I'm actually quite surprised by how much I like this room. It does of course come with an extra cost.

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.
“We had the perfect day in Curacel.”
“Oh my god, that was out of this world.”
“So overall, is it worth it? Absolutely.”
“If you take an Alaskan cruise, you got to get at least one whale watching excursion in. And yes, you will see whales from the cruise ship, but a whale watching experience or excursion gets you up much more close and personal.”
“For 40 bucks, you get a British Colonial day pass that is taxes and fees included, and it includes a meal.”
“A band-aid, an ink pen, a fake eyelash, straws, a child's plastic spider ring, must have been Halloween, coins, and a nose ring hoop.”
“I kind of hate it.”
“I can't imagine trying to live my best life, even into my older age, not feeling well on an excursion and being told we'll just head back. It's just absolutely heartbreaking, unforgivable, and devastating.”
“one man on Rap City of the Seas a few days ago took this literally and jumped off the ship because he incurred a massive gambling debt on the ship.”
“Bar none the worst cruise experience I've ever had. Both ship, food, service, everything.”
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Professor Melissa.
Check itinerary language specifically for 'full transit', 'partial transit', or 'port of call' to avoid booking errors.
Set your alarm earlier than the published canal transit time as announcements can be quiet.
Splurge on a balcony stateroom to comfortably watch the canal transit.
Book cruise line excursions in advance for Panama (Colon) because independent shore excursions may not be possible during Gatun Lake transits.
In Cartagena, prioritize the walled city in the morning to avoid heat and aggressive vendors.
Use headphones or AirPods for music instead of playing it out loud.
If you are able-bodied and only traveling one or two decks, take the stairs to leave elevators for those with mobility issues.
Respect designated smoking areas and avoid smoking on balconies.
