Creator's Key Takeaways

Solo dad cruise. No mom, just babies.

We are in the Skooner Bar right now having a What are you having? >> What are you having? >> Temple. >> She's having a Shirley Temple.

I've never sailed out of LA before. And if you don't know this, LA, I think I may have already said it. I don't know. It is the largest port in the world, I believe.

So, if you haven't cruised before and you need to have them change that stuff, that's just something you can be aware of so that everybody can kind of have their own space.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're a first-time cruiser, get up early for the Wind Jammer on the first sea day to avoid crowds.
You can ask your room attendant to split the beds in your cabin for more space.

We are headed out on a new cruise adventure on board Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the seas. We are on board for a five night sailing with an overnight stay in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We grab some drinks at our favorite bar (IYKYK) before our traditional Jamie's Italian Boarding Day Lunch. Wcheck out the room and explore the ship a little. We catch sail away from our balcony. After dinner in the main dining room we catch the welcome aboard comedian before bed. The next day we have a sea day planned by the kids highlighted by bumper cars at sea!
