Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess leans towards a more relaxed classic upscale cruise experience, while Royal leans towards familyfriendly, high energy, activitydriven ships.

The ice cream and the buffet close super early. The ice cream closes at 6:00 p.m. and the buffet closes at 8:30, which is why there are people that are hungry late at night.

We didn't enjoy the shows. All of the shows were very blleh. They were very It was again cool on the lights aspects, the uh technical side, lights, sounds, the singing, the performers.

The 3:00 a.m. pizza at Sarrentos. That was fantastic. Again, eating late, great stuff.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Open a specialty coffee account immediately to avoid extra charges per drink.
Bring extra snacks as the buffet and ice cream close relatively early.

New Merch Store is LIVE! 👉 xjosiahmicah-shop.fourthwall.com DAY 4 — the final chapter of our 4-part Quantum of the Seas Cruise Series! Today was our last full day at sea, and we made sure to soak up every moment. The morning started with a solo walk through the ship, breakfast at the Windjammer, and a look at some areas we hadn’t filmed yet—including the adults-only solarium and parts of the upper decks. We also celebrated our 14-year wedding anniversary, spent time with family, and tried to squeeze in all the activities we missed earlier in the trip. From watching the belly flop competition to checking out origami creations, swimming, and exploring more of the ship’s restaurants and features—this day was full. Later in the vlog, we took you through a quick cruise comparison between Princess (our usual line) and Royal Caribbean—covering ship size, tonnage, decks, crew counts, tech differences, and more. If you're curious about Discovery Princess vs. Quantum of the Seas or how the Sun Princess compares, this video breaks it down. For our final evening, we enjoyed Taste of Italy for dinner, took more family photos, picked up our photo bundle, and watched one last show in the Royal Theater. We wrapped up the night with some games at SeaPlex and a look at a few unique ship features—before heading back to the room for our final thoughts. We close out the vlog with our honest pros & cons, shout-outs to the amazing crew members we met, and what we’re hoping for on future Royal Caribbean sailings. Thank you for joining us on this 4-day Ensenada cruise—it's been short but unforgettable. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and check out the merch in the description!
