⭐ About Travel Beans:
Hello and welcome to our channel! We are Alex & Emma, a British couple who have been exploring the world together for over 10 years - from backpacking to vanlife:
2012/13: We both embarked on our own solo backpacking trips through Southeast Asia, where we would eventually meet at a hostel in the mountains of Thailand and begin traveling together. After a year and a half of backpacking around Southeast Asia & Australia, we returned home and to the corporate world!
2015: Travel Beans was born and we filmed our first videos on a road trip around Europe with friends! This was our biggest trip yet.. and you can go back and watch the entire adventure because we filmed ALL of it! This trip took us through Russia, Mongolia & China, on the longest railway journey in the world. Followed by highlights such as staying on a local island in the Maldives for a month, going on safari in Sri Lanka, couchsurfing & hitchhiking in Korea, seeing the snow monkeys in Japan, island hopping in the Philippines, trekking 60km through the centre of Myanmar, exploring the Indian Himalayas, and checking out some of the incredible US National Parks.
2016: Despite an unbelievably memorable year and a half of travels, which we were incredibly grateful to have had the privilege to experience.. we found ourselves in New York City, battling depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on.
2017: After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle. We left the UK with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a continuous travel lifestyle happen! We both got online English teaching jobs to be able to fund our travels and to keep creating videos. We can't quite believe that our younger selves decided to take this plunge but we are so grateful they did as we are still on this journey today!
What now?
Over the years, we've discovered that we LOVE road trips and even decided to renovate our very own little VWT4 van into a campervan to be able to enjoy vanlife and spend more time on the road. We are now the proud owners of 2 awesome little campers - one based in the UK and one that we keep in the USA. You'll often find us using one of these vans to explore Europe and North America. If you enjoy this kind of content we'd recommend checking out our Italy Road Trip series, USA vanlife series and our Japan in a Tiny Van series as well as our UK vanlife content.
Our time spent overcoming depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. We love sharing the highs and lows of our trips through our videos and hope to spread a little positivity and light to all of the beautiful people who take the time to tune in and watch each week!

@TravelBeans this is my first time ever hearing of Airalo - what a fantastic idea! Alex, I am right with you re those intrusive thoughts around heights. I also feel that pull, like the void is pulling me over the edge. It's like subconsciously my mind is focused on that sensation of going over the edge and falling all the way down (based on my fear of heights no doubt), so I feel like my body is being pulled over. Awful feeling.

Actually, if you miss the ship, the cruise will leave your passport with the port authority. That is why most cruise lines tell you to leave the passport in your safe. And yes, have a copy on your phone. The recent family in Alaska was missing a passport--ie the cruise line could not find their passport--apparently it wasn't in the safe. We cruise often, and this is common knowledge.

The night my father died, my mother said that she never got to go on a cruise with him because he was sick for 15 years. So my wife and I bought her a cruise to Alaska. 8 of us went with her, I was bummed spending 30K on a trip what I deemed, "An Old Fogy trip." Wow was I wrong. What a blast. We all had the most fun I have ever had. When the trip was over, I wanted to climb back on the ship and go back for another two weeks.

I also found it to be quite boring, but perhaps that was just the particular cruise I happen to have been on.

Just an FYI tip - you should always take your passports with you when you leave the ship. If anything does happen and you find yourself being a dock runner, you are then stuck in a foreign country with no passports.

Having gone on several cruises, I believe the hole point of a cruise is to relax the mind as well as the body. Being a little bored, cut off from home life and the stress, is good for mental health. Must haves on a cruise is personal music and a couple of books.

In fairness, cruising isn't designed for people with babies as you cannot enjoy the various entertainment offerings. Having said that, once the youngster is five or so, most good cruise ships have activities for them. If this hasn't already been suggested, I recommend that you follow one of your British vloggers, Emma Cruises. My wife and I have been on several cruises, one of which sailed from San Diego, California to Hawaii, visited four or five islands, and then returned to San Diego. Each direction was five or six days at sea. Because of the many activities on board, we never felt bored or at a loss for something to do. One day in each direction, we just laid about our cabin and watched old movies.

For future reference: You can find non crowded portions of the ship. I swim early every morning before the pool is full and then hang out in the adult area of the ship. The adult only places are the best. You have your sweet cute baby this time so that's not an option on this cruise. Find the continuous decks onboard and go for a nice long walk. I have to agree that the shore trips aren't worth the cost. I usually look up things to do at each port and do my own thing. Safe travels! 💞

I would love a week of water views, travelling and relaxing.

Kelly, maybe try a 3 day cruise? In most ports, there are ships that offer a 3 day weekend cruise and a 4 day Mon -Thurs cruise at prices that start at about $200. Remember, that includes all your food, entertainment, and activities. Many Royal Caribbean ships have ice skating shows that are dazzling, aerial silk shows, aqua shows featuring high diving, and the usual singing/dancing performances- all included in the price. By the way, the bigger ships include several places to enjoy a meal or snack for free! My kids love the ice cream cones!

I love the days at sea, but that is because I love the peace and tranquility of just watching the ocean, reading a book, taking in a show or playing trivia. This cruise just looked packed at all the available places and boring as hell. At least you had a balcony. I always get inside staterooms and then find a place on the ship to chill. Getting off at the ports is great, but doing an excursion that is on your bucket list is fantastic. Swim with dolphins, whale watching, nature hikes, city tours. This cruise and all the late night stuff just wasn’t your cup of tea and this cruise ship just wasn’t a good fit for The Beans!!!

I was able to relax the most I had ever been able to since the kids had been born. No cooking, no dishes, no laundry, no cleaning, no dropping off and picking kids up from school, no homework, no worries about parking or reservations. Just relaxation! I loved it! I haven't been on one since the pandemic, because I worry about the germs, but maybe someday.

Research is your best friend. There is tons of cruise info on line and on YT. Tendering is common and Santorini has a reputation for crowds and lines. It's also very hilly. Cruising for us is about relaxing. If you want lots of activities you need to go on a larger, newer ship. But, I will say, there are activities on smaller ships too. You just have to check the schedule each day. I personally know several people who reluctantly went on a cruise because their spouse wanted to and they fell in love with it too. So, for all of you saying "never", you really don't know until you do it.

I've been on one cruise. It was with Royal Caribbean and was actually pretty great. I think you'll find that the experience of cruising varies widely with the cruise line and ship. Your cabin was pretty nice, but the rest of the stuff seemed pretty boring on the ship. Not to mention trying to get everyone on and off. I bet you'll experience the same bad stuff at embarkation unless they stagger departures like some ships do. But you should try that line and see what you think. We had a great time!

I have been on a couple cruises out of Long Beach California and can honestly say we had alot of fun. It was a learning experience for sure but I would advise inviting an avid cruiser along with. They can help you navigate activities based on prior experiences. Also to not drink on a cruise is an admirable lesson in self control because most of the people on a cruise it seems are there for food and drink. Great video. Noah looked like he had a stellar time.

i don't think that's a bad cruise it's just that you are not cruise ship people. and that's totally ok. cruise ships are to relax in a beach chair, eat lots of food, and maybe do land excursions. but if you don't enjoy staying put, then just travel by train or airplane!

Eons ago, when my late husband was in the Air Force, we went on a lovely holiday to Halkidiki, Greece. It was amazing! The resort we stayed at was called Kassandra's Palace, and the one thing I have brought with me over the years since 1982 is the poster I got from the hotel manager for "Halkidiki, the Secret Paradise of Greece" from the hotel lobby. He gave me the poster after he saved John from getting arrested for accidentally sinking a kayak when he got drunk on oozo!

Sorry you were ill. The being bored I don't understand, I would have breakfast, sit on deck and watch people and sea go by, have lunch, go to cabin and sit on balcony watch sea, go to cabin, have a sleep, have shower, get dressed for dinner..... watch the entertainment, then there are days off the ship, sorry don't understand the bored thing

It’s probably difficult traveling with a baby. On our first night, 2am a teenager fell from the inside balcony…8 stories… he died instantly. It was awful…

I hope you are feeling better now. Now you all REALLY deserve a top tier cruise. Emma Cruises is a great channel. But for sure try a better rated cruise, perhaps Alaska as you said or even Norwegian fjords. Bigger ships have more to do and I’ve heard great things about Disney cruises, too. We were only on one cruise with Royal Caribbean and it was a smaller boat (we just booked it because and it was cheap) but we had fun, mostly as the ports were beaches.

With a van, you can pretty much go where you want & stop where you want. Too crowded? Drive on. Go somewhere quiet and park & walk around. Yes you sleep and occasionally eat in the van, but there’s fresh air & nature right outside your door.

The nice thing about cruising is you can pack just once and go to multiple countries. Pack again to go home. One bad thing is people can be so gross and pass their bugs around, especially in the buffet. Constant hand washing and sanitizing is absolutely essential (on ships or land; but, be especially vigilant on ships). People will blow their nose and then pick up the serving tongs at the buffet; I’ve seen it. The most important thing is pick a good cruise line-least expensive is definitely not the way to go.

Hello from Vancouver island…cruising to Alaska is our thing. Entirely different experience from this Costa cruise. The inside passage is filled with forests, mountains and wildlife, including whales, dolphins, seals, eagles, deer, bears, etc. the Alaska ports are filled with historic sites, and the excursions are breathtaking. I’ve cruised many times to Alaska, and there’s always a new adventure. Hope you give it a try.

And ALASKA! That’s my main destination. But for the Beans, might I suggest Norway and the Norwegian Fjords!

Wrong Cruise Line and that makes such a difference. I did a Greek Island Cruise 10 years ago. It was on Norwegian Cruise Line. Cruised out of Venice, Italy. It was amazing. Cruising with a kid is hard especially when its just you and no additional family who could give you a couple nights off. Please don't give up on cruising! I've been on 12 and would love to cruise with yall. I have even cruised solo. You did visit great places. Glad you all went and can't wait for your next adventure.

The rule for Southern Europe is stay indoors between noon and 6pm, remember the song, "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun". Sleep during the afternoon and go out to the early hours. Many places don't open until 7pm at the earliest. Shops staying open until 9 or 10, the non tourist places.

My wife and I stayed in a cave hotel overlooking the caldera. We would get up at 7am to walk the streets before the crowds arrived. By 10am we would be back for breakfast, before a bit of relaxation/pool/snooze before heading to the flat bit which is nice and much quieter. After spending some time at the beach we’d head back for an early (7pm) dinner, and then once all of the cruise passengers had left it was so much quieter to wander the streets and shops, stopping off for a drink overlooking the cruise ships. Santorini is nice, you just have to avoid the tourists - even though we were tourists ourselves.

Basically you didn’t do your research 😀. We love cruising however we are also “explorer” type people ,as you are, so couldn’t do a cruise with lots of sea days and we pick a cruise for the ports rather than the cruise. Sometimes i look as it as a “means of transport” to the places I want to go…..like the Carnival cruise we did in the Carribean…but we did our research and knew what it would be like. We do like the smaller ships

I went on a nice Alaskan cruise, and got bored too. I'm like you guys, I'm not into crowds and most of the things I see everyone else loving to be honest I have no interest in. It was our first cruise and I picked a cruise line that didn't have all the bells and whistles because I didn't want tons of kids running around or twenty-somethings partying. The cruise was FINE. It was me. I wanted to go for walks without people everywhere. The ports were tourist traps. The scenery from the ship was spectacular, thank God I got a balcony. I don't think you would like a Disney cruise, watch videos first. It's way too much forced smiling and hype. Keep doing what you do, love your beautiful family!

Offcourse, southern Rhine cruise through border of Germany and France is great, but for foodies the Rhone cruise should be the obvious choice. We are waiting for a video!
