Nicki on Deck description on YouTube:

I help you cruise smarter on Royal Caribbean from earning free cruises through the casino to first time cruise tips. If you’ve seen me on TikTok, you already know I’m a Royal Caribbean fan who loves the casino just as much as a good suite breakfast at sea. Here I dive into: ✨How to earn free cruises with Casino Royale ✨ Tips to make the Casino Rewards program work for you ✨ Ship tours on Icon, Star, Wonder, Utopia & more ✨ CocoCay deep dives, port picks & day-pass reviews ✨ My honest takes on dining, suites, neighborhoods, and the overall cruise experience I’m a mom, a traveler, a spreadsheet-lover, and a proud casino degenerate (in the classiest way possible). If you love cruising AND casinos, you’re on the right place. Subscribe and let’s set sail!

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I personally love Icon class ships. Icon is my absolute favorite ship.

🥈ExpertNicki on Deck

Hero is doing away with that. They're adding a second pool to the Hideaway, a swim-up bar, and redesign that entire space which I think is so smart.

🥈ExpertNicki on Deck

I'm really excited about this change.
