@@mmc9828 if you love to see families cruising regardless of race, and we are a family that’s cruising, then why would this be the wrong channel for you?
@@TeamReeseTravels Because of the statement she made "love to see black families traveling". Instead, how about "love to see people traveling and happy". Wouldn't it sound strange to you if I said I love to see white families traveling?
@@mmc9828 well the way I see it, if you love to see families traveling regardless of race, then her comments should have no bearing on whether this is the right channel for you or not. We are a Black family, so we fall into your description of "families traveling." 😊. But allow me to go a little deeper for a moment, and I pray you are as open to this convo as I am. Unfortunately, Black families aren't always seen in mainstream travel media, so while we enjoy seeing travel content from all families, it is exciting for us as Black people to turn on the screen and see people who look like us on the high seas. I can't speak for anyone else, but I imagine other minority groups feel the same. And to answer your question, yes it would sound strange to me if you said you love to see white families traveling, but only because that is what mainstream media shows us all the time, so there's not really a need to call that out specifically in my opinion. The joy in seeing people that look like us on screen, comes from the lack of that visual on a regular basis, which doesn't seem to exist for white people. Hope that makes sense ♥.
I love how sweet and playful you guys are with each other. I've been binging icon of the seas videos and yours is especially good! i have one son too and this is the first video I've seen where we actually get to see the kids' club.
Thank you so much!! Yes we try to show the kids club on day one cause that’s usually the only time adults can get in for open house. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Most in-depth cruise vlog I’ve ever seen and I watched straight through! Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with your family and I’m looking forward to booking 🎉❤
Hey there, thanks for watching! Yes that was Lynette & Stanleeeeeyy 😂. We were all on the inaugural sailing, along with lots of other creators too. Thank you for the compliment on the energy!
Y'all are great! I'm only a few minutes in to the video so far and you have such a fun and engaging vibe. Love your editing style as well! Looking forward to more content. Thank you for filming and sharing your experience on Icon! Hoping to make it on this ship soon :)
Wow thank you so much, that's a true compliment. We really try to make sure we make our videos unique and informative. We appreciate you and hope that you enjoy the rest of our content. Please join us for Sunday Shenanigans this Sunday @ 5:45 p.m. CST.
It was a pleasure watching your family vacation. Im a solo traveler, sometimes I travel with my son, and this helps me see what this ship had to offer him. ❤
This video was uploaded on my Birthday. I'm watching it now as I just came across it from watching a video from someone your family appeared in. I watched their 3 hour video but now get to enjoy a 2 hour video. This would've been amazing to watch when it was first uploaded as I was away in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada where I live 2 hours away from there. I have a friend also from Canada who may want to go to Icon of the Seas in 2026 and hopefully around my birthday or starting of my birthday. I sent him a link so he can get a shorter version of the amazing experiences you had on the ship.
@TeamReeseTravels right now many hotels for about a year or so ago have welcomed refugees so many hotels are blocked off. I stopped going to one hotel that I've been at for 10 years because they pushed me and a few hundred people to another hotel last year. Now I'm starting at a new hotel that is much closer to Clifton Hill. So keep that in mind whenever you come across the border into Canada.
Its would be beautiful has an adult playing and gaming with your kids its okay for me been a kid for the day i love playing childish games with my kids they love and having a special bond ❤ this is beautiful 😀
I wish i could afford to go on that ship! Lol maybe in about 6 years or so when the price maybe goes down a bit lol 😂 I’ll have to just enjoy videos like this until then! Lol and I always screen shot my set sail pass so I don’t have any issues lol and that’s good to know about the aqua show that they hold seats for suite guests and then release them at a certain time if it’s not filled up! Good hack! To getting good seats lol
Girl I feel you cause it will be a looooong time before we get back on this ship 😂😂. Good idea to screenshot your set sail pass! And yay we are notorious for running late so I need hacks to get good seats late in the game 😂😂. Thanks for watching!
I also want to thank you for taking the time and the demonstrated expertise of capturing the menus Watching this on my 75 inch TV was a treat and I love to read what is available to eat and of course see your choices I Cruise to eat and food is 50% or more of what's important to me in vacation
@@TeamReeseTravels I haven't gotten to that part yet, but i love it when someone goes there and shows a menu. Last night I did a google search and so many videos and pictures and hardly anyone truly shows a menu. They may glance at it very quickly, wave it around but no one really actually shows it. If i was there I would take pictures for my over 1,400 Facebook people.
Yall got the best video to show everything and how it goes. I’ve been thinking about cruising eventually. Please keep making videos yalls channel is great!!!!!🔥
I really enjoyed your Icon video. It’s so upbeat and positive. Your son is adorable and so nice. I also thought it was beautiful that you had a romantic couple’s dinner. Your gold sequined evening gown was Gorgeous. I also really appreciated that you shared information about your large swimming cap. I have a large amount of natural hair that is thick. Even when I had relaxed hair I needed a secure big swim cap because my hair was very long. Btw, let me know if you sell a great heavy hair detangler. I really hope to save up enough money for a cruise next year or by my 70th birthday in June 14, 2026. My biggest concerns are about my rheumatoid arthritis and sciatica, but sciatica is much better. Looks like a ton of walking, but I’m a swimmer and love being in and around water. How far in advance should I plan for a big cruise? I’m a Retired Senior on very low SSA benefits and a cruise is on my bucket list. I’ve traveled to Europe and Brazil by plane a few times. Thanks for reading my long note Pam in Chicago 😀
Thank you so much and we’re glad you enjoyed! And thank you for the compliments on RJ and my gown 😊. I love my oversized swim caps, they always come in handy! For detangling I’ve been using the Unbrush. It works well but I do wish the bristles were a little longer to get closer to my scalp. For big trips we like to plan way in advance. We booked this one about 14 months prior to sailing, but we’ve done as far out as 18 months. Lately, the earlier you book the better the price, plus that gives you plenty of time to pay it off. Sounds like you have some awesome travel adventures under your belt already! We don’t mind long comments at all 😊. We appreciate you being here! Have a great day, from your neighbors over in Northwest Indiana 😁😁
Hey there! It was a bit overwhelming at first, but not in a bad way! I suggest making a list of things you absolutely want to do onboard and start with those. Trickle other things in as you can and just know you won’t get to fully experience every single thing but you will still enjoy it 😊
In St. Kitts? If so, we just grabbed a tour with one of the many tour guides that were standing outside at the port. This was the open air bus tour with a beach stop. It was $20 per person.
NEVER will understand paying extra for " SPECIALTY DINNING." I've already paid a hefty fee just to get on the cruise, now I am going to pay more to eat food that's included in my fare? Nope
@@TeamReeseTravels I also believe these restaurants don't want people running into there like its a buffet. So they know some people will pay and go and some people won't pay and won't go. So it truly limits on how many people go. I was told by another youtuber if you get the dining package you get a $20 credit per restaurant per day and anything over that you pay extra for. Is that correct?
Y’all son is so cute love to see black families traveling and seeing y’all family true love ❤️ blessings
Thank you so much and thank you for your support!
I love to see all families traveling and true love.

Did you find the ship overwhelming? We head out in November on a big ship so I was nervous it would be just to much.
Hey there! It was a bit overwhelming at first, but not in a bad way! I suggest making a list of things you absolutely want to do onboard and start with those. Trickle other things in as you can and just know you won’t get to fully experience every single thing but you will still enjoy it 😊
Love this! I would like to go. I’m concerned, have you had your thyroid checked?
Yes
I would've wanted a different excursion, maybe fishing on a boat, zip lines sounds fun ❤
I’ve been trying to convince my husband to ziplining. I love it!
What was the name of this tour. Where did you book? Price?
In St. Kitts? If so, we just grabbed a tour with one of the many tour guides that were standing outside at the port. This was the open air bus tour with a beach stop. It was $20 per person.
May I ask where do you get your music for your videos from??
Hi there, we use Epidemic Sound
#teamreplay 🤎👍🏽🤎👍🏽🤎👍🏽 Nice tour
Thank you so much fam!
love your hair as well are they crochet braids or individuals?
Thank you so much 🥰. They are crochet! This is the hair I used: amzn.to/3RAw7XM
We use the cups for toothbrush/toothpaste holders lol 😂
lol, that sounds like a good way to use them!
The ocean view balcony would be nice

I love a good sea day workout at the gym! Never made it on this ship though. The ship was its own workout, lol
