what is going on YouTube greetings from Ruby Princess here early in the morning on a sea
day a lot of people ask me hey you're going on this Cruise what do you do on days where
you're at just at Sea isn't that like super boring so I figured I would take you along
so you could see my day decide for yourself whether or not you think it's boring it's
early in the morning here it's like 6 a.m on the Ruby Princess and you can see I got
the atrium almost to myself no everyone was out probably going to the club last night
we had another C day yesterday and so I figured you know I'd show you my day on board some
of the things to do uh you know things that I'm interested in but I'll probably show you
some things that uh maybe I don't do but are available on board on a sea day so you can
kind of get a feel for what it's like and if you'd enjoy it so without further Ado let's
jump into this video [Music] so the first thing I do every morning is I order a butter
pecan latte from the princess app room service on princess is free through their app but
you do have to pay for specialty coffees so in this case the butter pecan latte that I
got is three to four dollars so not too expensive better than Starbucks and if you wanted black
coffee that's free but uh I like the Fufu coffee so that's what I got this morning so
I'm just about finished here so let's head up top side and see if we can catch a sunrise
[Music]
thank you
so as you can see if you're a morning person you pretty much have the entire ship to yourself
you can enjoy these amazing sunrises without having to worry about fighting for a good
spot on board the ship just sit back relax and enjoy it but I think right now I'm gonna
head down and we're gonna do a little morning exercise we are on Deck seven which I believe
is called the Promenade deck and we're gonna go outside yeah it is called the Promenade
deck look at that we're gonna go outside what I like to do in the morning is on a ship is
I like to walk and get my as many steps in as I can before the day starts and uh you
know my goal to be honest with you is to get at least 5 000 steps in before I go to my
first activity but I'd really like to get to 10 000 and then all the other steps are
bonus for the day and I usually end up somewhere around 20 000 if I do that if I do five thousand
steps I usually end up somewhere around fifteen thousand sixteen thousand on board the ship
you'll do a lot of walking I don't take the elevator I take the stairs I try to book my
cabin in like a middle deck I'm on Deck 10.
there's 19 decks on this ship so I either got to go up or down to get somewhere and
I'm all the way forward and a lot of this stuff is all the way aft I also will shoot
up to the running track sometimes but mostly I like to be out here because it's just unimpeded
walking where other spots on the ship your walking can be impeded by different things
on board the ship and this is just a loop a round Loop that you can do you can run it
you can walk it it's a great way to start off the morning it's the way I like to start
off my morning so so another great spot to hit up is the gym we're going to be quiet
because there's people working out in here but you can see there's all kinds of free
weights I'm actually nursing an injury right now so I'm not spending a lot of time in here
but you can jump on these treadmills if you don't like walking outside you have this beautiful
view of the ocean got all this area like all these bikes there's yoga classes all that
kind of stuff so it's a pretty cool area you know to hit up on your sea day or any day
for that matter to try to work off some of that cruise ship food I definitely want to
work off those desserts also I want to show you this so on the way into the gym you pass
through the spa area I don't normally come here because I'm used to Thai Spa prices so
this is pretty expensive compared to that and I just can't pay that amount of money
but if you you know want to do some spa treatments or something like that they've got all kinds
of stuff look I've got like wrinkle remover Botox you know all that kind of stuff I'm
not really into that but it is something that you could do on uh on a sea day to uh to pass
the time I guess if you're into that kind of stuff but let's go down and hit up some
of the pools the outside bars and hot tubs so there are a ton of these hot tubs probably
I don't know 10 of these hot tubs that's warm that's too warm for being off the coast of
uh Costa Rica but um yeah they're all over the ship there's a bunch of pools all over
the ship and early in the morning like this you can grab one of these and keep it all
day if you're so inclined so this is another great thing to do obviously when you're at
Sea got the beautiful view of the ocean I don't know how well the camera is picking
it up but this is the AFT end of the ship and it's just gorgeous out that way let me
take you down to another pool that's closer to the water where you'll get uh my favorite
view of the ship so let's go down there so if you like to spend the day at bars like
Tiki style bars there are tons of bars throughout the ship my favorite is this bar right here
called the Outrigger and the reason it's my favorite it's on the after the ship and as
you can see hardly anybody's here it's kind of hard to find so a lot of people probably
never even Discover it there's a pool here that if you were here right now you'd have
completely to yourself there's all kinds of seating all over the place and your view is
my favorite part of the ship the app part of the ship where the Wake makes the water
a little bit Bluer just a beautiful unobstructed view of the ocean to me it is the essence
of what being at Sea is about sitting out here look table all to myself million dollar
view you can't beat it so that's one of the bars we'll go head around and look at some
of the other ones as well
so this ship has a ton of pools for you to drown in I'm just kidding but they have plenty
of These Bars these outdoor style bars to drown away your sorrows in if you're so inclined
oh I know it looks like the same pool but it's not it's a different pool double hot
tubs another bar another outdoor bar over there it's not open yet it's early in the
morning but since it's early let's go check out what's for breakfast in the buffet so
I don't normally eat breakfast in the morning I just have my coffee but I know a lot of
you are probably interested in breakfast options so I'll show you a couple on board Ruby Princess
so this is the buffet
so you've got your Mediterranean style right breakfast meats and cheeses got your cereals
which is my favorite got your fruits for you healthy folks
solids here breakfast salads
a bunch of pastries
I have no idea what those are but they look good
and then you got your traditional um which you can actually get them to make you an omelette
made to order so if you want a fresh one you can get that yeah oh look at this some Filipino
style or Casino
and your traditional American breakfast so if you've researched cruising at all you know
most Cruises have drink packages which include alcohol coffees all kinds of things like that
but it can be pretty expensive to be honest with you but there are free options I mean
you know me I'm kind of a budget traveler so free is my cup of tea well not really free
included with your fare so you have iced tea which is my favorite obviously you have hot
water and you can make your own teas right we've got all the fancy tea brands for those
who are into that and then they have as much decaf and regular coffee as you could your
heart desires so there's plenty of free options on board also if you're into Splenda and other
kinds of sweeteners they have those too you can take a cup to your room you can fill up
your water bottle that's what I do I usually fill up my water bottle with tea and water
throughout the day so I really don't spend a whole lot on drinks but I'll talk more about
that later because I do Splurge you know a couple times a day so there is another complementary
option for breakfast it's the international cafe this is where they make the Fufu coffees
that cost money but all the food here is free it's actually not just for breakfast either
it's for all day got pastries you've got an assortment of avocado toast and if you're
healthy trying to eat a little better they got some grapefruit as well as some other
fresh fruit options my favorite being the kiwis before heading off the shower I decided
to shoot some hoops at the basketball court nothing but net on my way back to my cabin
I stopped to watch the fruit sculpturing skills of the chefs on board it was pretty cool after
showering I figured I'd walk around the ship and see if I could find anything interesting
to do that led me to the casino I'm not a big gambler but I figured you guys might want
to see it so here you go so if you're a gambler they have all of the slot machines all of
the games Blackjack roulette all the stuff you would find in a Vegas casino they have
here they even have sports betting as well so if you wanted to bet on some sports teams
like right now all the NFL games are happening you can come and bet on your favorite team
here make the game a little bit more exciting so if you're into gambling there's that option
as well gambling isn't my thing but live music is so I headed over to the Wheelhouse bar
which wasn't too busy because it was early catch a little bit of live music filling out
my cup coffee talk on the screen porch so in love now you're the one I'm losing sleep
for and I hope the wrong ones to ride through your magic fingers and I hope we find some
way to fall in love like we were yeah you're the only reason I was California Dreaming
in the first place so right next to all this singing and dancing in the atrium are two
levels of stores you can buy jewelry you can buy clothes you can buy camera equipment you
can get all the makeup and Clinique products that your heart desires so if you like shopping
you can spend part of your sea day shopping as well so next up I headed over to a game
show called yes or no the objective for the contestant is to not use the words yes or
no as replies to questions that are being asked by the game show host sounds easy enough
it's not this guy didn't fare so well [Music] California San Francisco okay um and now you've
lived there your whole life
[Applause] [Music] [Applause]
after the game show I caught more live music by this pretty amazing violin sister Duo they're
they're pretty awesome I can't play too much of this because of copyright but they're amazing
[Music] so after enjoying a coffee and that great music I headed over to a captain Circle
event so if you don't know the captain circle is Princess's loyalty program and this event
is attended invite only by people who have a ton of cruise days I have no status but
the top Cruiser on board is an army veteran that I met and he's able to invite people
so he invited me to this event which was awesome the drinks are free I had some Mojitos but
it was really cool to watch them honor him and I'll just show you how that went our most
travel guests for this Voyage what 1387 days
foreign [Applause]
there you go [Music] you gotta see blue cheese for the belly Head and Shoulders out so that
was really cool to watch and really thankful that Greg invited me to this event that I
normally wouldn't be able to go to and I got to hang out with a bunch of other new Cruise
buddies as well it was really cool so it's about 8 30 almost nine o'clock at night there's
a ton of things I could be doing right now I could go play a game at Texas Hold'em I
could go hit up the nightclub there are bands playing in the multiple bars on board and
there's so many things as a matter of fact I'm gonna put up a schedule right now so you
can see all the different events that happen today maybe some I didn't show you that you
might be interested in and curious about but I'll put that up but what I'm going to do
now is I'm gonna go grab a chili dog and I'm going to sit out here and I'm going to watch
a little bit of football which is an awesome way to end a day at Sea tomorrow we'll be
in the Panama Canal which will be amazing but tell me what you think about a day at
Sea and if you enjoyed this video make sure you hit that thumbs up and if you're not subscribed
