Creator's Key Takeaways

I felt really bad for my husband who was trying to juggle a few different cameras making sure the audio was going okay all while capturing everything in those conditions

Paul heck yes you should if you can afford it upgrade from a window to a balcony there's so much to see you'll really enjoy the fresh air

I wouldn't get there any earlier than 11:00 a.m. you could probably start the process of check-in at 11:00 a.m.

Cabo you could technically get off the boat and just walk around and have a decent time um but I wouldn't really recommend it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Upgrade your cabin from a window to a balcony if you can afford it
Arrive at the port around 11:00 a.m. for check-in
Wear swimsuits under warm weather clothes on embarkation day to head straight to the pool
