And life’s a little easier for papa, too, thanks to free meals 24/7 and an on-board nursery.

But Featherstone remembers a wild ride in St. Lucia as his kiddo’s best day abroad.
“These guys come past us with two horses — Piper’s obsessed with animals,” he recalled to People. “So she was like ‘Wow, horsey, horsey,’ and the guy on the horse was like, ‘If you wanna jump on, we’ll take you to the beach.’”
It was a kismet encounter that would not have been afforded to Featherstone’s family if he were working a traditional 9-to-5.
“We were just randomly riding horses down the beach in St. Lucia,’” he laughed. “And [we] were like, ‘God, we definitely wouldn’t be doing this if we were still in London.’”

Sadly, however, as the adage goes, all good things must come to an end.
Online, Featherstone revealed that his contract with the cruise liner ends in March, but says he’s keeping his “fingers crossed” for an equally cushy on-the-go gig because “we just love it.”
“We don’t take it for granted because not everybody on the ship has the same privileges as singers,” he noted.
“I just feel like I’ve lucked out being able to do a job that I love whilst sharing it with my family.”
