Emerald Princess Pt.1 - Embark, Salty Dog Grill, Balcony Cabin, Sailaway Party, Karaoke, Piano Bar

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document the first day of a sixteen day cruise to Hawaii aboard the Emerald Princess departing from Los Angeles. After boarding at the San Pedro terminal and completing the medallion check in process, they visit the Explorers Lounge to watch the safety video. The vlog covers a variety of onboard amenities including lunch at the Salty Dog Grill, a tour of their Deck 11 balcony cabin, and an exploration of the ship's various decks and lounges such as the Wheelhouse and Crooners. The creators participate in the sail away party and observe local wildlife like sea lions as the ship departs the harbor. Later in the evening, they attempt to watch a movie under the stars, though they encounter technical difficulties with the audio and video. The day concludes with a review of their dinner in the main dining room, where they discuss various dishes ranging from successful ceviche to a disappointing Hawaiian luau pork. They also visit Club Fusion for karaoke before retiring to their cabin for the night.
