Creator's Key Takeaways

The key to an unforgettable cruise is knowing where the best entertainment is, and most cruisers just walk right past it.

It's adorable, uplifting, and totally Instagram worthy.

They're often surprisingly emotional, hilarious, or jaw-droppingly good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Show up early to art auctions and act curious to score free art vouchers or special seating.

✓Ask the front desk about pet-related events on board, especially on transatlantic cruises.

✓Start on the green channel for your first silent disco, usually the 80s/90s channel.

✓Ask about mystery nights or themed quests when you get on board, as they're rarely advertised.

✓Check your app or daily planner for odd-sounding listings, as those are usually the best events.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Boredom at art auctions — If you're in your 20s or 30s, you might be bored, but for those a bit more mature, it's a relaxing couple of hours worth it.

Asking about pet parades on mass-market lines — Don't ask guest services on a Royal Caribbean ship about pet parades, as they don't allow pets and might look at you cross-eyed.
