What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

โ€œOverall strawberry experience 10. That was my favorite thing so far.โ€

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

โ€œI give it like a 9 out of 10. It was a good experience. The fish quality was amazing.โ€

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

โ€œThis has changed Nassau for me. I feel like when we book cruises, like when we're looking at booking cruises now as guests, a huge turnoff used to be, ah, it's just Nassau and Coco Cay.โ€

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

โ€œUltimately, what we loved so much about coming here was all the time that we weren't worrying about that and we were just with our friends.โ€

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

โ€œIt is worth it just for the drinks alone.โ€

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn
The Watch-outs

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

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

โ€œI'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.โ€

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

โ€œThis 3-day cruise has cost me $1,500.โ€

๐Ÿ…AuthorityBryan and Jaidyn

โ€œwe had to wear helmets everywhere we went not just like in the shipyard but everywhere on the ship itself indoors Outdoors while we were eatingโ€

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Bryan and Jaidyn.

  1. Don't arrive at Tsukiji Fish Market at 6:45 AM; 8:00 AM is sufficient as stalls open at 8.

  2. If you don't have to take the subway, walk instead to explore the city.

  3. Come a day early to avoid red-eye flights.

  4. If you have bags, keep it chill until your cabin is assigned.

  5. For a short fun cruise with friends, Royal Beach Club is the spot.

  6. Come a little bit earlier than you're anticipating for boarding.

  7. Be patient with the elevator process.

  8. Take the stairs if elevators are busy.
