what the hell are those prices?

All the cruise ships are lacking anything that would be considered quality food. I personally think that they are no long worth the money. Kind of like Disney. FEED THE MOUSE. Not worth the money. Carnivals Guy's burgers might be worth far more than like Viking speciality restaurants. Just not not worth the extra price. Of course I have yet to try Virgin cruises and the Queen mary 2. They are my last hope for good food.

A strange review. Speaks like a cruise expert but doesn't seem to have the faintest idea of who the usual demographic is. Disney sounds like a much better fit on so many levels.

a visit to the disney parks isn't something for lower income people. it's meant for the rich upper middle class families who think that obsessing over the disney brand is a replacement for having a personality. that's why it's so expensive cause they don't want us poors anywhere near it.

Ok, after that outrageous amount of cost let me give you a laugh. I'm 68 and grew up in Southern California. My family of four usually went twice a year to Disneyland. I can remember when I was about eight walking to our car at the end of the day, and hearing my dad say, "Mary-Jo (my mom), can you believe we spent $40 today???" That included a full day at the park, meals, and charcoal pictures of my brother and me. Walt still owned and RAN the park, and held to the promise of making it a place for the whole family. I'm sure he is spinning in his grave. I've visited all the parks in California and Florida during my lifetime. Disneyland will always hold my heart, but Disney is no longer Walt's dream. Six years ago I stood by the flagpole on Main Street at Disneyland and said goodbye. I have wonderful memories and they will have to do. I write this with tears in my eyes. Thanks Walt, for some of the best times of my life.😪

I have odd suspicion that the majority of ppl claiming that it has great food are European based.

When my younger cousin was a tot. He dropped his baby blanket onto the savannah letting the giraffes 🦒have a sniff too. It was adorable.

I'll just stick to my Holiday World & Splash'n Safari park

Always great to see your new stuff, Jake. Do you have a Bankrupt episode coming up soon? Between all of this and BSF you're a busy man! Stay awesome!

Ticket classes of first class, second class, and steerage, just given newer, more flowery names.

First off, Jake I’m loving the travel vids. Secondly I totally agree that this cruise line has some major disappointing features especially considering that it’s parent company Norwegian has some completely opposite features on their ships i.e. Norwegian offers freestyle dinning so you always have the option to eat at any time of the day. Although the ship design is beautiful, this sector is definitely to cater toward the elderly cruise demographic.

Americans won’t stop complaining about inflation, but somehow find money to contribute more to Disney’s massive wealth. I will never go back to Disneyland I much rather travel or invest my money. I work to hard to keep paying for a fantasy when I can see the world.

If they put Disney pictures in a Hampton by Hilton room...

Don’t get me started on their Florida Resident “Discounts.” My family loves going to the Disney Parks, but we are getting to the point where we are pricing out going to their parks in other countries. They have way better attractions with better prices.

Does it smell like a zoo at all? That would be my first thought.

Franklin Roosevelt, not Theodore Roosevelt.....

Oceania is more about the itineraries. They can visit ports the mega ships cannot.

Yeah I'm just going to save the money and go on Celebrity.

im surprised an NCL brand ship was so meh. Ive had a great time on 3 previous NCL cruises

My spouse and I each bring in well into the six figure mark, and neither of us would ever waste money on an overpriced trip like that. Where are people finding the money to do this these days?

Our MSC cruise on Meriviglia cost 1500 a person and... drinks/wifi included. I could never imagine paying that amount for what you got.

0/10 no Robin Thicke

EATING A CROISSANT WITH A KNIFE AND FORK IS ILLEGAL! YOU GO TO JAIL

5:43 if I were a croose person I'd go with this ship/brand just for the hammock on the balcony, laying down on one while looking at the ocean sounds like heaven.

Stay at Motel 6 if you can't afford it

Who ?

Wish you had covered more detail about your disembarkations and how those tied into the full experience

Recently traveled to South America cruise on Oceania’s Marina and while the cruise experience was good (so much gourmet food!) and the ship itself ok, their customer service left a lot to be desired. Oceania provides complimentary air travel to a from the port, unfortunately they booked us to fly with a very small window between connecting flights (JFK to MIA to LIM). Air travel being what it is, we missed the connecting flight to the port city, (Delta mechanical issue) WE had to buy our own tickets to Lima where the ship was docked otherwise we were never making it there on time. Of course, Oceania washed their hands and would not reimburse us for the air fare which we felt they absolutely should have.

Or maybe your standards are just too high??

I worked for Disney marketing. They absolutely know people will pay whatever they ask. Our job wasn’t to sell Disney because they KNEW people would go. The goal was for us to make them spend more time there. Very unique marketing strategy

There is no food anywhere except ….. come on man.

I went there as a teenager and had a blast. I wouldn't go back now due to the insane prices, large crowds, and long waits to get on the rides that are actually open. I also heard many of the rides still aren't open due to not having enough staff. There are thousands of other places in the US and abroad to enjoy for much less than Disney. Alot of people just need to get it out of their system to say they went to Disney regardless of the negative reviews and costs.

Carpet is disgusting and should never be used anywhere that is shared ever again. Idc how warm or soft it makes a place feel. They're always damp, sticky, and smells terrible.

GREAT VID ❤Perfect example of the phrase: if it aint broke dont fix it 🤡capitalism instead of making the great disney experience we all know and love🥱 notice how they rarely spend money on adding newness to the parks or hotels making ugly no thought designs that cost triple some nicer hotels near by 😓literally capital above all else DOES 😣NOT 😖WORK 😤FOR COMPANIES LIKE THIS (I mean look at boeing rn😲) QUUUUAAALLLIIIITTTYYY NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO American companies ASAP the 🤢McDonaldsafficaton🤮 of everything needs to stop I refuse to enjoy an experience that is wayyy overpriced VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS PEOPLE 🙄

To say “at par with Celebrity” is accurate- Oceania is in the same cruise class. It is not in line with Seabourn, Silversea, etc. Oceania is a great value really. It would have been helpful to hear what you paid because I’m always seeing great deals on the line.

I say the same thing about Oceania that I said about Holland America 20 years ago: their target demographic is going to do them in. BUT their parent company doesn't want them infringing on their customer base, so they're stuck in a kind of cruise market fugue state. Vista and her sister (bars!) will be the last ships purpose built for Oceania because of lack of demand. Hopefully, we'll someday get to a point where people leasing/buying old ships and trying to call themselves 'the best value at sea' while just being burning dumpster trash (yeah, I'm talking about you Margaritaville) or charging premium pricing for Red Robin quality food ends. As Jake alluded to, I can't sell Oceania to even my elderly clients because there are far better options available. Heck, booking them in The Haven on Oceania's parent line would provide a far better experience (and most of my elder clients prefer smaller, if not outright river, vessels).

I dunno how you're going to get the younger generation to do cruise lines like these, when the price tags are so insane. No wonder cruises are mainly populated by 50+ year olds.

stop supporting the racist company

the interior designers were so lazy and uninspired to be able to create a room theme inspired by edna that they just had to write her name in big letters above the bed and a couple pictures of her. so tacky.

For someone with such a lot of privilege, you complain a lot!

If you think thats bad, imagine what its like for us travelling from the UK and having to add transatlantic flights on top of that. I was fortunate enough to be able to take my kids to Florida twice in the early 2000s, the parks were quiet, the food was cheap, we walked on to every ride without all that genie nonsense. It was wonderful. The experience now looks horrific. We dont even consider a Disney trip anymore and neither does any of my other family members who used to go every two or three years. We prefer to spend our money on a cruise, or city breaks or even all inclusive resorts for a lot less money and without feeling like you are being ripped off evry day. Eurodisney is no better. Last time we went a very small almost aircraft sized beer or wine at dinner was 14 euros and someone definitely needs to tell the French staff that its meant to be the happiest place on earth, cos the service is terrible. In fact by day four i couldnt wait to leave. I feel sorry for those that will never get to experience a Disney park as Walt intended.

Margaritaville is better.

Hang on… your mother was gifted a trip to anywhere in Europe and she chose a cruise? She clearly did not understand the assignment.

My family and I have made many visits to WDW over the years and it remains our favorite vacation destination. However, the extreme price increases have drastically changed our visits. Previously we visited yearly for 6-7 days with Park Hopper Plus tickets. We visited the theme parks, water parks and scheduled character meals. Now, we get 2 day Park Hopper Passes and stay from rope drop to close. I order a grocery delivery to our room and if we eat in a restaurant, it's a quick service meal. Every time we visit, the parks are full, so Disney has no reason to reduce the cost.

One of your last points was actually a really good/interesting one... if their clientele is as old as you say, how do they survive when their older clients inevitably start to die off? It certainly doesn't sound like you were in their target demographic.

Stayed at the new Villas at Disneyland Hotel and the Riviera is giving me the exact same vibes. I thought it a scam.

Feels like total misery. I hope I will never go back.

Well people shit themselves in line for rides so do you really want to go?? NO

The Disney glazing is incomprehensible

If you want to stay at a real Mediterranean Grand Hotel, come visit the Hotel Hershey. It’s one of the last grand hotels built in America and has gorgeous Mediterranean architecture. It’s way more affordable that that.
