Carnival Celebration - We LOVE San Juan | Our FIRST Carnival Cruise | 2024 | Cruise Vlog 

Hey everyone!! Like & Subscribe for continuous cruise content! Stayed tuned for the rest of the Carnival Celebration vlog and our next cruise out to Alaska on Royal Caribbean's Ovation OTS! Thanks for watching and Happy Cruising!! 🍻😎☀

Everytime I cruise Royal I say I'm going to stay only Royal, Then I start missing the Carnival Passengers I've met over time. Love the Royal Ships, Love the Carnival Passengers. The Carnival Oasis of the Seas would be my favorite.

YOU ARE BOTH SO HUMBLE. VERY REFRESHING AND A PLEASURE TO WATCH

I found you guys accidentally. You guys are the cutest couple and my husband and I love watching your cruise vlogs! You both seem so fun and genuine. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your next cruise vlogs, in the meantime we'll be binging your previous sailings!

AND... Guy's burgers are the best at sea!!!! 😋

Nice! Haven't been to San Juan in forever

we have not cruised royal because we are trying to get to platinum on carnival we have 3 more 7 day cruises to go to get to platinum then we will try royal

We have been loyal to Royal, but you guys make Carnival look so fun! Keep the great videos coming!!

👋😎👍party hearty!!! 🎉

The food there IS fantastic. It wasn't nearly as busy a day when I was there last and we were able to have lunch. My first time eating mofongo and it was so good! I tend to bring home food as a souvenir (not literally lol) and had to try to learn to make it at home. I've made some decent mofongo but nothing like that. I really like San Juan, though I know a lot of people feel like it's boring. It's something out of the norm from all the other Caribbean ports. I totally get you on branching out to other lines and missing your perks. I am really curious about others, Virgin in particular, but man. I'm platinum on Carnival and would lose those benefits, along with the fact my Carnival cruises are extremely cheap due to casino deals. Our upcoming B2B on Celebration is in a suite and I only paid taxes, grats and port fees. Makes it VERY hard to branch out. Honestly need to even be doing trips other than cruises entirely.

I am in the process of booking our family on the celebration on Dec 8 2024, working on 15 cabins. Love for Ryan and Kala to Join us. Meet in Jacksonville and we charter a bus to Miami the day before. Mike J

You guys are my favorite cruise channel, love the content. I am obssesed with NCL, you guys should check out the norwegian prima or the joy!

We're Diamond on both Carnival and Royal, we think the difference is,,, Carnival is participation, Royal is sit back and watch! What we mean is Carnival has more and better participation activities, like deck parties, etc. where Royal has better sit back and watch like Broadway shows, the ice shows and the diving shows!

My first cruise was on carnival and I really enjoyed it yes the blue card is not fun I wanna go on the boat your on but we’re going to Bermuda in September on royal so I’m really excited about that

We were at the “Home of the pina colada” in 2019 and there was no line, we were in San Juan getting on a cruise, it wasn’t a stop for us. I still have a pic of my drink and it was much larger and very “yellow” in colour lol. It was delicious. It’s possible they changed it or it was just to busy when you guys were there.

I enjoy your vlogs. It’s nice seeing your perspective of a Carnival ship being new to the line. I’m taking my three daughters on the celebration in 3 weeks. Can’t wait. I like the tip about the outdoor seating for the Italian restaurant.

yay! new Vlog! always a great way to start the week!

Love the sunglasses Kala where ever did you find them so cute.

We'll be bringing the Ovation of the Seas over for you. We board Ovation in Honolulu on May 2nd and arrive in Vancouver May 11th. Thanks for another great video.

Hi Guys…Fun video! We are Diamond Plus with Royal Caribbean and we get five free alcoholic drinks everyday, so it’s hard to cruise any other cruise line and pay for drinks. Plus we really love Royal ships the Best anyway.⚓️

Great video Ryan & Kala. Love Old San Juan

Great vlog, we are sailing Celebration April 30th. Our 21st Carnival cruise. The tax on the drinks is because you were in San Juan and it's a US territory.

You all made kite flying look so cool... I can't wait to do this with my husband!! 😀😀

We have been on Royal Caribbean,Norwiegn and Carnival and we love Carnival will not go back to the others ! Enjoy your trips !! We have so many friends from our Carnival Cruises that we still keep in touch with ❣

I've only been on one cruise, November 2022 on the Carnival Conquest for 4 days. I loved it. I didn't find it too much of a party ship. This coming November I am going on the Carnival Magic for a 6 night cruise. Nothing for 2024 but we have a Disney cruise planned for 2025. I'm beyond stoked for that! Let's see if I can manage one for 2024. I picked Carnival as it is cheaper for a solo cabin cruiser from NB Canada as we need to fly in for it. I would like to try some other cruise lines in the future. No one I know likes to cruise or wants to cruise, so my dad and I go together. We each have our own stateroom. Soooo pricey. Cruising is awesome. Enjoy all of yours! ❤

Another great video. Love the kite 🪁 flying adventure. I’m definitely a knock of Oakley guy myself. On a funny side note which one is it Are you a Blue Jay fan or a Yankees?? Have a great day can’t wait to see St Martin.

Thanks Ryan and Kala for this vlog. It 100% sold me on the Celebration. My concern was that with this many people on the ship it would feel crowded but from your videos it doesn't look that way. Did you feel crowded?

We are on Harmony of the Seas in September and then a transatlantic on Odyssey in April of 2024. We’re Diamond on Royal so sticking with them for the perks. Plus we’ve sailed Carnival twice and it was less than great. Would sail NCL or MSC again before Carnival.

Just found your channel and love these vlogs! I'm Platinum with Carnival and find it hard to try a Royal cruise cause of my perks on Carnival haha

We are sailing on Celebration in June! Very excited! Really enjoyed your video.

Thanks so much for the great video. As fellow Canadians I appreciated your review. We usually go on the RC oasis ships we may try the celebration next March, so thanks again :)

I like your videos. You’re way more laid back than a lot of other cruise vloggers. So you’ve got a new subscriber. PR is one of my favorite ports. The food and drinks are so good. In that area with the food trucks is a trick called Tico Tipleta. Next time you go back you have to get a tripleta sandwich. As far as not speaking Spanish I have a secret weapon. My wife is Puerto Rican so I always have a translator with me.

Next cruise will be December of 2023 on this exact ship & same itinerary. I heard that DJ is one of thee best DJ’S carnival has.

We live in Edmonton and love carnival cruises and are looking to go on the celebration in Feb! We have been on the splendor, glory, valor and liberty. Our last cruise was Jan 2016 and are so grateful we found your vlogs. We love your tips and opinions! We may even try a royal one day. Maybe. Lol

Celebrity will match your Royal status and you really should try the Beyond or Apex. I think you would LOVE it!

Great video once again! We will be on the Jubilee on February 10th, can't wait to check out these Excel class ships! Glad that you got to try out Guy's Burger, definitely a great burger at sea! BTW, did you get to try out Blue Iguana Cantina, for either lunch or breakfast? Some really good breakfast burritos! Looking forward to your other videos!

That was a no fail kite day with all that available wind !❤️

My fiance and I are going on this exact ship and itinerary next month, so I've been super eager to watch your vlogs. When you were in Cucina del Capitano I thought I was going crazy - my dad and his fiance were sitting right behind you guys!!! so cool!

Great way to spend your day. Carnival is definitely a Fun ship! We were diverted to San Diego for 2 1/5 days due to weather once. We paid taxes on every drink.

Hello again Ryan and Kala, Great vid. My wife and I went on the Carnival Magic for our wedding anniversary a few years ago. We were in San Juan right after the big hurricane. San Juan's trees look much better. We found Carnival a crowded experience during Xmas holidays compared to our recent Xmas cruise on the Princess Caribbean. Much better service and much less crowded as well. Any plans on trying Princess or Holland?

I don’t drink so I haven’t been billed for tax but I remember hearing that you do have to still pay it while in the US. So while still docked in Miami and then in Puerto Rico would make sense, although suck.

We’re you on the celebration from April 2nd to the 9th

We can't wait to go to San Juan. Have never flown a kite at a port. Looks like a lot of fun. Really fun video. Thanks for sharing.

I like your style of vlogging. Keep up the good work and the good information and your channel will grow.

We cruise both Royal and Carnival…….love both but lean towards Carnival when it comes time for booking. Gonna book Celebration for Feb…..looks so nice

Diamonds in the rough ❤

Going on my first cruise in 3 weeks. This video has been very insightful! I really can’t wait now. Thanks 😊

Just stumbled upon your channel. Love it. As a platinum member of Carnival, I am thrilled you enjoyed Celebration. My husband and I will be on Breeze in November and Jubilee in April. Jubilee is Celebration's sister ship and the largest in the fleet. :)

Ok can’t get over this.. what’s the answer for arumps😂 also I love the videos I jo on the 25th this month

Fun video guys. Im a carnival fan. Love watching your videos. Kayla is so cute. What do both of you do for a living? You guys cruise a lot!

I love watching you guys have fun! Love your videos!

Looks like a very fun day in PR. I really liked the kite idea. Good episode!

The reason they charge the sales tax on drinks at port on Carnival and not on Royal or NCL is because since Carnival has the 15 a day drink limit, they have to "process" your transaction immediately to keep count. On other cruise lines such as royal with unlimited drinks a day, they wait until you're at sea to finish processing your transaction.

3:11 love your content. I am now a fan. Love your outfit. Can you post a link?

Stumbled across your channel and love your videos! I have to say me and my husband are loyal to Carnival, but we live in Houston and are only about an hour away from the Galveston port! Cant wait to see your vlog for Jubilee, we are booked on that one for next October so well be watching for tips a preview for our trip!

Love your videos. We will be on the Celebration for Christmas and New Years doing a B2B. We will be doing a B2B on the Venezia for Christmas and New Years 2024. Will be on Carnival Panorama for July 4th 2024. You need to just cruise more Carnival to get the perks. We are Diamond with Carnival. One thing to mention when on the Excel class ships and you like the patio, they do offer diner for free each night in Summer Landing. The menu changes nightly. you need to check it out on the Jubilee.

Just found you guys. Love the videos. We are Carnival people, but we have only done 1 Royal and it was a smaller ship. We’re only gold on carnival because we alternate Disney and cruising. We have the Jubilee booked for feb 3! Ports we’ve done so we are going to enjoy the Havana cabana!

Great videos. We are planning our first cruise. Would you recommend royal or carnival??

Awesome vlog, looks like you had a great trip. I recently went on Carnival splendor and had an awesome time - I also vlogged it 🤗

Loving your videos just a fyi the jubilee is the same size as the celebration :) I’m a loyal carnival cruiser I’m going on my 10th in a week and doing the celebration in October I can’t wait! Welcome to carnival lol

My first cruise will be Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas this coming September out of Galveston. I'm also considering the Jubilee from Galveston next year, or the Harmony from Galveston. I absolutely love the look of the new Carnival Celebration, and Mardi Gras, and the Jubilee is supposed to be pretty much an exact replica. Your probably not going to really notice, but the Jubilee is showing to be the largest in Carnival's fleet in terms of gross tons, when she arrives. I would love to try the ICON in 2024, but wowser she is premium priced, of course I travel alone, so I have to pay double.

Love your videos. We are actually taking our first Carnival cruise in November on Celebration. Thank you for doing these very detailed videos. I feel like I'm there with y'all. LOL But we normally cruise on Celebrity and we LOVE them. So we're excited to see what Carnival has to offer.

Love the vlog guys! I’m actually literally sitting here trying to decide between Carnival Celebration, Mardi Gras or Royal Symphony for a New Year’s cruise. Never been on Carnival. We love Oasis class on a Royal but Celebration, Mardi Gras is like $2000 less (for 3)! Symphony is 8 nights v 7 nights but still. There is also Carnival Vista also $2000 less than Symphony for 8 nights as well. We are VERY tempted, so your vlogs are helping! We are also going to Alaska at the end of May, can’t wait those vlogs.

When in port in San Juan the tax is charged because San Juan is a United States territory.

You guys are awesome, enjoyed the video. 😊

They burgers are fire

Love the video,where are Kala’s shades from?

Our next cruise is next week to Bermuda on the NCL Pearl. Navigator of the Seas in October and Carnival Venezia in Jan.. we like to dabble

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Up in Arms Threat Level Midnight Chili's (Where she felt God after winning her Dundie for Whitest Sneakers.... *WOOOOOOOOOOO!* ) 😁

Did you guys book the Jubilee in February? We’re booked for February 17-24, 2024

Carnival Jubilee January 20,2024 🎉

What’s this place called ? Castle ?
