Creator's Key Takeaways

Green means your forward to represent the sea towards the front of the ship. Silver means your midship and represents the moon.

Ask for a cabin blanket early on in your cruise. Uh post-it notes are perfect for this. Um we requested one for our sale into Olden. Um and they can run out.

One of our favorite activities was the silent disco um during our seven night cruise. It was held twice um up in the Sky Dome and it was a fantastic atmosphere.

If virtual dining is showing fully booked, then don't give up. We found Olive Grove was fully booked within minutes of dining opening up. Uh, but when we went to the restaurant in person, they gave us a buzzer.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a photo of your cabin number as it's not printed on your cruise card.
Use the colored discs in stairwells and lift colors to navigate the ship.
Check the Horizon newsletter every evening for daily deals and cocktail of the day.
Arrive at least 15 minutes early for cinema showings to get a good seat.
Ask for a cabin blanket early in your cruise, especially for chilly mornings in port.
