Creator's Key Takeaways
I am going on the ovation, leave out of LA and go to Tokyo. So, 16 nights, 15 nights cruises, 16 nights because we, uh, go over the international date line.
Cruising is my happy place. So, I'm just so looking forward to all of the sea days and the adventure.
I have a tea kettle in this room. Yay. I'm sure it's because of all the international travelers. I have no idea. But I'm super excited because now I can have my my uh my tea in the morning without having to rush downstairs.
Everything on this cruise is chill. Everything's chill.
