In this episode I’ll show you what the check-in / embarkation / muster processes are like when boarding in Cape Liberty, New Jersey, USA, first impressions of my cabin/stateroom, navigating such a large ship, trying some of the unique facilities for the first time, exploring some of the onboard neighbourhoods, our first lunch at the buffet and dinner at Jamie’s Italian plus so much more! Let’s do this! Next vlog in the series out on 18 October 2025! Don’t forget to like this video, subscribe and turn on notifications for bi-weekly cruise and travel vlogs plus my Monday night lives!
