Hello there! Welcome to our youtube channel! We are Kate & Josh and together with our boys we love to travel the world enjoying theme parks and cruises! Join us as we look at everything from luxury travel, to budget days out!
Was great to see how good it is for little ones. Sailing with my 4 year old as a single parent in October on Sky and have been a bit worried about it but your videos have helped massively, thank you
Congratulations Josh and family, this is very exciting. I have the program set to record, looking forward to checking it out to see Icon and yourselves.
This is so sweet to watch! My mom also used to take us on cruises with her when I was younger. Because of her, I’ve come to love cruising. I’m now 17, and I still remember when my brother and I along with my mom would sail for the first time. I’ve now been on nine cruises, and I know little Oliver will always look back to these memories, and he’ll cherish them! It’s underrated to take the little kiddos along with you on the journey, but it is worth it☺️ Have fun!!
Aww thank you so much for the lovely comment! It’s amazing isn’t it cruising! We have fallen in love too and have been very lucky to experience so many already! Thank you so much 😊
Great video, thanks. We are on QA 28th July in an inside cabin and can't wait. Just one thing, on the desk , behind the room service menu it looked like another socket block. Can you confirm what sockets are there please. Really enjoyed your tour of the cabin. Bernie Lawrence
So nice to see a review of MSC World Europa by a fellow Brit 🇬🇧 We have different tastes and expectations to our American friends who seem to have made the bulk of the review videos and aren’t as relatable to me as you have been. I’m sailing September 2024 and can’t wait. Sailed Orchestra, Meraviglia, Seashore and Splendida previously and I love MSC. Your review, was really well presented and honest. New subscriber from me, keep the MSC content coming 😁👍
Ah thank you so much for the lovely comment! 🥺 We really appreciate you watching and we love making videos like this for this exact reason! World Europa was a stunning ship and we enjoyed it so much that we are sailing on her new sister next year when she launches! So more MSC content coming soon! MSC have given us some fantastic cruise memories so we love them too! Really hope you have a great time onboard, I’m sure you will. Please report back to us how you found it as we love hearing about your cruise adventures!
I read the Coffee Emporium is included in the drinks package. But not the Polo Tea place. If you buy a cup of tea, the available snacks are complimentary
Ah that’s interesting! They may have changed it as I know it’s reviewed continually! We’re sailing on her sister ship soon so will be able to find out again whether that’s the case or not!
I am booking this cabin, but I am worried that it being near restaurants on deck 8 that it could get noisy. Did you experience any problems with being on that deck?
Hi there! It was a concern of ours as well, but from memory we didn’t have any issues! I think if you were walking down the corridor you could potentially hear the occasional noise from one of the restaurants, but it was minimal and I don’t remember hearing any while in the cabin! Hope you have a fabulous cruise!
You usually have to sign a waiver but there is usually a desk near the water park area to do this! Alternatively you can often do it at guest services or the kids club area!
I was lucky enough to go Club World once & it really is a different level….first off the plane & the quick luggage return was helpful! We’re at Endless Summer again in July! Can’t wait. Have a great hols, Marcus
Hi Marcus, thank you for the lovely comment! Club world really is nice isn’t it! We love the fact you can get off super quick too, makes such a difference with things like passport control! Ah fantastic! We stayed there recently too and love it! Hope you have a fantastic time away!
Hi Audrey, thank you for the lovely comment! It’s been a busy few months with a job swap over but looking forward to getting some new videos out! The boys have been very lucky with how they’ve travelled!
Loved seeing the Aqua and the Ice Shows. Those milkshakes looked awesome, works of edible art. The Hawaiian shirts looked brilliant. You got some great free gifts from Royal Caribbean, everyday there’s a new surprise 👏 Another fantastic video.
@@coasttocoasters Our pleasure, we really enjoyed them and now can’t wait to sail on icon but probably not until next year. 👏 Might try the Halloween 🎃 sailing, once we did Oasis of the Seas at Halloween and the decorations were unbelievably amazing 🤩 Royal Caribbean know how to decorate a ship for the holidays.
Another great day & video, shame about your Chops Grill experience wasn’t better, hopefully it was teething problems on the first sailing. Central Park is gorgeous and loved seeing the pool lit up at night. 👏
Central Park is such a lovely area onboard! We really hope that was the case for chops too! Although unfortunately we seem to be hearing it’s very much a 50/50 experience across the whole royal fleet at the moment!
Great video, what a beautiful ship, love all the bright colours. So many fun things to do onboard and amazing you got to meet Rover and star in a puppet show - all this on the first day 😍🔥🛳️🐾🦴
Really excellent video, the ship looks incredible and every food venue looks so good with an amazing range of choices. The Swim up bar looked like a great place to spend the day. The ship is so big you need 2 weeks to explore and try everything out. One things for sure, you will never be hungry with all those tasty looking meals and cakes 👏
Not sure how I'm just finding this video now, but here I am. I'll NEVER tire of watching embarkation days on Virtuosa - she's always going to be one of my favourite ships, and I feel like I'm back onboard every time I see someone on here!
It’s usually pretty quick! In our previous experiences we’ve been straight on or potentially maybe 20/30 minutes from pulling up at the port to being called for boarding. It can be a bit daunting boarding day so I’d recommend making sure you have all your documents & paperwork ready as that helps the process!
Great video! I am going in summer with my 18 month old .. do you think there will be plenty to do? I know I will have to accompany him in the kids section
Thank you so much for watching! There is loads to do and the thing I was most impressed with was the activities, the variety and the staff! They do such a good job! They’ve got everywhere from themed nights, to games, music & sing alongs to generic play and all sorts! It’s a great kids club!
Great video. Can I ask, i've heard a lot of reviews saying it's a really crowded ship - how did you find it and would you mind sharing what time of year you went?
Thank you so much for watching! That’s really kind of you! I’ve heard mixed things about it in other reviews too! We have done the ship in June, August and April. In total honestly, August was a bit hectic but it was the summer holidays and to be expected. April & June though was quite pleasant! Overall it’s not too bad at all though and there’s a lot to do and keep entertained with!
Are mixers classed as free? For example, I would like a Woodford Reserve & Coke. Would that just be the $10 as per the menu or do you have to factor in the price of the mixer, which then could push it over the $13 limit of your drinks package?
Thanks for watching! I believe mixers are extra however I don’t think you pay the full price of a soft drink, I’m trying to find out for certain for you but I think in the situation you’ve said above, they’d allow you to have the mixer with that drink!
We just cruised on Sky Princess in the first week of March 2024. This was our first ever cruise, so we have nothing to compare it to but for other people's reviews of their ships. We had a fantastic time and the food was quite nice. I can't speak for the activities available for the kids but I can honestly say that as far as entertainment goes, there was so much to do and not enough time to do it partly because we were doing the shore excursions. We were in a room by the retreat pool and we really only went into that pool one time and didn't hit the main pools at all. We did enjoy another area with the hot tub at another time. I can highly recommend the food at the pool-side Salty Dog Grill and when we go again, I'm going to get there much earlier in the cruise.
Thank you so much for watching! And the lovely comment - it’s always amazing to hear stories of people’s first cruise! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, the entertainment and food for us were two highlights two! Have you booked your next cruise already?!
@@coasttocoasters No, not yet. We haven't made up our minds on what we're doing. We want to do Sky Princess Eastern Caribbean with some other friends but we're not sure they can make it at the time of the cruises.
