What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œthe risotto is absolutely amazing it's like Celesta it's a 10 out of 10”

β€œThe Commodore room is a must if you're on this ship.”

β€œThe indulge food hall was amazing, but now we're off to other things.”

β€œYou got to try out Nama. It's amazing.”

The Watch-outs

β€œthis is only our fourth cruise and I don't think I've ever experienced anything this terrible this is absolutely awful”

β€œthis is absolutely terrible and they said the last Tinder is at 6 this looks like it's going to take about a couple hours”

β€œword of advice if you ever go into Cobble Stan Lucas just stay on the ship don't get off unless you want to deal with the tindering”

β€œthe Gum Wall is just gross”

β€œwe finally found the MCO port and I get to the building and all the doors are locked”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Food & Drink Chronicles.

  1. Come to the Commodore Room before 5:30 to avoid crowds.

  2. If you want two entrees, be aware there's a $5 charge.

  3. Go hungry to specialty dining as it's more food than complimentary places.

  4. Skip the all-inclusive package and just get beach and water park access.

  5. Bring closed-toed shoes if you want to do the zipline.

  6. Be prepared to go barefoot and remove extra items for water slides.

  7. Check in early to avoid delays at security.

  8. Visit the Indulge Food Hall for diverse, light dining options.
