Y'all got me tearing up!! I'm so glad mama Karen enjoyed herself!! You can tell she deserved a get away!! That first experience of the ocean is breathtaking!! I'm still in awe every single time! Glad y'all could give that to her!

Yep, the voiceover with Karen’s first experience in the ocean caused a cry. I lost my mom 9 years ago and one of the reasons I travel and cruise is to live the life my mom couldn’t. Love and miss you ma. Great job taking Karen on her first cruise to have that moment with her daughter 💙

I can relate to this so much. I’m 31 and my mom took her first flight last year with me and she was 71. She’s going on her first cruise in a few weeks and it will be her first time out of the country. It’s such a great feeling to see my mom experience the world. I absolutely love this vlog and your channel. Keep making real and beautiful content.

Ok . This video was amazing 🤩. Just the way you have narrated it when Mama Karen and Christina went into the water , was beautiful. I started bawling my eyes out as it reminded me of the time I went to Jamaica with my mum 30 years ago . My mum is Jamaican born , but came to Australia the year before I was born in 1971. I had the pleasure of doing a mother daughter trip with her to visit her birth place back in 1994! My mum unfortunately passed away back in 2021, but I’ll be doing a mother daughter trip with my own daughter to the US and Canada this year . We had hoped to also go to Jamaica as well , but couldn’t fit it in . So thank you for your video and reminding me of how special it is to make memories like this with our mothers and daughters ❤

I'm glad momma Karen enjoyed herself. I know I could never go on that ship! I hope she gets to go on another cruise to see how they really are. So much to look forward to for her. Christina really is such a good daughter to want to show her mom a good and relaxing time.
@tanyadeejones9965 ай бұрын
I don’t know what it was about showing Mama Karen’s feet and swim in the ocean water for the first time and then followed-up with your voice over and pics of her and her daughter but I was moved and tearing but it did! I literally cried when her feet went in the water! 😢 I am so glad Christina was able to make it happen for her mama!

The islander is so much better if you want to try it. Get the Grand Corner balcony suite and take Karen. Your piece earlier warmed my heart. God Bless all of you. So glad Karen got to see, swim, and taste the ocean. Be well y’all. ❤
