Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm really excited to see how it's coming along as we take cruises over the next few months we'll see it progress to actual completion and being ready for the Allure

John hasn't been on a major Cruise Line before he's done a WinStar Cruise the number of guests on board this ship is crazy compared to the last one he's been on

the fastest security I've ever done ever cruising it's 1104 and we're through we're going to our waiting space now

they want you to pay two dollars per day to text each other the last time I was on a Royal Caribbean ship it was the Allure of the Seas and they had their app in beta and I thought that a lot of things would improve because it was really bad

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own bottle of wine to save money on drink packages
Pre-order wine and cheese plates for specialty dining to get discounts

YouTube Video Description

After three long years away from my favorite form of travel, it's finally embarkation day again! Today we are boarding Grandeur of the Seas and it's my first time ever cruising out of Galveston, Texas. This is John's second cruise ever and his first time on a big ship. He previously cruised on the Wind Star sailing yacht that has a passenger capacity of 148. That is less than one major cruise liner lifeboat holds! He's definitely in for an experience. We had a wonderful day and a special dinner in Chops Grille. Enjoy!
