You easily spent 25,000 to 30,000 !! Listen ,you work hard and you only get one life , I’m so happy you all enjoyed the Icon.. When we die we can’t take the money with us, so continue making memories with your family and friends… Enjoy your life to the fullest!! ❤❤❤❤
Whew that’s definitely not for my wee likkle RN salary lol. Idk when the icon seeing me with those rates …..I did hear Black Friday offers a lot of deals.
Y’all are ICONIC for showcasing the budget behind a one-of-a-kind vacation! Thank you for always being authentic and transparent in your vlogs! ❤❤❤❤ Truly the best to do it in my opinion!!
I will be going on my third cruise this summer. As an adult I have been able to travel to various countries and U. S. cities. I am so proud that more people especially us (Black people), can afford these types of vacations. As children our vacations were visiting relatives in other cities, and visiting free or less expensive attractions. As adults my family are able to take our children, and parents to places we could not afford growing up. Now our adult children are starting to travel within the U.S. and abroad. Hopefully, we have planted the seed of travel enough that they will do the same for their children.
I definitely agree! My first vacation was my honeymoon! That was my first time out of the country. Ever since I made it my business to do at least 2 vacations a year. Mixed in with 3-4 day close to home trips! My mom didn’t understand because she’s from that generation that believed vacations were for doing house chores. Took her on her first cruise which was Disney, now she’s going, going, going sometimes without me! Lol
Almost brought a tear to my eyes!!! The joy and excitement when they screamed, Like this is what you do it for, almost makes the money seem obsolete......Almost!!! Job well done Rich!!! @@aRICHandJAZZYLife
Thanks for sharing a real cost, so many of us were curious! I’m just happy you’ll was able to choose to do this cruise for your family enjoyment!!! Another thing the pre cruise cost, a lot of people forget about! For four people, on the largest cruise in the world, it could have cost a lot more, at least I thought it did cost a lot more! I’m happy for you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I luv 🤎 Reign & Royce excitement with their room and Jazzy’s surprise. Rich I know that was the feeling you wanted for your family and it was achieved. You’re the best girl dad & husband ever.
I'm still in awe over the price of this ship when compared to the rest of the Royal Carribean fleet. Even more so when compared to even Carnival's newest, biggest ships. To put things into perspective I just booked 7 staterooms (3 balcony, 4 interior) for 14 people on Carnival Mardi Gras (6-days, early summer) for $11K.
want o try the Mardi Gras or Celebration. However, the real question is, what rooms did you book? I would never pay it, but they booked a family/child friendly suite in that same area. Hot topic if you have kids.
Mardi Gras and Celebration are ok, but nothing compared to Royal. I did have a good time, but it is really nothing compared. Food, entertainment, ship, service all are so much better, why its called Royal!!
Loved this video - your girls were so excited!! It was great to meet you on Virgin in December. Icon looks great but a hard pass given the prices. You can get a week in the Haven, Retreat, Explora 1, Yacht Club or a Virgin suite for half that … and all great experiences. But I will reevaluate in a few years when prices come back to earth - looks like a great ship!
Wow, I really appreciate your honest cost review video. The Icon was definitely a once in a lifetime experience & the memories are forever. Thanks for sharing🤎
Ill pass on this ship. Beautiful...yes The price tag for some smallest room and all the extras screams...RUN Its a blessing for anyone that goes on this ship. God bless
Loved the Vlog❤❤❤❤ To be able to witness the excitement in your childs eyes is the ultimate best feeling! We live for these moments and cherish all of them!! Cheers Family 🥂 we were hunting for that champagne on boarding day lol
Thanks for sharing this information! Listen my mom always says you walk this way one time. Life is not promise to none of us tomorrow! Keep making those life time priceless memories! This is what I am doing too!
Well worth it to celebrate 100K in style. God will always provide for you and your family a thousand times + fold. Luv 🤎🤎 you guys because what you see in the vlogs is what you get and so down to earth
I would like to see a video on the least expensive way to cruise especially on ICON. That video would interest me because it’s more relatable. Include an excursion that’s fun and affordable at the same time. I got to say this is an awesome video and love your transparency for the cost of your family’s trip.
Hey guys. Happy Sunday. Ok. You setting me up for a crazy comment. 😂. I’ve been good. Reigns enthusiasm. The girls screaming on stateroom entry. Love how you’re showing the cost. Yes. Unfortunately Starbucks never included on any ship. Oh. A cost for kid camp? Oh. I get it. That was your cost for extended hours over the 7 nights. We Always get the photo package. It’s great compared to buying per pic. I mean $179.99 for all pics? Let’s go. Yessss. Celebration table. Arcade $100 but the screen said $79.98 🤷🏻♀️The supper club 🙌🏼. Playmaker’s 🙌🏼. Oh. Didn’t know Cococay had other excursions such as swimming with the pigs. Amazing ending with Izumi hibachi for Reihns birthday. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗🤎🛳️. You guys wear so many hats and grinding 24/7. Amazing vacation and well deserved 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Hey hey Cydney thanks for watching and commenting as per usual! As far as The arcade receipt showing $80 you get a discount if you purchase online in advance. But they each had $50 on their card. Yes it was an awesome cruise experience for us! Thank you so much 😊 ❤
We are getting on Jubilee in a week and internet, drink package, Hibachi are all much more affordable I had heard that Royal can nickel and dime you these days but we haven't been on Royal since before covid
If you can afford it- go for it. I am all for family travel. My kids being 11 and 13 though I just don't think its worth it. They flat-out told me they would rather go to Alaska. So we are going Aug 2025 for my son's 13th birthday. I booked to conceive balcony rooms (Celebrity). My package included wifi and drinks. It is just under 14,000. But we go on trips maybe 2 times a year (by plane) and maybe 1 more to the NJ shore.
See your kids know how to show excitement and appreciation. I’d spend $12,000 for a room and my kids would probably just walk in and say “oh, it’s nice”. I’d wanna make them sleep outside…. 😂😂
Hey Guys!! That is my yearly budget for vacations. I am on the Disney Treasure in early January 2025!! I enjoy seeing parents traveling with their children no matter the cost. I travel with my son as much as I can. Creating Memories!!
It’s hard to determine if an experience is “worth” the price we pay…. I say if you can afford it do it. We all work hard and deserve to play hard. The excitement the kids displayed, the special times you share as family and couple make it worth it in my opinion. ~YOLO LITERALLY! I will always support that. ❤❤❤ ~Yolanda
My wife will NEVER allow me (us) to drop that kind of loot on a cruise so forgive me if i live vicariously through y'alls experiences! Beautiful family, happy bday little one, and great experiences! Sail on! True bucket list stuff :)
$12k for your room? When did you book? I booked a Suite and only paid $8500. That was for 2 adults and 2 kids. Booked shortly after it was open when announced.
SOOOO from beginning to end you spent well over 20k. 🤯🤯. It's making memories. I get it. But DAMN!! for seven days and only visiting the Caribbean. My opinion...it's definitely not worth it. But the kids will remember it FOREVER!!! that's what's important
Lawd Jeebus! Where is the Jennifer Lewis fainting GIF it is needed for this price tag! It’s hefty but I agree with others that say if you can afford it it’s worth its value in the incredible memories! ❤❤
Finally, a vlog that actually gives us prices and not just say "it's expensive". VERY helpful 🤑💰💵💸💳💲
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting!
You easily spent 25,000 to 30,000 !! Listen ,you work hard and you only get one life , I’m so happy you all enjoyed the Icon.. When we die we can’t take the money with us, so continue making memories with your family and friends… Enjoy your life to the fullest!! ❤❤❤❤

Yeah the price tag was tagging 😂 thank you so much ☺️
Same!!! I just sent a screenshot to my daughter 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kids' reactions alone worth every penny

GOALS!!!! I would LOVE to get to a point that I can drop that much on vacation for my family. Thank you for the Inspiration!!!
You can do it! Thanks so much 😃
That room walk in gave me chills! The excitement reminded me of Christmas morning!
Right?! Glad they appreciated it! Definitely a core memory ❤
Almost brought a tear to my eyes!!! The joy and excitement when they screamed, Like this is what you do it for, almost makes the money seem obsolete......Almost!!! Job well done Rich!!! @@aRICHandJAZZYLife
I follow that channel ❤️❤️
I want to go on Icon Of The Seas so bad but I will wait a few years lol when the prices hopefully go down.
This was such a neat idea. A video with true costs. Great job!
Thanks so much!
Jasmine you really know how to coordinate those outfits.
Thank you!

I miss taking my son to the kids club and knowing exactly where he is. Ughhh I hated when he aged out of the kids clubs.
I would like to see a video on the least expensive way to cruise especially on ICON. That video would interest me because it’s more relatable. Include an excursion that’s fun and affordable at the same time. I got to say this is an awesome video and love your transparency for the cost of your family’s trip.

Oh, my gosh. The red dresses shot is dramatic!
❤❤❤❤
Worth every penny
I just love the double R girls!! ❤
Thank you!
Great video. Wow that's expensive. Your daughters are so well behaved. Where did you get that stunning white dress?
I have noticed that gratuity is included in prices pre booking. They do always add it to the bill onboard, but what's another 10%
Yall need to cruise NORWEGIAN in the HAVEN. THE BEST!
Yes we will try the Haven eventually ❤
Blessings!!
Thank you!
Those prices are insane. Even at 8k or 6k it’s a hard no for me.
It's still that bad too, same for Star
I’d rather do an all inclusive resort on land for half that.
It’s hard to determine if an experience is “worth” the price we pay…. I say if you can afford it do it. We all work hard and deserve to play hard. The excitement the kids displayed, the special times you share as family and couple make it worth it in my opinion. ~YOLO LITERALLY! I will always support that. ❤❤❤ ~Yolanda

Lawd, I'm at 3 minutes and the price tag is already $12,440.....I'm bought ready to pass out.
😂😂😂 let me hold you up sis so you can watch the rest 😂
Jazzy I can’t 😂😂😂😂😂
SOOOO from beginning to end you spent well over 20k. 🤯🤯. It's making memories. I get it. But DAMN!! for seven days and only visiting the Caribbean. My opinion...it's definitely not worth it. But the kids will remember it FOREVER!!! that's what's important
Yea thanks to CZcams too, they will definitely remember it lol

😆😆😆
WOW. Looks like you all had a nice time. Way too expensive for this old retired guy and his wife.
Hey y'all!!
Hey! Happy Sunday!
Yall made me cry yet again! May the Lord continuously bless you and keep you💕🙏🏾@@aRICHandJAZZYLife
