Creator's Key Takeaways

We are on board Royal Caribbean's newest ship out here on the West Coast, the Ovation of the Seas, for a three-ight cruise down to Mexico.

It's pretty crazy right now in the Wind Jammer because the rooms are not ready. They're ready around 1:00 and everyone has decided to come get food before their rooms are ready, which is pretty typical on board any cruise ship.

I did just confirm with one of the very friendly workers here that the Bionic Bar is included in your deluxe drink package. So, that concludes that.

I am really enjoying the key lime pie, though. It is not too heavy. Other key lime pies I've had are very dense. This is fairly light. It's a nice surprise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a sweater for a Pacific cruise as it can get chilly.
βœ“Arrive early for the silent party to ensure you get headphones.
βœ“Check the wine station operation at Vintages wine bar, as it may be closed.
