Interview with iCarly Actor Nathan Kress

Other posts by MudslideMama

Nickelodeon cruise vacations are poised to become the Next Big Thing in family travel. The itineraries – to the Mexican Riviera or the Caribbean – are popular vacation spots in their own right, of course. Add in the fun of a family cruise with real Nickelodeon TV stars from iCarly (and characters – hello, Spongebob!), and we’re talking happy, entertained children from sunrise to sunset.

My own kids had an amazing two-day cruise experience recently. A highlight was when they met iCarly actors Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress. In fact, my younger daughter snagged herself an interview with Nathan Kress, who plays Freddy on iCarly. He’s a cool kid!  Here is the interview, straight from the Nick cruise:

Nathan Kress is a professional actor, despite his young age. He knows how to project his voice, whereas my somewhat starstruck daughter does not. In case you had a hard time hearing her questions (I know I did, and I was 3 feet away), she asked him what his favorite TV shows are, if he likes to vacation with his family, how it feels to have so many fans, his favorite place to travel, and what it’s like playing Freddy on iCarly. Softball questions, yes, but this wasn’t Meet The Press.

This partnership of Nickelodeon and Royal Caribbean is really exciting for those of us with Nick-crazed young kids. The ship that cruises out of Los Angeles, the Mariner of the Seas, is huge (Voyager Class), with plenty of things for the parents to do while their kids play.  It’s over a thousand feet long with 15 passenger decks, after all – room enough for an adult spa and fitness center as well as an ice skating rink, and designated youth and teen areas. Imagine that: While Mom and Dad are enjoying a relaxing body treatment in the spa, our children are getting a full-body treatment of their own, in the form of getting slimed. That’s right, the classic Nick Slime Time makes a big appearance on Nickelodeon family cruise vacatons, along with Dora, Diego, and the genial, friendly stars of iCarly. It’s hard to imagine a more child-friendly, entertaining family cruise trip.

    What a fantastic interview – Nathan is such a good role model. Tell “Little Mudslide” she was a terrific interviewer and that Jeb and Maddie will be so excited to see this since they knows one person in “real life” and Nathan from TV. (ps: I love 24, too.)

    Glad you enjoyed it and this is one of my fav blog posts! …Cruising is a great way to connect with people with other people who share a common interest like Nickolodeon and get to have the entire cruise experience be themed. There are many creative ways to utilize the days at Sea to add even more value to the Cruising experience. Bridge, Poker, Self-Improvement Classes, Sales Seminars etc. are all themed cruises that we have planned which can draw big crowds. We will see many more themed cruises in the future.

    Hey! I watched that interveiw and I realized that Nathan is really great with kids. I mean, how old was that little girl, like six?! I’m cool with kids, too. That’s some thing we have in common. U see, I have a huge crush on Nathan. He is just so CUTE. One day, I hope I can go out with him.
    PEACE OUT!

    P.S.
    If you’re out there, Nathan, I just want to say that I love you. Oh, and I also love wolves. LOL… See ya!

    Nathan is so HOT… not to mention awesome… and spectacular!
    I know this is the third time I commented this today. I guess I love expressing my feelings! By the way, I don’t know why I said ‘I love wolves’ in my last comment. It was totally off the subject! But, it really is true. I think wolves are pretty cool. UGH! I’m doing it AGAIN! I really need to learn to ‘express my feelings’ better. LOL!

    Uh… Kaitlyn Mae… SERIOUSLY… Nathan would like me better than u. Dream on! U think he would actually give u a chance?! U are really stupid! I mean, a superstar like that would never date anyone as casual as u! U idiotic freak! HAHAHAHA! >:D Oh, and by the way, I think wolves are suckish. >:P

    Hey! U r so mean, taylorswift224! If Nathan was going to get a date or somethin, he would choose a SWEET-HEARTED gal to go with, not a COLD-HEARTED girl like yourself. You are just a redneck heartbreaker. U should really think before u comment an insult. That comment is PUBLIC, you know! Anyone can see it. Even that dreamy Nathan Kress. Just by typing all of that, u transported me to a dark and lonely universe filled with depression. For short, U RUINED ME! I hope u r proud. I love Nathan Kress, and u cant stop me from showing a personal secret of yours PUBLICLY! Ok, visitors, for ur amusement:
    TAYLORSWIFT224 SMELLS HER OWN DIRTY UNDIES! And, Taylorswift224, wolves consume alot of rodents. Without wolves, the population of the rodents would grow fast, causing less and less vegitation. Then all other herbivores would die with little vegitation to eat, causing the predators to die as well, with little herbivores to prey on. Then the world would be ruled by rodents forevermore. So go out and and get on ur wild side. Enjoy nature! And don’t bother to ruin my opinion about Nathan Kress ever again!

    Hello,
    I was wondering how we can find out when these cruises with special Nick guest stars are planned? My daughter would have FLIPPED to be on that cruise!

    Hi, Mala! Thanks for writing. The Nick Cruises are typically twice a year, Christmas and late July. You can check the website http://www.nick.com/minisites/familycruise/ for exact dates.

    Enjoy what’s left of the summer!
