‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ cast take a trip to international waters in season 5

“Is this considered the United States still?” Sorrentino asks the front desk person in the latest clip from the new season. In November 2021, the cast of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation headed to the Florida Keys to film.

Eagle-eyed fans on Reddit pieced together the roommates were filming at the Isla Bella Resort in Marathon, Florida. In a later thread, an employee from the resort talked about what it was like to work there while the MTV series was filming.

Based on the clips in the teaser, it looks like the Jersey Shore stars get into plenty of fun in the Florida sun. From a floating tiki bar to jet skis, there’s a lot going on in season 5 of JSFV.

Speaking of unpacking, it looks like Sorrentino packed a little extra for this vacation. “It is BDS, but now I guess you’d say it’s BDSM,” Sorrentino tells cameras wearing leather chaps, a vest, and a choker necklace. “What are you wearing?” his wife Lauren Sorrentino asks off camera. We can only assume someone took Baby Romeo off the new parent’s hands so they could have some alone time, but we’ll have to see how this scene plays out.
