Jamie Otis Instagram – We just went on the world’s largest cruise ship & we figured out the SECRET to family vacations that are *actually relaxing* for us parents – you gotta make sure there’s a kids club!💯👏🏻😆
We have never been on a cruise before so we had NO IDEA what to expect. We went on @royalcaribbean brand new #IconOfTheSeas and it had everything you can imagine, plus some! I mean, it has 7 pools – 2 are infinity🤩, 22 restaurants (with more eatery spots throughout), and the largest water park at sea filled with water slides & hot tubs along with relaxing cabanas too.🥰
That would’ve been plenty enough to keep us having fun, but it also has a sports complex so we decided to play pickleball too ..bc why not! It was pretty cool playing at sea and not even feeling the boat move!👏🏻
It has a casino (I wouldn’t let my hubby gamble all our $ away though😜) & even broadway shows (we saw Wizard of Oz and it was truly spectacular-Dorothy and the witches fly😱).
I mean, there’s so much to do on this ship but ironically my kids LOVED the kids club!👏🏻🥳 Which of course we loved bc we were able to sneak away and have mini dates without having to bring a babysitter or family to watch the kids!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We only went for 3 nights but we could easily stay for a month without feeling bored on this ship! There’s just so much to do & see for everyone in the family!
It’s so funny to look back and see Henley say she was scared she was gonna be bored🤦♀️… she had no idea how much fun she was about to have!🤣 Now we wanna plan another cruise asap!!!
Seriously – best thing I learned from this was that any vacay we plan from here on out is gonna have to have a super fun kids center!🎯 That’s KEY for us parents getting any relaxing time while on vacation!💯🫶🏻
We are planning our 10 year bow renewal and I’m beginning to think it should be on a cruise ship! How fun & unique would that be?! 🥳🥳🥳 | Posted on 25/Jan/2024 01:49:08
