Creator's Key Takeaways

I spent the one night here in this hotel in well quite literally 5 minutes from the LAX airport.

So, for this 15-day voyage, we are going to be leaving Los Angeles today, followed by, I think, if I count correctly, 11 days at sea.

I'm going to be daily vlogging this trip, guys.

This is the cheapest room available, at least available to me anyway. This is what's known as a virtual balcony, which is what this LCD screen is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Print your luggage tags and attach them to your suitcase before arriving at the port.
βœ“Complete the muster drill via the Royal Caribbean app before boarding the ship.
βœ“Use the virtual balcony curtain to close it at night for better sleep.
