Dr. Jenny points to the line of suitcases that are lined up in the hallway as the Ultimate World Cruise comes to an end in less than a weekA famous passenger aboard the Ultimate World Cruise is reflecting on her last week on the epic around-the-world sailing.
Dr. Jenny, who goes by drjennytravels on TikTok, has been documenting the ups and down of the entire journey and gained a loyal following in the process. Now, with less than a week left on the epic cruise, she’s opening up about how “bizarre” it is to see the voyage come to an end after nearly nine months at sea.
“Look at this,” she says in a TikTok shared on Tuesday, Sept. 3. Pointing to a sign on a cabin door, she continues, “Seven days left. This is in my hall for the World Cruise and as you can see — look at all the luggage out here.”
She pans around the hallway to reveal multiple suitcases stacked up against the walls before continuing.

“The reason why people have their luggage out is because we get to New York tomorrow. We make it back to the United States tomorrow,” she says in disbelief.
After its stop in New York City, the Serenade of the Seas has just two more destinations to go, Bermuda and the Bahamas, before it returns to its final destination in Miami — the same location it departed from nearly nine months earlier on Dec. 10 in 2023.

Dr. Jenny Travels TikTok“This is just bizarre. We have watched people put their luggage out here as they’ve come and gone, but now this is us. This is World Cruisers,” she says of the last people on board, adding that it’s a “sad day.”
As Dr. Jenny films more suitcases being loaded onto trolley carts, she explains that some cruisers have opted to use a service that ships their luggage to their home to make the end of the trip as stress-free as possible.

Luggage being loaded onto trolley cartsWhen there was just one month left of the sailing, Dr. Jenny took to social media to start a countdown of the last month and update her followers on how she was feeling.
“Today marks one month to go on the nine-month world cruise and I am feeling mixed emotions about it,” she says in the TikTok shared on Saturday, Aug. 10. “In the long term I’m feeling sad, anxious, and kind of dreading the end of this adventure — but on the other hand, we still have one month of cruising to go.”
