Creator's Key Takeaways

Getting to bring our family on board was awesome and it was really great to be able to show them our home here on the sea.

He loves what we do and it always really means the world to me and to him to be able to share that together.

This is an amazing souvenir to have for all of us because for us to be able to have this moment to of something that we get to share with one another even when we are miles apart.

Hearing Ben say that one of his favorite things was getting to watch us perform reminds me why we do what we do.

YouTube Video Description

June 22 - June 28, 2025 After months of working at sea as Cruise Ship Musicians, we finally got to welcome our family onboard the Carnival Vista — and it was unforgettable. ❤️ From Half Moon Cay to Grand Turk to Amber Cove, this week was full of laughter, live music, and a reminder of why we do what we do. As cruise ship musicians, it’s not easy being away from home, but moments like this make it all worth it. Watch as my son Ben (plus Pamela & Gavin!) experience ship life — from water slides and beach days to watching our shows and meeting the crew. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like balancing family life and cruise ship life, this is one you won’t want to miss.
