What Creators Are Saying About Nicki on Deck
I've cruised a lot. I've never had an issue with that. I've never had an issue with that.
Matt
Celebrity Beyond passed our imbarcation day test, but honestly that was not the test I was worried about.

The currency you use on board depends entirely on where the ship departs. Sailing from Australia to the US, then you'll be charged in Australian dollars.

I think something that I really want to get back to are these weekly vlogs. I think you guys really enjoy them and I want to just, you know, even if it's not a magical week

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“It feels much more alive than the original versions and is absolutely beautiful.”
“I personally love the Supper Club experience on Icon class ships. I've been to all three, and they are all just absolutely fantastic.”
“The entertainment, especially on Legend of the Seas, is next level. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Aqua Show, The Ice Show, they are amazing, amazing productions.”
“Embarcation day on an icon class ship does not have to be overwhelming if you know how to plan it.”
“The overall feel of this ship, with nearly 8,000 people on it, is genuinely more open, more spacious, and a little more relaxed than ships half its size.”
“My biggest complaint about this ship, the Wi-Fi was not good. So, it'd be great if they could upgrade that.”
“It can feel very crowded if you're on the wall side in the evenings. It's hard to get through.”
“Leave around 10:30 or 11 from the ship because that port of Costa in the morning was pure insanity and nothing but crowds.”
“They didn't have promotional chips. We always use our free play for blackjack and they didn't have the right promotional chips for us.”
“I do feel like this casino is not my favorite in the Royal Caribbean fleet. I prefer the size and width in particular of the Oasis class casinos.”
Pro Tips From Creators

If you're looking to splurge or have a special event to celebrate, I highly recommend Hollywood Land Supper Club.
Check with the casino host to see if you earned an instant certificate if you hit 400 points.
Take a picture of the awards chart at the casino host desk for future reference.
Book a 'Next Cruise Book Later' reservation via the app before leaving the ship to get bonus free play or itineraries.
Convert earned points into free play ($1 for every 50 points) on your last night to avoid losing them.
Learn the ship layout via the app and deck plans before boarding.
Visit the box office on day one if shows appear full in the app.
Press the elevator button multiple times if traveling in a large group.
