Is The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection Worth The Money?

After looking to charter a private yacht it seemed like a logical step to save some money and see if I even like yachting by trying out the Ritz Carlton Evrima. It was actually cheaper to do this 5 night trip than it was for me to just do a 3 day weekend in St Barths when I was looking earlier in the year.

Nothing Stolen? Not Ripped Off? Nothing Crashed? Is this really a Rob Ferretti production?

awesome deviation from the normal car stuff RF! love it!
i’ve been on a few really nice expensive cruises. Seems like the Ritz Carlton does it really nice but the rooms are small for the $.
thanks for upload bub always fun.

Was looking at this a few days ago, I think it’s great value but my friends were less convinced. Great to see an actual review

290 is about the maximum number of people I ever want to be on any size boat with

I’ve been on five cruises now. Royal and Celebrity. I’ve always wondered about the Ritz Carlton. Their base cabin is the equivalent of a junior ocean suite on a standard higher end cruise ship with appx 3000 people. The Services is exactly the same one and cruise ship. There are people who tend to your room. Some are better than others I imagine, but we’ve never had an issue with anyone. This sounds like great value for money.

I went on a Alaska cruise with NCL in the Haven and it’s very intimate limited amount of suites for that area. Has its own pool and jacuzzi. So you’re never going to be too many people around. Plenty of entertainment if you so desire outside the haven. It was a great experience for the $$$$. Great video by the way was thinking of trying Ritz.

It’s very very much exactly like a cruise ship. Just less activities to do. The cabin was pretty but not higher end than a suite on Royal, Celebrity, or a Carnival Excel class ship. Looks very much like a mini cruise ship so I really like it! Thanks for the tour!

I've stayed at the Ritz Carlton Club on St Thomas a few times. Like you, I prefer land. It's in a great location across from St John. The Club rooms are like condos with 2 or 4 bedrooms, kitchens. Really cheap in off season (summer).

Ritz Carlton is one of my favourites for luxury accommodation, they have a program which allows you to buy anything you like in there hotels (Paintings, Sculptures, Linen, furniture or even the mattress) which is cool, First time seeing there cruise, looks like a much better cruise option as well (Traditional cruises are too chaotic for my liking). Great Video, Happy New Year

I have been on Evrima for 5 nights in Feb 2023. Enjoyed it so much, doing it again for 7 nights in March 2024. 298 guests MAX! No shows, no casino, no all day overhead announcements, no roving photographer, to name a few things. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Ritz Water! The food is fantastic. Service top notch. We stayed in a Signature Suite, plenty of space. Nespresso coffee makers in all suites. They will stock your in room fridge with what ever you’d like. The great thing, it’s all inclusive!

OMG! This is an awesome review! Thanks. I've never wanted to go on a regular cruise because it just doesn't seem like my thing. I need space and more luxury. This seems like I may like it more. I'd consider this, although I'm still not crazy about cruises. Thanks again 🥰

Ritz should’ve paid you for this… always said I’d never go on a cruise but this I would do.

[laleki]

What a beautiful ship. This is how I would want to cruise. Thanks for sharing!

[caesarminor]

I give you kudos for trying to cruise when you didn’t think you would like it. Great review . I think you kinda like cruising a little bit lol. You might actually like a regular cruise more than you think.

[yrsofcollege]

My man. That was a GREAT review for someone like me. We’re similar age, etc. I was wondering what this would be like. Thanks much

[AdjustToLive]

Great content Rob!
You should do more in other lifestyle/luxury areas like this on the channel! 👍

[goldencharms]

Thank you for sharing!! Was looking for a honeymoon cruise but this looks boring. Icon of the Seas it is!

[nohandleisagoodhandle]

Cinnamon Bay on St John is the most insane beach I've ever seen in person. Can't wait to go back--haven't been to the USVI since 2015... I miss it. Glad to see this as an option; we have never done a cruise due to all of the people.

St John’s is nice.

Ritz Carlton also has same size boat but the passengers onboard actually live on board and travel the world!

Worked as musician on cruises large and small. Italian, Brit, Hong Kong (exclusive first class) and even Russian cruise lines (also smaller) and a lot of fun.
There’s fun on either but did prefer the smaller more intimate atmosphere.
But with the Ritz Carlton it’s certainly a step up in design and would definitely try it out.
