Editorial Summary

The creators document a day off during their forty-two day cruise, which begins with a visit to see a friend performing in the musical Back to the Future. The video explains that the Royal Caribbean CEO offered to pay for a special dinner for Jaden as a reward for her exceptional service and dedication to guests. After navigating a time zone change that nearly caused them to miss their show, the couple attends the musical and later goes for a walk to meet their step goal. The highlight of the day is a large dinner at Hook, a seafood restaurant. They discuss the challenges of working in the cruise service industry before ordering an extensive meal that includes crab cakes, oysters, and steak with lobster. Despite some initial hesitation regarding certain food shooters, the couple enjoys the meal and concludes their day in their room, feeling full after the celebratory dinner.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been to Hook once and it was 3 years ago and it was day 13 of a 14-day Atlantic crossing.

I was really disappointed, but I mean I was asking for it. I was asking disappointed.

This is really good.

I think this is what's going to bump up the rating for sure.
