A Great Caribbean Cruise in The Haven on Norwegian Breakaway
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.28 дней назад
For our May 2024 Caribbean cruise on Norwegian Breakaway, we were cruising with my sister and my-brother-in-law. In order to make sure they loved the cruise, we booked rooms in The Haven... the upscale V.I.P. section of the ship that most passengers never have access to. In this new travel video, I explain what's so great about The Haven... and then show you what we did at each of the three por...
How To Cruise For Half The Cost Of Icon Of The Seas

This video is about the insane prices that Royal Caribbean is charging for Icon Of The Seas this summer. Rather than pay the big bucks for a cruise on Icon of the Seas, I offer several good alternatives at a far lower cost. For families travelling with children, I recommend Carnival Celebration or her sister ships, Carnival Jubilee and Mardi Gras. These ships have just as many fun features for ...

    The Haven is nice, but if you REALLY want a luxury "VIP" experience you have to sail Regent.

    • @JimZim
      @JimZim 2 дня назад

      Here's the thing that worries me about Regent, and the other luxury lines. I really don't like to dress up when I'm on vacation. Is it possible to enjoy a nice dinner on Regent in jeans or shorts? My impression of lines like Regent is that dinner is a fancy occasion and that you have to dress up. Correct me if I'm wrong. But in the Haven, you can really wear anything you want to dinner. Some people will be dressed nicely in The Haven restaurant... but it's not required. And out in The Haven Courtyard, you could get away with eating dinner in a bathing suit, if you wanted to.

    I've never been on a cruise or river boat, and didnt gwt in my firat boat until I was 40. I've been watching cruising channels for a couple years now teying to get over this irrational fear of open water I've always had. Recently I thought maybe I could river cruise. And the algorithm Gods brought me to your channel. I'd love to this exact river cruise for my first time. This is such a quality preaentation. The pucture is ao cruap, your commentary is really educational and well thought out about the area. Well done.

    • @JimZim
      @JimZim 3 дня назад

      Just to clarify... This particular cruise along the coast of Maine was not technically a river cruise. It was on a small cruise ship similar to what are used for river cruises, but the coast of Maine is part of the Atlantic Ocean. While this cruise did go in to one river in Maine at one point, I would call this a coastal cruise, not a river cruise. This cruise line, American Cruise Lines, does offer quite a few cruises that are strictly on rivers (for example, the Columbia River, the Mississippi River, several rivers in the Tennessee area) but this cruise in Maine was out in the open waters of the Atlantic a lot.

      I still have them. It's not a permanent layout... I like to do slightly different layouts each time I set them up. I spend a day making a layout, play with them for a while, make a video about them, and then I put them away again. So, what you're seeing in this video is the yard how it normally is... no trains... but all the train stuff is safely sitting inside the garage until the next time I decide to bring it out and set up a new layout. However, the older I get, the less I feel like spending an entire day on my knees setting up train tracks in 90 degree weather!
