YouTube Video Description↓

Travelling to our cruise and boarding day is definitely the best day of the cruise for us! In this video, we fly from London Heathrow to Los Angeles, with Virgin Atlantic. We were lucky to be flying Upper class which is always an amazing experience. We then spend two nights in Los Angeles, at the Prospect Hollywood Hotel, before boarding the Royal Princess. It was our first cruise with Princess and from the West coast of America - see how we get on during our boarding day experience. Thank you for watching our video! Did you find it useful?
