Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Fill out the journey preferences survey on the website before you embark to customize your bed, pillows, and room fragrances.
βœ“Ask your room steward to swap out beverages if the pre-stocked options aren't to your liking.
βœ“Be careful when reaching back to plug or unplug from the outlets in the console to avoid breaking the glass.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Low cabin ceilings β€” If you're over 65 or tall, beware the drop ceiling above the bed, which the creators called the 'skull crusher'.
Limited storage in living area β€” The built-in shelf isn't functional for storage; keep surfaces clean to avoid clutter.
