I can't recommend it enough.

The Watch-outs

these changes went over like a lead balloon

🥉KnowledgeableBrent’s Crossroads

Everything they built into the program, they're stripping away

🥉KnowledgeableBrent’s Crossroads

The next level will always be unobtainable for most cruisers.

🥉KnowledgeableBrent’s Crossroads

They pretty much gaslight us into believing it's our fault for advancing through the system that they set up.

🥉KnowledgeableBrent’s Crossroads

we spent the summer, most of our loyal guests with the impression that loyalty was being overlooked and spit on and kicked under the rug

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Brent’s Crossroads.

  1. Catch the buffet at the American Diner to avoid the rush at the Garden Cafe.

  2. Do not fill up at the salad bar at Moderno's because there are 10 different meats to try.

  3. If you want to make the most of the time on the ship, you may need to stay on the ship in the morning and get off later.

  4. Go to Headliners to book dining times as soon as you get on.

  5. Start at the back of the Garden Buffet to avoid crowds.

  6. Book your time in advance for the Ice Bar.

  7. Shop around for hotel prices, as the hotel site may be cheaper than Expedia.

  8. Come in the night before your cruise to use Miami Beach as a launchpad.
