Day 1 on Ovation of the Seas | Our First Family of 8 Cruise in Star Class + I Turn 42!
It’s finally cruise day — and not just any cruise day… our first-ever family cruise! 🚢💙 Yes this video is a little late to be uploaded. We took this trip at the end of July. Enjoy the Family Cruise Series!! We’re setting sail on Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas for a 3-day cruise to Mexico, traveling as a family of 8 — me, my husband, and six of our kids (our two oldest daughters stayed home — one’s pregnant and the other stayed with her 💕). This trip is extra special because it’s also my birthday cruise 🎉 (I celebrate on July 31st) — and to make it even more memorable, we’re traveling in both Star Class and Sky Class suites! My husband, our two youngest kids, and I are in Star Class, while our four older kids are in Sky Class — but we all get to enjoy most of the Star Class perks together. In this video, you’ll see: Boarding Day on Ovation of the Seas Our first impressions of the ship Star Class boarding experience & butler service Checking out our suites and views The chaos (and fun!) of sailing as a family of eight A few surprises as we kick off the trip to Mexico 🌊 This is just Day 1, and we’re already blown away — the ship, the food, the service… it’s everything we hoped for and more. Come along as we celebrate family, birthdays, and first-time experiences at sea — and stay tuned for Day 2 and Day 3, where we explore Mexico and celebrate my birthday onboard!
