We Boarded THE LARGEST CRUISE SHIP IN THE WORLD (Wonder of the Seas)

We are about to board the newest, biggest cruise ship in the world. The Wonder of the Seas. This thing is so big. It has 18 decks and to get from the top all the way to the bottom, you can take a slide. Oh my gosh, Steve, I'm shaking. They even have water slides. This thing is so big. Walked into a shopping center, Steve. This is a mall, not a cruise ship. So there are 20 restaurants on this ship and I don't know how we're going to see them all. And yes, this is a dessert. Hey, we're Stephen, Jess and Hunter. A little family from Australia who just completed our massive dream of driving around our home country of Australia in a little van. After a year of living in our tiny home, we packed up our life into suitcases and jumped on a one-way ticket to Europe. With our first stop, Italy. So our seven-night Mediterranean cruise leaves right here from Rome, the capital of Italy. But don't let the brochures deceive you. The port is actually an hour away. So we've got a bit of a trek to do. First of all, we need to make our way down to the port. I forgot how small the elevators in Europe are. So to get to the port from Rome, it's about two hours on the train, 50 minutes on a transfer. Thank you. This thing is so big. I see people already in the pool. Do you see them? I'm so excited. This is going to be so good. Looks like we've got to walk into a shopping center. We've walked into a shopping center, Steve. This is the mall, not a cruise ship. Okay, before we go see our rooms, we're on a cruise. We need to go see everyone's favorite bit, the buffet. This is amazing. Oh my God. Look like a whole vegetarian section there, Steve. Look at all this bread. Is it a lot of bread? You want some of that? Of course, Hunter spots the celebratory cupcakes. Okay, Hunter, you can have a little bit. A little cupcake and some fruit. Are you so happy? Seeing as we're still in Italy, may as well have one more little bit of pasta. But the pasta's like a whole pasta station. So you choose the pasta, you choose the sauce, they cook all the veggies or meat that you like, and they cook it all in front of you fresh. And there's like a salad bar. I just made myself a whole sea of salad. No more cupcakes, Papa. Okay, this is the only time on this week that we can say, we skipped breakfast because we knew what we were coming into. This is a very good buffet, Steve. Okay, let's see what our room looks like. Ready? One, two, three. Beep. Go. Oh my gosh, this is so nice. You see, we have a whole couch. We have a whole lounge room. This is so nice. So we booked a balcony room. Amazing. Oh, should we sit down and relax sometimes? You pull these out. There you go. Then you come sit up here, preferably with a coffee or a cocktail. Ah, nice. We all know what's about to happen. Shoes off. Test out the bed. Off you go. Here we go. One, two, three. Hide and seek. The jumping has turned into hide and seek these days. Under the pillow. Go, go, go. Jump in. Go. And. Where could Hunter be? No, wait a minute. Who's the pillow monster? Peek-a-boo. Ah, peek-a-boo. If there's Hunter, want to jump on the bed. Doo-dah, doo-dah. If there's Hunter, want to jump on the bed. Doo-dah, doo-dah. Let's see what the bathroom looks like. Look at this. Hunter, look, we have a shower. Does our ship have a shower? Hello, Hunter. It just shocks me that they can build things like this. Like, we are on a massive floating hotel. Like, if you looked at me right now, you wouldn't think that I'm on a hotel, right? Does it just look like a seven-year-old shower? Bye. So, Hunter is currently having her afternoon nap. And I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to chill on our balcony. The weather at the moment is so beautiful here in Europe. And it just feels so special to be back. I've always dreamt about coming to Europe on a family holiday and taking Hunter on a cruise through some countries that even Stephen and I haven't properly explored before. So exciting, but just really, really happy. Are you going to count us down? Go! Hunter, look what's behind us. There is a merry-go-round. I don't think Hunter's actually been on a merry-go-round before, hey? And there is ziplining. It looks so scary, Steve. You have to zipline so hard. Oh my gosh, there's so much to do here. Look at her. She was so confused. Huh? Does Hunter want to do that? No. Do you know what Daddy's about to do? Daddy's about to fly. Do you want to watch him? Bye, Dada. How have I been on this ship for one hour and I've already ziplined? Hunter, did our bags come? I feel like my favorite part about cruising is that we're in this room for eight days, which means we get to unpack. Are we in a little cubby house? And I've got green and white and red. All right, we're about to sail away and I feel like we cannot sail away without a couple of cocktails. Caribbean Mule. And the place was called Lime and Coconut, so I had to get the Lime and Coconut. Oh, that's good. It's like a pina colada. Oh, that's good too. Which one do I want? So we've got our cocktails, we are sailing away and first thing that we are doing is we're going to watch the show that we've heard all about. It is an amazing water show and this one is very exciting. This is so cool. This is the only water show at sea that you can see. I've got high expectations for this one. And we're in the theater right at the back of the ship. There is currently a tightrope walker walking right above our head. So much fun. Jumping so high, weren't they? That show was unreal. Yeah, it was so good. It was like girl power. Bunch of girls doing the coolest tricks ever. Jumping from so high. Tightrope walking. That was a really good show, huh? That was a really good start. I didn't know what to expect, but wow. What a unique show to watch on a cruise ship too. Like the stage was water. Very cool. Hello, mama. Hello, baby. How do you sleep in it? So we've just woken up bright and early and have arrived in Naples. And today we're going to two places in Italy that I've always wanted to go to. How was your sleep? Your first night on the cruise ship? What did you dream about? You dreamt about eating. Welcome to the Amalfi Coast. This is a spot we have always dreamed of coming to. So today we decided let's head out on a day trip and check out probably one of the most iconic, most beautiful spots here in Italy. And we found out that they produce a lot of lemons here. Hence why we have some limoncello. First time trying it. Let's try it. It smells so fresh. Oh, it's stronger than I thought. Oh, that is good. That'd be good as like in a cocktail. Do you want to try a little bit? Lemon chocolate. It was honestly such a stunning drive out here from Naples. As we slowly drove through the city to just be presented with these little towns on sheer drop cliffs. It's so cool. It's made me definitely want to come back here and stay here, but it's definitely made me realize that we are never driving here. The roads are crazy, but wow, what an amazing drive. Today definitely shows why. You go and see the major cities like Rome, but also the beauty of the country is far away. Especially in this case along the coastal towns. So cool. How they've just built these buildings into the side of the mountains. Look how big that lemon is. It's the size of your head, bubba. Wow. Thank you. Yeah. When in a mouthy. You want the blue spoon? Lemon sorbet. Ready? Do you like it? Can mommy try? That is so good for you. You blue. Can you hold this one? Does daddy have orange? Yeah. This is so good. Very good. It's like the best sorbet I've ever had. And also just look at the casual view just behind you. What a place. I know, I feel like I need to get one. Let's see what it looks like. Do you think this size? Oh, let's see. Yeah, this is so cute. Okay, yes, we'll grab that babe. She's so cute. Okay, we may have come to a mouthy just to eat, but we ended up being in the bus for, I think three hours, was it? Because of the traffic. So we're all a little bit hungry. And of course we've had dessert first for some reason. And now we're having mains. And I found a little local spot that was selling $2 pizza. And you're ready to see what they consider a slice of pizza. Look how big these are. Fresh, hot margarita pizza. I love Italy. Want to taste Hunter? Good one. So we took the bus into the town of Amalfi and Amalfi coast. And now to head back, we are catching a boat, which I'm guessing is going to be the most beautiful way to see these coastal towns, is from the sea. This is going to be such a beautiful afternoon. So we've driven the Amalfi coast and now we're going to be seeing it by a little boat. So this afternoon we're exploring an ancient ruin that I've always wanted to come to. Welcome to Pompeii. Back in 79 AD, Mount Vesurius erupted. And I think you all have heard of what happened here in Pompeii. You guys are probably wondering, Romans, kind of smart people. Why would they have built a city so close to an active volcano? Well, back then they had no idea it was a volcano because it was green. It was luscious. They just thought it was a mountain. Great to grow crops on. And then yeah, the eruption happened. We're currently walking on the original preserved streets from 2000 years ago. You can even see the markings of the chariots that would come through this road. I think that people stepped on this. So this was the crosswalk. They built their streets starting at the top of the hill and down to the bottom. So then water would flow down to the bottom. And then this here was the crosswalk. So if there was water, you don't get wet. We've just come inside one of the houses and it is so grand. It is two stories. We can see the 2000 year old paint. Incredible columns. I would guess someone was very wealthy that lived here. You see like actual paintings. Quick history lesson. What happened is in 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted for three days. And during those three days, ash covered the city and buried the inhabitants within. And then it perfectly preserved it for thousands and thousands of years until an archeologist came by and started uncovering this city. 80 AD was when the Colosseum happened. So a lot happened in history in those couple of years. I don't know about you guys, but when I first heard about Pompeii, I thought it was maybe a city built right around the volcano. And you're like, okay, I can see why that happened. But no, that's Mount Vesuvius just there. That's a decent way away. So you can just see how far this ash traveled onto the city. So we've done like a little bit of Italy, but coming through Pompeii, walking around these streets, this has got to be the closest. Actually walking around, feeling like how the ancient Romans lived. I can see just how close quarters the streets were. Walk through the houses, see the perfect marble sculptures intact. We even saw the ash that covered the city and covered the victims of Mount Vesuvius' eruption. I highly recommend you guys put this on your Italy bucket list. This place is older than the Colosseum and is preserved so much better than the Colosseum. This is the biggest day ever. Hunter, what's on the bed? Not in your bed, what's on mommy and daddy's bed? What is it? Is it a bunny? Do you want to see? Look at it. No feet on the bed. It's covered in Pompeii. His head fell off. Is it a little bunny? He's made of towels, Hunter. We've just had showers and washed off all the sweat, all the dirt. We just had the biggest day ever. I think we were the first people to jump off this ship and I think we were the last to hop on because we just got on 10 minutes ago, had a shower and they've just started to leave. So that was such a big day, but we were able to see two of the biggest bucket list spots that I've been wanting to see here in Italy. And Hunter, oh my goodness, when we got back, she was just covered head to toe in dirt, playing in the rocks, but we are now going to be watching the sunset and watching the sail away, ready for our next stop. We've decided tonight to come and have a little drink at the Rising Bar. And yes, there is a reason it's called the Rising Bar. We are currently rising. So it's kind of cool. We go from the fifth deck all the way up to the eighth deck while having a drink. Cheers, Steve. Cheers, Pepper. Are you ready for it to go? Hunter, are we going up, up, up? We're moving. Look at the floor. We're going up. There are some really fun places to get a drink. You can get a drink from a robot or you can have a drink while you go up three stories. I love it. We started in the shopping area, had a drink and just walked outside and now we're in Central Park. So tonight for dinner, we are going to be eating at an Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant. This is so cool. So the Mad Hatter is leading us down the rabbit hole to dinner. Yeah, that sounds good. Sit down. It's a paintbrush. What do you think this could be for? So we've just been given our menus and as you can see, there is nothing on the menu right now. We have to paint our menu for our food to appear. All right, let's start my first salad, fire and the bird's nest. Wow. Look at this healthy fruit salad, Hunter. Wow. She's already tasting. That is the raspberry cotton candy on top. Okay. What are we doing to watch this? And we're going to add it on the top. Oh, there's the fruit salad. With the vanilla ice cream. Wow. Is it your fruit salad on today? Oh my goodness. So our entrees have just arrived and of course Hunter's entree, they called it a fruit salad. It's not a fruit salad. It's a bunch of fairy floss and then you lift it up and then underneath reveals a little tiny fruit salad and Hunter is very happy. So each meal is from a different element. So we've got some from fire and some from ice. One is called the bird's nest. Look at this. Eggs in a nest. One is shrimp and they said that you need to get the shrimp and then dip it in the spicy sauce. Oh, look at that. Should I go for it? I think they said this was filled with crab meat. Cheers, Steve. It's like fresh avocado puree with crab meat and then like a crispy wonton. Jess said to bite from the bottom. It's like pure wasabi. Can you taste it? What do you think? Do you like it? When your little one is eating a bird's nest for dinner. All right, the next thing we got was a reconstructed caprese salad and what I think was quite interesting is she said these little balls here, they look like olives but they're actually liquid. So she said you need to put one and see if it tastes like olive. Oh, that is so weird. It's like, yeah, it tastes like olives. Wow, look at this. It's like sweet. It's really interesting. Try one of the olives. My little wobbly water. Even the kids food is interesting. Like this is Hunter's macaroni and cheese and so what we do is we get it and we squeeze the paint. Squeeze the paint. What, is daddy eating the paint? Try it. There it is inside. No, it's okay, it's okay. This has got to be the most unique dish that we've been served so far. It's like iced ouzo or something with caviar. So we have to eat this bit first. That is so good. It's like frozen lime and then underneath is raw tuna served inside a lime and then she said to put it on the cracker and then eat it. This is my favorite so far. Delicious. You just wait, Steve. You'll love them. That's so refreshing. That was in a drink. That is so yum. And that just concludes our starters. So for our mains, we both went for fish but two different types of dishes. Look at this. This is so interesting. So it's like a bed of rice with fish and then on top is this crispy piece of bread. This looks so interesting. Look, you might like this, Hunter. Rice and fishy. That is delicious. Wow. So then my dish. My fish came in a plastic bag for a reason. The flavors had been cooked in there for about six hours. So she says the fish should be pretty tender and it got some potatoes in there. Wow. That's so flavorsome. Hunter's goal for the rest of dinner has just been hiding from the Mad Hatter. That's why she's been having to sit on mummy and now she's hiding under the table. Hunter, do you like the Mad Hatter? No. All's a potato. So I'm like attacking a meal. Hunter, look at mummy's drink. A smoking whiskey. Wow. It's called the Smoking Rings. Mine's called the Cheshire Cat Cosmo. Cheers, Steve. We're getting all the desserts, aren't we? First, it's a musical mushroom. Wow. What do you think? What's happening? It's melting. What do you think's inside? Okay, I think the best part about this restaurant has to be the desserts. Firstly, how cool do they look? And secondly, how cool are the plates? Stephen's gone for the forbidden apple. You see what's inside? It looks like the apple from Snow White. I think that's might have been what they were going for. It's appley, like berry kind of mousse. Ice cream is always my favourite and I think Hunter is enjoying her little mushroom now. It's so good.
