I am glad that you are experiencing many of the same things that draw my wife and I to Royal. We currently prefer the smaller ships for a number of reasons such as itineraries (they can dock in locations larger ships would have to tender or skip altogether) and expressly the lack of ice rinks, roller coasters, water slides and the like. Our opinions will no doubt evolve as our grandchild(ren) get to be of cruising age but we currently fall in the "Loyal to Royal" camp. As I recall you are flipping down to FL soon, safe travels!

One of my favorite new additions to Royal is the E-muster process. Long gone are the days of standing in the hot sun with your lifejacket on, waiting for a final count of all passengers at their muster stations. I think Royal has truly mastered this process and changed the whole feel of cruise day 1 by making coming up with the E-muster drill. We cruise exclusively on Royal. Maybe other cruise lines are doing something similar? Personally, I think it's a game changer!

I have never sailed on a Royal Caribbean ship bigger than Voyager class. However, it seems like the Oasis class is so enclosed with everything facing inward limited sea views, even the promenade is enclosed on the Oasis class and Quantum class with lifeboats. So, for me it is not so much about the size of those two classes of ships, it is the lack of connection with the sea. I've read many reviews about it feels more like a land vacation then a cruise vacation.

I think Royal has a reputation (stereotype) for catering to younger families with their amusement-park-like giant ships. I haven’t been on an RCL ship yet but if/when I do it will be on a smaller one. Their huge ships don’t appeal to me: higher cost for amenities I wouldn’t use. Unfortunately, I don’t think they will be building anymore of their smaller ships, so eventually they will be gone.

I want to know your thoughts on coco cay. I went there in 2017 before it was so built up. It was just a private island then with picnic areas and restrooms haha.

Chris.... right. I was there before most of the build-up. I think the last thing I was there for was the addition of a questionable looking zipline to the beachfront. When they started the whole "perfect day" thingie, I thought, "Well, there goes the neighborhood!"

I don’t even get off the ship anymore at Coco Caye as it is a “Expensive day at Coco Caye” not a Perfect one.

I noticed in the news they have just announced a 3 year, 135 country cruise trip by Life at Sea Cruises (interesting name). I thought of you when I saw the article. Is that something you would be interested in? Apparently they are aiming it not just at retirees but also wealthier remote workers.

We do like RC quite a bit. It’s great when we cruise with our daughter. Other lines have also been great, but we’ve cruised with Royal most. Also, love the backdrop of your video. The two royal ships on the pier…perfection.

First of all, I am so happy for you, that you will achieve 100,000 subscribers soon! I started watching you when you got your van, and started watching KZitem during lockdown. Since, I couldn’t travel, I loved watching your adventures. Now, I am a baby Pinnacle (didn’t get my pin in the mail yet, but get the perks), and I love the loyalty program, going on new ships, and the amazing staff. ❤🎉

Lol, got quadruple points offer (double points and solo). I went from gold to pinnacle in 13 months. You can do it fast being solo. When you get to around 350 points, you pay 150% instead of double for solo, which you probably know.

Every Norwegian ship has a Starbucks onboard and I just bought an unlimited Starbucks package ($12/day) for my 19 day transatlantic. I wished I had it on my last two NCL transatlantics so I’ll let you know if it’s great! Pats for itself in two drinks a day and I think I can handle that. 😂

I’ve been contemplating the destination part, Mostly! I think I’ve narrowed it down to Alaska or Norway? I’ve always been fascinated by the Northern Lights! I’m wondering how the Pacific will be in the summer months 🧐 Of course you can’t answer that question lol I’m planning on taking a solo cruise for my 50th Birthday in 2024. Royal Caribbean was one of my favorites that I’ve been contemplating. That was long winded 😂

Unfortunately, my wife and I had a horrible customer service experience on RC. My wife refuses to step foot on another RC ship. The incident happened 25 years ago, I am barely getting her to consider RC again. Other than the one bad experience, the rest of the crew were wonderful.

Just curious if there's any reason you're staying in the same part of the world while exploring living on cruise ships.. I'm guessing it's price points and back to back in season; but do you have plans to explore more of the world via cruise?

I disagree, there is a particular type of cruiser who sail on Royal. They have great Pizza, but limited fun unless you are sailing with a group or family it is just Okay. Nice ships,
