Creator's Key Takeaways
We are headed out to Los Angeles today. Um we are going on the Ovation tomorrow. Um which is our first time on that ship and first time out of that port.
It's a beautiful day down here by the harbor, but we figured we would see how close the cruise port is to the hotel.
We got to see got to see the prison the federal prison. It's on the point. And there you go.
The ship is really nice. Alan, first impressions of the ship. Big is big, but you're used to the big ships.
