  1. How can we rent this type of ship in a journey from East Africa to Saudi Arabia every year with estimated 2000 -3000 passengers

  2. A big round of applause to this wonderful video! I've never been on a cruise, but all the knowledge and realistic (& relevant) information in this video have given me a clear picture of how things go on a cruise ship. All the 55 minutes have been enjoyed overwhelmingly. Thank you, Rick and your team.

  3. Excited for this amazing tour of the Mediterranean waters and fantastic locations. Here I come in 5 weeks!

  4. You give a lot of great tips, most or all without pricing. You have been my eyes to see some of the most wonderful sights. I know cost is ever changing. I would like to know who the safest organization is to contact for a Cruze. Economical would be nice, but wonderful.

  5. Not that I would ever cruise as a way to explore Europe, but this video totally un-sold me on the idea forever. Trust me people, as long as you're physically able, fly to the first city you want to visit, get a clean hotel somewhere and explore it on your own. Take trains around to other cities and skip the big crowds. Find your own restaurants and accommodations, it's an adventure. I can't help but feel like Rick was gritting his teeth throughout this entire video.

  6. Another fluffy, white ,upper class oriented video…..Yes Rick and they lived happily ever after.. lol…. you are such a bore, only video you made that was half way decent was on Iran. Now go back to eating lobster by the seashore.

  7. Love this way of traveling,watching from home no packing ,no crowds no planes,We traveled a lot times are different.prefer to be home watching on TV

  8. Such a big foot print in the med! Did U know during Covid all ships were out of the med in Italy and the canal came back to being blue!!!!

  9. This video was wonderful. We are planning a cruise of the Mediterranean next spring and this was super helpful! Best Mediterranean cruise review I’ve seen.
