What about that dang explorer ship down there in South Africa of all them people sick man.
Eddie
I do worry about the privacy on the balcony having fizz directly below it, but other than that, I think it looks like a pretty solid room.
Brandon
Princess Cruises says this is going to mean shorter wait times and I think less chaos.
Elana
We are on a brand new ship that we've never been on before. This is our first time being on this ship. We are on the Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady.

Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Travels with David and Mark.
Disable auto time change on your phone for cruises, especially transatlantic sailings.
If you're on a sailing over 10 days, ask about specials at restaurants.
For a multi-day ticket to Disney California Adventure, you must reserve the park in advance.
Consider the Freedom Fair for drinks with meals, as it may be sufficient for non-heavy drinkers.

Enjoy the quiet lounges and observation bar for a relaxing sea experience.
Bring earplugs for thin cabin walls.
If you don't want to drink all four martinis, keep your slip to redeem another day.
