[Kendall James-Vargas]

Which is your favorite luxury cruise line?

@Kendall James-Vargas I haven't cruised on a luxury ship before! I'm curious to hear the responses.

We’ve only done Azamara so far, but would like to try Oceania and Silverseas.

@FJB Which ship did you cruise on with Azamara? What were some of your favorite experiences onboard?

We went on the Journey. We enjoyed the smaller ship, the included everything, the food at the Patio, Prime C specialty restaurant, the White Night Party, the AzAmazing evening in Havana.  Just an overall great experience.

@FJB The AzAmazing evening sounds so fun! Was that a themed night onboard? It looks like the fleet's Atlas Bar would make anyone want to get the unlimited beverage package.

The beverage packages for Azamara seem really reasonably priced!

The AzAmazing evening was an event off the ship in Havana. They bussed everyone to the event and back. Very well organized.  Not sure if this is allowed on this site but here is our video of that cruise.

@FJB Thanks for sharing this video! You are quite the content creator. I truly enjoyed getting to see all that experienced through this video. It's an unforgettable memory. My husband has done this before with his go pro and a pole. That thing goes everywhere with us on vacation! Do you use a go pro?

I’ve got 2 GoPros, a DJI pocket, a Nikon DSLR, and 2 drones. I don’t take the drones on vacation- strictly for my farm videos.

@FJB That's awesome you have so many useful video options. I think keeping drones away from the ocean is probably a good choice! I used to live on a lake and our neighbors have lost a lot of cheaper drones on the lake because of the winds and user error.

Have only lost the drones in trees but have been able to retrieve them each time with only a few scratches. 

[Kendall James-Vargas]

@FJB At least you were able to retrieve them! I think investing in a more advanced drone is key, otherwise they aren't always easy to locate. I wonder if they have drones that float or are waterproof. That could be a good investment for anyone filming near the water!

There are some really good drones on the market, however, as a keen photographer, even I'm surprised at the price of some of the higher end prices. But you pay for quality I guess

[Kendall James-Vargas]

@PaulB Yes the prices on some drones are outrageous. I personally don't own a drone because I'm not willing to invest in a good one. I know if I purchase a mediocre one it will end up lost somewhere.
