I’m a first officer for royal Caribbean international and honestly think it’s the best job ever. Since having kids, I miss them so much when I’m away but ever school holiday they get there on the ship and completely love it. I speak to family’s everyday and they all love cruises. Indy’s a great ship, great size and lovely staff. Xx
I lived on-board the independence for 2 years as I was the Activities Manager on-board! I met my now husband on there and are looking to take our 4 year old on-board hopefully next year :) its so lovely to see the beautiful Indy in your vlog, I'm glad you and your family had a great day ! Xx
My favourite ship!! We will be on the Independence this October! ♥️♥️ I totally agree - cruising is the best with kids!! My boys love the children’s club!
I’ve never been in a cruise because I get motion sick very easy, but now you got me thinking when you said that you could go several places with your kids without having to pack and unpack 100 times
Emily i have been watching your videos non stop since I was first pregnant! Now my baby is nearly 6 months and we are going on this very ship in October for our first family holiday for two weeks. I love the content of your videos! Keep being amazing! x
Cruises aren't normally my cup of tea but I'm warming up to the idea. Now I'm trying to persuade my other half to go on a cruise with my 2 little ones!
Hiya to you all Scotland calling what a fantastic day out looked brilliant pooled for choice nice to see Katie and her family take care and god bless xx
Awww Emily how nice ! I’m loving these vacation vlogs 😍💕 ! Enjoy enjoy enjoy !!!!!!! . I can’t wait to go with my boys on a mini vacation soon when I take a break from work .
so fun watching this as I went on the independence back in 2010! Was such an amazing holiday, it’s been refurbished so much now😍 lovely video as usual Emily 💖x
I don't have kids, nor plan to in the near future, but ive watched all your videos, including the breastfeeding help and what not to buy for babies. Your family is beautiful and you make me want some of my own!
Ah I went to the same ship for a blogger/TH-camr day a few weeks after you - gutted we weren't there at the same time, as I'd loved to have met you! Looks like you all had a brilliant day though - it's an awesome ship isn't it?! xx
I went twice with my son and my sisters family and her kids to the VIKINGS cruise from stockholm to FInalnd. it was amazing. it was super good and kids so loved it.we had full board and theres play area + so much to do even for us as a couple. loved your video and thanks for showing us.
Nice family I love all ur videos keep it up I’m enjoying watching it ur a great mom I want to be like you I’m a teenage mom! Love from San Diego California
Lovely vlog as always, didn't realise there was so much to do on a cruise ship... It looked HUGE!! Don't know how u manage 3 boys do easily. I have one (around 3.5) and its challenging on most days 😂
Omg this looks amazing , we have been looking at booking a cruise for next year I have a 1 year old daughter and she will love this .. will definitely check this out .. thank you 👍🙌
Dear Emily, I adore your channel and it helps me very much to be a better mom! Looking at your boys' sweet relationship (they are always huging, kissing, helping each other) i always wonder: though they have quiet small age gap how to avoid kids jealouse? Did you do something for it or it just came naturally? Is there any situations when they need your attention at the same time? As a mum how to share the time between them so that everyone is happy (and we know that babies need more time than elder ones). What do you think is the key to this kind of relationship when brothers are more like friends but not competitors? Thank you!
I really want to go on a cruise, I use a wheelchair constantly end have 3 young kids (same age as yours Emily) and I just think a cruise holiday would be so accessible. Were there any good facilities you're aware of? Xx
Great question! Two of my cousins use wheelchairs so I know how important this is. The ship does have accessible rooms and bathrooms. This is their accessibility Q and A document link: www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/topics/accessibility-disability-needs I hope this helps!
Emily Norris thank you ! I have already seen all the flight videos multiple times 😉😀 was just wondering how do you manage Jackson's tantrums on flight or more specifically how do you let him sit on lap for long interval?
Thanks for sharing this emily. We actually almost booked a trip with this ship before we booked for the navigator of the seas. This boat looks like there is more to do for kids. Weve been wanting to see what this boat has to offer for a future trip awau. It looks amazing. When are you cruising again?
It looks amazing!! If you don’t mind me asking, what car do you have? I was wondering this because I realised you must have a 7 seater when I couldn’t see Fraiser. We’re looking for a 7 seater car x
The best thing about our most recent holiday was that it was in the same time zone. The boys are quite flexible but the time zone changes can be hard! xx
Looks fab! Just a bit concerned about the V.R trampolines though, we have a V.R head set and it is not recommended for children under 12 yrs old! Apart from that it looks totally amazing!x
Emily Norris sure it is...I have watched videos here in TH-cam for it...it's really huge!!!thank you for your comment dear Emily!!!looking forward for your new video!!!always something new to watch!!!
We usually go full or half board with the kids so we don't have to worry about it - with that almost all their needs are met (except for the occasional sweet shop visit)! xx
I've just got off this ship! Did 8nights round the Norwegian Fjords - Absolutely loved it! This was my third cruise with Royal Caribbean and I refuse to venture else where 🙈 #LoyaltoRoyal

All I kept saying in my head when you were trying to find laser tag was “deck 3, deck 3” 😂

Love how kid-friendly this ship is! My four boys would love it! My twins would die for that surf pool! How fun!
It was really incredible - so much for families! xx
I’ve never been in a cruise because I get motion sick very easy, but now you got me thinking when you said that you could go several places with your kids without having to pack and unpack 100 times
Thank you !
Katie walked behind you (out of the lift)when you were talking to us at the start
Love watching your day in the life! Your boys are all adorable!

Emily Norris thank you for responding love u
Emily Norris that good
Hi emily i am sixth great video the boys looked so cute and can you do another day in the life but matt does everything
LOL I'll ask him Kayleigh! xx
Hi emily thanks for your reply
I really want to go on a cruise, I use a wheelchair constantly end have 3 young kids (same age as yours Emily) and I just think a cruise holiday would be so accessible. Were there any good facilities you're aware of? Xx

Looks like a fab ship... if only I had sea legs! 😂 Matt is hilarious he needs to do another daddy vlog soon Emily. X
LOL I'll tell him - thank you for watching! xx
Hi Emily!
Lovely vlog!!! 😍
Can you please share some tips on entertaining Jackson on flight ? Xoxo 😘
Hi Kiran - great question! This might help - what I packed in the kids carry-on bags: th-cam.com/video/9RVUJRwkNrE/w-d-xo.html
Emily Norris thank you ! I have already seen all the flight videos multiple times 😉😀 was just wondering how do you manage Jackson's tantrums on flight or more specifically how do you let him sit on lap for long interval?
I love your channel
Thank you so much! xx
Looks awesome for the kids, did you find the laser tag in the end?? :D
Hi Emily. Your boys are SO cute. Little Jackson is adorable! Do the boys ever fight with each other?? I'm always referee between my 6 and 4 year old🙈
They do have their disagreements for sure and I always make sure they apologise to each other. Thanks for watching! xx
Thanks for sharing this emily. We actually almost booked a trip with this ship before we booked for the navigator of the seas. This boat looks like there is more to do for kids.

Looks amazing! I'm wondering whether there are enough activities suited to a 3 year old or if we should wait a year or two.. hmm!
hi Emily . nice video as always. thanks
I love cruising but am worried about my 1 year old falling off!! Also, how do you go with not having a bath?
How do your kids recover from vacation? I'd love to know your tips!
The best thing about our most recent holiday was that it was in the same time zone. The boys are quite flexible but the time zone changes can be hard! xx
Looks fab! Just a bit concerned about the V.R trampolines though, we have a V.R head set and it is not recommended for children under 12 yrs old! Apart from that it looks totally amazing!x
Thank you so much for watching! xx
I thought the same. We have them at work and they aren't risk assessed for kids so we only give them to teens and adults.
Are you hanging with Katie Ellison and fam? LOVE THAT! Adore both of your channels and just think it is so darn sweet you are friends IRL.
Yes! We're good friends and the kids get along really well too, which is an added bonus. xx
This ship I think is in the top 5 biggest ships in the world...
That wouldn't surprise me - it was truly amazing. xx
Emily Norris sure it is...I have watched videos here in TH-cam for it...it's really huge!!!thank you for your comment dear Emily!!!looking forward for your new video!!!always something new to watch!!!
Nice video 👍
Buy guys lol matt is so funny
6th !!! +19 like !! You are amazing xx
Thank you so much for watching! xx
Your welcome. You are the best TH-camr ever ❤️❤️❤️
Oh that should say spoiled for choice typo lol been a long day xx
Hi Emily! Where did you get your dress?
Hiya! It's from Zara: Zara Dress: www.zara.com/uk/en/striped-off-the-shoulder-dress-p04387031.html?v1=6101527&v2=719020
I was so confused! 😂 For 59 seconds, I was like "hey, that resort looks like a cruise ship!!" Clearly I can't read 🙈
How are the prices on board the ship ? I always assumed they will be expensive ?
We usually go full or half board with the kids so we don't have to worry about it - with that almost all their needs are met (except for the occasional sweet shop visit)! xx
I've just got off this ship! Did 8nights round the Norwegian Fjords - Absolutely loved it! This was my third cruise with Royal Caribbean and I refuse to venture else where 🙈 #LoyaltoRoyal
OMGoodness that's amazing! Sounds like you had a fantastic time. xx
💙💙💙💙
Emily can you do a sick kid routine. Of where your kids are sick and what you do
Where is this dress from Emily?
Hi Laura - it's from Zara. xx
Thanks!
It is my dream to meat you !
