Check out Part I of our Transatlantic Cruise for a tour of the stateroom and cost of the cruise https://youtu.be/VfOZRxwX3Ow
Thank you for posting these videos. Bob and I are contemplating taking a big ship cruise and you have helped answer some of the questions we have. β€
I am trying to picture you both in formal. I bet both would look nice all dressed up.
Looks absolutely stunning. Never cruised myself but looks like a good time. Enjoy and be safe. Jonathan π¬π§
Great video! I see you guys repping Storyteller even on the cruise! Can't wait to see your RV adventures over there in Italy!
Awesome video guys
Great videos! We were on the same cruise.
Hey I was on Sky in January..that duck might come from the cruise I was on! I recognized a lot of the crew on Sky! I miss that ship. Great stuff! I love sea days…the more the better. Glad you guys are having such a good time.
Enjoy your videos
Great video! We were on the cruise with you. It was our 4th transatlantic crossing. We have enjoyed them all. We have another one booked in October leaving out of Barcelona ending in Port Canaveral. Enjoy your time in Europe.
We cruise with Princess, and love the low key environment. Love the food and entertainment. I could travel on a cruise line all year round. π
Learned a lot about cruise life. Thanks for sharing.
In so many shots of places you spent time it seemed you were surrounded by empty tables, unclaimed deck chairs, etc. Got a sense that there were not crowds of people on this cruise, which would be just my cup of tea.

This is interesting! It looks like there are not a ton of other passengers on the boat which can be kind of nice.
Hey! We had tea together.
Thanks for sharing your journey, it brought back great memories of cruising. You really immersed yourself in the daily activities and showed how interesting cruising can be. Kudos to you both for sticking with the stairs!
I'm quite frugal and can't help but think "I could get an inside cabin and still enjoy all they did on the balcony but on the normal deck instead". As sparse as it appears the guest are, were there many that chose to have an inside cabin down below and save money? Or was that perhaps not even allowed as the keep everyone in approximately the same area and less housekeeping that way?
I was also on this wonderful cruise (my first one!) and now I can relive it through your videos. I still miss the Sky Princess!

Oh yes! Hiding and finding duckies are a cruise ship thing. Many rehide the duck they find….
Great video…I Love cruising
Your cruise ship doesn't look crowded as some other ships even though it holds over 3000?
The way you filmed your cruise made it look like there weren't many passengers onboard! ππ
When you disembarked the ship, did you feel like you were rocking when you were walking on land?
That was our duck!! Yay! Ben is my son π thanks for the shout out
Love what you guys are doing! Happy Easter, guys!!π€πΊπ³π
Love it. Still on my bucket list. However, I'm doing my first 14-day cruise through Norway's fjords next month. Intense port itinerary but still time to relax, exercise and eat on the ship!
Hey, waving from Funchal! Followed your van to truck journeys over the years, as we built our DIY camper van. Now we've moved to Funchal. Cool that you came through here. Looking forward to more of your journeys!
Looked like you were only people on board….lonely
Tell them to get Starlink internet service from SpaceX…no wonder ship looks empty
We did a transatlantic cruise in April of 2019 and were hooked! Booked for TA on 5he Sky for 2024. Thanks for a really informative video!
We have never been on a cruise. Looks like Fun. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels.
πππ
Good to see a change of pace from the driving. Looks like a great trip and looking forward for your travel through Italy. It is also a great deal.
What an amazing cruise! Very few cruisers, great weather (so far in this episode anyway), and so many things to do! Ok, who didnβt write down the Soduko puzzle you showed and solve it? Canβt wait to see more of your fabulous trip!
Formal night at the buffet is not expected. I like dressing up, but some people don't. No worries! Don't you love the view from the Wake Bar?
I liked the ports because I was actually less busy than I was on board! Silly, isn't it? Lol
Cha cha!
During the formal nights do you have the option to go to a different restaurant or buffet?
Are you doing a video on your time in London and where you are staying?
Thanks for your videos. We are scheduled for a crossing later this year.
I wanna go! Love @ sea days. How was the bourbon selection ?
You inspired us with your video. We booked a trip in October from England to Fort Lauderdale. Keep up the great work.
Repositioning cruises are very appealing. Most are long and with a minimal capacity. You get a lot of open space and plenty of down time to pick and choose what appeals to you. I truly appreciate how independent you guys are as a couple where you each find time to do your own thing but still spend a lot of time together to work out, attend seminars and eat. Not only are you guys informative but truly a role model for how partners can still move forward and learn from each other even though you've been together for a while.
I love Princess, you chose well! Enjoy your vacation!
Good review. I am surprised by how uncrowded it was, just the way I like it.
Seems like there was very few people out and about the ship.
I took my first transatlantic cruise last October in the other direction from Southampton to Miami. And our last 7 days were at sea And I must admit that many people I talked to were ready to reach land, but I was the opposite. I could have sailed at least 7 more days without a port call. Just like you showed, there is so much to do from lectures, dance classes, craft classes, games and fun. I honestly left the ship feeling like I missed out on a lot. Everyone is different but the more sea days the better in my opinion!!
Possible…..bring your formal attire, supplement clothes, on the cruise. After the cruise, ship unnecessary clothes back to home?
Awesome, subscribed!
Hi I was so glad to see this. I was to sail on the inaugural voyage of the Sky Princess in April 2020. Needless to say that never happened due to Covid. I was to sail Ft. Lauderdale to Copenhagen, by myself. I had previously sailed Princess a number of times across the Atlantic. My favorite cruise is to cross the Atlantic. Thanks for sharing.
