Boarding Carnival Mardi Gras | Cruising with kids! | Inaugural Sailing! 

I know Reign did not say “my favorite” 😭 She almost jumped out of her skin on Carnival Breeze when she saw that towel animal. Hilarious🤣

It’s good to see how kids are cruising. None of my other vloggers are showing cruising with kids.

Great video! Traveling with children can be difficult at times, but it is also extremely rewarding and it enriches their lives. My parents did it with my brother and me and we did it with ours. I had to tell my daughter when she was young that she was blessed to be traveling...believe me they grow up and appreciate the adventures they had as children. Now that my daughter is grown, traveling has become one of her favorite hobbies and I'm sure that when she has children she will continue the tradition.

SO PROFESSIONAL, REAL, HONEST & DOWN TO EARTH.. I love how you take us with you every step of the way..Everything in real-time as you experience it. You both look fabulous in your black & white at the end of the video and I can't wait to see more 💛

WOW!! That had to be exciting to experience being on a new ship first guess on board.

Just re-living our excitement through yalls first day excitement.

I’m so glad I found y’all vlog! I’m relating to you Jazzy! Lol I’m originally from NY, married, two girls, and love a good cruise! We took our first two cruises with our kids. Carnival Conquest my oldest was 6. Carnival Horizon my oldest was 8 and the baby was 13 months. Needless to say that one had a few meltdowns. We are taking our first cruise April 2022 with no kids! The oldest was mad and I had to have the “Rich conversation” with her. I told her that she’s the most well traveled 10 yr old I ever met. She’s been traveling since 5 month old. My husband and I can’t wait for our first cruise post pandemic. I wish I would have saw your vlog on the Scarlet Lady before we booked with Carnival again but we WILL be getting on a Virgin Voyage next! Thanks for your content, transparency, and just being real!

I really hope y’all see this comment. I just want to say I truly appreciate this content with Kids. I’m hoping to branch out to do some videos soon on my channel. I have a 5 month old. We are going to book for later this year. She’ll just be turning one at that time. I am on the hunt for help for cruising with kids because my husband & all our friends are bringing our kids and 3 of them including mine will be one years old. So I’m so grateful for this experience I’ll have with my friends & the kiddos, but I want it to be special since we were so use to couples vacations & now we have to figure out vacation with kids while having fun. Thank you thank you for this content. I am excited to cruise with my baby!

I really enjoyed your video. I cruised for the 1st time with a wedding party in 2018 and had such an amazing experience. Carnival Vista made me fall in love with cruising. I'm looking forward to my next cruise being with my 13 year old daughter. It will be her 1st time cruising and I would love for it to be on the Mardi Gras Ship. Thank you for being so transparent and sharing the not so great moments with us at the end. It was refreshing!

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VLOG JUST MAKES ME HAPPY!!!! I was cheesin so hard you would think I was 4 and 5 yrs old!! I cant wait to board my ship!!! #cruisingisback!!! I am here for it!!! Can't wait til the next vlog!!!

Loved the vlog! How awesome to be amongst the first guests on board! Rich and Jasmine, thank you for being so transparent about what it’s like to travel with kids. I had to have the same conversation with my son about appreciating our blessings when we were at Disney last week. It’s hard to make them understand that the things they’ve experienced aren’t the norm for kids their age when they’ve been traveling their whole lives. Juggling two kids while boarding a cruise ship, vlogging, and going live at the same time…hats off to you!! You guys handle it so well and I’m sure Reign and Royce will look back at these vlogs and appreciate these experiences one day.

I met a lovely person called Jazzy just when on the very day I was thinking how many cool kids seem to have x and zs in their names these days. The universe always brings you evidence of what you believe. 💖

I know you all must have missed cruising and I am so happy that you were able to sail again. You look like you had a wonderful time!

I’m so glad you met some of your subscribers & are encouraged to continue with RU-vid. The girls, just like everyone else had a moment, but I hope everyone the Cruise. Stay safe, & continue to be Blessed ✝️❤️✝️

You two look so beautiful....Jazz your makeup is on point. The kids wont really appreciate what they are getting quite yet but one day they will ...so wonderful that you get to bless them with this wonderful life. I am enjoying your enjoyment. Love to you.

Your girls are absolutely precious! Their excitement as they saw the bunk beds, lol!!🤗🤗🥰

Thank you so much for being transparent with cruising with kids. It's tough sometimes but they are getting so many experiences that they will remember their entire life.

This is my first time seeing this channel and I just say, Dad is entertaining. 😂 Mom is great! You both make an amazing couple! I love how you two complement each other.

What a great looking ship! I give you both a lot of credit traveling with children, it sure isn't always easy, but you're making such wonderful memories together. Your children are adorable. Im enjoying your cruise and im looking forward to the rest of the trip!

I love how Reign plans the day😁 everything looks awesome. Enjoy your vacation and say hello to Autum and her mom.

I discovered you guys last night when searching for the Mardi Gras. I am sailing on the Carnival Celebration in February 2023. I was just checking out the Mardi Gras to have an idea of what to expect on Celebration. I am glad I found your vlog. It is honest and not overly critical. A real person's point of view. What a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

That's one of the reasons why I love your channel. Your transparency!! I'm looking forward for more of the cruise. Thank you again!! Kids are just little people. We all have been kids. That's life!! God bless!!

The girls are just tired from traveling. AK Adventures mentioned you and so glad you got to meet them. My late father took 8 kids on road trip. Usually to grandma's house in Tunica Mississippi outside Memphis where I live. But it was the memories so you girls will appreciate that as they grow older. Love you guys.

Can’t wait I will be sailing on her this September!! She is so BEAUTIFUL!!! Cruise number 8 hurry up!!

Thanks for taking the time to vlog on your cruise. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of this series!

Really enjoyed the First sailing from the Mardi Gras.Rich Jazz y’all are the best parents.Reign and Royce are truly Blessed😘💙😋💗💗💗

Glad to see other new yorkers enjoying time with family on a cruise. We are from western ny state. And what caught ny attention on this video is what Rich said. That you both are teaching the girls about life and what they have is a blessing. I try to teach my kids the same although 3 are now teens and oyt of the house i still got an 11 yr old at home and teach him the life styles and cultures of different countries and ethnic backgrounds. We are all the same wheather different in skin but we all are one human race.

I love all the experiences you'll allow me to have full through your experiences of these amazing adventures, love it.

Thank you so very much for chronicling your trip. I am scheduled for a cruise in about 4 mos. and this gives me idea of what I will experience.

Loved the video. Enjoyed it a lot.

Love watching Ya!! what a beautiful Family, and your little people have me cracking up!!! I was done when Reign said that my favorite after just watching her scared of them towels.

Oh I absolutely remember when Reign was afraid of towel animals. And I also remember who helped Reign get over her fear of towel animals!😂😍🥰😘😂

Rich & Jazzy I know you had a wonderful week on the Mardi Gras cruise ship. Reign & Royce are both sweet little girls enjoying themselves. I can't wait to cruise again by early next year. Reign made me laugh when she said the towel animals were her favorite. I know they appreciate everything that you do for both of them. 🚢🏊😇😋.

Nice family Cruiseship remind me of an updated Breeze. Carnival Breeze 7 yrs ago Time for me to cruise again. I had teens when I went on the cruise.

Yes! Cruising with one kid (us) is hard so I can't imagine multiple. Much love and respect. First time watching you today. Very nice!!! ❤❤

The kids is having lots of fun on the ship.love

Re-watching to prepare for my cruise in the Mardi Gras with my family this summer 😊🎉. Awesome content ❤

Just found your channel from AK Adventures. This is the first video I've watched and I love how you keep it real! We cruised with our kids when they were little and as they were growing up, and they love traveling/cruising as adults. You're making great informative videos! Looking forward to watching more of your content.

I like watching the two of you and there is one other couple I love to watch .

You guys are a beautiful family. I’m glad I found you through AK Adventures. Great video!

Hi you 4, great clip, thanks for sharing, very informative and very usefull for our comming up cruises

I clicked on this vlog so fast! Cruising is back!

Reign say what? 👀. I am shook! We're liking towel animals now? Loving these little food stations. Oh my gosh we've had the same conversation with our Daughter. We want her to see the world but also appreciate it as well. Yes totally appreciate your transparency. Thank you for the details on the test for the kids. So glad you'll discuss this more. Haven't seen anyone else discuss the process for the kids. Thank you guys. God Bless!

Hi I'm a new subscriber I would love to see your contents and everything thank that you Do and God-bless

Congratulations! So proud of you all! Stay safe and ENJOY! Looking forward to Day 2! Much Love!

Enjoyed your vlog. Your family is beautiful. I took my daughter on her first cruise 8 yrs old. She was a very pickey eater. I thought she would starve. I've taken her on 5 cruises. When she reach 19 yrs old. I told her all future cruises she would have to pay her way. She's now 36 yrs old and haven't gone on one after that. Her reason, she has been to many ports. I'm Platinum on Carnival so that's how many she missed.

This ship looks really fun!!

Beautiful.. thank you, can't wait to go sailing again. God bless your beautiful family.

Beautiful cruise ship 🚢 I enjoy every minute of it.

I have no idea why I am not subscribed, I have seen so many of your vlogs, but I took care of that lol. Your baby girl's are the cutest. Hey you think those babies were just tired when they were crying. Traveling is a lot for children.

Hello could you guys do a video on how you prepare for travel with small children. How to cruise during this current climate with children?

What a beautiful family 😂😆💓 totally loved watching y'all 😍🙏 I truly loved Al of y'all black attire it was do smart, elligance at it's best. I preferred you in the Black soxy gown more than that red gown

We cruised with you guys and did the B2B. Awesome ship

You're girls are too cute! Thanks for sharing your vacations with us!

Thank you for sharing this with us. I am so excited. We had to postpone during the height of the pandemic, but we are now booked for April 2022. Beautiful family...

111 in the views! Angel numbers are always a lovely sign! Make a wish! 💖🦋✨

It is a challenge with kids to travel, we made many travel vacations with our 5 kids...driving, flying and train. Never a cruise, we didnt do that until alter in life. But yes, your girls are so lucky to be going on a ship, they are really good girls, Enjoy !!! Take lots of pictures.

So ready to see your perspective plus how it is traveling with the kids during this time on the ship. We've been on the fence because things are ever changing. We want to travel as a family. Ok let's see.

New subscriber to your channel. I watched this video because I wanted to see what it was like cruising with children now. I rely heavily on youtube when planning travel for my family. I really appreciated the end of this video when you spoke about your children needing to appreciate things. My husband and I have this talk with our children ALL THE TIME. I think, like you two, because we did not have these same opportunities growing up we try to compensate and make sure our children are afforded things we weren't. I totally understand because it can sometimes be challenging for us as well.

Nice video. Your kids are so cute! Gonna be on Mardi Gras for Halloween!

i have a two year old and a teenager lol I am contemplating a a cruise for the holiday but my toddler, is definitely giving me pause, thanks for sharing your experience

Just found your channel and been watching your videos!! CanI just say….. I absolutely love you guys lol

I absolutely love you guys!!! I love how open you guys are! I have rescheduled our Mardi Gra cruise for 3 years now and now can’t wait to get in any ship! You guys have convinced me to book another one sooner! Thank you for the great content! Keep it up! Tfs

Beautiful/ lovely parents!!! It's awesome how u explain to them👍👍👍

It is so true. I am in my early 50's and have never been on a cruise. Well, I did a day cruise, but that really doesn't count 🙂

I remember taking my first cruise at 8 years old!! Keep the babies cruising girl. I am now 23 years old and just got off my 5th cruise last week and will be on my 6th for my 24th bday! I would say that cruising at a very young age I wasn’t able to remember much but once I got older I cruised to the same places so that I could remake those memories! Carnival is amazing!

OMG, I can't wait. I'm sailing next year on the Mardi Gras in June 2022. The cruise was almost booked up when I went to purchase the ticket.

we just got back from the cruise last week. we already planning our next one in december. We are doing the Royal Carribean this time for christmas time frame. i cant wait

Wow guys loving the room and your well stocked up rich the ship is beautiful

So glad you guys can set sail again! I cannot wait to book my first ever cruise hopefully soon :)

I needed this. Thank you! Im cruising the Mardi Gras sept 4th with children.

You all are great parents and I was married to someone in the military and you must set perimeters. You are doing it right.

This is our channel, this is our content, this is what we want to see :-)

Thanks for showing this aspect of cruising with the kids. We’re booked for next summer on the Carnival Celebration, traveling with 12 and 10yr old. So informative. Big up Trini🇹🇹

Beautiful family thanks for sharing

Thank you guys for that information

I love this video.. I was wandering was the room crowded with you 4 in the room.

Best part for me was listening about your one on one with the kids.. We have never been on a Cruise.. but we really want to. Our son is 9.. and we started to travel with him at 7 but then Covid came.. but we have a lot of things we want to do with him.. Just need the USA/Canada border to open for us Canadians. We will try Alaska as our first when we can leave from Vancouver.. Disney is or goal.. Thank you for sharing your experience.
