You guys are a beautiful family, great video, what a neat ship. Carnival is featured in this month's Costco magazine for Feb 2018, will be reading up more on Carnival. Great food venues. Thanks guys.
I enjoy your family videos! We have watched all of your videos and especially the Carnival Vista Cruise video, we are going on the Vista in 32 days!!! Thank you for the video, we have booked a room at the Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon because of all the amenities that it has within walking distance. We have 3 kids... a blended family 13, 13, and 16! cant wait.... We are from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. We just got a dump of snow the other day, can not wait to leave it!!!!! -6 right now
I love ❤️ love you guys videos I feel like you all prepare my family and I for our cruises 🚢 we aren't platinum yet we are just gold we only seem to get to cruise during the summer our son plays football and because of school 😢
99% sure they don't serve Barefoot wine on Carnival..my guess is that was a gift from the previous cabin guests :) Nice that the steward left it. Very cool! Thanks for these videos. We're doing a B2B (sorry about that Red Frog slow trot we'll be doing lol) in January..can't wait! Wow this ship looks so different from other Carnival ships we've been on. Sigh..sooooo far away still. Thanks for helping me pass the time.
I truly enjoyed this I cant wait for the next vlog! I will be on the Vista in June and I am seeing everything through your eyes until I get there...Interesting to see that the sail and sign cards are on the door. Do you take the card to customer service to put money on it?
lisa leach you can actually put money or carnival gift cards on when you check in before getting the cards or you can go to guest services desk once onboard. So much easier & faster with this check in process. Also hoping to have next blog #2 (1st sea day) out by tonight.....)
omg Abt ur debit card..so glad y'all had another one..that wuld ruin the whole trip..yeah I always call bank to tell them I'm goin away. i had fraud issue b4. I put reminder on calendar to call
Joy Allen Yes an oversight that won't happen again...haha. Made for an interesting start to our vacation. We can laugh about now, but at the time we were very upset....
@@SharonatSeaTravel In the fun room with the lego blocks, you went to the door leading outside three times. The first time, the door let an alarm, the third time, there was a small creature at time stamp 28:22 on the deck outside. It could have been a bug or possible a toy. Check it out.
Hi. I just booked this hotel because of your Vlog. I was originally booked downtown. May I ask how you got from the hotel to the cruise port? Was that also a free shuttle, or was the free shuttle only from the airport? If not, may I please ask how much shuttle cost from the hotel to the port? I am cruising solo, and I like to have all information before I cruise. I thank you so much.
Glotang Hi, There is a free airport to hotel shuttle. You just call them when you arrive. From hotel to cruise port a taxi is about $40. Although the hotel offers a ride to the cruise port for $10pp. So that would probably be the best choice for you traveling solo. You just put your name on the list when you arrive. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.😎
Amy Kondrath If you are the 1st ones in the Red Frog Pub you get a free drink. It was a game we started with our son a few years ago and now he thinks it's fun to do. So we do it for him more than the free drink....😊
Erika Dorsey Hampton inn pre cruise, Hilton by the airport post cruise. The Hilton was nicer, although the Hampton inn had included breakfast & close to grocery store, Walgreens, CVS, & restaurants. Hood for pre cruise stay. Both had free airport shuttle.
jayvee arcinas We bought the wine at Publix grocery store in Miami the day before. The Dewar's we pre purchase through the gift shop online at Carnival, click on in-state room beverages.
mccrarycharlie We get on earlier because we are platinum from cruising with Carnival so much. Once you have a certain number of cruise days you get priority boarding.
I wasn't sure if it was something special. I am always looking for ways to save money. I have been on about 25 cruises and plan on going on Carnival for my first time next year. I thought maybe they had some sort of a money saving giftcard program. Thanks!
Jdazzler15 No really although we also buy giftcards through Verizon using rewards and save 10%. so we sometimes pay off our cruises this way and get another 10% off entire cruise.
I used to work at a call center for Bank of America and regardless of where you travel you need to call whatever bank you use to put a travel flag on your account. I do apologize for what happened and next time make sure you put it on your accounts....
Dude...your kid is happy and having fun. Why you gotta call him out on video? Thats the same as call him out in fron of every body. You gotta be more tactful
So glad I stumbled upon your vlog. Can't get enough. These videos hold me over until my next cruise! Thanks!
Melissa Hoffman Glad you enjoy them. We leave in 3 weeks for Alaska cruise. Will be vlogging it as well.
Oh that's awesome, have a great time!
Melissa Hoffman Thank you!!!
Yes yes great vids I'm so happy . I've been on cruises before but now as a family we all go. 30 more days
Btw it will be the same boat. That's yall were on.
Your son looks so young on this one video. The first one I saw from you all was the RC Symphony. Funny to go back wards watching your vids.
You guys are a beautiful family, great video, what a neat ship. Carnival is featured in this month's Costco magazine for Feb 2018, will be reading up more on Carnival. Great food venues. Thanks guys.
DansJets Thank you!!!😊
Would you recommend that hampton inn? Staying there in December hopefully!

What was the little creature at 28:22 on the floor outside fun room?
I'm not really sure which creature you are referring to.....)

Great video I have a cruise coming up on carnival dream August 24, 2019
For five days out of Galveston
Going to have a balcony for the first time 😀
what were y'all doing that y'all missed the sail away party? that's a must!
Joy Allen Got caught up watching sailaway from our balcony. Miami is a beautiful port to leave from.

To think, that small kid eventually gets his own pizza review on this channel. Moving up in the world
thanks for sharing, really enjoyed watching, tracey from england
JACKSON FAMILY You're welcome....Love making memories.
I'm so excited I'm porting out of Galveston on Feb 24th
Keeton O'Banion Enjoy!!!
We will we went on the Breeze last year I'm really excited about the Vista... what was your favorite thing to do on the Vista!
Keeton O'Banion Sky ride. You have to do it at least once.
We got FTF and wondered what the earliest we could get on the Vista at Galveston was? Anyone know?
I would get there at 10:00am.
Did you have access to the Havana area in the daytime for this cruise?
No, only after 7pm.
What was the reason you were hurrying to Red Frog? Good job on the VLOG!
Amy Kondrath If you are the 1st ones in the Red Frog Pub you get a free drink. It was a game we started with our son a few years ago and now he thinks it's fun to do. So we do it for him more than the free drink....😊
What hotel did you all stay at in Miami, dec will be my first cruise and unsure of hotels.
Erika Dorsey Hampton inn pre cruise, Hilton by the airport post cruise. The Hilton was nicer, although the Hampton inn had included breakfast & close to grocery store, Walgreens, CVS, & restaurants. Hood for pre cruise stay. Both had free airport shuttle.
What did you film with?
Sheri Sandlin Go Pro & Phones for videos & Phones & Olympus Tough water proof camera for pics.
Sharon at Sea Thank you! 🙂
Matthew was being a typical 12 yr old when he got n room..lol my son will jump on the bed when we go on Vista June 2018

Joy Allen I'm also cruising Vista June 2018...so so far away 😭

Joy Allen you got me beat, I have 430 days! lol
Where did you get the Alcohol? And how much was it if you don't mind? We're sailing last week of April 2017
jayvee arcinas We bought the wine at Publix grocery store in Miami the day before. The Dewar's we pre purchase through the gift shop online at Carnival, click on in-state room beverages.
where did y'all order calls custom shirts from???
Jalisa Hamilton Those we are wearing in this video came from Custom Cruise wear.
Sharon at Sea thank you !!!
Do you guys have a Diamond card
Eli1031 Not yet, we are working on it. We are Platinum.
Sharon at Sea I am still gold. In December when I go on the Vista, I hope to get a new card
Eli1031 Awesome!!!
They got rid of the bowling alley now it’s more like ski ball
Doesn't surprise me. It was broken more often the working.
How do you get to get on earlier than others? Is it from booking so far in advance?
mccrarycharlie We get on earlier because we are platinum from cruising with Carnival so much. Once you have a certain number of cruise days you get priority boarding.
Sharon at Sea Oh okay, thanks!
What time were you able to board?
WatchMyGetFit I think we were on a little before noon.
What were the giftcards you were referring to? :)
Jdazzler15 Carnival giftcards.
I wasn't sure if it was something special. I am always looking for ways to save money. I have been on about 25 cruises and plan on going on Carnival for my first time next year. I thought maybe they had some sort of a money saving giftcard program. Thanks!
Jdazzler15 No really although we also buy giftcards through Verizon using rewards and save 10%. so we sometimes pay off our cruises this way and get another 10% off entire cruise.
I'm going today at midnight and it takes 17.5 hours to get there do it must be worth it
christina jernigan Yes it's worth it. Enjoy your cruise!!!
Check in online so you don’t have to wait
How much TV is Matthew going to watch ? Well cant always be first lol. I love watching Josh hocum he is the best vloger
how long did it take to get to miami
JACKSON FAMILY Our flight was about 4 and a half hours from AZ.
Been there went to Canada and forgot to tell the bank. I had 30 dollars in cash. The hotel helped with the bank and they released funds thank god
Cheryl Young Nice that they helped to fix it. Yes I will never make that mistake again.....😊
I was on it
2 YEARS LATER I REALIZE WE WERE ON THE SAME CRUISE
The best Italian restaurant in town.
FL state law. Liquor store need to be separate from the supermarket.
Great vlogging! May I ask why you took a red eye? Looking forward to watching the rest of the cruise.
Always A Bob We got a great price on it so we figured why not, we had never done it before so thought we would give it a try ....
Sharon at Sea that's what I thought. Your vlogs are great! I enjoyed your trip!
Always A Bob Thank you😎
Publix has the best subs you could possibly have for next time. :)
Elizabeth Breen Thanks!!!
I do not understand why grocery chain stores in Michigan do not make fresh subs...but there's a sub shop on every other corner here...
Thanks for the Tip. Hoping to get a chance just to visit a Publix store.
I used to work at a call center for Bank of America and regardless of where you travel you need to call whatever bank you use to put a travel flag on your account. I do apologize for what happened and next time make sure you put it on your accounts....
We knew, but got so busy and forgot.
how about your dog?
Your cancerous Furry in law xd Our dog was great....We had a dog sitter.
oh.
Priority ? You not in a suite
They are platinum vifp members.
Dude...your kid is happy and having fun. Why you gotta call him out on video? Thats the same as call him out in fron of every body. You gotta be more tactful
