Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Melanin Pride Travels.

If you want a root beer float, get a soda from the galley and ice cream from Lick Me Till I Scream to avoid extra charges.
The main pool gets crowded very fast, so you'll need to come out early to secure a spot.
Use the hand washing stations at Gunbae if you need them.
If you are interested in balcony privacy, note that people on higher decks can look down into your balcony.
Set a timer for your all-aboard time 1-2 hours prior to avoid being late.
If traveling solo to beach clubs, try to make friends in Facebook groups to split taxi costs.
Wait until the last day of the cruise to buy ship merchandise to take advantage of sales.
Book your next cruise or put a future cruise deposit on board and let them know you're working with a travel agent.
