Creator's Key Takeaways

I have zero problem keeping myself occupied and downtime. I I have no problem with that.

I was really expecting it to be a lot more rocky. Um, I thought we would be swaying a lot more than we have.

I'm just really enjoying the downtime because um I'm going to be doing some things in port.

Don't be afraid to solo cruise. There's always someone to talk to.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack layers for a transpacific cruise, as the air can be chilly even when the sun is out.
Be prepared for time changes and adjust your schedule accordingly.
If you're a solo cruiser, don't be afraid to talk to people; the community is friendly.

What really happens during 12 straight sea days on a transpacific cruise? Strong winds, rough seas, time changes, exhaustion — and moments I didn’t expect at all. Welcome back to Barely Packed! 🌊 In this Part 2 of my Transpacific Cruise series on the Ovation of the Seas, we’re in the thick of 12 back-to-back sea days — and it’s a rollercoaster of sleep schedules, strong winds, surprise time changes, rocking seas, and yes... another Reuben sandwich from Two70. 😅 I’ll take you along for a real-life, unscripted experience of life on board during an extended stretch at sea. I talk about: ✨ What the weather was really like ⚓ How rocky the seas got (spoiler: it surprised me!) ⏰ Time zone chaos 🧳 What I wish I packed (and what I didn’t need) 🧍‍♀️ Solo cruising highs and lows 🍴 Food wins & fails (looking at you, grilled cheese with blue cheese 😬) 🚁 A medical emergency airlift onboard …and the most important question: Did I ever know what time it was?
