Creator's Key Takeaways

We're getting on board for this 3-day media sailing going to Insanada, Mexico.

We took the Royal Caribbean shuttle from LAX to the Los Angeles port. Now, I'll be honest. When we got to the airport, the shuttle line was a bit chaotic.

Oddnumbered rooms are interior and even numbered rooms are ocean view or balcony.

I rode the Northstar on imbarcation day as part of our media sailing, so it was complimentary and the views were incredible. That said, I'll be honest, it felt a little overrated.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the Royal Caribbean shuttle from LAX to the port, but expect initial chaos in the line.
Odd-numbered rooms are interior; even-numbered rooms are ocean view or balcony.
For bumper cars, you need closed-toe shoes.
Use the digital boards for turn-by-turn directions to onboard venues.
