What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

The show was spectacular. Breathtaking. It was and it was just joyful.

that was honestly such a special moment that we will never forget

If your idea of a brilliant holiday is slowing down for a couple of weeks, properly switching off, enjoying the ship itself, and treating the journey as part of the experience

The scale of it is fab. Like all the pyrochnics. And the jet skis going around soaking people.

It's so good. I challenge anyone to find a more talented cast than the ones doing Jewel Reality.

The Watch-outs

I'm calling BS because we know it was in here. It's not in here now. The only person that's been in here, as far as we're aware, is the housekeeper.

We were physically assaulted by this lady.

it reminds me of when you're sick and you've got nothing left in your stomach and that bile comes out

It was the fact that she went straight to violence full-blown anger and violence.

it smells like acid reflux acid reflux in a glass

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Travels with David and Mark.

  1. Don't watch the Panama Canal transit from the same spot; move around the ship to see the locks from the bow, side, and aft.

  2. If you want to avoid getting soaked at the WaterWorld show, don't sit in the green seats.

  3. For the Mummy ride, don't put your phone in the locker because you'll need your park pass to open it.

  4. Please, I implore you, wait for your group before you enter a line. Don't send one person in and then six other people follow you

  5. Reserve your park days in advance; buying tickets alone is not enough.

  6. Bring hoodies or extra layers for nighttime shows as it gets chilly.

  7. Check out the daily specials in the galley and across all restaurants on longer sailings.

  8. If you can afford it, using an airport lounge is a game changer.
