it falls but it's fantastic four months man want to ride you can check me on
Twitter by the way I've got a Twitter feed and I've got a Facebook page
although it's been spotty but it's working again and Pinterest I'm on
Pinterest I'm learning a lot here about how this all works it's it's
overwhelming today's daily to get to the subject at hand I want to talk to you
today about something I noticed this morning there's a website out there
called cruise critic there you can find it by just going cruise critic comm one
word they have a youtube page as well a YouTube channel and these folks they
have articles all the time about cruise ships and what's going on in the cruise
industry that type of thing and they released a list this morning
they released editors picks for best cruise lines and they they designate
ocean cruising lines riverboat cruise lines and luxury cruises or cruise lines
and I'm going to talk to they quickly about ocean cruise lines some of the
awards there and I want to talk to you folks today about some more deals so
I've just come up with that I found this morning that you should know about and
here we go so number one Cruise Lines they I'm going to put my glasses because
my laptop was right down here you can't see it MSC Cruises just released a new
ship called the seaside and it's on its way to Miami it'll it'll be there on the
21st there's a big naming ceremony and grand
opening you know deal with the balloons and everything else and the ship will
start flying its trade for a while out of Miami and the the folks said a cruise
critic have named the best new ship that's great but no paying passengers
been on it yet really and so we don't know you know from my vantage point I
don't know how good this ship is it looks great on the photos
it really does some of the videos I've seen beautiful but until people are on
it and experience it you don't know but hey more power to them because they were
up against other ships I'm sure and they got the award for that here's one that I
can relate to however here's the cruise award that went to Hall in America and
the the award was for the best ship refurbishment haul in America the
Western dam got refurbished and they did a whole bunch of upgrades and the cruise
critic people they really liked the way this ship came out and those of you who
are new to cruising and even you veterans you might not really know all
this but we're you care I don't know but cruise lines like to operate a ship for
about five years and then it's time to bring it into the dock for about a month
sometimes two months and to refurbish the ship to just spruce it up now
I'm not talking about a quick coat of paint on the hull although that might
well be part of it sometimes they replace engines sometimes they replace
entire generator systems you know something serious something really
critical to the ship but more often than not it's for the passenger areas and so
carpeting gets replaced inside cabins or down the hallway
mattresses get completely taken out old mattresses out new mattresses in new
bedding new towels television sets get upgraded you know we went from the tube
to the flatscreen and now you get to the better flat screen I mean I saw the
first member over the first flatscreen I saw in a cruise ship it was like 12
inches to 14 inches large was like this it's like a beauty monitor and and now
you go into a or medium-sized cabinet a balcony cabin
and you've got 24 30 inch screen and so they're doing these upgrades all the
time they're upgrading Wi-Fi of course because we expect it the day will come
where we'll be able to use Wi-Fi anywhere on the ship
conveniently rather than having to go all the way to the computer room and use
the desktops they have their number of ships have already upgraded to Wi-Fi
everywhere it's it's coming and then of course you know you throw out the old
dishes put in new dishes because the dishes get chipped and scratched and
tired looking you know a refurbishment is a refurbishment sometimes all the
desks and chairs and the dining rooms get redone completely replaced it has to
be looking spic and span so these cruise ship lines will spend anywhere from as
little as ten million dollars to fifty million in a month on a ship to
refurbish it because it is a four hundred million dollar investment to
build a new 150 million every five years that's actually not that much money it's
why when you think about it so way to go hall in America other awards Celebrity
Cruises best Cabot's they seem to have great layouts and and pleasing to the
eye and convenient for the customer way to go Celebrity Hall in America
another award best dining award this is the main dining room not the specialty
restaurant necessarily the dining room you and I get to use best dining on the
Seas I'll talk to you more about that a minute
Disney Cruise Line best entertainment of course you've got all those movies
Mickey Mouse Donald Duck goofy if you've got kids or grandkids and you're gonna
be on the Disney Cruise Line you know the entertainment is gonna be fantastic
for the little guys best for families as well another award
no surprise there for Disney Princess Cruises got an award for best
itineraries Norwegian cruise lines got an award for best nightlife not not that
I know I've been on a few Norwegian cruise lines and I go to the comedy club
I go to the early show starts at 7:00 or 7:30 maybe I'll watch an eight or nine
o'clock show and by 10 o'clock baby I'm done because being at sea at sea level I
by 10 o'clock I'm done I'm finished at 10:30 man I I am I'm hanging by a thread
I can't imagine being a week past that but then I'm all because you folks know
that I'm not young so you know what can I say
Norwegian Cruise Line way to go I'll take their word for it on the on the you
know dancing late into the night more part to celebrity cruises says they say
that summary cruises cruise critic says best for romance hey way to go fantastic
Carnival Cruise Line best service I'm assuming it's for the money best service
for the money you're paying that's great because I know and you know that if you
go on a cruise line where you are paying a thousand bucks a night for your cabin
you're gonna get the best service there obviously but for Carnival
you know you get some good deals on Celebrity Cruises also best short
excursions and Norwegian Cruise Line they got an award for the best solo
travelers they are building an entire classic cabins on a number of these
Norwegian ships especially the new ones designed specifically for singles there
are a lot of singles you know my age and older who are widowed or widower and
then you know there are the youngsters the young the younger crowd that are
travelling on their own and they don't need a double unit and they don't want
to pay for a double unit because you got to pay double so having a single unit at
an affordable price way to go it's come around Royal Caribbean International got
an award for best Suites I know a few folks have seen some of these I'll try
to post some some of these photos with these two story cabins Wow fantastic the
entire you know floor-to-ceiling windows that go from the lower floor to the top
of a second floor and you're on the bed is on the loft and you can sit on your
on your bed and look out over the sea wow gotta be pricey though but they got
the award for that Carnival Cruise Line best value for the money well there you
go no surprise there they're famous for that and then Quebec City got an award
as the best home port I can see it being a very popular home port you know
you got the the Laurier hotel there the gorgeous views the the history st.
Lawrence Seaway it's beautiful but it is really a summertime thing not you know
not the bitter winters great to a cruise say in the fall up in the Northeast man
