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

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

Patrick from Oakland Travel provides a walkthrough of the Harmony of the Seas during embarkation day in May 2022. The video begins with a description of the deck six hallway on the port side of the ship. The creator notes that the embarkation process at the Port Canaveral terminal was difficult, which caused a delay in their arrival. Additionally, the group encountered issues with a stateroom door and a safe, leading to speculation about whether the rooms had been held aside for quarantine. Due to the late start, the group had to prioritize the mandatory muster drill. The creator admits to a mistake regarding the drill location, having mistakenly expected the process to follow the layout of the Mariner of the Seas. After realizing the error, the group returned to deck six to complete the safety requirements in the spa area. Following the drill, the group ate lunch at the Windjammer before heading to the deck fifteen pool area. The video concludes with the creator exploring the upper decks and observing the views of the promenade as they prepare for the sail away festivities.

Creator's Key Takeaways

it was kind of a rough start for us on embarkation day just because of how the process flowed through the the terminal at port canaveral

we had a little bit of a problem with one of the doors down there the hallway you see one of our family members is traveling with us

i have a confession i screwed this up pretty good i had the mariner of the seas in my head from january of 2022 where you do the muster drill out on the outsides of the ship

after the safety drill was over we made our way to the windjammer for a quick lunch before they closed it down
