Brooke has documented her luxury £2K a week cruise break with sons Mexx, aged three, and Monroe, aged two, along with fiance Kean Bryan, 26.
One image showed her in an orange swimsuit raising a glass with a cocktail on board the Norwegian Viva ship.
She then showed Mexx giving a thumbs-up to the camera while having his breakfast ion his cabin before he took a dip with his brother and dad.

She struck a series of poses in a floral crop top and matching maxi skirt, with the glistening sea waters behind.
Oh So B founder Brooke joked to fans in the caption: "Sail away with me honey."

It comes as Brooke recently revealed she struggled in pregnancy after believing she "lost her identity" while expecting.
"People just underestimate how carrying a child can make you feel and how it can knock your confidence. I just didn't know who I was," she explained on the saying a lot of those feelings came down to her weight and body changes.
