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.”
“For 40 bucks, you get a British Colonial day pass that is taxes and fees included, and it includes a meal.”
“At the end of the day, do you need to pay for anything at Coco K? Absolutely not. You don't have to spend a single dime to have a great day at Coco K.”
“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.
If you value dining flexibility, book the Aurea experience to avoid fixed dining times.
Manage your expectations regarding service and food consistency, as they can vary significantly from sailing to sailing.
Confirm the total taxi price before getting in and ask if the bridge toll is included when going to Paradise Island.
Book day passes ahead of time as popular options can sell out during peak periods.
Compare third-party booking sites against cruise line prices, as third-party is almost always cheaper.
Check towel policies in advance, as some expensive water parks require you to bring your own.
Always do the cruise math on your own habits before you ever buy any package, especially the drink package.
Look up your exact ship's youth program hours and the rates before you sail and try to plan your activities and your nights around the free window.
