Hi, we are Stephen, Jess, Hunter and baby Koa - an Australian family who have had quite the journey. After travelling the world as a couple in 2020 we had our very first baby, we then spent the following year self-converted a van before moving into it full-time to drive around Australia. Cut to 2023 we welcomed our second child Koa into the world before resuming full-time travel around the world.

[@flyingthenest]

Welcome to our final episode here on the worlds largest cruise ship - thanks so much for all your support you are seriously the best :) cannot wait to show you where we go next week :)

[@FoxNimbus]

Seeing Hunter and Koa get to experience such cool, fun stuff makes my heart happy. And I love seeing that the staff is so on it, friendly and smiling, lifeguards in the kid pools, they seem to be having just as much fun! You're making awesome core memories. ❤

[@avqlixo2614]

I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS EVERYTIME!

[@flyingthenest]

You're the best!

[@DannyA3579]

Said it before. I’ll say it again. I love watching you all. What a fun and adventurous family. After part 2, I’d commented that some of my friends are still working with Royal. My friends are the Adventure Ocean managers and some of the staff. So glad the kids had fun. It is incredible what Royal has done. The new ships are just stunning and loaded with everything for every age group. Thank you so much for such a great series on Icon. I guess you could say this was an “Icon”-ic adventure.

[@jtcarvachom]

OMG! Hunter trying to eat pasta at the end is the best part of the video 😂

[@emmawilletts4434]

You guys are LIVING! Its like another world for you guys compared to the rest of us...cost of living is a struggle. You guys got life right. Im a kiwi living in Canada and cant afford to get home to see my parents.

[@boppermacca9346]

This has been a brilliant series. Well done

[@flyingthenest]

Oh this means so much thank you!!!!

[@bajlandiabajlandia5898]

I can't wait, too! The adventures with you guys are out of this world. 💔💔

[@erikagholston6610]

Great series I have enjoyed watching these vlogs. It makes me want to go cruising.

[@pamogle488]

Fun fact: Every time a swim up bar is advertised, from Hawaii to the Caribbean to Mexico to Europe, it has been closed when we arrived. It’s become a family joke now.😂

[@flyingthenest]

aww damn!! sorry guys

[@astrologyjazzcat]

[@flyingthenest]

[@teajoysarcasm]

Love your videos so much guys! Random question- I know you guys have done a few cruises now, which cruise line do you think is your favourite? My family and I just did our first ever cruise which was on the Disney wonder on Jan- and wondering how different cruise companies compare :P

[@hannahbryant3526]

I love these videos so much ❤❤

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@ginaholshue8601]

I have to say that you really showed off this fabulous ship. Best video I have seen for the icon of the seas.

[@flyingthenest]

Aww wow!! Such a lovely comment and so glad you liked it

[@susanbrowne]

Living the dream 🙌

[@flyingthenest]

🙌 so thankful 🙌

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Thank you so much for sharing your cruise journey 😊 it was a joy to watch and hearing your views of the ship Your experience 😜.Hunter joy for getting her face painted. So sweetHope Jess Got her voice back fully 🙏🤞 . You guys going back to coco k in December ? An other Cruise ?. . Looking forward to your next adventures safe travels 🥰

[@flyingthenest]

yess! she rested it straight after this cruise and it came back :)

[@korahluvscandy]

I went on a cruise with my whole family and the people in the food court were my favorite washy washy

[@andreadoletzky]

my office building has the elevators like that to! except now when i go in a normal elevator, i always forget to press the button

[@user-zy8wx2uo7s]

I love you guys your videos are some of the best and that title comes from the people you guys are awesome people

[@flyingthenest]

aww youre seriously the best thank you!!

[@user-zy8wx2uo7s]

⁠@@flyingthenestI know you guys responded to everyone but my heart just beats so fast when I see the notification I might cry I have always wanted to go on a trip with you guys but my parents work really hard just to pay for our home and I’m very thankful for that but maybe when I’m a little older I can pay for it

[@Speightsworld]

THIS is the kind of tour I need before getting on a cruise ship. When you started it off with the elevators, I knew I would know the entire layout of the ship by the end. ;) Every cruise ship should hire you to do a tour so I know what I'm walking in to when booking!!

[@flyingthenest]

aww no way!! what an amazing comment thank you!!

[@kristaready8812]

I started watching you guys on FB and loved the videos so much that I subscribed to your chanel! I've hit the like button on every video since then but this is the first time I'm commenting. You are a fantastic family and deserve all the followers you have. Cheers 🤗💞

[@flyingthenest]

oh thats so cool i think youre the first person (atleast to comment about it) who has come from our Facebook page :)!!

[@kristaready8812]

I'll most likely comment on all your videos if it helps you guys out even in the smallest way 🤗💞

[@hopeheavenonplanetearth1417]

Well done! I live in Florida. And, I have taken so many cruises. I actually have lost interest, but you made me want to cruise the Icon👍

[@flyingthenest]

oh nice! you should be able to get some pretty good last minute deals!

[@krystalvalstar3282]

Yesss

[@flyingthenest]

woop woop!

[@markapuan]

I think my biggest thing about a cruise is where do i start, spend the day. Food, i would eat everything. I would definitely be at the dueling pianos every night that looked like such a vibe. A new series you say...can't wait!!

[@flyingthenest]

it honestly can be overwhelming! thankfully this cruise was a week long so you can enjoy the first half taking it as it comes and then the later half ticking thigns off you missed

[@deborahh5252]

Hey.. thx for that… where does the icon of the seas start from & end please

[@rumik-stahnke6512]

Amazing 🤗🤩👍

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@nebula7906]

Wow what an incredible ship😍 amazing video, thx🙏 I have to experience it sometime! I wanted to ask how long it takes to find out where everything is. I have a very bad sense of direction 😅

[@flyingthenest]

aww thanks so much!!

[@annieterminetschuppon7232]

I am not the kind of traveller for cruise ship but I think I will be able to do that one in consideration of the number of spaces where you can be secluded

[@flyingthenest]

yep! honestly for such a big cruise ship you can easily find some peace and quiet throughout the day

[@paulayoung4585]

You and your cute family are so lucky to have all these experiences.

[@flyingthenest]

seriously so thankful!

[@rickibelden986]

Please bring back the comments. I enjoy telling you how much I appreciate your family content. It gives me inspiration for where I dream of taking my granddaughter to see the world. I've noticed that on your newest video that comments are turned off. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed watching you all explore the world with your sweet little family. ❤❤❤❤ Much love to you and your future endeavors. ♥️👍✌️

[@jordancoveney8979]

Hi, how did you manage feeding Koa solids when he was a little younger and you were travelling? Our bub will be 9 months and wondering how to do when on the road for two months. Did he just eat what you guys had? Thanks so much!! :)

[@TheGTRacer97]

Did you know that this ship was actually built in Finland? Quite a ways away from the Caribbean! They struggled to get it to fit under one of the bridges in Denmark, but absolutely gunning the throttle made it dip slightly lower in the water, so it was able to make it 😁

[@flyingthenest]

oh wow! that manoeuvre sounds so scary what if it didnt work and boom bye bridge

[@evamosbauer2865]

Hi loved the tour just have a question where were the life boats lol that ship look massive and the food double yum and loved how children were catered for Hugs to all xo

[@flyingthenest]

umm they were there haha - near the walking track they were all around there :)

[@jparreno]

lol Hunter's face is like... Dad, look at the pancake, it's obviously chocolate chip. haha

[@jparreno]

truly an amazing ship... Hopefully one of these years i can go on this ship or another new ship that comes out. I've noticed the inaugural pricing is a bit more expensive than the previous cruises i've been on in the past. BUT FIRST i'm saving to go on a Flying the Nest expedition... hoping for 2026 =D

[@flyingthenest]

hah DER DAD

[@MusicAvi8Tr]

WOW Steve what time did you film to have the pearl to yourself! Assume o dark early!

[@flyingthenest]

haha umm between 6 and 7am

[@jlynnxxxx]

17:21 the video cuts out randomly, is it just me?

[@Shaneplays03]

Nice

[@flyingthenest]

😀

[@vd19851]

The slide is called Hurricane Hunter lol 😂

[@flyingthenest]

😂😂

[@sarah-phillips]

Hunter and I have the same face when we see cotton candy.

[@flyingthenest]

hahaha

[@theishthing]

have you guys ever required a permit for recording in places like the cruise or flights?

[@brianj819]

My guess is that they are promoting the cruise as part of an arrangement. I know they promote and use Klook travel products.

[@nicolewhite-watson9574]

[@avqlixo2614]

early 😄

[@flyingthenest]

hiii

[@teresa7775]

Tell Jess when back home to get her vocal cords checked. This happened to me many times and decided to see a doctor. There were vocal cysts on them. Had to be removed.

[@flyingthenest]

Yes we are 💙💙

[@reshvikitchen]

The ship is like a sea of happiness cruising on the seas of the world. From inside, one might wonder one's relative position: Is the world outside moving?

[@flyingthenest]

this is so true haha you can easily think youre just in your own bubble - especially when internet packages are so expensive you kinda do just stay connected to those on board

[@APH981]

Did anyone else get anxious wondering how he got his camera back after he got in the elevator etc? It seemed like jess and kids weren’t there! I started to worry so much about the camera being lost haha

[@flyingthenest]

hahaha dont you worry i did not walk very far from that elevator!! aww honestly most of this ship tour was filmed in the morning when they were snoring away! Jess said no one wants to listen to someone without a voice so i did most of the tour :)

[@NimbleNeedles]

The fact that it pays off for them to employ a guy whose only job is to make sure people wash their hands makes you lose your faith in humanity >.

[@3rin817]

Did Steven eat a hamburger? Like, a beef burger?!

[@flyingthenest]

Haha nah impossible patty

[@annecaunce]

So when do you sleep? 😂

[@flyingthenest]

When you hop off 😂

[@annecaunce]

@@flyingthenest haha, I think you're my spirit animal!!

[@paulinepaterson7392]

Your vlogs are good but why do you never let people know the cost?....especially the fact you are promoting these holidays to families, it would be helpful to know what you paid for the cruise? Or are all these trips gifted?

[@flyingthenest]

Good point Pauline it’s very hard to give prices as these are videos that are viewed today, tomorrow and in years times. We’ve done prices before on videos and then people book in a different season, week or it gets more popular so prices go up and then the same frustration you’re placing now is then placed on us in the future and onwards. Also this was paid for not gifted

[@paulinepaterson7392]

@flyingthenest I get that prices change depending on seasons etc but it's good to get a rough idea of costings for your family for this type of cruise please?

[@doinaenescu9993]

You are the richest people in the world. You are young, healthy, slim{with all that wonderfull food around}, you have two beautyfull , healthy kids , you are Australians, you have love, plenty of love and esquisite , full time vacations .I really love you !

[@JustZoha-rj7jo]

Hunter used to be the cutest but koa has definitely gained that title!

[@anni9666]

That's not fair to compare them to each other! They're both the cutest❤

[@ashleymattison1683]

Yeah, not nice to compare the kiddos!

[@daphnenvt2686]

Why can’t they both be the cutest? I always find it weird when adults compare children 😕.

[@JustZoha-rj7jo]

I’m really sorry if I offended someone I just wanted to make a little joke-love from down under❤️❤️❤️
