  • Hi Guys, in today's vlog we were invited to spend a day on Royal Caribbean's new ship the 'Independence of the Seas'. I thought I would give you a look at what a cruise ship is really like and what it can offer kids and families.

    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

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

    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

    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

    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

    • @mrsemilynorris
      @mrsemilynorris  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    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?

  • @11olga10
    @11olga10 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!
