  • What's up Spreezies! We traveled to Miami, Florida to celebrate Phil's birthday on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the seas. We heard that this ship was considered the party ship of the fleet and it did not disappoint. This soon became our favorite ship that Royal Caribbean has to offer. We spent 3 days traveling to 2 ports, Nassau and Royal Caribbean's private island, Coco Cay. In this series you can expect tons of laughs, memorable moments, how we act with out traveling without our son, and lots of fun.
    In this vlog we we have made it to our first port of call, Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas, Coco Cay. When we go on vacation, we noticed that we have two different vacation styles. Dee loves to relax and Phil can be very adventurous, which you will see in this vlog. Also, we will share some tips that we learned along the way while visiting here.

    Hey fam!!!
    Coco Cay definitely provides options. 4:20, we experienced the cold water back in January. Phil, I love the shades!! Dee is relaxing!!!!
    Mozzarella sticks and chicken sandwichs are good. Dee is meeting new friends on the cruise. Lol That slide was no joke, and the life guard had your back! Lol

    GM my friends. Oh y’all posted early so you can start your Cinco de Mayo weekend 🌯🌮🧆🤗. Oh darn. We got on tram straight to Oasis lagoon. So we had the Snack Shack spot and the mozzarella sticks were ah aight 😂. Would’ve liked that Captain spot. Nah. When that water cold; just gotta plunge in. When I was Dee’s age loved the beach, pool, water slides 🛝. But now pushing triple 20; the pool good for me 😂. Oh these folks partying in that pool 💃🏼🕺with their 🍹🧉🍺. Your pool music 🎶 selection is 🥵🔥. Oh Phil. How you gon drink down the rum in Dee’s 🍹😂? I had the mozzarella sticks & the chicken sandwich and they were ok. I didn’t see the big hoopla. Oh well had funnel cake too. Oh you had to pay at Captain Jacks? Oh you did the waterpark? Cool 😎. Them stairs is a NO 😂. There were 8 of us. 3 of us stayed at Oasis Lagoon and the other 5 went to the WaterPark. They should have like a $10 or $20 fee for folks to go in who want to see their kids/grandkids/friends etc. Put a wristband on the folks doing the slides 🤷🏻‍♀️. Dee I would’ve been with you BUT would’ve been in that big gorgeous pool. We all do what makes us happy. Have a great weekend guys 🤗

She loves all those things, but from a far. Lol remember, if it comes up to her knee caps l, that's too deep. 🤣 yes they were partying HARD. The DJ had to yell at them a few times. Dee wasn't going to finish that drink had I not drank it down. That's when we I gave it to her she said it was just right. She likes em fruity but not anything that will put hair on her chest. Lol I agree on the wrist band thing. That's a great idea. Thanks for watching. Hope yall have an even better weekend.
