Backyard Beach and Beyond

Добавлен 16 апр 2018
Follow our adventures as the family VLOG shares what we're up to in our local "backyard" and our many trips traveling beyond. We like to take cruises and try to go on them when we can and also explore the local area wherever we go. If we can learn something along the way we figure why not pass it along to you. And, if the name Backyard, Beach and Beyond is too much to digest then just call it Triple B and give us a like and subscribe. After all, the kids need to pay for college somehow ;) Remember, the experience is what you make it. Enjoy!
Wonder of the Seas - What to do on a Sea Day - ziplines, slides and shows
It's a sea day on Royal Caribbean's cruise ship Wonder of the Seas and there is no shortage of things to do! Join our VLOG as we take in as much as we can from sun up to well past sundown on this Oasis Class ship. It is formal night so we'll show you what we are wearing and hopefully answer some questions there. The day however starts off in the fitness center and then onto the jogging track. What a view from the aft of the ship! We stroll through the poll deck mid-day and chill for a bit in the solarium. But then it's game on in terms of food and adventures. We ate a ridiculous variety of food on this day. And, we also did some cool things such as the Ultimate Abyss slide and Zip-lining....

What kind of drink package did you guys buy?
Do you recommend the waterpark? I have two boys, 7 and 9....
Love Amy’s black pant suit!! Love your channel!
Does Amy have a link to her swim cover up dress from this video? :) Thank you!
Here's what Amy says... Got it at Cupshe....here is the link. Tell her to size up if she wants it loose. It was too fitted for my liking but still super cute and comfy. www.cupshe.com/products/knit-sleeveless-cutout-mini-cover-up-dress-CAA07B4C045GG Hope that helps!
@@BackyardBeachandBeyond Thank you!!
This was perfect for us! We will be going on our first cruise on wonder of the Seas (our first cruise ever)! Thanks for such an informative blog!
That's great. You are going to have a blast with this ship as your first! Thanks for watching!
Great video! How much was total parking?
Thanks for watching. I checked my receipt. For the 7 day cruise it was $145.52 to park.
I have a question for your wife. Thanks in advance. Did she notice if the public women’s restrooms have a hook on the inside of the stall doors? I have been on some of RC oasis ships that do not have them. I find it frustrating when I need to hang my bag and no hooks are available. I am trying not to overpack for my next cruise on Wonder very soon. I truly appreciate your informative vlogs. All of the tips and info that you suddenly remember while taking us along are total gems to me. Most of the vloggers I have watched through the years forget to tell/remind us of all this stuff. Please don’t change your style. PS You and your wife are awesome parents. Your children are truly blessed. But especially you dad, you are the laid back go with the flow kind of dad I wish I had had. I tried to be the same kind of mom to my (now 31 year old) daughter as you both are to your children. Keep bringing us all of your informative beginnings to ends vlogs. Really appreciated the parking vlogs too!
Wow, I can't thank you enough for the flattering comments. Reading your words really meant a lot. We just kind of try and capture the moment with the VLOGs so I'm glad you enjoy that. It's so tough to not over pack. It seems like I always do. In terms of your restroom question Amy says she doesn't recall if there are hooks or not to tell you the truth. She doesn't remember having a purse or bag to hang, so I'm sorry we don't have the answer. I hope you have a wonderful cruise coming up!
Oh my goodness, I can’t wait to spend some time in that store. Thanks for sharing.
It's a cool place. Thanks for watching!
About time! My wife and I were waiting for the next video to drop! Leaving on Wonder tomorrow morning! Great videos.
No doubt you will have a blast on your cruise. Enjoy! I wish I could have gotten this one out quicker but had a lot going on in day to day life. Thanks for waiting and watching though!
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber , awesome video as we are going on this ship in December. Thanks😊
You will have a blast!
Great video. How much was the breezy bay daybed?
Just looked it up. Amy paid $329 for the daybed, but she got that price really early, almost a year before we sailed. By the time we sailed the daybeds were about $500. The price never went lower after she initially booked it.
i use a roller wheelie to assist my walking, are the distances a far walk?
it all just depends on where you want to go. if you’re going from forward on the ship all the way to the aft it’s a good distance. After all, Wonder is just about 4 football fields long!
Fantastic video! Thank you for bringing us along with you. I’ll cruise Canaveral next time (I’m from Jacksonville). Miami is just too far.
Watching all of your videos and YES!! Please do a video about cameras and filming stuff. I’m not necessarily looking to be a RUclipsr, but we are going on our first family cruise next May and I want to get some good footage. Not sure if I should get a go pro or something else. Costco has the 11 for a decent price. I want something pretty sturdy and can get wet. Would love to snorkel and try and get some good shots at cococay.
I'm not even sure where to start 😉 For the record I'm certainly no expert but even since I shot that video things have advanced. I now also have a Dji Pocket Osmo 3 which is outstanding for low light. Although it really hates the LED lights in the MDR (still haven't figured that one out yet). The down side is the Pocket Osmo is not waterproof at all. In fact I didn't and won't even take out in sandy situations (left it on the ship at CocoCay). A GoPro is solid but in low light they struggle (we still use the 11 but the 12 I hear has the same issues - it's related to hyper smooth) . You can change settings but it's still a bit of a struggle for the camera. In bright sunshine, a GoPro is great. I'd be tempted to look at the Osmo action as well. It's kind of a situation of "having the right tool for the right job".
@@BackyardBeachandBeyond very helpful, thank you! Costco has the hero 11 bundle for 289 so I might just start there and practice a bit. I have heard alot of great things about the pocket 3!
You have a love of cruising just like me. I'm really enjoying your video. We were on the Symphony sailing back to back with our adult son and saw the same rocket launch from the Symphony. We also had two bump out cabins on deck 12. Our first week. I should buy gimbal for my camera. You would love to sail back to back so you could film the empty ship. Looking forward to watching more of your channel. I posted a few videos on you tube.
Awesome. What a coincidence that you were on Symphony that day. We'll certainly check out your channel 👍
I'll be on that ship next week, I loved your videos
Totally appreciate the kind words and you watching! Have a great trip. And, if Ravi is working the Vue bar, he is the best!
this video was really helpful. i’ll be going on the wonder in 2025 and i’ve been binging these kinds of videos and this one was definitely one of the best i’ve seen so far. you and amy seem like very kind and genuine people. keep up the great work!
Thank You! We totally appreciate that. The videos are fun to do and we do the same thing ahead of our cruises. We watch as much as we can just to get ideas and tips. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great cruise!
Thanks for the video. Brings back memories. Oh. The tip about the luggage being delivered to the GENERAL area of your room was good. My last cruise I had an Owner's suite and I found my bag was about four doors down. I thought for the hoity toity suite guests at least would have their bags delivered next to their rooms. Go figure.
Appreciate you watching. I guess I'm ok with the bags being in the "general" area... I'm just happy that my bags make the voyage! 😉
Thanks for the tips.
was the slide super slow
I got stuck. Like stopped completely. Amy said she was really slow. But moved. The kids didn’t seem to have a problem. I’m referencing the blue slide. The orange “bowl” slide wasn’t really too much of an issue.
Amy is 100% correct. It looks exactly like intestines one person’s heart is another person’s garbage.😂
Obviously, you knew what I meant. Art not heart. Lol
She loves your comment! Thanks for watching!
@@BackyardBeachandBeyond love your channel.I want to take my first cruise soon and it’s helping me a lot to watch you guys explain things.
I love Perkin’s Cove! We live in Massachusetts and go to York Beach a lot for vacations and day trips throughout summer. Looks like you guys had an awesome day at Coco Cay!
Small world! Yes, that part of Maine is a favorite of ours. CocoCay is always a good visit.
Rule thumb only dress code for wind jammer is shorts and shirt and shoes. So if bathing suit is covered it not a big deal.
Awesome! Now I don't feel that bad about it 😉 Thanks.
Great video! I will be sailing on my first Oasis class ship, Utopia, in October and it will be my first time leaving out of Port Canaveral. This video has added to my excitement. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching. Enjoy Utopia!
great video! haven't been on a oasis class ship yet but wanting to go on Wonder next year. Thanks for the content. very informative. super cool family.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, we're itching to get back on a ship already. We would do Wonder all over again in the blink of an eye.
Love the video! Were gonna be on wonder in November. we cant wait. Its going to be our first Oasis class ship as well. BTW, when you said you felt bad about missing out on getting the model ship when you were on Mariner, I felt that in my soul! lol. I literally had the exact same issue. I missed out on the same model on that ship as well. I posted about it on the Mariner Galveston FB page and someone on board offered to get it for me and ship it to my house. I sent them the money on Venmo and the ship showed up at my house a week later. It was so worth it to cure my FOMO lol. I just subscribed to see day 2! Hopefully you can give us a follow back as were a new channel and just starting out with our first Vlogged adventure in Nov! Thank you!
That's awesome that you got the Mariner model. Glad to hear it worked out. I'd be so nervous they I'd send the money and then nothing would come. For sure we'll give you a follow. Thank you for watching! (BTW sorry for the late reply - crazy work/life balance right now)
Such a cool vlog. Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
Is it coincidence 36:00 or does it look like your head is under the party hat in the mirror? Also when you talk about Giovanni's at 40:20, I had one of my best meals at Giovanni's on Allure. But Giovanni's on Utopia is different. It's more of a bistro that serves pizza and light food, not a full restaurant like on the other Oasis ships.
🤣 Good catch. Totally unintentional. Amy caught that as well and had a good laugh!
going on my first cruise next week, this was very helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Glad it helped. Have fun!
From Fayetteville, NC. Just found you guys. You’re a natural at RUclips. You guys are going to get a good viewing on RUclips in the future I can tell.
Appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Omg, I can’t believe the scale of it. Totally agree that that sculpture between the elevators look intestines.
Omg your North Carolina friends are adorable.
I can’t believe you met fans from Charlotte!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very informative 😊 thank you
Appreciate the nice comment. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video!!
Our pleasure. We remember our first cruise and we had no idea what to expect. Thanks for watching!
Holy hell!
Hello everyone. Great VLOG Greg. Made me feel like I was going on the cruise with all of you . Dad
I really appreciate a video of the process of getting on the ship! Good to know
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for showing the menu! Geez it’s so expensive here. I never seem to get past Hudson’s for lunch when we are driving over from Bluffton. 😊 the restaurant is beautiful though. Wish more tourists wore helmets like you guys! Biking around Hilton head (outside of Sea Pines) can be crazy.
Man your Vlog got me so excited, i felt like I was going on vacation with you, I’m super pumped up for Wonder of the sea, me and the wife are boarding November 3rd , i can’t wait, hope you all enjoyed
Thanks for the watch! We loved the ship and I'm sure you will too. Hang in there with the countdown. That final week seems like it takes forever to arrive.
Enjoy your vacation, but don't forget to vote!
That would be cool if you guys do : Newest carnival ships , like Carnival Mardi Gras - port Canaveral OR Carnival Celebration - Port Miami. ( Good food options include / Good Entertainment with Comedy most every evening - Family , Adult comedy / & other. )
Good idea. We only get so much PTO per year though. We'll put it on the list 👍
@@BackyardBeachandBeyond , Thanks. 🛳️🛳️🛳️
Spooky man!

Curious on what cruise you went on We loved your independence of the seas videos and book one last year Thanks for the videos
We went on Wonder of the Seas. First ever time on an Oasis Class ship. Was awesome! Vlogs from that coming very soon! Thanks for watching!
We set sail on Indy in 32 days! 5 year anniversary trip 🎉
Awesome! Congrats!
Filming inside the Harbour Town clubhouse! That was bold. I’m surprised they didn’t throw you out the front window Axel Foley style.
HA! I know, right?! I would have said I was doing it for my twin daughters "Monique & Unique" :)
About to take the kids. My son loves calamari
Have fun! We plan to be back later this summer.
Thanks for this! We will be in HHI tomorrow. Staying in Shipyard 😎
