Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for D&G Travels.

  1. If you want pizza at an Italian specialty restaurant on Royal Caribbean, choose Giovanni's as Jamie's does not serve it.

  2. Drop your bags at the room before exploring so you don't have to carry them around.

  3. Book the galley tour if invited for a unique behind-the-scenes experience.

  4. Try the steak and lobster at Hooked for a great meal.

  5. Consider longer cruises (6-8 nights) for a less rushed experience.

  6. Bring your own towels to the water park to avoid rental fees.

  7. Do the beach first and finish at the water park for easier departure.

  8. Consider booking the excursion through the ship for a better deal.
