Hey cruisers welcome to our weekly vlog as you can see they're definitely not in
the CruiseTipsTV studios this week for a vlog in fact I am traveling solo on
business so I am in a hotel room it is 8:30 at night and the lighting in this
room is terrible but hey I am NOT missing a weekly vlog we definitely
wanted to make sure that we got something out to you guys and answer
some awesome questions from our subscribers this week and gave you a
little idea of what's going on so I have a handy little printout of all our
questions and we will get right to it I hope that all of you have been enjoying
our Alaska packing series we've been having a lot of fun filming it also
wanted to let everybody know that our next live stream is coming Saturday
September 9th at noon pacific time right here on CruiseTipsTV so again Saturday
September 9th noon that will be our next live stream
we're not sure about the scene yet but we'd love for you to join us and of
course I will remind all of you on social media I promise all right you
guys so as a follow-up to our all about Norwegians list live stream you've got a
ton of comments a ton of commentary ton of opinions and really excited that all
of you watched that live stream with us and shared in your opinions about bliss
and all the different places that we'll be sailing and all the beautiful spaces
on the ship so our first comment today is actually a tip or a bit of
information from one of our subscribers Brad Johnson said I was looking at some
other stuff online around the Bliss and to answer one of your audience's
questions sharing yes the Bliss will have a smoking and non-smoking casino so
I think it was Sharon who had asked that question in the live stream and there
you go Sharon Brad said that it will indeed have a non smoking and smoking
casino so hopefully that will help out now we have a few questions coming in
from our subscribers this week the first one is from Levon Morton Levon says hi
we're planning our first cruise next year in May are some months better than
others to cruise also is it best to book online at myself or through a travel
agent so Livan if you're going to Alaska a little bit difficult to say if May is
going to have good weather but we had really good experience there in May
there's not a lot of kids on the cruises so that can be a good thing or a bad
thing depending type of proves that you're looking for
we personally had really sunny weather in May which is really interesting and
of course we absolutely recommend that you book with a travel agent it's you
just have nothing to lose we think it's a great idea so scroll through some of
our old videos where we talk about the benefits of using a travel agent and
check those out we have lots to say about the topic our next question comes
from Amanda hasty and Amanda says how is Carnival for the vegetarian Cruiser
we're going on Carnival Liberty in September and I can tell you Amanda that
most cruise lines including Carnival do very very well for the vegetarian
Cruiser now if you're a vegan it can get a little bit more complicated because
we're trying to get dairy and all animal products out of things but for the most
part cruising vegetarian is very easy you're going to find that there's
generally a few special entrees per evening in the main dining room that are
suitable for vegetarians and there will be tons of options for you in the buffet
restaurants but my recommendation is that as soon as you board or even before
you board to let the headwaiter know that you're a vegetarians that can help
you they're probably going to add some dishes to the menu for you on a nightly
basis and give you more choice so you'll have no problems at all and let me know
how that goes our next question today is from Nana M
Nana said this is a great video it's helping me to prepare for upcoming
cruise I did have a question regarding carry-ons does your family bring one
carry-on per person or you just do one for the whole family
so Nana M what we do is we generally take one rolling carry-on for the whole
family and then every other member of our family carries a relatively small
and not super-heavy backpack I generally ditch my purse I don't like to travel
with the purse and I make a mini shoulder bag or just put my wallet and
car keys into my backpack and that usually works just fine for us so
hopefully that gives you some clarity on how we handle our carry-on situation
next one today guys is from the Recon one a CT TV sup guys got a question my
wife and I are cruising in December Jamaica Greg came in Cozumel you always
mention not chica comb it's listed as a beach club and watersports center in
Cosmo I'm assuming it's not part of carnivals group excursions Carnival has
chalkin of beach day I see it looks like both places are this
area not sure if they're the same so to my actual question what is the cost if
not she could come for two adults is it all-inclusive if not what is included
how does one look it thanks for your response so basically what you want to
do the Recon 1a is you want to book it by going to Cozumel not chica comb calm
it is 55 dollars per person for adults kids are cheaper it is all-inclusive all
the food all the drinks and all of the activities except like you know you want
to go on a banana boat ride or rent snorkeling equipment or something like
that but that fifty five dollars is well worth it it's a very tranquil beautiful
beach it's a calm kind of quiet experience they also have a pool in the
hot tub now I did a little research on chop knob and I don't know if I'm saying
that right please forgive me guys I've never been there but it looks like
that's a really interesting place to and chunk a knob is $21 per adult but it
looks like the only things that are included in your admission there are
hammocks the beach snorkeling beach volleyball snorkeling tours the lagoon
and things like that but for extra cost you can rent snorkel equipment do scuba
scuba C tracks animal interactions like dolphins and sea lions or go to the bars
and restaurants now the bars and restaurants are probably where you'd
spend the most money I guess you have to weigh out the pros and cons I've heard
good things about chalk enough but I've never been so let me know what you
decide to do and how it goes and send me some pictures on Facebook when you get
back now we have to help some of our subscribers out this week you guys we
need to help Brad Audrey and Pam's first up we're going to help Brad Brad says I
have a question for your viewers I'll be sailing in January for the first time
out of New York City any tips or suggestions Norwegian Breakaway 14 days
Southern Caribbean oh that sounds a good Brad should I
allow myself extra time then I would say in Miami
Tampa Tampa or Port Canaveral thank you so let him know guys again he's doing 14
days Southern Caribbean so once some tips or suggestions and that is a cruise
out of New York City and should he spend extra time in Tampa Miami or Port
Canaveral okay now let's help pam pam want some
advice on excursions in Antigua st. Lucia Barbados and st. kick they like to
snorkel and lay on the beach and they want to know if any of these
ports are like grand turf where you literally just walk off the top and
there's a fantastic beach right there if not any suggestions they do also like to
paddleboard and kayak so again those ports that Pam needs help with guys
Antigua st. Lucia Barbados and st. Kitts I have been to none of them so let's
help her out next we have another favor you have a lot of favors this week from
people that I don't have answers to s were throwing it out there to the
community Audrey Schoolcraft the paid cruisers I
have a question as anyone taken a discovery at sea on Princess Cruise Line
that did the stargazing at night hubby and I are interested but can't find any
reviews on it if it's good they actually turn off lights so you can see the stars
and galaxies galaxies or is it just a smokescreen to get people on board and
the discovery is just cheap theatrics I don't know miss Audrey but we will find
out and figure it out for you so everybody thank you so much for your
patience in my low-tech environment without my husband here I don't really
have all the proper lighting and tools and hey we're making it work so we
