@@SchoonerBears sounds excellent will be our first crossing.. i think for us its 4 days or 5 once we leave the Hawaii stuff. First 3 days are around the islands.
Thanks for the vlog. Heading on the Gem for two weeks over the holiday with my wife and kids. Nice to see that they start having entertainment the first day. Was wondering how many show options they would have on a smaller/older ship. Good editing and video/sound quality as well. Looking forward to the rest of the trip.
@@israelcunningham9141 thank you so much for the encouraging comment!!! And thanks for watching. I’m sure you and your family will have a blast!!! Let us know how it goes.
Looking forward to watching this!! I’m about 30 minutes west of Boston so this would be super convenient for us. (Our first cruise is Symphony next May)
@@AmandaLanderwe love Symphony! I had a fantastic time checking out Boston, there will be more in Boston on the last episode of the series. So stay tuned.
You'd be glad that just now I’ve liked your RU-vid Channel. Cos, your content was really awesome. But unfortunately, there are not much views and subscribers. I noticed that your video SEO score is too weak according to your needs. Because of that, your video is not reaching your target audience. You will be glad to hear that I can help you increase your SEO score so that it is top on the first page of RU-vid which will increase your subscribers and views organically. So, if you want to do this, I await your response.
Looks like you had a great day! We are going on our first cruise next May on Symphony! My girls will be 11 & 9 then. Curious if you do the refreshment package for the kids? I didn’t think of it before but I noticed there are options for frozen drinks ( mocktails) they would probably love!
@@AmandaLander thanks for watching!!! We do get them the refreshment package. I make sure to try to get it when they have a discount of at least 30%, and better if it’s 35%😂. After I buy it I still check about once a week because if you see it for a lower price you can cancel your order and reorder it at the lower price! Our kiddos love the mocktails, especially the virgin Miami Vice!
@@SchoonerBears Thank you! I have been keeping my eye out for deals. I figured it’s easier to just have it all paid for ahead of time and then no stress of seeing a bill at the end of the trip 😂 my husband and I are definitely getting the Deluxe package so the kids deserve a treat too! ☺️
@@AmandaLander it’s a vacation, right! A lil’ splurge. Besides, it’s not just the mocktails. It’s juice at breakfast, bottles of water, kids coffee (decaf of course). My kids certainly drink their monies worth😂
We're a family of five as well. I'm curious to know how you are booking your cruises? I've never been able to do it online unless it's four passengers. Are you booking with the cruise companies direct?
Hey! Thanks for the comment and for watching! We do book directly through Royal Caribbean by calling when we have been all 5 in one room. There are only certain rooms that fit 5 and you can’t do it online. This next cruise we take with all of us in the fall, we booked two rooms and could book those online. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@whatsitlike6392 I’ll add that this was just four of us (dad and three littles) in the ocean view balcony room so we just did the normal online booking.
