When I saw this trip advertised at just £654 ($829) per person, I thought this could be the chance I’ve been waiting for to take my family on a cruise. I wasn’t sure how cruising with children would change the way that I do things and I hoped that they would enjoy it as I’m always telling them how great cruises are.

My nieces who are 6 and 13 have cruised twice before but they had rough weather on both their past cruises so my hope for this cruise was that we would have calm seas and a lot of fun. There are so many things to do on Royal Caribbean cruises, things that really have to be seen to be believed.

Before we even embarked the ship we had an email about bad weather. It said that Royal Caribbean had been ‘monitoring some adverse weather along our intended path’ and that we would now be calling at Bergen for our first port stop.

I hope this would mean that we would avoid the bad weather completely but only time would tell. I was nervous that this would be my nieces 3rd rocky sailing.

We embarked the ship in Southampton and it was very easy. We’d already checked in online before arriving so we just had to scan our passports and boarding passes before going through security. Boarding a cruise is very much like going through an airport but generally more relaxed and faster. It took us under 10 minutes to get onto the ship and I can’t imagine getting through an airport that fast.

  • “On Royal Caribbean, donuts are a breakfast food.” Lol, probably because they’re a breakfast food in all of the US 😅
  • lol Emma just casually browsing what’s on the telly at the end of the video. 😂😂

    A scone connoisseur is surely a sconnoisseur
  • "I didn't come here to dodge, I came here to bump" sounds like something you'd say at a club in one's twenties 😇😄

    The fact that the pizzeria has ketchup dispensers does not make it right! (says the guy with pineapple one his pizza) 🙂
  • We saw you on the cruise a few times! We didnt want to interrupt your family time, but it was great to see you! We went on thie cruise because of your past video on Anthem in Norway, had a fantastic time and will be going on another cruise! We had an interior room on Deck 7 and had no issues with not having windows, though we did both miss the fresh air and spent lots of time at the back of the windjammer. Ketchup definitely goes on pizza. Thanks for the advice in other videos on getting insurance with missed port cover, it was so helpful for the port change. 14 ducks? We only found 2 despite many frantic duck hunts! Spotted myself at 15:14

    I agree 100% about hand washing in the buffet!
  • @maluminse6013
    Allowing "VIPs" to jump the queue is bad business. It's just going to leave a bad taste in the mouths of the people who have been patiently waiting. If I was cruising as a VIP I'd be embarrassed to do it.
  • @katm2518
    I'm 100% on board with your hand washing policy! I think the same policy should apply when we're on land too tho 😂

    I was turned onto pizza with ketchup in college. It's better on some pizzas than others...but the best, especially with thicker crust, is honey. Also, on our last RC cruise my wife became obsessed with the UK style of Heinz beans. She had them for breakfast every day and once we got home (Kansas) she special ordered them and has been having them ever since. If you're not aware, the UK style beans are more of a tomato base versus US style beans which tend to be sweeter or smokier, generally.

    When we were on Ovation, they even show washy washy song on that big poolside screen. I'm glad that they always take it seriously.

    "There were a few little kids in there... but they were great for getting easy points. I was here to win" Pretty sure that's the motto of every hardcore lazer tagger... 😂

    Every time I see one of your videos, I really want to go on a cruise. As someone who's deadly afraid of open seas and absolutely hates to be around many people, I never thought about it, it was always a clear no for me but seeing how beautiful those ships are, it just makes me want to try it.
  • We did Anthem last year with grandkids . They really enjoyed it and keep asking when can they go again . The staff were all fantastic and so accommodating especially at dinner making them feel really special.. They were also very diligent around the pools keeping an eye on young children. Could not fault it with so much to do for children .
  • @lawrence2087
    Emma, I’m an avid cruiser and have enjoyed your vids ever since subscribing some time ago. Alas, I must draw the line at ketchup on pizza. N-O! 😂😂 Nice job on this, it held my interest all the way!
  • I agree 100% always wash hands before the buffet or restaurant 🩵🩵🌺🌺🌺🩵🛳️🛳️🌊🌺🌺🩵🛳️🌞🌞🛳️🌊🩵

    "i didn't watch much tv" while scrolling through brazzers is wild 🤣🤣🤣
  • I cruised on P&O's Britannia in late June around the Fjords, It was a great experience since it was the first cruise I can remember, We found loads of ducks around the ship and I loved watching my sister hide them all for the next guests, really adds to the experience for younger kids.
  • @radioguyone
    Love your "....if they don't wash their hands....off the ship!!"
