We Are back from Our 274 Day Ultimate World cruise and here to answer your questions. 

Nancy: My knees were bone-on-bone during all of my 40's, but I finally had both of them replaced and it's been great ever since! It took about 6-12 months for the knees to feel like they were part of me, but the pain was gone immediately! (I started walking just 3 hours after getting out of recovery.) I traveled around the world solo for 6 months in 2022 and walked many miles every day and never had any pain. It's a miracle.

Random, but I love this concept as a homeschooling family. You mentioned in some videos that these kinds of families were on the ship. If you were close with any of them, a video interviewing them would be amazing! We could all submit questions. I am in a worldschooling group and they would be so excited to watch a video like that! Thank you for your posting. I have really loved watching your journey.

Love love love your videos. I was with you through out and still will be. I’m 90 years old and don’t expect to do much traveling anymore. You filled my joy of traveling!! I’m grateful, thank you 🛳️🛳️🛳️💛💛💛🌼🌼🌼

Welcome home! It's been a pleasure watching your vlogs. I look forward to continuing to see your adventures.

Started watching early winter after breaking my leg skiing and had to cancel some of our travels. Lots of hours spent on the couch immobile watching your videos. We have enjoyed “traveling” with you two and we gained some good advice for this past summer when we were finally able to travel again. We are not quite empty nesters yet, we just pull our teens along with us..they enjoyed your videos as well. Thank you for keeping me entertained all winter!

Thank you Mike and Nancy for sharing your experiences. We just returned home and catching up with your insights. Sincerely, Sam and Kelle

Welcome home! Bet you were so excited to see the grandkids! I am so glad you loved M’Lady Serenade of the Seas - my absolute favourite ship! Will future World cruises be on Serenade as well? She seems to be the perfect size for such adventures. Looking forward to the rest of your videos from this cruise, and those of future cruises! Also looking forward to some possible compilations with respect to this cruise!!

First time commenting. First off; welcome home!! I love your channel. We are empty nesters with a big family as well. We are not yet retired but will start semi-retirement in about 2 years. Your videos, your loving relationship, the balancing act of keeping in touch with family at home while living this exciting adventure with all the new amazing friendships you’ve made-we love hearing about it all. really appreciate all the honest answers and the pro tips!! Thanks so much. Sending hugs 🤗

I’m sorry I missed this live . Welcome back to Michigan . We missed you but are so thankful for all the work you put into the videos. Thanks for taking us along . Looking forward to future videos.

Welcome home! Having spent 105 nights on board The Serenade when you were on board (from Seattle to Cape Town.). I understand the super high weeds when you get home. Still haven’t caught up. It was a pleasure meeting you. God Bless. Diana

Thank you for sharing all your world cruise. Loved every one of them. I felt like you all took me along with you. Can't wait to see your new adventures. Maybe that RV Nancy!! LOL

Welcome home! Watching your videos has been such a highlight of my week. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience!!!!!

Welcome home ! I have been following you and then coincidentally I was on the Wonder of the Seas and at Coco Cay on the 9th of September when your cruise ship the Serenade was on the same Island.

You have inspired us to do longer trips

Welcome Home!! Thank you for sharing your experience! I have enjoyed watching the videos of the World Cruise and your journey in each city. I am looking forward to seeing the remaining World Cruise videos and your future adventures.

Thank you for sharing even after your cruise is over we looking forward to your following stories, sorry I missed your live chat here in Australia we are working today but catching up now thanks. Do come back to Aussie. You have inspired us to think about World Cruise so glad you have made great friends .

Yeah was really good! I can imagine now you have followers all over the globe it’s hard to catch everyone! Enjoy the down time until your next adventure

Loved your blogs. The information was factual and fun to hear. Weaving stories into the blogs were wonderful.

I thoroughly enjoyed all your videos and am actually sorry it's over but know you must be so happy to be home with your family---I do hope you will continue to travel and share your experiences with us all --thank you so very much for sharing

So excited to see your trip in January! We were stationed in Jordan when I was little. I’d love to see it again but for now I will live vicariously through others!! Missed going to Egypt when we were there because of an outbreak of meningitis or something. One day I’ll get there!

Welcome home! I so enjoyed following you on your world cruise.

I’m glad you guys will continue vlogging. You guys are an inspiration to me in my mid forties. You remind us there is so much more life ahead and time to start preparing for that next phase myself! Welcome home!

Welcome home thanks for these videos we went from Sydney to Hawaii, we were always 2 weeks behind so thanks to you we snorkeled with the sharks and stingrays in Morea 🎉 while watching your trip on our Princess ship

Happy that you are home with your family, looking forward to seeing the remaining videos. I can never say thank you enough times for taking us with you virtually, what an amazing adventure! You approached every situation with such a positive attitude, your honesty, patience and humour was unbelievable. Hopefully we meet on a cruise one day. ❤️Ginette

Hello Mike and Nancy, I'm so glad you're back safe and sound and looking forward to all the adventures and the next trips 😀 😊 ❤

Hey! Welcome back, kids! Ahh, bummer, I missed the live stream! But if you do another one, here’s my question… So, the World Cruise was all over RU-vid, with so many influencers covering it, including a few on board with you! But then… cue dramatic music there was that guy who got PAID to stir up drama for content. I mean, what was that part of the trip like? Were you aware the outside world was watching you? I even saw a video where some influencers were treated to special 5* meals. This is totally just a fun question-because let’s face it, you’re superstar influencers yourselves 😎❤

Welcome home guys, looking forward to continuing watching your ultimate cruise adventure 😊

Welcome home, have really enjoyed following along on your world cruise and thanks so much for sharing your trip with us all from Bernie in Ireland 😊

You two are truly so adorable and I am having such fun watching your journey. You will love Panama Canal, we did that cruise this past April.

Thanks for all the great content!

thoroughly enjoyed your adventures. Save me a fortune it was "I was there"

I am doing South America in March!

Welcome home. Sorry I missed this live but the time difference between Australia and the US is difficult. I loved watching your voyage and look forward to more of your insights regarding world cruises and seeing your new adventures to come ❤

Yes

We joined the ship in Copenhagen. Followed you for the first 8 months prior. Wonderful meeting you both. Couple from TN. Guy with the Santa beard. We enjoyed Prins Christian Sund the most.

You guys did a great job! Thank you! I honestly don’t know how you did it! 9 months crazy.. we did 45 days… I thought that was crazy.

Welcome home! I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a series of videos as much as I’ve enjoyed yours. Now what am I going to watch?? 😂😂 Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, its definitely exposed me to places that I didn’t know I needed to go. 😊 My bucket list has grown. PS - let me know how long it takes you to get back in the swing of having to make your own bed, cook your own food, wash your on dishes. 😁 YOU WILL LOVE the Panama Canal cruise, we just did that in March 2024 (From Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles.) Planning to do Antarctica next.

Welcome back. Enjoyed the videos. Enjoy those grand babies
