The Good

This is what I think is like the best restaurant, not only on ships, but one of the best I've ever been to in my life.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

We've loved this cruise. We can't say it enough.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

Overall strawberry experience 10. That was my favorite thing so far.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

Pearl Cafe, I think, is one of the best things that's ever happened to a Royal Caribbean ship.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

Royal is still the absolute best when it comes to just getting the whole sign on process done.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn
The Watch-outs

now i'm moving to the smallest room i've ever lived in oh my god the smallest cabin

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

I'm not going to lie, I don't love it. Try it. Try that one. This one's too fishy for me.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

I've done I think six Christmases or seven Christmases on ships and I can't think back to any of them as being like that was a great Christmas.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

This 3-day cruise has cost me $1,500.

🏅AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

we had to wear helmets everywhere we went not just like in the shipyard but everywhere on the ship itself indoors Outdoors while we were eating

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Bryan and Jaidyn.

  1. Check out the wine flight at Gio's Wine Bar; it's affordable and high quality.

  2. Look for the master light switch near the bed so you don't have to get out of bed to turn off the lights.

  3. Use the Crown Lounge for free food and drinks if you have loyalty status.

  4. If you have kids, head to Surfside to avoid the main pool crowds.

  5. If you ever get a no [on a reservation], call back 20 minutes later. There's a good chance you'll get a different crew member. You'll get a yes.

  6. Don't expect perfect weather in Alaska; we just got really lucky.

  7. Rent a car via Turo to see ports at your own pace and avoid expensive tour buses.

  8. Even if an excursion says it is sold out, try showing up; it might not be.
