We are pumped to get to be the very first people ever to stay on this brand new ship.

We discovered the world of β€œtravel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;) So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a β€œone year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to β€œnormal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time! After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are in our 10TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer :) We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊πŸŽ₯🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey! 00:00 Star of the Seas 01:15 Day 1 Boarding the ship 02:15 Sunset corner suite tour!! 06:00 First meal onboard Coastal Kitchen 08:17 Millennial dance party 09:40 Day 2 FULL SHIP TOUR! 30:11 tallest waterslide at sea 34:18 Formal night/Hibachi dinner 35:40 Day 3 Marking off our to do list 36:51 corn hole tournament 38:13 Flow Rider 38:46 Putt putt tournament 39:50 biggest swim up bar at sea 40:19 outdoor running track 41:03 Cococay private island 41:58 Tallest waterslide in US 43:25 Caribbean night/ 44:38 Karaoke! 45:47 Bloops!
