Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.
Since getting chronically ill I’m unable to fly, my aim is to now travel by cruise! NOTHING will stop me from travelling the world!
aww we love the go getter attitude!! please keep us updated on how your travels go!!
That’s the spirit!
Rooting for you!💖
Love your mindset - get out there!
I have NEVER been on cruise ships, but y'all cruise videos are making me want to go on one.
hehe it doesnt help that this is one of the funnest ships to go on!
Oh, you must one day make the trip - there's so many to choose from!
OH MY GOODNESS, this is NUTS! - currently looking when the next one is to book!! haha absolutely amazing guys - love this video!
Can we go together next time PLEASE!!!!
I've watched so many videos of this cruise ship but yours is always the best! I love your family!
awww this is so lovely thank you!!
With two children you have time to answer to all of us. Simply, the best. I really love you and I wish you all the best!
aww youre too kind thank you!! we appreciate you guys watching and commenting so much!
Oh my goodness that ship is magical 😍😍😍 I’m like speechless I don’t even know what to say. Your kids will remember these memories for the remainder of their life, I love how you are sharing your experiences as a family, it’s so special 🥰
You are such great parents enjoying everything with your kids.
I was on the same ship on the same day!
I saw you and wanted to say hi but didn’t want to disturb your vacation
I’m your great fan from Japan 🇯🇵😍
PS I also made a video about Icon ❤️
Just spent the last 5 months watching the Nestathon, can’t remember who coined that phrase but it was quite apt, loved watching you grow you channel over the last 8 or so years from a young couple eating popcorn to a young family of four touring around the world eating the best food… thanks for sharing you wonderful adventures guys 👍🏻
Aw this is lovely!
Please adopt me for your next trip. I want you to be my parents. Even though I'm old enough to be your parent, I would love to eat ice cream and then cupcakes and then more dessert. Everything is a yes when you're on a cruise. Although I don't want to hear the two of you say that you don't eat sweets for breakfast
hahah aww thanks :)
Agreed - can I come too? HA!
I just finished our cruise Saturday. WOW is all I can say. This ship is amazing, I miss it already.
I'm so jealous!
We've never done a cruise but THIS ONE looks like the one to take. Omg y'all I can't wait for more of this series ❤ our toddler is actually engaged watching the entire thing with us, it looks so fun!
Awww!! Yay so glad to hear!!
Ahhh welcome back everyone to a brand new series where we explore the WORLDS largest cruise ship!! Hope you enjoy this series got 2 more episodes coming your way :)
This is too beautiful cruise ship 🚢 the kids are excited 🥰cutie baby boy is so surprised to see a gigantic beautiful cruise ship 🚢
Just wanted to watch something interesting and your alert popped up! Yay now for some snacks
hehe yay what snackies you got?
I love you too, Steve and Jess. You guys are amazing and love all the details you give. I would love to go on this cruise ship for 8 days. Hunter & Koa are the cutest, happiest, funniest, lovable, & the sweetest amazing and they have the happiest parents ever. I have fallen in love with your family. Can’t wait to see your next video. ❤❤❤❤
Naww ❤️❤️
I am humbled by this review. Great job. Very impressive. As someone who spent a ton of time shooting and editing an Icon review this blows our review out of the water. Very impressive with 2 kids one being a baby I am not sure how you did it but I can say that all your hard work is appreciated by this guy.
The Best Part about this Video is the way you make us feel like we experienced this vacation with your family and Also Rocked it with the kids! GREAT VIDEO 👏🏾👏🏾
I have never been one for wanting to go on a cruise, however the piano player IN THE ELEVATOR has sold me! That was epic!
yesss!! that guy is seriously so talented!! ill have to rewatch it but i think he was in front of our "Wonderland" dinner night on the Wonder of the seas!! its such a fun treat when youre trying to catch an elevator and BOOM there's a pianist in front of you!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours and I am not usually a fan of cruise ships-I just felt like it was so much fun. Thanks for giving so many of us a mini vacation ❤😂🎉😊
aww yay!! so glad you enjoyed it!! we had SUCH a fun week!
@@flyingthenest ❤️❤️❤️
It is amasing what you guys have been able to create. To see your children grow up with so much unconditional love has blown me away. I have never seen so much care and thoughtfulness in a family. You are next level beautiful x
nawwwww this comment made us teary eyed!!
Someone told me that long life is determined by your level of happiness. If this is the case Hunter will live til a ripe old age, the joy on her face is precious.
Aww that’s the plan 😊
The man who works in the elevator is a champ 😂 what a small space with so many people, God bless him
he was the highligt of the cruise! what ever they pay him its not enough
I have been following your videos for 5-6 years, ever since I discovered your Türkiye series on my UA-cam recommended page. It's been quite a journey, and I've loved every part of it. I'm very proud of you and your little superheroes that joined your adventure 💙💙
We are going on icon in 2 days for 1 week so excited 😊😊😊
Love the video and I love cruising, especially Royal Caribbean. We'll be on Icon in October! I'm also a travel agent so feel free to contact me to book your next cruise or land vacation!
Very nice and informative blog….keep the Good work up…Cheers
Awwwww Steve and Jess, this was fabulous to watch. Just love seeing Hunter and Koa enjoy the activities and trying new foods. You guys are the best❤❤❤ thank you.
thank you so much for your spport!!
Wow guys your are sensational, we were watching Travel Beans and was introduced to your most wonderful channel, looking forward to some great viewing, so let’s get the Recliner lounge chairs serviced, modify the arm rests so we have coffee, tea on tap and mount the Microwave for the endless supply of popcorn. Take care, god bless and our journey begins! 👍😇🙏🇦🇺
Hahahaha okay this comment just made our day!!! Get comfy guys and say hi to the beans for us 🤍
Ooh I have been eyeing up this cruise ship, it looks like such a great time!
well worth it!
I love all your ship cruises ❤
aww thank you!!
I’ll be on this year. Can’t wait 🎉. 👍🏻
you will have the BEST time!
Aww! The “I caught the egg” from little Hunter! Yall are the best parents to your sweet kiddos! They are growing up in the absolute, most magical way! 🚢 🎉 💫
hehe she was SO pumped she got it ;-) but she just rewatched the clip and i think shes questioning it hahah
So lovely to see, we were booked on this sailing but postponed as we welcomed Baby Erin in January 🤍 watching this and living through you, first real family experience I’ve seen of the ship 🤩
ommg. I just wanna cruise right now.
It was soo fun
wow they're so Aussie even the little girl.... great vid
Wow, that ship looks phenomenal. Another awesome video
we've yet to even show you half it yet!
Fabulous. Can't wait for the next one
yay! next weekend :)
Great to see you guys on ICON - I do think the ship looks amazing, but potentially too big for me - I think I'd be so overwhelmed stepping onto a ship like that!
Love seeing Jess loose and having fun!!!
The couple in the corner to the left of Jess on the elevator just looked dumbfounded by you all singing the words to We are the Champions with the elevator pianist. Pricesless!!
hahahaha omg i know right we were laughing so much at the footage!
Stunned at how massive that ship is. Did you guys feel any rocking at all, since you didn't even feel much during the squall? So many fun things to do!
❤when Hunter caught the food in her mouth lol so sweet.
Hunter is to funny. And also piano man in the elevator. That cruise ship is definitely crazy! Wow. Did you find it too family oriented?
We just got back from this cruise and it was EPIC! So amazing. So worth it.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Love the piano guy in the elevator!!! I always tell people to look for the piano guy!
Yess!! Such a highlight
Thanks for the amazing video! We sail on Icon next week!! Can’t wait for your next video.
yayy! busy getting it ready now for next weekend :)
The kids must have lovea it!
So proud of you Jess!! Well done getting out of your comfort zone😄❤ 27:02
Izumi is AWESOME!!! Champagne lobster rolls and steak on a hot stone? Yes please.
Somehow I never did the hibachi at Izumi but it looks like great fun.
ooooh we've only ever done Hibachi but we LOVE it
@@flyingthenest one day I WILL cruise Royal as a guest again and go for hibachi.
That was a fantastic week on the icon of the seas with Friends , you sure got to do a lot. Looked amazing 😻
No wonder you booked it ages ago the prices are way too high 😢 now .
Great video. Well done jess on the high walkway ( not for me too scared of heights )
Loved the Butterfly on Hunter just so pretty , the family area looks amazing 🤩.
Looking forward to your next video safe travels 🥰
yeah i think we booked it on a 60% off and kids sail free, black friday or something deal as yeah ive seen the prices are quite high now!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!! Probably the best cruise video I’ve seen. We always love your videos!
awww no way youre the best!!
Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family journey with us I’m really enjoying your content
yay thanks so much!!
@@flyingthenest your welcome anytime I really enjoy your videos and content
My 2 year old loves watching your guys videos! She loves seeing the kids 😊
Awww say hiiii
Koa is sooooo cute! And omg growing so fast 😍😍
Very cool ship!
So cool!!
Fav part is them including hunter w catching the egg 🥹
Im not sure if you are still on the cruise now, but if you are the mirror on the wall in the cabin pulls open too for more storage! Little hidden gem
haha we arent on it anymore but we did figure this out on the last day!
@@flyingthenest Awesome! Thanks for the amazing video as always. Little hunter reminds me so much of my little niece. Its amazing to see the different cultures and countries your kids are getting exposed to and I love watching your videos! Much love from a fellow Aussie to you all
Beautiful cruise 👍🏽🇺🇸 icon of the seas
Hi I love this vid on my shcool days I have to go to bed early and these vids really help me after a little ng day to just settle down and calm down ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Venice/Italy and Amsterdam/Netherlands are introducing more and more measures to protect the cities from mass tourism. This will particularly affect large cruise ships.
Looks like SO much fun! Making us wanna get on Icon ASAP!
You guys would love it!
Jess I love all your outfits! Such a cool mum ✨ your pink dress is gorgeous, where’s it from?
I don’t think I could go on a cruise ..so thanks for letting me tag along!! Loved the elevator part and Hunter "catching" the egg 😅
I hope the kids had a great time in the kids club (that’s where I worked when I worked for Royal, with A.O).
My friends Sher-Lynn and Juan are there.
they did!! the team were so awesome on board!
@@flyingthenest I’m so glad. There’s a great team there and I absolutely love Sher-Lynn and Juan.
Couldn’t just watch the video without subscribing 😂 found my new adult friends 🤣🤣
Can you please tell the viewers how much you spent the 4 of you?? Thank you
Great video!! We cruise on Icon next week! How did you find the movement/motion on the ship compared to others? So nervous about us getting sea sick.
Minimal!! Enjoy!
i haven’t watched you guys in ages! a whole new child!!
Ha ha the part in the disco made me laugh lol amazing ship
Hi there
Thanks for sharing how to get tickets love it 🎉
I felt like I was there with you (I wish! ). I smiled all the way through this. Thanks for doing all the hard work so we don't have to. 😂😂😂
Haha aww thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it
Worst weather, but the see is still flat! That was thankfully not a strom. You wouldn't definitely feel the boat rocking when that happened!
This is very true! Thankful there weren’t crazy waves
I love you videos so much ❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
It looks so much fun. I love it ❤❤❤
Thank you 🤗
The aqua show looks great.
honestly doesnt even show up that well on camera - way better in person
I love hibachi shows. I was at a resort in the Dominican Republic and they did a show a the resort i was at and it was fun. Not as fun as yours. Way to everyone especially Hunter!! You all did way better than me I admit LOL! That looks like a fun cruise for sure!!
They’re seriously so fun!! I’m sure even better on land as they can use fire
@@flyingthenest yeah it was a lot of fun. I caught some pretty cool shots on my phone of the flames our chef created with the cooking oils. The food as awesome too!
I can tell you had a good time Jess, you sounded like you were losing your voice a bit at the end of the video 😂 Love watching these cruise videos and would love to do a royal Caribbean cruise myself, maybe one day 🙏😁
😂😂😂 by the third video on this series you will see Stephen does all the talking as I loose my entire voice by the end of the week 😂
Love this, I do want to cruise on Icon one day. I have only ever cruised Carnival and. PO. Would love to see the aqua show. Was there ice skating on Icon?
Dear UA-cam thank you for making me watch this and for subscribing to this channel 😊
Looks like you had an amazing time 😊
We did!!!
Can you make a video about your curent gear? or at least mention this in one of your future videos
THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC brilliant
Hehe
I just saw you on Klook on Family Fudge's video of them arriving in Japan.
Hahaha niiice
I can't believe the best cruise line in the world doesn't know the difference between hibachi and teppanyaki. Now everybody on board is going to get it wrong, too.
Wow! I’m 45 I don’t even have a passport, never had one. I need to get one and take my kids somewhere.
Teidän kannattaa tulla Suomeen kesällä, jolloin aurinko ei Lapissa laske ollenkaan. Meillä on Suomessa usein kesällä viileämpää kuin muualla. Toki ilmastomuutos on meillekin tuonut tuskahelteet.
Lapsille on paljon tekemistä kesällä ja seikkailuja sekä design rarjolla❤
You should come to Finland in summer, when the sun doesn't set at all in Lapland. In Finland, it is often cooler in the summer than elsewhere. Of course, climate change has also brought us painful heat. There is a lot for children to do in the summer and adventures and design galore❤
ALL FAMILY SWEET ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hunter's face on the slide 😂
😂😂
Its like being at the mall and suddenly it just sails away.. lol..

Did you guys meet Chris Wong ?
He works in the casino and has a UA-cam channel called “Chris Wong Vlogs”
No we didn’t go to the casino but will check it out
Wow ❤❤❤
❤️❤️
Silja Line tarjoaa Muumi elämyksiä.
Naantalissa on Muumi maailma, joka on pieni ja söpö❤
Finland, Silja Line offers Moomin experiences. There is a Moomin world in Finland, Naantali, which is small and cute ❤
Loved your video. Quick question. Is the couch a pullout couch? Where did your kids sleep?
It was yes!
Much prefer the exploration videos to cruises or disney.
Got a fun series coming for you soon then 😊
