I will be going on my third cruise this summer. As an adult I have been able to travel to various countries and U. S. cities. I am so proud that more people especially us (Black people), can afford these types of vacations. As children our vacations were visiting relatives in other cities, and visiting free or less expensive attractions. As adults my family are able to take our children, and parents to places we could not afford growing up. Now our adult children are starting to travel within the U.S. and abroad. Hopefully, we have planted the seed of travel enough that they will do the same for their children.

I definitely agree! My first vacation was my honeymoon! That was my first time out of the country. Ever since I made it my business to do at least 2 vacations a year. Mixed in with 3-4 day close to home trips! My mom didn’t understand because she’s from that generation that believed vacations were for doing house chores. Took her on her first cruise which was Disney, now she’s going, going, going sometimes without me! Lol

Thanks for sharing a real cost, so many of us were curious! I’m just happy you’ll was able to choose to do this cruise for your family enjoyment!!! Another thing the pre cruise cost, a lot of people forget about! For four people, on the largest cruise in the world, it could have cost a lot more, at least I thought it did cost a lot more! I’m happy for you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loved this video - your girls were so excited!! It was great to meet you on Virgin in December. Icon looks great but a hard pass given the prices. You can get a week in the Haven, Retreat, Explora 1, Yacht Club or a Virgin suite for half that … and all great experiences. But I will reevaluate in a few years when prices come back to earth - looks like a great ship!

I'm still in awe over the price of this ship when compared to the rest of the Royal Carribean fleet. Even more so when compared to even Carnival's newest, biggest ships. To put things into perspective I just booked 7 staterooms (3 balcony, 4 interior) for 14 people on Carnival Mardi Gras (6-days, early summer) for $11K.
@adanugget7 ай бұрын
want o try the Mardi Gras or Celebration. However, the real question is, what rooms did you book? I would never pay it, but they booked a family/child friendly suite in that same area. Hot topic if you have kids.

If you can afford it- go for it. I am all for family travel. My kids being 11 and 13 though I just don't think its worth it. They flat-out told me they would rather go to Alaska. So we are going Aug 2025 for my son's 13th birthday. I booked to conceive balcony rooms (Celebrity). My package included wifi and drinks. It is just under 14,000. But we go on trips maybe 2 times a year (by plane) and maybe 1 more to the NJ shore.

Hey guys. Happy Sunday. Ok. You setting me up for a crazy comment. 😂. I’ve been good. Reigns enthusiasm. The girls screaming on stateroom entry. Love how you’re showing the cost. Yes. Unfortunately Starbucks never included on any ship. Oh. A cost for kid camp? Oh. I get it. That was your cost for extended hours over the 7 nights. We Always get the photo package. It’s great compared to buying per pic. I mean $179.99 for all pics? Let’s go. Yessss. Celebration table. Arcade $100 but the screen said $79.98 🤷🏻♀️The supper club 🙌🏼. Playmaker’s 🙌🏼. Oh. Didn’t know Cococay had other excursions such as swimming with the pigs. Amazing ending with Izumi hibachi for Reihns birthday. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗🤎🛳️.
