Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm just so enjoying this cruise and um it's been so much fun. So, I love it.

That's what solo cruising's all about. You you know, if you get out and you just talk to people and people will talk to you and um it's just a lot of fun.

This was probably one of my better cruises, um especially solo. It's definitely my best solo cruise I've taken so far.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't be afraid to go and solo cruise; there's always someone to talk to.
If you have an early flight, arrange private transportation instead of taking the shuttle.

YouTube Video Description

This solo cruise ended up being my favorite one yet — and I didn’t expect that. These are my final days on Harmony of the Seas, from a slower Cozumel port day to a sea day that made it hard to say goodbye. Welcome back to Barely Packed! In this final installment of my solo cruise adventure aboard Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas, I take you through three unforgettable days: ✨ Day 5 – Cozumel: I took it slow this port day with a relaxing morning, a bit of shopping, and some honest thoughts on navigating the more aggressive vendors. I skipped the excursions this time and soaked up some solo time onboard instead—poolside chill vibes and my first visit to the Rising Tide Bar (plus, I discovered a new favorite cocktail! 🍍🍹). 🌊 Day 6 – Sea Day: The last full day onboard! I did the Behind the Scenes tour, caught the Columbus the Musical afternoon show (love that Royal does those), and had an absolute blast back at Wonderland Bar—seriously, it’s a vibe. I even tried a shot (me?!), met awesome people, and soaked in the final night cruise magic. ✈️ Day 7 – Disembarkation in Galveston: I walk you through the shuttle process back to Hobby Airport, including a few helpful tips if you’re flying out solo or taking Royal Caribbean transportation. This solo cruise was easily my favorite since starting my channel—and I hope you felt like you were right there with me. 💜 🔔 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE for more cruise vlogs, travel tips, and real talk from a solo traveler who doesn’t pack light—but packs smart. — ⛴️ Featured in this video: Harmony of the Seas Rising Tide Bar 🍸 Cozumel Port walk-through ☀️🛍️ Wonderland Bar & cocktails 🍸🎩 Columbus the Musical 🎤🎭 Royal Caribbean shuttle process at Galveston 🚍✈️ Tips for solo cruising ________ 00:00 Morning Greeting 01:55 Walking Port In Cozumel 06:21 Vitality Cafe Protein Shake 07:50 Relaxing At The Pool 08:39 Rising Tide Bar 10:25 Elevator Piano Man 11:01 Studio B 11:16 Nightly Wrap Up 12:42 Morning Greeting 13:36 Behind The Scenes Tour 14:44 Boardwalk Walking 16:01 Wonderland Bar 18:43 Nightly Wrap Up 20:25 Morning Greeting 21:37 Royal’s Shuttle Disembark Process 25:36 Series Wrap Up _________
