I sailed all over the place w my Dad when i was a young squid, Nova Scotia , Bermuda etc from Long Island NY. Let me tell u that holy crap, when a whale came to breathe up nxt to the sailboat either at night or day you knew it, they got some stinky rotten fish breath lol. I prefer cruises now.

Hey guys just discovered your channel searching Luminosa as we are booked for late May 2025. I was wondering when you guys were on this cruise because the weather looked great, we’re hoping for the same in May. Love the few videos we’ve watched, thanks!

@parodeejay 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! We put the date in the upper left corner of every single video, as well as in the video description, for the curious. We've done just about every month in Alaska, and we tend to prefer mid-May since it's still snowy and "feels" like Alaska to us, though the bears and salmon are around in late-August into September.

Been on carnival luminosa 3 times went on her the 1st cruise out off Brisbane last year in November and the Christmas 🎄 cruise and 1 in march all were fantastic 😊 miss it heaps and all the staff and food was fantastic 😊

We had good food a great time on the ship. We love duck hunting on the ship. We are looking to do a little getaway cruise we like Carnival's private islands. We have cruised other cruise line we are strictly Carnival cruises now.

@cathydrew2569 10 месяцев назад

I really loved the setup of the Luminosa.

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

It had a lot of the Spirit-class elements and feel, which we enjoyed overall. Little congested in some areas, but we usually tried to avoid them if we could during peak times, ha ha!! :P

Jay, my basement bathroom had to be completed redone due to a plumbing problem. While the new shower is gorgeous, it’s the same size as a Carnival shower!

@shelcheese8344 10 месяцев назад

When all the people get packed into the public areas, it might seem a bit tight! At least the garish colour scheme will be less noticeable. Three cheers for tablecloths!

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

There were some bottleneck and congested areas for sure, but we enjoyed the parts that were more like the Spirit-class ships that we know and love!! :D

@sherrylnorris3197 10 месяцев назад

We had amazingly time on the Carnival Luminosa in May on our Cruise to Alaska Tony and I stayed in Seattle got the CityPass for 3 days Went to Space Needle, Chihuly Garden, Glass, Aquarium and River Boat Tour. Pike Place walked to the Gum Wall, stayed 1/2 mile from the Riverfront. Then boarded for our cruise. We got to see Mendenhall Glacier. Big glaciers fell so bad in the water we didn’t go on the expedition of the Glaciers. We rode the train saw bears and eagles White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. Have a blast may go back one day.

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

We loved that CityPass option for Seattle, and it sounds like you hit all the good hotspots like we tried to back in 2019, ha ha. Glad to hear you had an awesome time in Alaska as well!! :D

We enjoyed it overall, but the Spirit-class is a favorite “small” ship for us. They didn’t seem to embrace any Italian theming on this ship as they did with Venezia, but still a solid ship!! :D

Love the Harry Potter joke. We’re doing an Alaskan cruise in September on Encore, I know you’ve been on that cruise. Would you say you enjoyed it a lot or was it just a so so cruise for such seasoned cruisers please?

Norwegian? We haven’t done Encore to Alaska but it has a huuuuuge observation lounge that seems perfect for viewing the outside from the warmth of the inside, ha ha. That’s should be a nice one overall!! :D

@joycetrauth2310 10 месяцев назад

6:15pm ET - I watched earlier this morning, but in my TV and I can't add comments there. After discussing with my sister I decided to add a comment. I almost always enoy watching your videos, but would like to ask you to omit your comparing ships and classes of ships. I would rather enjoy looking at the ships you are on. Also, I find videos of urinals not to be appealing. Sorry for the negativity, but I will still continue to watch.

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

We’ve found that comparing “new” ships to other older concepts and classes that folks might be familiar with tends to be helpful to most. It gives something potentially familiar to relate our current unfamiliar experience to, but we try to keep it to limited doses overall.

@nathanharr5662 10 месяцев назад

Which do you like better the Spirit or Luminosa? Which has better entertainment too?

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

We would go Spirit overall. Something about a true Spirit-class ship is always a winner for us!! :P

@phyllischavis1347 10 месяцев назад

Just wondering is the ship scooter friendly and getting off the ship at ports too

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

Every ship we’ve seen has to meet certain ADA guidelines, and Carnival tends to be especially good in that they put out digital PDF copies of their ship maps online showing all accessible routes and venues around the ship!! :D

@susananderson618 10 месяцев назад

As one experienced cruiser to another I would love to hear your opinion on cruising to Alaska Seattle vs Vancouver. I have only cruised Alaska out of Vancouver. I am researching 14 days to Alaska in the future and my partner does not fly.....so we can drive to Seattle and cruise or we can take the train from Seattle to Vancouver to cruise....would value your opinion since I am sure you have cruised out of both ports....oh we are in our 70's both retired.

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

We always enjoy the Vancouver sailings more than the Seattle sailings overall. It’s usually a calmer, more scenic route, and the itinerary tends to be better because you don’t have the extra required Canada stop which most cruise lines seem to schedule as a throwaway!!

@susananderson618 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, exactly what I was thinking as well. Much appreciated you took the time out of your very busy schedule to reply. @@parodeejay

Every time I watch a Carnival video I am reminded why I will never cruise on them. This ship is particularly ugly and seems very tight in the public spaces.

Definitely a few bottleneck areas, but we’ve found that with certain classes of ships more than others. Meh. :P

@kris_the_king_of_florida 10 месяцев назад

Not sure I like that ship from what I've seen, nothing in particular just general preference. And it seems completely wrong for Alaska.

@parodeejay 10 месяцев назад

This ship was a bit like a confused Spirit-class for us, with some of the Vista-class concepts piled in, but we still found enough to enjoy about it overall. I’m not sure if they’ll end up keeping it in Alaska season after season, but we’re curious to see!!

@neilcharles2520 3 месяца назад

People that has just started cruising in the last 25 years,has no idea what cruising was about and food quality on the ships back then,garbage is being served on the mega ships right now..I have been cruising for over 40 years,and only do The Alaskan cruises for the scenery,i eat at the paid restaurants and The Chef's table..spend my time on the balcony enjoying the scenery...The good day are over !!Will be on The Luminosa in June...My first cruise with Carnival was on The original Mardi Gras...700 passengers....
