That thing is huge! As you're coming aboard my initial impression is that it's like a cross between a giant floating shopping mall and the Las Vegas strip 🙂 I'm sure people have a great time, but oh boy, it's way too crowded for me. P.S. Hi mom!
We just took a trip with my Mom as well! We are so glad you got a chance to cruise with her. That ship is HUGE, but it does offer alot of beauty throughout! Thanks for taking us along Traveling Robert! 😊
Thanks for this video. I have never been on a cruise and your video show what to expect. I don't know if I would like it since there is way too many people. Good video.
Just go on one, like I did earlier this year. We loved the experience and met really nice people, and was very well treated by the entire crew. The veiws of the ocean from the balcony while sipping coffe can't be put into words. Then we had to come home. But we booked another for next year!
I think this will be my ultimate dream vacation...We've never been on a cruise vacation although always wanted to at least once. Thanks for sharing Robert...
My family and I were just on the carnival magic 3 weeks ago. Our first cruise and we were very happy on the magic. The icon is definitely next level X 10. Very impressive!
Great comments at the end. Well said! It’s not for me but it looks like a fun time. At my age I would rather be in a quiet place watching the nature and the sun go down at my on pace. Happy and safe travels!
I honestly never considered a cruise until watching this. The theater and the water show looked pretty amazing, and I love live music too, especially the reggae and jazz. Would be quite a trip to do all that stuff on a boat! What a ship! I was thinking the same that a cruise is sort of the opposite of RV travel, so I was surprised to see this. Thanks for producing it. (Royal Caribbean should be paying you royalties). Great stuff as always!
This was a fun adventure. Traveling Robert and the fam in Mexico for a day trip. The interesting aspect is seeing Traveling Robert out of his element, not driving the ship and in a very large and crowded ship, Everybody knows He prefers to be away from crowds and in very isolated places.
Thank you for this video. Most of the cruising videos on RUclips are of partying and more for the younger generations. I may take a cruise yet. Bucket list.
Looks like you and me have the same feelings about cruises. Not to mention their norovirus problems and one day one of those things is going to make a great dive site. Greetings to the 305 from the 904! Found your channel watching your Lewis and Clark series, which I thoroughly enjoyed and hope to do myself one day.
I just watched your video of the cruise my first impression was wow way to many people on that ship. It was good to see your mom, she looks wonderful and your wife. We do love cruising but prefer the smaller ships without the “malls” go on a cruise to get away from that. I am happy you did it for your mom. We like RV travel also but lost our rv about 4 years ago through no fault of ours. Now looking to buy a new one.
That was awesome Me. Robert. My wife and I love cruising. We haven't teied RVing yet, but you make it look amazing. Thank you for the cruise ship video it was fun...🍻👍
I Love seeing Mom-She is adorable❤Well -I have always resisted going on a cruise and this didn’t change my mind -To many many people -I don’t get the appeal 🤷♀️
It's a 'vacation in box'. We've done several cruises, including two this year with our parents, but we enjoy RVing so much more. Cruising is far too fast with far too many people onboard. You get to savor a place, if you want to, when you're RVing. And the food on the cruises gets old quickly.
I may try a cruise sometime. I would probably want one that stops in port every day and which has more to see in each port. Maybe a Mediterranean cruise would be good for that? Anyway, it's not always easy to find that perfect balance on vacation between relaxation and fun or not crowded but then also having convenience of food and entertainment options nearby
🌅🛳🌊 Gotta take motion 💊 first so you don't get motion sickness. Hey👋Momma Roberts. The 🚢 looked more a 5🌟 🏨 🛏 inside . I would've gotten lost trying to find my own way back to my room 😂
We just sailed on Icon at the end of October - and I'll be honest with you, our cruise was a lot less crowded and was probably a lot more fun! LOL! All kidding aside, you looked like you had a blast!
At the Dualing Pianos bar is where I would be! 🎶 Did the guests sing along? Thanks for showing us the Icon of the Seas and the Mexican ports. I’d rather be at the Virgin Islands. 🏝️
Great video Robert! We take a cruise once a year to break it up a bit and do something different. My son enjoys them alot. We use RCL exclusively but have found that with the larger ships the quality of customer service has suffered . Unfortunately , they have let the conditions of their smaller (older) fleet decay a bit so u are left having to chose between both. Either way, looks like ur mom had a great time !
We couldn't agree more with your take on cruising, Robert. We've been on two cruises just this year, also with our parents, and while both were lots of fun, cruising doesn't hold a candle to RVing for us. Going where we want to go, when we want to go, eating what we want to eat, etc., is far better than a 'vacation in a box'.
Yeah but you can’t go to these destinations in an RV and you also can’t compare the two either. While I respect his opinion it’s two different things. I personally love cruises it’s a unique form of vacationing that offers a lot for the price you pay.
Glad your Mom enjoyed the trip. Too many people for me. I have been on large cruise ships and several small cruise trips. The small ones are much more to my liking.
I’ll stick with Regent Seven Seas if I want to cruise which I don’t. About 10 years ago, I was at a resort in Mexico. I saw some dudes at the swim-up bar who didn’t leave for several hours. So, no chance I’m going to those bars.
Guests pack a separate carry-on bag with their swimsuits. Their luggage may not be delivered to their room until dinner time. If you get on board at noon, why not head to the pool?

P.S. Hi mom!
So sweet of you, and Illy to take your Mom on a trip ❤
Nice pictures. It's always nice to spend time with our mothers.
Thank you all for the video on the Icon of the sea. Great video. Mom looks great. Glad lily's shoulder is better. ❤
Ohhh, that sea of people, Robert! 😂
Nice video. Glad mom had a good time. She looked very happy.
Must be awesome for your mom , just to many people for me either way enjoy your cruise
*too
I love cruising!! People hate on it haha. I like the smaller/older ships with less people however.
We just took a trip with my Mom as well! We are so glad you got a chance to cruise with her. That ship is HUGE, but it does offer alot of beauty throughout! Thanks for taking us along Traveling Robert! 😊
thank you for the wonderful video Robert

Hello Traveling Robert, thanks for so much for this amazing great time!
You're welcome
I think this will be my ultimate dream vacation...We've never been on a cruise vacation although always wanted to at least once. Thanks for sharing Robert...
That was so great to have so much entertainment. And Music everywhere you went. That is where I'd be...where the music was with a cocktail.
Wonderful video!! Someday I would like to travel on Icon of the Seas. Love all your videos.
Your mom looked so pretty and happy.
Great video, please do some more magic 🪄 city 🌃 Miami videos, there is so much in this world 🌎 famous city.
Id love to go on a cruise, the food and entertainment looks amazing! Great video!
Thanks for taking us with you !!! So glad you took your mom
Love our city Miami
What a beautiful ship 🛳️. Thanks for sharing Robert
I wish my mom, Momma LV, would go on a cruise. You're a good son, Robert.
My family and I were just on the carnival magic 3 weeks ago. Our first cruise and we were very happy on the magic.

It was fun, for a week.

This is going to be a awesome video capt traveling robert and 1st to like

Hope you find a new RV
That was a great explanation at the end.
I’ve thought about a cruise, but with such a tight schedule, I’m not sure if I’d enjoy it,
Great video!!
Thanks!
The video sequence is great, good job.
Great job
Those jugglers are th best entertainment on that ship
That was awesome Me. Robert. My wife and I love cruising. We haven't teied RVing yet, but you make it look amazing. Thank you for the cruise ship video it was fun...🍻👍
Intense! * Thanks!
Thank you Robert for the video of the cruise. I physically and financially could never do a cruise so this was wonderful !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Nothing like the quiet silence of the countryside and your own noise 🇬🇧🇬🇧
❤ Great music
Looks like a great time ❤❤
This use to be my choice of vacation until I got an RV five years ago. We were on Harmony in June and felt the same as you.
I Love seeing Mom-She is adorable❤Well -I have always resisted going on a cruise and this didn’t change my mind -To many many people -I don’t get the appeal 🤷♀️

Very nice! I've never been on a cruise but this looks fun.
Wow looks amazing
That ship was built in Turku 🇫🇮. Tero
I saw the sign somewhere. Cool.
I may try a cruise sometime. I would probably want one that stops in port every day and which has more to see in each port. Maybe a Mediterranean cruise would be good for that? Anyway, it's not always easy to find that perfect balance on vacation between relaxation and fun or not crowded but then also having convenience of food and entertainment options nearby
After having done several cruises, we haven't found any of them to truly be relaxing. The pace is too fast, and the time in each port is too short.
🌅🛳🌊 Gotta take motion 💊 first so you don't get motion sickness. Hey👋Momma Roberts. The 🚢 looked more a 5🌟 🏨 🛏 inside . I would've gotten lost trying to find my own way back to my room 😂
Mini-tinnie must have been REALLY JEALOUS!!!
Excellent cruise Robert!
Thank you!

@@leslieochoa88 Yes, it's true that you can't take an RV to many cruise destinations, but the inverse is true as well.
Too many people and too much noise for me.
You should try a cruise. It really is enjoyable.
Agree!
My same experience, I couldn't sleep either too noisy
I prefer smaller ships, like on Viking.
@@GLove-t5bWas your room under the nightclub???
Glad your Mom enjoyed the trip. Too many people for me. I have been on large cruise ships and several small cruise trips. The small ones are much more to my liking.
Nice to have some time to take a cruise. Not my type of ship to be on, too many people, too much going on. Best part obviously is the food...
Nice, we enjoy vacation in Anfi del Mar )
Thanks
OMG, too many people and all this noises
The best time for Caribbean cruises is late winter to mid spring.
I’ll stick with Regent Seven Seas if I want to cruise which I don’t. About 10 years ago, I was at a resort in Mexico. I saw some dudes at the swim-up bar who didn’t leave for several hours. So, no chance I’m going to those bars.
"were getting on the grandest ship in the world" Famous last words😅
Ship made in Finland !
Yes, Turku
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Enjoyed your great video and especially your sweet Mom. But oh no, just hell no! That ship looks like hell on earth! Yikes!
I think its time for you to publish a book, Free In My RV, Do(s) Don't(s); or Complete Idiot Guide of Being Free In My RV, etc etc etc
I would buy it!
This has to be your worst nightmare spending time on a floating all you can eat resort….
❤❤❤
The Love Boat: The Morales' Edition
🚢
Nice video. It confirms crusing is not for me. No place to escape the crowds and the ports are tacky tourist traps.
Wow those people on all the cruise ships going out were already stripped down to their bathing suits and hadn't even left port yet.
I think they arrived in bathing suits :-D
Guests pack a separate carry-on bag with their swimsuits. Their luggage may not be delivered to their room until dinner time. If you get on board at noon, why not head to the pool?
You’re better off staying on the ship at Cozumel.
Too many people on those large ships. I prefer the smaller cruise ships.
That new elevator system is garbage. Be waiting 4ever sometimes.
Way to crowded
That is a party boat. It is not family oriented.
hey Robert I watch you in TÜRKİYE İstanbul pleas com my city
Disgusting. Thats a Bunker on Water, not a Ship and Way toooooo many People.
Eastern Caribbean isn’t that great.
Ho Robert I’m a results on your channel. Frankly it’s not your kind as you don’t drive to show me so much of places.
?
Too long and boring…
Yes, three days would have been enough
