Bell click on that you'll be notified

future you know postings on your channel
that tells me that someone clicked the
Bell notification icon great another
another alerts will be sent every time I
announce a new live stream or a or a
video that I've just created on the spot
or you know something something's
happening out at sea or with a cruise
ship that demands immediate attention
I'll just go on the air right away I'll
just start talking on live YouTube
without any fanfare whatsoever I'll just
start going and you'll get a
notification icon whoa
Bruce is on the air life right now he's
on the air I should check him out and
then you can come on over to see what
I'm talking about
see what what's going on what's that so
that can happen you know not every day
but you never know sometimes I just want
to talk about my talk about my big-ass
RV you know I got this big-ass RV I've
talked about before I've even posted a
picture of me beside my big-ass RV and
I've had a lot of reaction from you
folks about my big-ass RV and you know
it might just come a time where I kind
of feel like talking about a little bit
more and yeah I'll be more than happy to
post some more photos of the you know
the beautiful big s RV you know here's
one right here
you know I was somewhat taken photo of
me and I said to them go across the
street take a picture of me with my
biggest RV but make sure you don't get
run over so I'm like you know like
anyone else's responsible citizen you
know look both ways before the
photographer crosses the street you know
and so you know and then of course you
know when you take a photo of your pride
and joy
big SRV you can't just stand there
looking like a like an out-of-shape guy
you know so you got to tuck it in right
you got to pull in the waistline so you
know Here I am you know just this is
that this is a big inhale here
you know just suck it in there don't let
the don't let the viewing public know
how big that gut really is you know cuz
I'm kind of one biscuit short of
speaking of biscuits you know just
saying yeah so that you know every once
in a while you know we give it your
thumbs ups you know right by our big ass
in RVs so you know if you might hit that
fella notification icon you're gonna be
right on there right on the cutting edge
of the news you're not gonna miss
anything and that's a good thing to do
that you know you're gonna be on top of
the world events there's enough nonsense
going out and bad news going on out
there sometimes you need good news and
if I'm gonna talk about big SRV should
you should be you know and I wouldn't
want you to miss out so yeah if you hit
that Bell notification icon that would
be a great idea if you're already a
subscriber you can do that now you know
and just just just mail that and you'll
be up still be updated all the time I
guess the only other thing that that's
new this past week you know my new of my
new merchant I started to post on the on
the channel and some of you folks have
started ordering some of my new items so
which is fantastic I got more in the
works more kind of under construction
and and hopefully will keep adding more
you know more logos and more items all
the time and kind of go from there and
in what else was I going to mention
today yeah nothing new in the youtube
world as far as that anything goes with
this channel of those of you who are
regulars you know those of you who
follow me occasionally kind of come in
every once in a while to say hi just so
you know I am not monetized I am curious
though I'm kind of hoping you know maybe
a few folks who have channels pop in and
say hi to me I would love that I'd love
to ask them how they are doing
on their side of the monetization
situation have they had any news updates
whatever love to hear that so if any
youtubers are out there coming by to say
hello please pop in and say hi I I did
get a couple of greetings yesterday
folks you folks who saw my show
yesterday either live or or after the
after the the show you'll know that I
yesterday I talked about other YouTube
channels I was asking you guys tell me
some of your favorite YouTube channels
which ones you like to watch and and why
and all that and we had a great response
just just the great response hold when
she came in and and and even after hours
I had a few more comments come through
anyway I got I got shoutouts from a
couple of youtubers who heard about it
they saw you mentioned me I think
they've gone and watched my show I'd say
what did he say what did he say and they
sent me a couple of sent me a message
saying thanks so much for for giving us
a shout out on your channel we watch you
as well and all the best to you and you
know I'd love to do some collaboration
videos with some of these guys I think
will be a lot of fun
I think there's strength in numbers I
think if if five or ten youtubers can
regularly interact with each other that
are covering you know kind of the same
thing in a way I mean I have my angle
for the cruise lines and others haven't
have their angle for the cruise lines
you know we all will have our you know
way of presenting the info whatever we
want to talk about with cruising but I
think if we occasionally kind of cross
the streams and collaborate a little bit
you'll bring a little bit of a viewpoint
in from one angle and another angle into
the kind of a middle and sometimes the
two presenters learn something they
didn't know the viewers learn definitely
something they may never have known or
ever thought to have known and the two
channels the four channels a six channel
whatever number of channels kind of
collaborate together over time they they
just grow they just go faster because if
you take you take one channel with with
2,000 views a day another one with you
know 1500 three thousand five thousand
one you know add them all up and you
start letting everyone in those channels
know that there are people out there who
love to talk about cruises and cruise
shipping and everything else you're
gonna get a lot of folks who are going
to start becoming subscribers at
multiple channels in this realm and as
though the big boat just Rises we just
all rise together we all just get more
exposure between each other's channels
and further reach and more subscribers
and more viewers and we become larger
channels and that's that's just a good
thing and the growth rate hopefully gets
even faster some would just sent me five
bucks on a super jet who did that Jim
Thomas again Jim thank you again so much
for your help your support third is
right there that's another that's an
easy hotdog and a chicken bake I think
we're going Sunday to Coeur d'Alene
Idaho for those of you folks who don't
know I live in Creston British Columbia
most all my regulars know this three
miles north of the US border and my
closest Costco is two hours and 15
minutes away by car in cruda length the
closest Canadian Costco by car it's kind
of a tie I think it's a calgary alberta
which is five and a half hours and and
or Kelowna which is the interior of
British Columbia and that might be six
might be even though the longer and with
the flooding excuse me with this spring
flooding that British Columbia is
suffering through I think it'll be quite
a bit longer in the interior thankfully
from here down to Coeur d'Alene doesn't
seem to be a big problem with regard to
flooding so far this year and cross
their fingers and we're good to go so
there you have it if you've never
watched before and you're on live with
me right now just say hi
type in and say Tom tell me where you're
watching me from where are you what
state what town what's your high
temperature gonna be today I never any
questions about the channel or about
cruising comments about the Jeff fire
away
I love interacting everyone your loves
to interacting with everybody you'll
find that if you come here often you'll
note that it's kind of a kind like a
family atmosphere we all we get to know
each other a little bit some of us have
certain traits that we know I come to
the fore it's all in good fun we have a
good time here and I welcome each and
every one of you to my channel let's see
who's here I want to say hi to everybody
and then I'll talk to you about my topic
of the day and the topic was
how much money do you spend when you go
on shore on a cruise tell me about the
most money he ever spent
tell me about the dumbest sure excursion
you ever took you didn't it didn't he
didn't intend it to be stupid or
expensive but it turned out to be
expensive and not worth your time it was
a disaster on every level or tell me the
opposite tell me a short excursion that
you were taking and you we didn't have
very high hopes for it yet but you were
like blown away Minh overachieved it
over-delivered tell me about a short
excursion that that either you did with
maybe other passengers or friends where
you guys made your own short excursion
for the day and it turned out to be
fantastic or not and how much did it run
yet because I've got some statistics
here a little later in the show that I
wanted to share with you guys and I want
to compare notes with some of the
dollars we're talking about with some of
the dollars of the experts are talking
about hona comparing let's see if
there's any reality here because I know
what you folks are telling me our route
is real what I'm seeing over here I'm
not sure so sure it's real so we'll get

Cathy Butler hi Jay sonic cam Wilson
Lisa did the elation have the Mongolian
walk he's wondering cathy butler west
praying for texas scott actually saw
another channel where the google doesn't
want to watch where the Google doesn't
want to watch and he was being monetized
at three cents per 1,000 views and what
what does that me Scott bad you saw
another channel where the Google doesn't
want watch I want to said mean and he
was being monetized at three cents per
thousand views so I'm I'm I'm there's a
code there I'm not getting what is it
you mean Scott if you can somehow
clarify that JSON ik Bruce there's this
hotel in Ogunquit Maine that we my dad
and I that has yummy donuts for
breakfast for breakfast don't let those
are dangerous aren't they doughnuts for
breakfast oh my gosh mind you you know
here in Canada we've got Tim Hortons
doughnuts the big chain of course Jay
sonic knows all about Tim Hortons for
you Americans
some of you Americans do know about the
Tim Hortons doughnut chain a lot of you
don't there are more Tim Hortons in
Canada than there are KFC's and
McDonald's
that's how prolific make Tim Hortons
restaurants are we generally use them as
drive throughs because they're they're
like a favorite drive-through of a lot
of Canadians on the way to work in the
morning grab a couple of cups of coffee
but it used to be a doughnut house Tim
Hortons was originally just a doughnut
house and back in the 60s and 70s 60s it
started Tim Tim Horton the hockey player
for the one time trying to make beliefs
and Buffalo Sabres try he died
tragically in 74 just towards the end of
his hockey career he's probably with 38
or 36 years old something like that
anyway
it became a large franchise the Tim
Hortons family sold most of the the
shares that they had in the company to a
larger entity that then franchised a big
time and it grew out from Ontario near
the Toronto area to over the country
over 20 years it grew out all across
Canada
so Tim Hortons today has now started to
move into the United States and other
countries bit by bit by bit because we
Canadians just love it to death but
anyway they started with doughnuts
that's what Tim Hortons is known for
then they start producing some
better-than-average coffee but that's a
big debate Canada that half I don't have
to bees but there's a certain segment of
Canaan
go Tim Hortons coffees crap and other
folks say Tim Hortons coffees delicious
well I don't think there is one
universal brand that all of us agree on
worldwide that's that where we say oh
yeah well that that's great coffee there
just isn't one and then again of course
there's the argument between Coke and
Pepsi who's got the best Cola and then
there's RC Cola and all the other call
it so I mean you know same thing you
never get one leader in the pack but
success is success and Timmy's with
their donuts and their coffee are
incredibly successful and so yeah a lot
of Canadians will go to work in the
morning and once in a while they cheat
they'll say I'll have a large
double-double that's a large coffee
double cream double sugar
cuz the larges are big you need more
cream than just one shot of cream you
need two or a triple I'll get a double
with a shot of Splenda
I don't use the sugar I'll just go
splendid just fine with me but sometimes
he just break down as he can you uh no
sir mmm you know those honey curler
donuts over there or how about one of
those honeydew Donuts or how about the
Boston cream donut that's the you know
those donuts it's covered in chocolate
with the the custard sauce inside that's
so good it's an energy boost you know if
you need a boost get a Boston cream and
a double-double you're all wound up for
an hour just like a kid hey that's just
me going up on Timmy's because hedge a
sonic is talking about donuts for
breakfast oh my goodness Jason

the question
anybody been on carnival magic for the

have a guy for Ares it should be pretty
good
somebody want to pipe in on that we
great Scott actually normal to pinkish
to yellow on my and haha oh man so it's
Henry Peter yes I like the pre-order
plan love having mail waiting in the
cabin when I get there with my
pre-booked obviously pre-booked
excuse me pre-booked cruise let's see
most I've spent on an excursion was at
Cozumel Mexico this issue was a package
to a private beach Congo Bongo and a cab
to all events it was 250 US dollars or
three of us some 183 dollars each
transportation and all that Everage I
suppose I mean not too high not not like
cheap but not too
with Morrison Cathy butter thanks Mary T
we have a Tim Horton's in Staten Island
New York Mary how you doing welcome back
to the show I think you've been here
before you've got a you've got a Timmy
in Staten Island yeah the Timmy's are
starting to head south a little bit do
you ever go to your Timmy's have you
ever been to it be curious is it any
good if you have or do you know somebody
who's been at least some work we should
all go on a cruise together and have a
ball that has been suggested before and
I am scheming something like that down
the road just kind of yeah there's just
as soon as I know you'll know yeah I
think it's a great idea Thomas Henry I
would have loved a done I'd love to have
done a helicopter excursion I think in
st. Thomas
last November but not enough interest
the trip did not happen and was quite
pricey yeah that would be a pricey
excursion you got to get you know you
got to get a helicopter that can hold
maybe six or eight or ten passengers and
then divvy up the deal but it still
might be rather pricey but you know an
interesting experience I'm sure it would
be quite an interesting to have that
Scott Bachelor YouTube doesn't want
viewers on this channel so they set his
monetization so low as to dissuade his
productions nothing that is nasty or
anything like that interesting okay okay
so that's an interesting comet and Lisa
more Grand Turk stingray exclusion or
excursion was is great we'll go again
and a lot to do with the port -
interesting right Jay sunny Hedgehog the
most doughnuts I had was six Donuts all
in one sitting one morning laughs oh
yeah you're all sugar out-of-control
don't let me in the room with you and

thank you very much I would appreciate
it thank you all Thomas Henry C keeper
looks like my tablet always get Em's
instead of the space burner it all
becomes one long words Mary T Timmy's is
good this is the Timmy's in Stata now
Timmy's is good but after hearing about
it for years from my Canada France I
thought it was gonna be amazing but it's
good I don't know if we as Canadians
have a lower expectation of greatness I
expected I think of the thing for
Canadians about Timmy's is that like
politics everything is local and if you
live in Red Deer Alberta which is a city
between Canada Calgary and Edmonton here
in Alberta and it's a January morning at
6:30 in the morning and you got to go to
work whatever it is you do that you know
yet got to be at the office by 7:00 or
whatever it is just knowing that when
you get to the Timmy's they're open and
the lights are on the coffee's hot and
the staffs in there and they are working
away and on the through the
drive-through you can get your cup of
joe or you can grab a you know a bacon
and egg on a bagel or on an English
muffin or whatever you want to think
with your breakfast of course at
lunchtime you got the soup sandwich in
the soup you can also go inside Timmy's
to sit down I'm just gonna McDonald's
let's sit down and eat if you want I
think we Canadians have used
Timmy's when we need them the most and
so it's it's not uncommon where you know
if you've got a relative in the hospital
and you got to drive an hour and a half
to get to the hospital to see them and
they're in rough shape and you stop for
some comfort food and Timmy Hortons is
kind of Canada's comfort station so yeah
you pull into the drive through and you
get your double-double or you know
whatever size a copy you want and you're
sipping in the cars you're rolling down
the highway and in the wintertime the
wind is blowing across the highway and
the snow it's not snowing but the snow
is blowing from the field the farmer's
fields over to that farmer's field
across the highway so that first six
inches of pavement it's like a whiteout
like a blizzard down there and your
tires are rolling through this stuff and
you got this hot cup of coffee and the
Heat's on in the car you might be
wearing gloves to keep the steering
wheel from freezing your hands off and
that cup is warm and that's what
Canadians I think really appreciate
about Timmy Horton suits
it's the Canadiana comfort station but
we also get a warm fuzzy feeling when we
see one in a neighborhood we're not used
to and so if we're in the States and we
come across one in Cleveland or you know
West in Seattle or Staten Island you see
one we kind of always smile because we
call it one of ours the irony of it all
is that in the last five years well ten
years maybe fifteen years been Wow
there was a time where Timmy's was
all-canadian old there was all Canadian
run Canadian management everything and
then Wendy's the burger chain of the
United States bought Tim Hortons they
bought control and they took Wendy's
public through a stock offering and Tim
Hortons was part of that company and
Wendy's started in Canada it was not
uncommon where you would go to a brand
new Timmy's location and it would be a
combo location it would be a Wendy's Tim
Hortons combo one building and you have
the two drive-throughs you got one side
going this way it's Timmy
one side going that way it's Wendy's so
in the morning you go in the work you
stopping at Timmy's for a cup of coffee
and at lunchtime you're driving through
this strike through to get a burger for
us from Wendy's I mean the evening it's
a toss-up whatever you feel like ever
and so Wendy's did that for a while then
Wendy's took Timmy's and separated the
company made it its own public company
and listed it as a separate entity and
about five or six years ago
a Brazilian investment company that
happens to own Burger King I bought
Timmy Hortons and now it's part of the
Burger King franchise which is just
amazing history of Timmy's but the irony
is that the Burger King company was in
the United States it moved its corporate
headquarters to Ontario in Toronto
Canada thick Mississauga just outside
Toronto for that taxes the tax lower
corporate taxes in Canada for mature
company like that and so they shifted
right out of the u.s. into Canada and so
now Burger King is a Canadian company
and Timmy's is owned by the Burger King
which the entire owner of that whole
entity is Brazilian there's no simple
story here and lately a lot of the
franchise owners of Timmy's are unhappy
with their Brazilian masters and they
don't like the management style a lot of
cutbacks in the management area and
apparently relationship between
franchisees and head office has been
lacking and so there's all kinds of
issues there but you know we Canadians
we are we're forgiving bunch where is he
going
we like to be known as polite people and
it's good it's not the greatest coffee
in the world but it's okay and so that's
the story of Timmy's little history
lesson for you about Kent a little
up-to-date news there what can I say Wes
Morrison the best excursion I ever took
was the st. Kitts Scenic Railway my wife
was using a walker and a staff member
went out of their way for her the best
part was that you could have
you could have all the rum you wanted oh
what a great train ride that would be
that's the kind of train ride you never
want to end oh my goodness oh well
that's pretty good West that's pretty
great
Sylvia at 61 years old I have to pace
myself yeah I hear ya but sometimes I
feel like eight forty five years old but
today I'm feeling 61 laughing out loud
Wes I agree the rum was terrific best
pina coladas we ever had he must have
been on that same trip once to Jay Sonic
by the way when your wife uses the
microwave it will mess up the Wi-Fi
signal if your modem is on the other
side of your house and the microwave is
the middle I guess it'll interfere and
maybe you had some interference lately I
think I think Jen was in the kitchen
nuking up some tea or something
Oh I'll have to tell her about that
Thank You JSON Cathy Butler Scott
Bradley the censorship is real Paul well
I guess I like Dunkin Donuts better than
Tim Hortons you know whatever turns you
on you know some folks seen a lot of
folks in Canada they swear by Starbucks
over Timmy's and in their Arlie there's
another chain Agana called the second
cup that's kind of a barista like a
Starbucks kind of place dude all
Canadian and they enjoy that more than
Starbucks and and then there's the
there's the battles a lot of folks in
Canada see the best coffee McDonald's
McDonald's has great coffee in Canada so
like I said there's no clear leader just
the fact is there are more Tim Hortons
in Canada than McDonald's more Tim
Hortons than KFC's more Tim Hortons and
Wendy's or Burger King it's the number
one franchise in Canada for numbers it's
in stunning it's just too stuck there
everywhere a lot of minor hockey league
teams get sponsored by the local
McDonald's franchisee and there's a
tunnel loyalty for that so you know what
can I say
Jay sonic that is why you had a single
problem i buffering a bit about 10-15
minutes ago cam Wilson who's Timmy
Horton Timmy Horton was a hockey player
a defenseman who played most of his
career with the Toronto Maple Leafs
during their glory years in the 60s late
50s and 60s
Timmy Horton was one strong guy tough as
nails at a marine type haircut during
his prime
then the last few years of his life in
the 70s he was he grew his hair out like
all guys did in the 70s by then and he
ended up playing in Buffalo for the
Sabres when they first came into the
league and he created a little business
he needed a business to make some money
on the offseason rather than just live
off of his hockey salary because in the
50s and 60s these hockey players they're
making 40,000 a year they weren't making
a million a year you know nothing like
that or 10 million right like that and I
think he and another guy started a
doughnut coffee and doughnut place and
they built like four or five of them in
the Toronto area where he played and his
name recognition in Toronto made it so
that it had a chance to grab a foothold
and they had a formula they ended up
with a formula where once they got to
six or ten 12 locations they had to get
centralized on their billing and how to
run a franchise and a larger entity and
of course economies of scale brought the
pricing down the costs down boosting
hopefully profit and so by the time he
died in 74 I think he had 65 plus
locations by the time he passed away and
within a few years of him passing the
family which was now running it anyway
they sold control of the company to a
larger entity that could really take it
to another level and they sold for a lot
of money and they did have stock in the
company still but a minority position
and eventually when Wendy's took it over
I don't know if the Tim Horton family
had anything left in the business things
they did it might have been a half of
one percent something very small but
yeah it's an icon but Timmy Timmy Horton
is more famous for his donuts than his
hockey playing yet he had a stellar
career so I believe he's a Hall of Famer
I believe he's in the Hall of Fame hello
young anyone else video buffering
exactly Peter oh okay whoops ll fell out
laughs a lot camels and you still going

doughnuts on cruise ships are even
tastier do they even have doughnuts on
cruise ships
do they really go through the bother of
making doughnuts on cruise ships you
know those you know the ones I love are
the mini doughnuts the ones they make it
the fare you know you'll go to the save
the calories exhibition is Stampede or a
State Fair and they got those machines
where they they make them like six at a
time and you see them flipped in the
middle they flip the other side and
they're in that oil and then they come
off the end and then they sugar up with
the sugar a dusting on top and maybe a
little cinnamon on top of that and then
he gets like ten in a bag for like two
bucks or something oh those are tasty
and they're still warm
oh those mini doughnuts they're not
fattening thank God you know like
they're just
melt in your mouth and they don't affect
you whatsoever oh my godness

mousse okay thank you
Peter hekima I love the baked goods on
the cruise ships they are always freshly
baked really enjoying the pastries yeah
they make nothing stale on a cruise ship
when it comes to bread or buns or
pastries it's all made on board everyday
24/7 they're down there cranking that
stuff out it's incredible it's the thing
that a lot of people who've never been
on a cruise don't understand that you
can't bring bread on board a cruise ship
by the loaf before a cruise starts if
you want to do a seven-day cruise with
4,000 passengers and 1500 crew members
talking 5,500 people that are looking
for toast in the morning or bread or or
buns or whatever you got a it's all
baked onboard you bring the flour on
board in 50-pound bags you bring the
sugar on board and massive 20,000
five-pound bags and all the shortening
and you know and the butter and
everything else you need but you get you
bacon you bacon on board you cannot have
a loaf of bread for the seventh day when
you start a cruise on day one you
haven't got room to store it you just
don't have the room
but you
store thousands of pounds of flour and
sugar and the butter and the milk and
everything else you need to bake the
bread yeah as long as you got the oven
going me look out we're making bread
love the baked goods everyone's
welcoming everybody all right the story
I had today about excursions had to do
with a story I found regarding San Juan
Puerto Rico
there was a story today that I saw about
San Juan Puerto Rico where for cruise
ships came into port for visits in one
day
that would be the harmony of the Seas
from Royal Caribbean msec side came in a
horrible meant Carnival Magic Carnival
Magic carnival magic and carnival
ecstasy came in and the estimate was
that 17,000 passengers came into port in
one day that was the good news story
that I was reading here and then the
story went on to say that the economic
impact for San Juan for the day would be
one and a half million dollars and I was
thinking about that going well how much
is that how much is that per person as I
was kind of curious how this would work
out so I took the 17,000 I divided it
out and I came up with 85 dollars a
person and I said to myself that can't
be right it just it can't be right that
that's too high it's not too low it's
too high how can how can that much money
be spent on average for 17,000
passengers because typically when a
cruise ship arrives into a port even San
Juan not every single passengers gonna
get off the ship maybe 90% will get off
the ship maybe 80% will get off the ship
together 10 20 he'll stay on board and
they'll enjoy the pool because it's
quiet now
they'll be in this spa me because it's
quiet now or they'll only be on this
onshore for an hour or two and then back
on the ship so you want to get to 80
five bucks a person average I gotta
figure that we're talking about maybe
fourteen thousand people fourteen or
fifteen thousand people not 17,000
people went on shore to spend you know
to spend some time how much money that
they each span to get to this kind of
number because I do go on shore cheers
by the way I do go on shore with with
Jen my Jennifer Aniston look-alike wife
um but we won't take a crew we won't
take a tour or we'll just walk around
like in the case of San Juan
please go walk around downtown San Juan
and yeah we ended up in a we ended up in
a what is it a pharmacy store and I
bought myself a big old bottle of
caffeine free diet coke to carry around
with me because it's hot and humid in
San Juan Puerto Rico we did look for
some t-shirts or some knick-knack
tourists these things in finding we
wanted had we found a t-shirt it would
have been 15 bucks or something like
that nothing too expensive my wife
certainly wasn't looking to go shopping
for anything expensive in San Juan
Puerto Rico and then we did end up
walking a block or two and we ended up
at a we ended up at a Burger King
actually just coming back to me now and
we went in there we ordered a soda a
large caffeine or a diet coke because
you can't buy caffeine free and we
filled that mug up with ice at the
machine there and chopped up and then as
we drank it inside the restaurant which
is air-conditioned we're cooling off I
was pouring the rest of my cola into the
into this drink because my Cola was
getting you know not cold anymore so I
was cooling it off inside the ice and
just finishing it up through the bottle
away and we then walked another hour
hour and a half
le's leisurely around and we ended up at
a Starbucks and we went into the
Starbucks and we could use the Wi-Fi for
free and I felt like well you know I've
had my caffeine free Cola
I want to Starbucks latte of course I
got a caffeine boost
just driving my body crazy anyway we
added it all up and sure we bought a
bottle of Cola we bought a drink at the
at the Burger King and we had a latte
and my wife had a tea at the Starbucks
so what do we spend fifteen bucks
eighteen bucks that was it and then from
there we walked back to the ship and and
from there into our room changed out and
went to the spa and brucey had himself a
lovely time in a very quiet spa area on
the on the ship which was the Explorer
of the Seas so I'm thinking to myself
well if the average is $85 somebody had
to have spent because my wife and I
spent not even ten dollars each someone
had to have spent way more than than
that to make up the average because we
were supposed to have dropped $170 and
we didn't we dropped 20 so who's
spending a hundred and what ever more
than 170 they were supposed to spend and
there were thousands of us who didn't do
all these tours now they had the fort
the tours of the old fort and they had
golf outings and they had you know maybe
maybe a charter fishing thing you know
whatever the events are they had all
kinds of event but I can't see 80% of
the ship taking advantage of all those
outings I can see only maybe half the
ship doing that the other half we just
dropped in and the port and enjoyed
ourselves so this this number of $85 a
passenger I'm having trouble coming up
with how to justify that and this is
specific to San Juan Puerto Rico
now the Alaska train right yeah 366
bucks I can see where those numbers are
coming from but the own half train rides
like that in Puerto Rico going on a golf
outing for four yeah yeah you might be
spending a hundred bucks each hundred
twenty bucks each hundred fifty bucks
each I don't know maybe there you're
dropping some coin but a lot of folks
aren't learned a lot of folks doing that
maybe there's eight ten twelve sixteen
golfers not one thousand people golfing
on golf course so I'm trying to figure
out how how does this work now here's
the other thing I read up on the article
went on to say the
the annual revenue expected from cruise
ship visits into San Juan Puerto Rico
was going to be 250 million dollars and
that was gonna be from a total of 1
million 700 thousand guests and I'm
going wait wait wait a minute if you
divide that number into that number 1.7
million into 250 million you come up
with $147 a person even more than the 85
how does that happen there was no
justification how these numbers were
worked out and this is where I'm sitting
here going something's not right with
this picture
I do understand though there are ships
that do use San Juans Harbor as the home
port and as such there are people who
fly in the San Juan Puerto Rico stay in
a hotel
one night get over to the cruise ship
and go on a cruise and they eat when
they get there they take a cab or rent
the car maybe and they're spending some
money right but again there's a lot of
folks who come in to San Juan on a
cruise on the day of the cruise which I
don't recommend you do they try to get
in there by noon and then get right to
the ship and get on the ship and not
even spend a dime on short other than
maybe a cab right and on the way out the
same thing the cruise is over and they
get off the ship and they go right to
the airport and get out of Dodge so this
$147 number I can't figure out if all
1.7 million were using this the port as
a home port I could see it making a
little more sense but that's not the
case here we're talking really about
maybe Oh what are we talking about
you're probably 500,000 people using the
home port and 1.2 million our visitors
for the day only and so if de visitors
spend eighty five dollars each on
average and those who use it as a home
port spend more they gonna have to spend
way more than 147 to make up that number
and so I was throwing this around in my
brain today that's why I'm asking you
guys how much money do you spend when
you go on a on an excursion whether you
know whether you're walking around and
enjoying yourselves on your own
or whether there's two couples that get
together and say we're renting a cab for
the day and we're gonna be in Cozumel or
we're gonna go on a trip in for devar
now just take us around part about it
for a day I'm gonna stop it
one or two beachside bars for a couple
of drinks and then continue on there's
no way you're spending that kind of
money because you're teaming up for the
cab here you're buying drinks at local
prices not cruise ship prices how does
this number come out that's what I
wanted to know so I'm kind of curious
folks does anyone out there have any
thoughts on this topic or am I just
boring you to tears I'm gonna find out
in just a second as I go back in time
for my for my thing here I'm catching up
with my messages oh my goodness okay
Richard see the bread and rolls are
great even in the morning for breakfast
YUM can't wait to go on my aussie cruise
fantastic Thomas Henry Thomas Oh Bruce
how about a about a nice meet and greet
cruise to Bermuda from Boston or New
York City
I've never been to Bermuda Thomas that's
low on my priority list it really is
getting on a cruise ship out of New York
at certain times of the year is now off
my radar because I've been through the
bomb cyclone as a passenger leavin New
York with my wife on the Explorer of the
Seas and I'm not doing that again
that's not happenin a second time I
would far rather depart from a Florida
port if it includes Bermuda maybe but
it's got to be Caribbean really but
certain times of the year that you just
want to be doing it JSON JSON ik was
teasing Pamplemousse about the name and
pablum was saying no problem on that but
let's see je sonic but the doughnuts
yum yum over there at the majestic
Regency Hotel je sonic is really pumping
the quality of the doughnuts here in
Maine camels and excursions Peter hekima
Bruce does that include pork feet good
question it might you know
it might but again if you're booking a
one-week cruise to the Caribbean you
know and and it's a balcony room and
you're spending seven or $50 eight
hundred bucks whatever the fare was your
taxes and fees for the entire deal might
have run you a hundred bucks hundred ten
bucks that might include three or four
stops so maybe twenty thirty bucks is
included in there if you know that might
make might help right that might help
the average it's certainly a way to
guarantee the port city a bit of the
action by charging a port feet but
eighty-five dollars a person I don't
think so if San Juan Puerto Rico wanted
to charge that kind of money for
passenger cruise ships will go elsewhere
as they don't have to go there they'll
drop they'll drop that Island sofa
remember Alaska the state of Alaska
wanted to impose I believe it was a
fifty dollar per person tax or port
charge state tax for cruise ship
passengers this was they tried to
implement this might have been a decade
ago this is a while now that didn't last
long they passed that bill in the
legislature the governor I think signed
that bill and the cruise lines were kind
of going I wouldn't I wouldn't do that
if I were you I wouldn't wouldn't be
doing that and they went ahead and did
it they did it they said to the cruise
lines screw you guys we're charging you
guys fifty bucks a passenger that comes
in to to Alaska whatever you're coming
one time you're gonna pay fifty bucks
and guess what happened cancellation
it's the cancellation cruises just got
cancelled because cruise lines found the
passengers canceled rooms
I'm not going to Alaska not paying 50
bucks to visit Alaska from a cruise ship
that's a money grab and within months
that deal died that debt bill was
rescinded and there is no $50 per person
tax to visit Alaska anymore and why
Alaska did in the first place is beyond
me because look at the numbers today
look at the numbers of people going to
Alaska
Vancouver and Seattle on on week-long
cruises the train ride we're talking
about here at the zipline rides they
have the excursions that they're
offering folks are spending so much
money in Alaska
what is Alaska trying to do a pull a
fast one and put in a fifty dollar tax
on top of an individual
let them pay fifty bucks in taxes or
profits to Alaskans who run businesses
in Alaska to take care of these hundreds
of thousands if not millions of
passengers they don't vote they don't
really pollute that much you know
they're they're not like it's not like
we're building factories in Alaska to
house people they're coming in they're
spending they and they're leaving it's a
wonderful cash business
that's why no one port will dare try to
charge an outrageous tax because the
cruise ships are gonna go we can go
elsewhere we can go anywhere in the
planet why why would we why would we
soak our people with this kind of money
when you're trying to charge triple
quadruple five times what any other port
would want to charge us but good point
on the on the feet that might be part of
it
thank you Peter Wendy Thompson the
Sweetwater doughnuts in Kalamazoo

fantastic cam Wilson for me I'm going to
treat myself to an excursion
Pamplemousse maybe that figure also
includes port fees the ship lined pace
to the local government it could be
Pamplemousse it could be Kathy Butler
Thomas how thoughtful that brings to
mind are their limitations on what
cruise employees can accept from guests
good question
the one the one thing I remember a
friend of mine real good buddy mine
excuse me his son was a dancer on
Princess anus is now me he and his now
wife were dancers on princess and I
asked him one day were you allowed to
accept any kind of gifts gratuities from
passengers as a dancer and he said no
now we weren't really allowed to accept
tips like you know we were you don't
give dancers cash money this is not like
that kind of place there might be
certain establishments on shore where
you can stuff $1 bills on a g-string you
know those kinds of dancers but on
cruise ships no you know tip you don't
have to tip the dancers anything however
he went on to say however we did have on
a number of occasions we would have
passengers that we would see and
recognized
from the last time they were on this
particular ship because they're on the
ship three times a year every year and a
number of these folks were once
performers themselves now whether they
were performers on cruise ships or
dancers in Broadway and what-have-you um
but he did go on to say that they did
begin to befriend them from time to time
they would you know they'd recognize him
and say hello it and they would they
would see them on the decks and would
talk to him you know in the deck area of
the ship and he said to me that there
were several couples that were real fans
and that they insisted if if they would
go into if they were in port the next
day and the the the dancers didn't have
a rehearsal they would take the entire
troupe out for a bite to eat on land at
their their expense and the kids would
be allowed the dancers would be a lot
off the ship if they weren't didn't have
to rehearse that day and had had the
time to go they'd be able get off the
ship for three or four hours and this
would be arranged weeks in advance
emails would be sent back and forth
between the the the husband and wife
that were going to be on the ship and
the dancers and so it might be part of
IATA or it might be you know st. Thomas
or wherever and the deal is we're all
gonna get into a bus they'll have
arranged a taxi bus to get everybody up
to the ritz-carlton whatever and they'd
head to a the main dining room and then
this couple would treat them to a meal
and they would hang out with the dancers
for like two hours and there would be
just a gap fest about you know cruise
life dancing life what are your plans
for the future you know what's your next
contract gonna be about where you gonna
be this kind of thing so there would be
a lot of that will that would go on and
and that's kind of a gift it's a gift
it's a it's a you know dinner and I
thing but it's not a you know it's not a
bribe or here's a hundred bucks for you
a kind of thing it's one of these just
hang out with you guys you guys are
great lots of fun fantastic my my pal
who's like I said whose son was the
dancer there was a cruise he took he was
he was a single on a cruise and he
booked the cruise it was a repositioning
cruise and he booked a single fare and
his son it was it was a full ship it was
it was packed and through his son he
managed to get a room and they got to
check-in and I'm not sure how this broke
down but it how it happened was that the
father ended up not getting the room
that they were thinking the father ended
up sharing a combination with the son on
the cruise ship in the crew quarters and
so he got that hang out with his boy
downstairs he got special permission
passes out work and so he was with his
kid down below with the gang and when
they would get to shore the son was a
okay dad we're all going to there's a
special place we love to go for beers
whenever we get to this port we we go
there because they've got you know fish
and chips or whatever the deal is
blessed they got Greek drinks and so off
they would go and he and he said I
learned stuff about the cruise business
I had no idea that I you know what went
on and got to meet all the other fellow
dancers and performers he would meet the
magicians he met the singers he met the
the actors all the go the whole crew he
got to meet then he got to you know
shown around down below dad let me show
you around there's certain areas we
can't go certain areas we can go let me
show you around a little bit and he
loved it it was his most favorite cruise
and he delighted and telling me all
kinds of stuff was going on pretty cool
pretty cool stories Thomas Henry my
excursions usually range from 89 to $159
a person per excursion we had six
excursions on one recent star cruise all
helped by 250 dollar credits from
Norwegian Thomas Henry I have read many
tip posts never had that one Caffey most
people are looking to reduce the tipping
yeah yeah there's a some who tip or
somewhat tip less Richard C in
looks like in Agoura New Zealand we will
each spend three hundred and thirty nine
dollars for train ride in the
countryside a little pricey but how
often do you go to New Zealand right how
often a trip of a lifetime amortize it
over ten years its thirty thirty nine
dollars a year thirty-three dollars a
year keep the memory alive fantastic
Richard Wendy Thompson we all got we all
we got a all day taxi tour for two pair
for two parent new jeans in st. Thomas a
taxi tutor and two pair of new jeans
okay sir
gotcha you were in the cab all day and
you end up with two pairs of blue jeans
as well fantastic Hamilton you've been
through a bomb cyclone was it scary I've
always wondered what it was like to
cruise through a storm it was bad it was
really bad
well I didn't like it I'll tell you that
right now I I feel like it would just
sleep through the whole time I tell you
right now cam I wish I was asleep the
whole time I really do I tried to sleep
through as much of it as I could it was
very upsetting the motion was was rough
we weren't in the inside room that was
our one one issue I wish I had a balcony
I could at least look down at it and
tried to anticipate it or or be
mesmerized by the monster waves hitting
the ship because we heard them in the
ship we felt them hit the ship it was it
was a rough about 30 hours thankfully
the remaining eight and a half days were
fantastic absolutely fantastic and today
when we're told were going through 25 30
foot waves children can go through that
come on we went through worse and 100
mile an hour winds and it was had yeah
it didn't eat for a day and a half what
a great diet that was let me tell you I
couldn't even drink my blessin caffeine
free I couldn't drink this this makes me
burp settles my stomach
I couldn't even drink this stuff
couldn't consume anything I was on my
side in bed the whole time and just
praying for it to be over and just would
rather have slept through it and I did
get to our segments hour and a half two
hour segments of sleep which is great
because it helped pass
the time but it was a long 30 hours I
was happy about that
Cathy mom I was thinking actual gift not
a money tip or for special yeah um it's
very difficult to give a crew member a
gift because they don't have any space
to keep anything so you can't give them
you know anything big what can you give
them you know you can't give them like a
Costco gift card because if they're from
the from Indonesia they may not have a
Costco that doesn't know good you know I
want to give them a candle not a good
idea give them a you know can't give a
microwave I mean you know what do you
what do you get them right do you buy
him a t-shirt really do they really need
a teacher when they're down below you
know they're living minimally down there
because there's lack of space and cash
is king I mean cash is king for these
people they can send that home they can
send the money home to the family it's
it's a it's a difference maker it might
get one of their children a birthday
present
that you know that's coming up or or a
couple of kids birthday presents coming
up while they're away something from dad
or mom that's the cash is king
absolutely Thomas Henry I gave the cabin
steward my sonic care toothbrush laughs
a flap really are you kidding me a sonic
Thomas did I hear sonic Bruce knows very
deep I don't like going out of New York
and I live here
I live here carnival horizon will be the
second out of the six cruises out of New
York I go to the I go to Baltimore or we
have even gone down to Charleston there
you go try to get away from that
Nor'easters there they can be bad Jay
sonic but I won't go further in detail
Debbie manual excursions in Alaska on
upcoming cruise highest-paid to date
train ride gold panning I think and sled
dogs six hours two hundred fifty four
bucks each and Skagway big money yeah I
won't do that I just
it's just me though I again I live up
here and it's not a novelty for me so I
just don't go for it but to each his own
Mary wait can you explain that reason
for not liking leaving New York we've
done it once and our schedule again what
the name is okay the thing about New
York is this I Love New York
believe me I love that town but we took
a cruise from Bayonne New Jersey down to
the Caribbean
now we booked it three months before two
months before whatever was and what
you're hoping for in our case it was a
winter getaway so we were leaving in I
think it was March and we were hoping
for you know won't be too cold when
we're in New York and hopefully it won't
be a stormy and we were in New York for
three days prior to the cruise and it
was in the 40s the first day the 50s the
next day and the day of the cruise we
were 62 degrees and testing this must
have been February it couldn't have in
March must have in February it was very
nice for the time of year and the water
in New York Harbor was like glass was
just stunning the reflection of
Manhattan off the water Oh beautiful so
we leave the harbor at 4:00 and
afternoon after the muster drill and all
is great we had dinner that night and of
course it's you know dark at 4:30 it's
early early dark days right and the
captain comes on to the speaker system
and says that through the evening it's
going to get a bit rough we're coming
through a storm system that's moving
north to New York and to Boston New
England and we're heading south so we're
gonna go right through it you know at 24
knots or in 25 miles an hour maybe 30
miles an hour and the storm is coming
north and so that'll cut down the along
the amount of time it'll take to get
through it and I thought well it's in
the it's in the evening so you know
we'll be asleep by the time we hit it
and hopefully you know I'll just be
gently rocked and sleep the whole night
through and in the morning hopefully
we'll be through the worst of it didn't
work out that way we
woke up at about 8 a.m. and we were
really moving it was not good and my
wife Jen had to go to the bathroom and
she had a tough time getting there cuz
it you know arms out on the walls to get
to the bathroom and she said this is not
fun at all she came right back into bed
and then it was my turn to attempt my
number one and same thing oh I was
hunched over and oh oh no I mean I got
there I sat on the toilet I did what I
had to do and I work my way back and and
we thought well you know what let's get
up and maybe we can walk to the middle
of the ship or you know in the middle
the middle area of the expertise is a
big walk weight like a shopping mall
kind of walk way in there why don't we
go there and go to the middle of the
ship and see if it's you know a little
easier to take and maybe I'll grab a
coffee at the Starbucks or something uh
I didn't make it there we barely got
down the hallway we got to the the lobby
where the stairs are and conveniently
placed among in that Lobby were these
err airplane bags you know the kind of
bag I'm talking about I found one of
those oh I gave back whatever I add from
last night I had nothing from last night
it was all I digested dinner last night
oh I didn't feel good and back to the
room we went oh we didn't want to go
anywhere so I went back and racked back
into bed I found that lying in bed on my
left side I felt a better than if I laid
on my right side on my left side that
helped with my digestive flow I guess I
don't know and for my equilibrium I
don't know I could just lay in the bed
and just suffer through it but I
couldn't even drink a sip of Cola to
help give me any kind of flavor in my
mouth or any kind of hydration couldn't
drink a thing couldn't eat a thing not a
thing
so for the entire day that whole day we
were in the room and that entire night
we were in the room and it was the next
morning we woke up and we were
through at that point we were about 85%
through it
and we were down to 20 foot waves and we
were much better off and that we then
powered our way to the buffet at the
back of the ship they still had all the
outdoor decks closed off as far as like
the promenade deck is concerned couldn't
go there the pool deck you could go
because they had these walls on the
outside with the track on top so the
pool deck was about 20 feet down from
the outside of the ship so you could
walk there but the pools at netting
across them of course and we walked
through there and I could see outside I
could that was first time I could see it
because we were in the inside room we
had no view and it was ugly it was nasty
but we made it to the buffet and got
some tomato juice salt in the tomato
juice and sin that just sip that's the
first thing I tried went down okay had
about half the glass then got a coffee
and sipped on that a little bit had
about half of that and then I think I
had a little bit of muesli half a bowl
of muesli and ate that it was okay and I
said to my wife that's it
I won't stuff myself because I can't and
I don't wanna chance it so we'll keep it
nice and light and let's see how we do
an hour or two from now and sure enough
an hour or two later I was hungry and
this ship was calming down and we went
back to the buffet because I couldn't
sit I couldn't see myself committing to
sit at a restaurant for two hours or an
hour trying to eat something so I
thought I'll just nibble at the buffet
I'll grab a plate I'll try a little this
little that eat it if I want moral and
and that's exactly what I did and so
that lunch went okay and then by dinner
time it was all back to normal we were
fine but talking to the passengers on
that ship
there were veterans of 3040 cruises
never had they experienced one like that
before never had they experienced that
nothing that bad they've been in bad
stuff they'd been on ships thirty years
ago through bad weather nothing as bad
as this one and we're on a monster ship
with 4,000 passengers a stabilizer
system and we were getting tossed around
it was awful so
the New York experience is difficult I
would wouldn't mind going out of New
York in the summer but in the winter if
there's a chance for a cyclone like that
not a chance do I want anything to do
with it and this year we heard about the
story of the folks getting caught in the
bomb cyclone on the way back to New York
they were coming from Bermuda back to
New York and they were going with the
storm so they got it for three solid
days or two and a half solid days and
they were really upset with the cruise
line cuz the crew slides gotta get that
ship back on time got to get back on
time gotta get these people off gotta
get the next group on and go and they
went right through that storm in the
middle of it and they had no break until
they got into New York Harbor just
terrible that's why I'm not interested
in a winter cruise out of New York not
not this guy once but not twice so
that's my story about that sorry for
those of you who've heard it before but
yeah that's the deal auntie Jane Thomas
Henry I want to be on a cabin cruise
with you and everyone fantastic
let's hope Bruce can make it happen
auntie J lobs J sonic lobster doughnuts

Peter hekima Bruce maybe you become a
dance you became a you can become a
dance host free cruise just like lemon

at that sorry it's my first cruise left
New York no problems at all I bet you 19
out of 20 20 out of 30 29 on 39 900 are
perfect they go great it's the one that
you get that you don't ever want and oh
boy we were on that ship and we knew
there's no escape we can't get off this
thing you know can't get a helicopter
come and get me that we're done we're on
this baby oh it was bad
Jay sonic Thomas chili dogs but for me I
call myself a hedgehog also in the furry
world I eat cheese casitas he says and I

that's $30 each times have to be careful
I guess filio SR hey Bruce just joined
in hope I haven't missed much so great
so great news we both loved our first
cruise on the seaside so much we've just
booked to go back for two weeks next
year I'm really glad to hear that I know
you sent me a message earlier on my
channel and I'm really glad you got a
good cruise this is fantastic the price
is right
you can't beat the deal absolutely and I
hope you enjoyed steamed and bean is
here hey hey hey at least some more two
weeks now Thomas Henry hey bean where
you been a steam and being been busy
teach in those grapevines I think auntie
Jane Richards see that area is beautiful
and I hope you have a wonderful time and
the weather is stunning for you all this
is Alaska I believe steaming see me bean
58 more days for me
Debbie Manuel Wow great news about the
seaside Philly o--'s are steaming bean
why the devil does Bruce drink decaf
light a diet coke jeez Louise why do you
drink that stuff it's simple I love a
latte in the morning give myself a
caffeine jolt to wake up that's cool but
during the day if I have like three of
these for the whole day and these are
diet cokes
you bought a caffeine in a diet coke too
much there is in there tons I'd be just
bouncing off the walls don't you folks
remember last week I was having
chocolate cake and regular diet coke you
remember what happened to me on those
live streams I was bouncing off the
walls I can't have that gotta keep Bruce
calm gotta keep Bruce calm Steven bean
give the Stuart 20 bucks
he says Mamie Heath um good evening just
joining in but you guys are scaring me
this is my first trip and you guys are
like that one's like way up and down on
that ship oh my goodness no don't know
if I'm ready for a trip me me um I just
got to tell you that the odds of you
getting caught in a nasty storm are very
very very small indeed
cruise ships generally if they can
they'll go around storm systems in our
case we had to get the Labadee Haiti
from New York in the 48 hour window that
they have because
ships that leave New York in the winter
the first thing they want to do is go
about 15-hundred miles south as fast as
they can to get through the warm weather
because you're not gonna hang around New
England in January February and March
not a chance and so the chance you're
taking out of New York in that timeframe
a year is that you're gonna run into a
storm heading north while you're heading
south and even if it's a moderate you
know moderate system the winds are 40
miles an hour and you're going 25 miles
an hour you got 65 mile an hour winds I
tell you the first day of a cruise out
of New York and even most of the second
day the pool is closed it's an outdoor
pool you're not gonna be in an outdoor
pool at 50 degree weather with a 30 mile
an hour wind no way so the first day or
two the cruise lines just make a beeline
they head south as fast as they can to
get out of the system in our case we ran
into a winter Blizzard that was heading
up through it hit Washington already now
it was gonna hit Philly then it went
through up to Trenton then into New York
and eventually Boston and they got
whacked but we got it for 30 hours
instead of 72 hours because we went
through it rather than sitting in New
York waiting for it to pass and the ship
wasn't gonna do that it wasn't gonna sit
there and wait for it to pass we only
had a nine day cruise and so it had to
go and it did the ship had no problem
with the waves believe me it was the
humans on board that had the problem but
in your case if you're going on a cruise
shortly you got nothing to worry about
you'll be just fine even if you're in
the Caribbean and there's hurricane
season you're not gonna be in a
hurricane
the ships will divert completely around
it stay on the Atlantic where it's calm
or they'll head towards Grand Cayman New
Mexico they will not put you in harm's
way so don't worry about that we all
have stories
phileas yeah couldn't resist going with
the spa package two three and fifty days
and Counting haha and you must have had
a good spa package on the ship that must
have been nice steaming beam this is the
seaside esteem you mean Mamie the storms
