Creator's Key Takeaways

Everything so far has been seamless.

I'm not sure about this yet. I have a total pet hate of not being able to get seats at bars or get served.

For me, this was exceptional value.

I'm a happy boy.

YouTube Video Description

Brand new vlog! It’s the start of a new 7 night cruise adventure and my first time sailing Norwegian Cruise Line Prima out of Port Canaveral, Florida, destination Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, and Cozumel, Mexico. Join me as I make my way from Orlando to the port, where I’ll show you the check in, boarding and muster processes. Next up, a tour of some of the unique venues and facilities on board Prima, first impressions of my solo studio and lounge, a look at the menus at Indulge Food Hall plus a sample of Asian food, some of the entertainment on the first day and the daily programme, dinner at Los Lobos speciality Mexican and I’ll talk you through the Free and Sea / Free at Sea Plus packages. There’s a whole lot to fit into 26 minutes and then some! Let’s do this! Note: my Package was originally the ‘more at sea’ package which allowed one paid for speciality venue. This has since reverted to ‘free at sea’ giving more options for speciality dining on a 7 night cruise (3 speciality dining occasions) Don’t forget to like this video, subscribe and turn on notifications for bi-weekly cruise and travel vlogs plus my Monday night lives!
