Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document their first day boarding the Mariner of the Seas from Port Canaveral, noting that the trip coincides with Brian's birthday. After completing the mandatory muster drill, they explore the ship's promenade and visit the Windjammer buffet, where they observe that the ship is operating at approximately 50 percent capacity. The vlog highlights the presence of an official Starbucks on board and a tour of their unique ocean view stateroom located near the helipad. The couple explores various amenities, including the pool area, water slides, and the FlowRider. They also discuss their Diamond status perks, such as specialty drink vouchers, and visit Johnny Rockets for a casual birthday dinner. The day concludes with the creators hiding a prize duck on the ship, browsing the onboard gift shop, and enjoying birthday cake in their room as the ship sails toward Nassau.

Creator's Key Takeaways

it's brian's birthday he didn't mention that yeah it's actually today boarding day we are boarding mariner of the seas right now for three nights

we just got on and now the first thing we have to do is as soon as we get on board we have to go to our muster station before we can do anything else

i'm pretty sure everyone on board has to be vaccinated and we do have to wear masks

we got these shakes for free because we used our diamond drink voucher which is super cool and this is my first time using my diamond drink voucher
