What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œLoved the size of the ship. It's not the mega ship. Very manageable, very fun, lots to do on board, lots to eat on board, and it couldn't have been any better.”

β€œWe're never leaving this room.”

β€œThe day was amazing. Everything was amazing.”

β€œ250,000 oh my God oh my God 200 $150,000 what is happening make it happen we did this”

β€œmy final rating on Utopia is going to be five stars two thumbs up 10 out of 10”

The Watch-outs

β€œThe bar service was horrendous.”

β€œWe waited 30 minutes to order a drink earlier and then we waited another 30 minutes and she never came back with it.”

β€œ85% maybe 90% of the people on this cruise ship did not speak English.”

β€œmy blood pressure was 70s over 30s or 40s for a long time and it made me very very very sick”

β€œYou cannot have a drink in the pool.”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Make It Happen With Don.

  1. Be careful with slot machines; the creator accidentally bet $60 a spin twice and lost all money.

  2. Get up early in the morning at the Windjammer if you don't want it to be crowded.

  3. If you are looking for a better show and dining experience than Mayfair Supper Club, try Superfrico at Cosmopolitan.

  4. Take a taxi from the airport instead of waiting for Uber/Lyft to save time; the taxi line is usually empty and offers a flat rate.

  5. Buy a large water bottle at the airport duty-free shop to refill in your hotel room to save money.

  6. If casino drink service is too slow, it may be more efficient to buy drinks at a bar rather than waiting for free floor service.

  7. Bring sunscreen, but don't worry if you forgetβ€”SPF 50 and 30 are available at the club.

  8. Don't grab towels immediately; there are multiple towel stands throughout the club.
