Day 1 of our Alaska Cruise - Boarding Ovation of the Seas - Royal Caribbean Cruise Vlog
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document their first day boarding the Ovation of the Seas for a seven-night Alaskan cruise departing from Seattle. After completing the mandatory muster drill, they explore the ship's amenities, including the Windjammer buffet, which they describe as having an impressive selection of food. They highlight the ship's design, specifically noting the Solarium and indoor pool areas as ideal features for a cold-weather itinerary. The vlog follows their transition into their Spa Junior Suite on deck seven, where they inspect the room's layout, balcony view, and amenities. Throughout the day, they engage in a scavenger hunt for hidden rubber ducks left by family members and discuss the unique nature of their itinerary, which currently avoids Canadian ports due to pandemic-related regulations. The day concludes with a dinner at Coastal Kitchen, an exclusive venue for suite guests, before they settle in for their first day at sea.
