Sweet deal with Carneval. Stuff happens. When I was in the Gallapegos, the elegant tall sailing ship I planned to travel with DROPPED its newly renovated engine in the ocean two days before my trip. They offered me a place on a very old boat as everything else was booked out. Turned out to be the BEST experience! The boat was the original one from the 1950‘s that was used to start the tourism industry. It has no sails but that meant a smooth ride and a smooth stay in ports. The Captain and crew were super cool and musical. We danced and played salsa every night, slept on the roof under the stars. It was awesome. Just rolling with it is sometimes the best choice in life.
When you mentioned in your last video that you were coming in and leaving the same day I legit got second hand stress for you in fear that might happen! Looks like a great trip! The free cruise deal sound great!
Yeah, that wasn't the best idea, especially in the winter. I was supposed to fly through Denver but they had a snowstorm that backed up all of the flights in and out. I had to fly down to Dallas, over to Chicago, then on to DC. It took all night.--Tasha
You guys just inspire me to work hard, spend quality time with my family , be “money smart” and to just enjoy life! Your channel is truly One Big Happy Life! Take care from Alaska!
This has me so excited! My kids and I did our 2nd Christmas cruise ‘18 on Carnival & have the next one booked for Christmas ‘19. What I hustle for!!! Funny when they told you deck 9 for food and I’m over here yelling Liiiiidooooo! :)
My husband and I go on our 1st Carnival Cruise December 2019!!! We're Disney cruisers but got a great deal with booking so early! Try a Disney cruise AFTER you use that no charge cruise 😛
I've been watching for some time now and never knew you were in the DMV too! We are going on the Sunrise from Norfolk 2019 (newly renovated ship) that would be a great do over cruise :)
We're still up in the air about which ship we want to sail on next but we will definitely keep that in mind. I like the idea of being able to drive to the port.--Tasha
Your trip looked awesome. My husband and I absolutely Love cruising. Plan something really fun for your next cruise. I love the Caribbean, so much to see and do. Thank you for sharing. Be blessed
My boyfriend and I just got back from our second ever baecation, we took a Carnival Cruise too! We took a 4 day Bahamas cruise to Princess Cays and Nassau. We'll definitely be repeat cruisers. You all looked like you had so much fun, well deserved!!
We just went on our first cruise and with Carnival earlier this month on the Sunshine. Thanks for showing that towel rabbit. I couldn't tell what it was! LOL Glad you enjoyed your time.
Awesome deal with the comp cruise....Looks like y'all had an amazing time!!! I am going to share this video with my hubby. He's been wanting to take a cruise for the past couple of months. Great vlog, I truly enjoyed your guys.
I've always wanted to go on a cruise. What luck with the 100% free cruise! But that stinks that the last few days weren't great. Now you can have a free redo!
Ive sailed with Carnival 4 times and loved it. Cruise #5 is planned for May 2019. Sweet deal with you guys deciding to stay on-board. I can see Reeves taking over the vlogs soon or you guys need to get him his own channel...LOL! Beautiful family and glad you all had a great time on your cruise.
Man! Y'all got a great deal! And that trip looked so much fun. Y'all are going to have me signing my family up for a cruise! Thanks for sharing all of your adventure. And Reeves was looking like he was at home in the island😁
Well, she was speaking the truth. She'd been talking about packing for weeks before the trip!😂 But when Joseph calls either of us by name, you know we're testing his nerves.--Tasha
Glad you had a chance to unwind and relax for a week. I'm actually a big cruiser, and even have an upcoming cruise planned in April. Hope you enjoyed your first cruise, and will go again. So let me ask, did you think you over packed for your first cruise? That's what usually happens for first time cruisers (including me).
We both over packed and under packed. I will probably pack less stuff in the future. Though it was kind of hard cruising from a cold port to a warm one.--Tasha
Thanks so much for sharing! It looks like you all had a great time. This is making me look forward to my first cruise with Carnival! Which ship did you sail on?
Fun video. Reeves will get to the age where he will be exited to travel😃 My daughter started asking us to go on different trips now that she's 7. 😂Toddlers 💡. Where would the ship stop besides Bahamas?
I was on a cruise at the (almost) same time...and I was also on a 7 day cruise...and also in the Caribbean....and I was ALSO on carnival cruise. I was kinda keeping an eye out thinking it might be the same cruise. But I was on the Carnival Magic, and we had different stops and I think maybe a couple days later than you (Sunday-Sunday). :p But I am glad it wasn't the same cruise because I would have gone insane if it only had 1 stop.
I fear cabin fever on ships or mini real life titanic moments which you all seem to have encountered. We can’t predict the weather though. Glad you all had a good time despite the unanticipated change of plans.
I have been watching many of your clips and have enjoyed all of them. Thank you! We have something in common: My husband and I have a teenager daughter and a toddler son. One of my heart's greatest sorrows is that my daughter resents the presence of her brother. She loved being an only child and is quite rude and mean to her brother. Do you have any advice on how to handle this?
Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that. One of the things that I often talk about with Alexis is how happy I am that she will have her brother after Joseph and I are gone. Maybe that will give her some perspective?--Tasha
@@OneBigHappyLife I really appreciate your kind, thoughtful response, Tasha. Thank you. I am not sure if I ever thought to share that with Olivia before. Thank you for that perspective! I pray wonderful blessings on you and your beautiful family.
@@OneBigHappyLife I live in Nassau but I am from another island called Exuma (where the swimming pigs are located). I will continue binge watching your old videos and keep up with the new. 😇
I was on the Carnival Pride in August 2015 with my family and we had the interior obstructed view French balcony that you have. I loved room. And as far as different cruise lines go Carnival has some of the biggest staterooms. With your future Cruise credit you should try one of their ships out of New York or Norfolk. They are different class ships throughout the fleet and fun to try them all. try to get one of their ships with Half Moon Cay as one of the stops. That's their private island in the Bahamas and it's gorgeous.
@@OneBigHappyLife I wanna know what you feed him. It takes me 17 years to grow ONE inch 😄 Just kidding, love your channel Tasha! It's very fun to watch 😊
Joseph cracks me up! The dry sense of humor, the facial expressions....Thanks for making me smile!
He loves it when people appreciate his humor, so your comment made him smile too.--Tasha
After the husband got the haircut I was like ohhhh😍😍 and Tasha has really nice cheekbones and super cute voice. #goals
Joseph's man monologue in the beginning was too funny. Your trip looked so fun!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.-Joseph
16:48 I'm watching this while eating cereal and a bagel 😐😖 it's making me crave dessert.
Sweet deal with the comp cruise....Looks like y’all had a blast. Reeves is definitely going to have his own channel soon and I will be a sub 🤩.
Aww! Thank you! Reeves does love being on camera. The little ham.--Tasha

You and me both! I love watching our older videos and seeing how much they have both changed.--Tasha
your haircut looks great, your wife is very talented!
Thanks!--Tasha
I still think Carnival cruise boats are the best decorated and most engaging.
watching from the future. Where did you go for the 2nd cruise?
Great video!!! Doing my cruise research and this was great
We are going on a cruise next week and oh man did this get me excited for it!!
This has me so excited! My kids and I did our 2nd Christmas cruise ‘18 on Carnival & have the next one booked for Christmas ‘19. What I hustle for!!! Funny when they told you deck 9 for food and I’m over here yelling Liiiiidooooo! :)

We're checking out all the potential cruises now because we'll need to book soon!--Tasha
Wow, at first I was thinking that every one got off the ship. Looks like you guys had a good time.
We had a great time. And a relatively small number of people actually got off the ship.--Tasha
what boat? I've been on the Pride and the Splendor. Doing the Pride again for Halloween.
I enjoyed you guys vlog. You guys have a beautiful family. Did you book the cruise yourself or had a travel agent?
My boyfriend and I just got back from our second ever baecation, we took a Carnival Cruise too! We took a 4 day Bahamas cruise to Princess Cays and Nassau. We'll definitely be repeat cruisers. You all looked like you had so much fun, well deserved!!
Those are the two ports that we missed. 😥--Tasha
Reeves is like a cool kid. He was in the back chilling.
Joseph, you are hilarious! This was very fun to watch.
Erika Correa I agree 😊
This was such a fun vlog. We have never done a cruise before. I haven’t given it much thought actually. Perhaps one day.
It's a lot of fun and can be very reasonable if you do it right. I'm sure we'll be sharing tips in an upcoming video.--Tasha
I love carnival cruise thanks for the video which ship was y’all on.
I love carnival cruise lines! Looks like you had a great time - can’t wait to see the next one!
It was a lot of fun. And we at a lot. A lot.--Tasha
We just went on our first cruise and with Carnival earlier this month on the Sunshine. Thanks for showing that towel rabbit. I couldn't tell what it was! LOL Glad you enjoyed your time.

It was a lot of fun!--Tasha
Just found your channel.. Interesting to watch amma stick around for a while
I enjoyed this vlog! Glad u guys made it back safely! I love Your children’s personalities. They seem so happy and adventurous! Awesome 😎
They are a fun bunch. Reeves is a little too adventurous.--Tasha
Baby boy is the cutest😍omg
Shame about the weather.. But at least you had down time with each other which is precious above all!💖
Nice deal with the cruise. Reeves is a future vlogger.
He is a natural!--Tasha
Man! Y'all got a great deal! And that trip looked so much fun. Y'all are going to have me signing my family up for a cruise! Thanks for sharing all of your adventure. And Reeves was looking like he was at home in the island😁
It was a lot of fun. Reeves is basically at home anywhere. He's a bundle of energy no matter what.--Tasha
Nice video. It look like you all had a wonderful time.
Alexis in the beginning 😂😂😂😂 totally what I would say to my parents
Well, she was speaking the truth. She'd been talking about packing for weeks before the trip!😂 But when Joseph calls either of us by name, you know we're testing his nerves.--Tasha
Looks like you guys had an amazing time!! How cool that you got another free cruise out of it??
It was a lot of fun. And yes, we're looking forward to our bonus vacay!--Tasha
Awww Reeves!!!!! Beautiful trip!!!
Glad you had a chance to unwind and relax for a week. I'm actually a big cruiser, and even have an upcoming cruise planned in April. Hope you enjoyed your first cruise, and will go again.

Looks like fun!! Reeves definitely had a blast!!
I think Reeves could find a way to turn an empty room into an adventure. Chasing that baby wore us all out.--Tasha
One Big Happy Life oooh yes I feel you because my 1 1/2 year soon to be 2 has me wore out. Lol have to drink energy tea to keep up.
Looks like Lots of Fun!!!!
It was!--Tasha
Thanks so much for sharing! It looks like you all had a great time. This is making me look forward to my first cruise with Carnival! Which ship did you sail on?
It was a lot of fun. We were on the Pride. I hope you have a great trip!--Tasha
@@OneBigHappyLife Thanks so much Tasha! I'll set sail on the Victory in January. Happy Holidays to you and your family. 💛
Your family is beautiful! Hope it was a great one. 🤗😘
Thank you! It was great!--Tasha
such a beautiful vacation! Nice video! Thank you for taking us with you!
Thanks for watching!--Tasha
I'll be on that same ship in 11 days!! Hopefully the issues are fixed by then. Looks like ya'll had a blast!
I hope so too. We actually got back late and the ship was supposed to leave again that same day. My fingers are crossed for you!--Tasha
Happy that you came to Freeport hope you enjoyed yourself, that's where I live just found your channel nice family
We did have a lovely time at Freeport. Thank you. -Tasha
Great video. Alexis sounds just like Tasha
Reeves is adorable!
New Supporter 💛. Loved the video and Thank you for posting. Have an awesome weekend.👍👍👍💚❤️💚❤️💚
Ya ya is gorgeous and funny . Hope to hear more from her
Fun video. Reeves will get to the age where he will be exited to travel😃 My daughter started asking us to go on different trips now that she's 7. 😂Toddlers 💡. Where would the ship stop besides Bahamas?
He is already there. He loves going to new places. And is such an adventurer that he will just charge off without us!--Tasha
@@OneBigHappyLife What are the 3 stops you guys were to make? I'm curious 😁
I’ve been on a carnival cruise worst part is that when you go to the pool or water slides all you taste is salt wartsr
Water
I was on a cruise at the (almost) same time...and I was also on a 7 day cruise...and also in the Caribbean....and I was ALSO on carnival cruise.

There is so much to do on the ship even if you can't go out on deck. You don't have to stay in your room if you don't want to.--Tasha
Brenden Frasier is that you?? 😁
Could be...--Tasha
I thought the same thing haha! (when joseph made that face while drinking the cocktail!)
Joseph you always look so scared LOL!!! Why doesn't Joseph wear his wedding ring??
I have been watching many of your clips and have enjoyed all of them. Thank you!

Anywhere near Freeport? We were also supposed to go to Nassau and Princess Cays but we missed those this time.--Tasha

Thank you Peggy! That makes us so happy to hear.😊--Tasha
I'm curious how many people were on the ship? The empty pool area looks like cruise heaven. LOL
The pool was always empty that early in the morning (8:30a).--Tasha
Great video
Great video!!
Thank you!--Tasha
Beautiful family, it does look like fun and hopefully next time the weather will be better!
Fingers crossed!--Tasha
Y’all are hilarious and about to make me late for work.
😂 I hope you made it on time.--Tasha
Which ship was this ?
Carnival Pride.--Tasha
Joseph hair cut look nice
Thanks! Tasha did a great job!-Joseph
You should cruise to Bermuda. Much better than Bahamas. You'll be amazed at the beauty. I live here so I know. It's the Carnival Horizon ship.
And I bet you aren't biased at all!😜--Tasha
You guys did a good job rolling with the punches. Can’t wait for the chef’s table video
It was my favorite part of the whole cruise. So much fun!--Tasha
If he said Baltimore 😮🤭 I could seen them
Have a safe trip :))
We did, thank you!--Tasha
That beard in four Days! I wish my hair grew half that fast XD
😂 These past few weeks have been so hectic that things are all out of order.--Tasha

If Branden Fraiser and Justin Timberlake were to have a baby .... It could be Joseph.
Alexis is so beautiful
