The ‘Norwegian Epic’ is an interesting example (the second biggest class of ship in the world when she entered service in 2010): As you can see from the image above, there is not even much of a sea view from her promenade deck. It is purely designed for lifeboat access. Epic has a central Atrium, with a very large video screen as its centrepiece, but very few windows. Ironically this screen often shows views of beautiful landscapes around the world. Passengers often sit, relax and watch it. On this ship, ‘virtual reality’ obviously takes precedent over the natural beauty of the seas and any land outside the ship. NCL’s innovative ‘Breakaway’ and ‘Breakaway+’ class ship improve upon ‘Epic’s’ somewhat internally focussed design. Both classes have a large promenade deck, lined with restaurant and bars etc. called ‘The Waterfront’.
Oscar's exuberance is infectious. So fun to remember how it was to see the world through hungry eyes. He obviously basks in the loving attention of his uncles and the memories for him will be lifelong.
Props to you all for showing the positive love between “guys” and their families and for including Steph in your adventures. Thanks for sharing part of your vacation and of course the star of the video, Oscar.
Oscar is hilarious. My kids are all but grown up, and I have forgotten that unexplainable energy. Personally, I rather like the more casual video like this. While I think your normal videos are VERY professional and informative, it's nice to just see the fam and having a good time.
This was a genuinely great episode & Oscar is such a vibrant energetic little man. Ben & David Australia is calling for you both to come visit and cruise..
Welcome to the West coast! Thank you for showing the reality of Ensenada--we've never been. Oscar is such a handsome little man, so sweet to see that adoration he has for his uncles. Family and friends are the most important parts of our lives.
Lol! I don't know where kids get all their energy from. 10 minutes in and I'm drained just from watching Oscar, but he's a sweetheart! Lovely family cruise, thanks for sharing! Those Mexico waters look amazing. Emerald green, and nice to hear it's warm.
Have to say that Oscar is the most delightful little boy! Can see he has talent already at such a young age!! Imagine Oscar vlogging about cruises 15 years from now and the possible changes he would report on!
I rarely comment but I was “energized” by Oscar’s enthusiasm and had to congratulate you and David for an outstanding Vlogs. I live in CA and have cruised the Mexican Riviera and Ensenada is not the greatest port or representative of some great experiences in other Mexican ports. Thank you for an entertaining Vlog.
Oh my gosh!! Oscar is so cute he is very comfortable on camera. How nasty someone being sick over the side of the ship. No excuse for that. Bless the crew for all they have to deal with. Appreciate you taking us along even while on a family holiday. Parts of Mexico are really sad and dangerous. 100% agree. Packing is the worst! Thank you for taking us with you, your family, Stef. 💖💖💖💖
Thank you for taking us along with your family vacation. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and Oscar is Little Mr. Personality Plus!! I'm glad everyone seemed to have a great time.
JOY! LOVE! How awesome to giggle out loud at the exchanges between you two and Oscar and his natural glib patter with the camera. He's learning well from the both of you!
grateful for y’all. 💕 thank you for the glimpse into the holiday. Ensenada hasn’t been great for a while. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. I’m so sorry it was so discouraging.
OMG, Oscar is the best, he’s so sweet and fun. I’m glad you had such a great family vacation and we’re able to make such beautiful memories. My heart swelled 10 times watching your inquisitive precious nephew!!! Family cruises seem wonderful. Love the littles. ❤
Oscar is so adorable. The next generation of vloggers. Great to see the family vacation and the love you all have for one another. Great to see Stef as well. Can't wait for your next family vacation
The Bliss was with us in Colombia and also in the Panama Canal nearly 2 weeks ago with us. We were on HAL Eurodam and entered the Old locks and the Bliss was in the New locks. I am very envious of Oscar's Wonder Woman Mickey Mouse hat. I need one of those in my life 😁
Another GREAT video. The Mexican Riviera is beautiful. We just cruised the 'Rivera Solstice in December and it was awesome. Ensenada? Eh, as an American we know that is not a Port we want to stop at. If your viewers do the longer 7-8 night cruise to the 'Riviera the ports of MAZATLÁN and PUERTO VALLARTA are awesome beautiful ports. Do not miss these!
Oscar is so grown up and so flippin' cute! What fun and the amazing memories you're making as a family = priceless. So awesome that Steph is part of that! Thx for sharing!
As soon as Ben said..."3 hour tour" I immediately thought of Gilligan's Island😂 Haven't sailed from the West Coast yet, live in Florida, but plan to in the future. Great video, thanks for sharing Oscar with us🤩
Big Huge Fan of the vlogs. First time commenting, I absolutely love this channel with all of your feedback, suggestions and coverage of each cruise line in your series. The attention to all details are superb and appreciated. This episode was so charming, Oscar needs his own children’s suggestions he was so spot on like his Uncle. Thank you all and will continue to watch with anticipation 🛳️⚓️❤️
Oscar was the brightest star in this video. He has grown so much and loves the camera. it was fun seeing ya'll on a family vaca, it has been a while. I really enjoyed it so much.
Oscar brought a completely different vive to the show. I Loved it!. To see Ben and Dave bring in Oscar perspective about cruising is one of the best video to date!
Omg, really needed y’all to help perk me up. So, thank you in advance. Haven’t watched yet, but I know it’s better then my reality. So I look forward to watching y’all 😊😊😊
Great video! So wonderful to see families enjoying time together. Oscar stole the show! lol He will go far in life. 😃. Jennifer San Francisco Bay area USA
Only reason Ensenada gets so many cruise ships is so that the lines can have a stop at a foreign flagged port on shorter cruises from California. Since this cruise went to Cabo, NCL should change the second stop to San Diego.
Wonderful family vacation. Oscar is absolutely adorable so much Love you all have for each other. So is the new name of your show going to be Cruise With Oscar, Ben and David lol great show today.
I'm a West Coast cruiser and I can confirm -- Ensenada mostly sucks. I don't bother getting off the ship. Try a full Mexican Riviera cruise. Puerto Vallarta is amazing (my favorite Mexico port). In Mazatlan, there is an excursion to the old Mexico villages in the mountains that I can't recommend enough. The cruise is only two days longer and skips Ensenada (it's PV, Mazatlan and Cabo). More and more, there are cruises heading up into the Gulf of California, stopping in places like La Paz and Lareto. I plan to do that itinerary at some point.
OMG, I'm so happy that Tinashe got a promotion to Assistant Maitre d'Hotel in Cagney's! He was our server in Ocean Blue when we were on the Bliss a year ago and he was absolutely awesome - I made sure to fill out the comment card praising him too. Glad you had a good family holiday!
You should not apologize for loving your family. I love how much Oscar loves you guys. It is precious and could not be a more perfect video. Love and hugs for Oscar from Nonna Gina xoxo
Oh my god. The balcony story…. New fear unlocked!!! (I’m emetophobic!) Oscar is adorable! Thank you for sharing your family holiday with us and showing us something new.x
That was the cutest video you guys have ever posted. My brother is the same with my kids. The love that is evident between Oscar (Professional Kid's Cruise Reviewer) and both of you is adorable. Vacationing with your family, looking so relaxed is a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing!

Oscar’s love for his uncles is so evident, and it’s so sweet to see how you love him right back. Such a happy video
Thanks so much for watching
I agree! Adorable!!
He's so adorable and funny!
It's fun watching him grow up too!
Are Ben and David brothers? I didn't think so.
Oscar's exuberance is infectious. So fun to remember how it was to see the world through hungry eyes. He obviously basks in the loving attention of his uncles and the memories for him will be lifelong.
Oscar is fantastic. I can see him having his own show in the future. What a wonderful family. It is ideal to create such memory makers.
I agree 🥰
How are you doing Veronica
Totally!
Props to you all for showing the positive love between “guys” and their families and for including Steph in your adventures. Thanks for sharing part of your vacation and of course the star of the video, Oscar.

Ha, I think you are right! Your vlog has become the Cruise with Oscar Show!
Well it’s safe to say Oscar stole the show this episode, he’s adorable, lol!! 😊
Hi there , how are you doing today?
Love Cabo. We lived in Cabo then San Jose became Mexican Residents. Now. Our happy place. Great family video!
I love that you include all your family (Steph) is definitely family. One day, I'd love to go on a cruise with all 'yall
Aww Oscar is adorable. The cruise looked like so much fun.
Omg! When Oscar met the SIX queens at the end, my heart melted 🥰
Wow, Oscar is a natural UTuber Dude!
Only reason Ensenada gets so many cruise ships is so that the lines can have a stop at a foreign flagged port on shorter cruises from California. Since this cruise went to Cabo, NCL should change the second stop to San Diego.
Thanks Oscar for making this episode extra entertaining!
Wonderful family vacation. Oscar is absolutely adorable so much Love you all have for each other. So is the new name of your show going to be Cruise With Oscar, Ben and David lol great show today.
I work at the San Pedro Cruise Terminal!☺️😊😁
Oscar needs a regular appearance in your cruise videos! So cute. Also we did this cruise in November and loved it.
Love watching Oscar! I wish all children were as happy as Oscar!
A loving family produces happy children! Love Oscar's manners!
I'm a West Coast cruiser and I can confirm -- Ensenada mostly sucks. I don't bother getting off the ship.
Try a full Mexican Riviera cruise. Puerto Vallarta is amazing (my favorite Mexico port). In Mazatlan, there is an excursion to the old Mexico villages in the mountains that I can't recommend enough. The cruise is only two days longer and skips Ensenada (it's PV, Mazatlan and Cabo).
