YouTube Video Description↓

In this video, I am talking about the drama that occurred on our first day of our cruise. We were sailing from the Port of Galveston Texas and boarding the Jewel of the Seas cruise ship. We ran into all types of craziness. It was definitely cruise ship drama in our first 24 hours onboard. This is a day #1 recap. Come along for the crazy journey. Have you had drama in your first 24 hours on a vacation? Spill the beans in the comments.
