazing ship!
Great video!! We will be in Costa Maya in just a few weeks and I’m doing my research on the golf cart rentals. Did you pay online when you made the reservation or when you arrived to pick it up?? Thanks!!
Hi! Thanks for watching! You’ll love Costa Maya! We reserved online in advance and paid when we picked it up. They recommend reserving in advance to guarantee they’ll have a cart available for you. There are two places to rent from. We used Red Shirt Mahahual and they were great! Say hi to Eduardo for us! facebook.com/mayahualgolfcartrental?mibextid=LQQJ4d
We had a lot of fun that day! I really want to go back and kayak from Cas Cay! The turtles were very cool. The one that was right under us was so funny. Brian didn't see it for almost the entire time. I kept saying, its RIGHT THERE!
Nice video. St. John is one of our favorite places. We have been blessed to hang out there several times. The hermit crab apocalypse was a little creepy. Looking forward to more content. Good stuff.
Thanks! St.John is one of my favorites too! (Julie - but I think I have Bri on board too). It was really cool to see the hermit crabs! But.... lol.... them crawling all over my feet was total ICK! haha. Working on more now... so much back log! Can't wait to share it! Hope to See Ya On The Seas soon!
Nice vlog. We need to get back to St. Thomas. Maho Beach was draining the day before, so we chose to stick around the port when we docked in St. Thomas. Not a big fan of snorkeling, but it sure does look fun! Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Thanks for watching. Seeing the sea turtle was cool - and the sand shark also! The views are just breathtaking. But all those hermit crabs were CRAY!!!!! Very cool AND creepy! lol
It was a great family day! St. Thomas (& St. John) have so much to offer for everyone! Next time we go, we've already decided we're finding the Taco Boat!!! <3
Thanks for the video. We are trying it with 5 of us lol. Kids are 6, 9, and 12. Too good of a deal to pass up. We just did an ultra spacious ocean view on adventure of the seas and were spoiled by the size for our first cruise. However the kids are very excited for a balcony on the 2nd cruise!
That is awesome! Have a great time! Balconies definitely give that “extra.” You’ll be fine - especially those ages. Join our community fb page and share pictures! Happy cruising! Thanks for watching.

Each ship generally follows a schedule. Crew takes advantage of port days for cleaning and maintenance. We see a lot of painting and window washing on these days. I believe these windows were only cleaned on our first port day. I suspect weather and changes in itinerary play a part.
I mean, it could easily be a toss up between Swim & Tonic 🧉🍹🍺 and the Hideaway… but Cloud 17 actually had to be drained (not because of a child). 🤷🏻♀️

Awesome cruise trip ❤ All the videos on your channel are fantastic. But your video views are lower. Because your SEO Optimization is very poor. Your Optimization needs to improve a bit. Your videos are not getting enough views. If you do SEO for your videos, I'm sure your videos will get a lot of views. I sure can rank your videos 100% organically, and you will get a lot of subscribers. Let me know If you need help with that.
