β€œan individual unfortunately went through a tragic situation and has passed away and we like to get our prayers out for the deceased and their family”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThis is probably the worst the loudest cabin we have ever been at.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThe Wi-Fi on Princess Line cruise lines, in my opinion, based on tests that I do, I do speed tests on every cruise ship that we cruise on, and by far, Princess has the worst Wi-Fi.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThe minute we checked in, we got upstairs to our room. We got an email and the email says, "Oh, sorry. There's no cruise next week."”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThe water pressure on this ship is horrible. Check out the three different ships I have here.”
