Creator's Key Takeaways
the first tip is to book the cabin that you want so there are a lot of cabin options and some people just choose the cheapest
tip number nine how much cashh should you bring or how much should you allocate for your trip now obviously this can vary based on the person but I would say individually you should maybe have $50 to $100 per day
tip number 16 is to only get the drink package if you're at least going to drink 10 drinks a day the maximum is 15 but if you're not even going to drink 10 drinks you do not need the cheers package
tip number 17 try all the food options on board if you can I do not recommend just going to the Leo buffet and eating that for breakfast lunch and dinner
