We LOVE Traveling Robert, he is a super guy, makes great vlogs and just makes me happy to watch.  We started the Driving To the East marathon last night, I have been watching him for a very long time.  His content gets better and better and he just strikes me as a great person, which is important to me.  I have seen Kara and Nate and have to be honest, they are not our favourites.  I am aiming to hit 50 countries before I am 50 and so am pretty well travelled myself with only a few left, and I sometimes find they don’t read the local vibe well and it makes me cringe.  

I have been to some crazy places too and interpreting local customs and trying to workout what is going on is really important so when people don’t always adjust their behaviour it makes me uncomfortable. This is true of all of us when we travel sometimes though.  Wolters World is a channel aimed at the American market which does a really good job of explaining cultural differences, and Mark the presenter is superb.  Kyde and Eric have some good ones, they are Americans living in Japan and travelling the world when they can, I enjoyed their English ones most being a Brit, but you might like them.  They are an acquired taste. I have no idea why they spent two weeks on the Isle of Man though!

Also, we have just discovered this great chap and his girlfriend, he was doing a London series, and whilst not prolific yet has great promise, he is called Lincoln Riddle and is just another all over good person. Maybe you would enjoy some of those.

Hello Again Night One,

Thanks for the updated list.

I cannot help but notice that the Sea Cruisers are not included in your current choice.  May I ask why?  Obviously the quality has gone down hill drastically and watching an adult and a child is a very different dynamic to watching two engaging adults, but was it the boozing or the boring vlogs of entire comedy shows that finally did it for you?  Good to see that you have Favor on your list, she has some real skills for a beginner vlogger.  I like their channel and they also seem like good down to earth people, which is important to me with the people I follow.

There are a couple of new ones there for me to check out, so thank you for updating the list and this thread.

Yes, that is what this thread is about. (Vlogs)

 

While I consider your video to be a highly professional and commercial looking piece of work it is definitely not a vlog. :)

Carl, are you still enjoying and recommending Sea Cruisers?

I've recently really enjoyed Scott Singer on the Mediterranean Cruise. Loads of information, especially regarding access and mobility issues, timings and crowds. Good reminders about the shows, time zone changes and room tips. Really well done, think he has a bright future.

And easy with the passive aggressive xenophobia.

I guess that is when you know you have made it ... you get haters coming out of the woodwork. (and Brits)

 

 

If you don't like them then don't watch them but why people find it necessary to go off on long tirades and bash them is beyond me. Live and let live is what I say.

Wow. Not hating, just stating my opinion. As I also said, takes all sorts to make a world, so at least we agree on something.

I have watched all the Sea cruisers videos, when I started watching them I thought they were great, but more and more things started to bug me.

The amount of food they order then waste is unjustifiable, why order the same dishes each, have one bite then waste them. Why not share the dishes if they know they are only ordering just for a taste

The plugging for Tips is just getting too much now, yes Amy spends a lot of time doing them but as she says she enjoys doing it, so please stop begging for tips.

Their content is becoming a little repetitive, maybe because they do the same itineraries, so their latest trip should be more interesting but i'm guessing that will be a while away before they upload it.

At the moment I'm loving Josh Hocum, he covers a lot of items including the traveling to ports, local pre/post cruise stays and is a pretty funny guy, love his Moms input. He would make a great CD one day

My partner and I used to really enjoy the Sea Cruisers vlogs, they were informative and well edited, and actually often had music and nice panoramic shots in the middle. Nowadays they are dire. I too am very annoyed by the constant begging, especially drunken begging, and the bloomin Etsy ears - I think they should try and keep their Disney and Cruise channels more separate. The Disney cruise vlogs were useless for any adult trying to get an idea of the ship, I am not interested in queuing up to hug actors with big heads on, but some parents might want to see the adult areas on offer.

I am also concerned by the amount of food that they waste, and the example they set to their children, who are apparently home schooled although they don't seem to be equipped for life skills.. Unfortunately, we have decided to stop watching them as I cannot fund a lifestyle I so thoroughly disagree with. They just shout over each other and anyone who is giving a talk or something. If they came into a room I was in, I would leave. I really like Daddy Cooks - his family have been on some cruises and they are just a lovely family to watch and spend time with. I got to the point where I thought, I wouldn't invite the Donoho's round, so I don't need then in my front room. But it takes all sorts to make the world go round.
