Creator's Key Takeaways

I thought, 'Hey, you know, how bad can it be?' Right. Sam and Brian didn't hate it, right?

Lookout was just stunning. That that is a gorgeous beach.

I would be perfectly happy never sailing on Royal again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a travel agent to handle repricing and customer service issues.

✓Book through Costco Travel for potential onboard credit or shop card benefits.

✓Check YouTube videos for specific room views before booking.

✓Consider Oasis class ships for a better Royal Caribbean experience with young kids.
