Just thought about how much I adore traveling with my daughter. The two of us are so compatible on trips, mostly been college search and esp Disney til now, which my husband and son feel happy skipping. Now I’m 59 and she’s just 22. I’m retiring this summer, and she’sstarting out on her life plans/goals, so she’s going to be so busy. I hope as time goes on we can organize this type of trip occasionally, what a true pleasure that would be.

[@TerriR1818]

OMG! I would love to see you and your mom get “rowdy”! The interaction between the two of you is just so comical and I love all your facial expressions. 💖

[@disneyjulesjewels]

Jen, your mom is sooooo cute! What a wonderful vacation for you both! I want to go on this cruise! Love your videos and channels! Brings a smile to my face! My 10 year old daughter and I love to travel together too. 💕

[@erics607]

Only issue you would have is that your daughter wouldn't be allowed on this cruise line. You specifically have to be 18 years or older which may suck for families, but it also creates a lot quieter and relaxing experience. I would say that the average age of people on these cruises are about 60 years old.

[@anthonyhatch408]

I love Viking! We went on Viking River Cruise for the Christmas Markets! It was the most magical thing I have ever done. We are trying Viking Ocean next year!!!

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

You will LOVE it, Anthony! We haven’t done the River cruises yet but have heard great things.

[@anthonyhatch408]

Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge they are incredible! I am pure magical adventures. My accounts are weird. Just thought I would let you know. I want to do the Australia and New Zealand Cruise!

[@kaseydarr1852]

How did I miss this video til now? Good grief! Great video. Your mom is quite the hoot! You must have had quite the time! Iam looking firward to watching the rest of the trip, as always :-)

[@aimeemoore5509]

Good video. I love the fact you and your mom are on this trip together.

[@karamarie6878]

You are even funnier with your mom! The food looked delicious and I'm thrilled for your mom that her feet touched the floor- that's a big deal for so many people!!

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

She was so excited!! That became HER chair for the rest of the cruise.🤣🥰

[@MsToady]

So lovely! Your mom is so sweet and honest (the look on her face after trying your drink!). Thanks for sharing!

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Yeah she’s a very honest person!🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰

[@kirrieholden4794]

That sailaway view was breathtaking! I, like your mother mother, am vertically challenged. My feet don't touch floor even when I'm in my own desk chair at work, so I can totally relate to her excite over the chair.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

She was thrilled!! I’m sure that’s got to get frustrating! 🤣🥰🥰🥰

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

That spa is calling my name!!!

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

If they had apartments there i would have moved in.

[@stephaniejacobs7659]

It looks like you and your mom had an amazing time! Love seeing her on camera 😊

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

[@krosa2471]

I just love seeing you and your mom interact. Y'all have an amazing relationship. Reminds me of me and my mom.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

I am very blessed to have her!!

[@marypruitt6312]

[@sandywysocki9588]

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

It really was!! I ended up in there almost every day!

[@corriezoetewey7860]

So fun!

[@laurasenften6934]

It is so sweet that you still always have this footage with your mom! Does she watch your channel? And your music is on point!

[@dawnturpin]

Your mom is awesome and I love the two of you on camera together.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Thanks, Dawn!! She’s definitely a natural on camera.🥰

[@erics607]

Looks like you two had an amazing trip! I cruised with Viking for my first ever cruise last January to Cuba and it was phenomenal. Not sure if I could go on another cruise line with how beautiful, relaxing, and accommodating the cruise was.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Seriously what have they done to us, Eric?!?!🤣🤣🥰

[@majorhollingshead5906]

Beautiful ship. 😘❤️

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

It absolutely is!!

[@1DawnMarie1]

What an excellent thumbnail! I love seeing you two together, I hope my daughter is taking me around the world exploring when I’m 80.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Seriously I hope my sons do that as well!! It’s actually a perfect time for both of us and we hope to do a lot more adventures together.🥰

[@cindyellacott102]

I'm more convinced every vlog that this is the adventure I need. Rum is my favourite thing...lol

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Cindy just wait.....so much rum!!!🤣🥰

[@cwdefouw]

Man, allergic to rum, what a bummer. Beautiful scenery. Old San Juan is nice but the cobblestones are difficult to walk on.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

I ended up doing some rum punch later and I’m ok with one but more than that I get a headache that literally lasts me for a couple of days. It’s not fun.

[@wolfsonryan]

Omg that happened to us on our Rome excursion. Said level 2. My mom couldn’t do it. We walked 6 miles!! What!?!? It should have been a level 5. Love the specialty included coffees! Yay! So fun!

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

That was really my only feedback about the excursions. There were a couple like that and we made it work but they really should consider older folks more and give more detailed info maybe??

[@wolfsonryan]

Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge I agree 100%. Ours was on NCL. They really should have a rep from the cruise line go on all the excursions offered and report it within the excursion descriptions.

[@erics607]

@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge did you do the Port Talk or whatever it is called? The person who gives them tells you about what to expect on your excursions. The guy we had told us that he personally wouldn't go on the Bay of Pigs museum tour because it only takes about 25 minutes to go through the whole museum, but that there are some people who love it because they love that topic. He told people that scheduled that tour, were more than welcome to go down to the excursion center and change their excursion if they wished to do so.

[@disneytraveler6823]

So you got on the day before and stayed in San Juan over night? That is a great idea. It would make for a much more chilled boarding day.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Yes and yes! No stress about flights or travel delays. I loved that part.

[@serenaknitsandpurls]

I so agree with that face when it comes to Campari.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Lol she was having nothing of that!🤣🥰

[@serenaknitsandpurls]

Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge 🤣🤣🤣

[@katherinedaniel2684]

The ship is beautiful. On your instagram the crowd looked a little older. We are in our 50’s. Do you think we would enjoy a Viking cruise? Was the food good? Love your channel! Can’t wait to see more.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

It’s older than a Disney Cruise crowd for sure but we met people of all ages! I also think since they are typically longer it’s a lot of retirees. Thanks for watching, Katherine!

[@erics607]

I would say the average age is about 60, but I am 30 and I loved the cruise. If you like the casino's, entertainment, and all of the other flashy stuff that you get with Royal Caribbean and other ships, you probably won't like Viking. With Viking it's all about education, relaxation, and quality of your experience. All of the food is exceptional, the excursions are very informative and you get to do excursions that other cruises don't get to do because they're focus is more on having fun. For example when I went to Cuba last January, Viking is not allowed to dock in Havana because of how small the ship is. We had to dock in 2 cities on the southern part of the country, and then drive all the way to Havana. The drive sucked, but we got to see things that most of the people from other cruises would never get to see. Also your room steward will have your name memorized within about 6 hours of you being on board, and a lot of the waiters or other staff will remember your names if you see them quite a bit.

[@dreemkin2448]

Do you think you paid for all those extras in the price of the cruise or was is reasonably priced?

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

The cruise was around 6k including airfare for both of us for 10 nights. So you definitely pay more up front.

[@sarairvine9622]

“OK! Next time I make it I’ll have to remember that!” 😂😂 Hey, if you want to make Baileys, I’m your girl! (That’s my maiden name.)

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Wow that’s awesome!! But don’t make it at home or you’ll go blind.

[@sarairvine9622]

Really, my heart breaks for you rum allergy!!😔

[@kristinmishler5244]

ummm I love your mom!

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

She’s the best!!!

[@mahemphill93]

You’re allergic to rum?! How do you live?! I guess by not drinking rum. I’ll delete this comment, I answered my own question.

[@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge]

Bwahahaha so i can have a little bit but more than that and I get a very bad headache that lasts for days. But tequila and I are fine so I make do.🤣

[@mahemphill93]

Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge OH THANK GOD. 🙌🏼
