Creator's Key Takeaways

This is my second time on it. And it's I think since it's not as new, not as big, you don't have as many kids.

The dinner was really good. I had the prime rib.

It's a beautiful place down here, I think.

I definitely recommend it. We came here a little bit early so we can enjoy it a little bit before we get on the cruise tomorrow.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk in Florida before your cruise.
Book a balcony room on Royal Caribbean for a better experience.
Try the prime rib and key lime pie for dinner on the ship.

YouTube Video Description

In this vlog I travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to start my cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas. After flying in, we spend the afternoon exploring Hollywood, Florida and walking along the famous Hollywood Broadwalk. We end the day with dinner at the iconic Le Tub, a waterfront restaurant known for its burgers and laid-back atmosphere. The next morning we grab breakfast and take a relaxing walk along the beach before heading to Port Everglades to board the Freedom of the Seas. After embarkation we spend the afternoon exploring the ship, checking out some of the spaces onboard, and enjoying sail-away. We wrap up the night with a comedy show as the cruise officially begins. This is the start of our cruise vacation, so come along for embarkation day and the beginning of the adventure! #freedomoftheseas #royalcaribbean #cruisevlog #ftlauderdale #hollywoodflorida #hollywoodbroadwalk #cruiseembarkation #porteverglades #travelvlog #cruisetravel #cruiselife #caribbeancruise #leTub
