YouTube Video Description

🚢 Join us on our quirky (very) amateur videos to witness an unforgettable journey, as we take a two-month trip from Melbourne, Australia to Hawaii. In fact, we call it "Our Trip of a Life-Time"! Firstly, we cruise from Sydney to Vancouver, via Asia and Alaska for 43 days. After disembarking, we tour the Canadian Rockies, and finally fly to Hawaii to explore this lovely island. This video is Part 3 of the journey. We stop in Darwin and tour the Darwin Military Museum. Further into the cruise, we cross the Equator and witness a unique ceremony at sea. There is also content on Pirates, the Crab Shack, plus other events on board the Royal Princess. Over the next few weeks we will post further videos, outlining our time on the ship, exploring various port locations, plus detailing some of the trials and tribulations we came across.
