Creator's Key Takeaways

We had lunch at Chops. Did the Captain's Corner and Spectre's Cabaret for the show tonight.

It was a record-breaking day in Ensenada. This was the most cruise passengers they had in one day.

We saw SpaceX launch tonight off Vandenberg Air Force Base. That was real cool.

It was a great cruise. Yes. Uh so, and we will look forward to uh our next adventure.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book separate reservations for iFly to take videos of each other.
Don't bring churros back onto the ship; they will make you toss them.
Get TSA pre-check for faster airport security.
