Creator's Key Takeaways

I just asked for a hot chocolate at the Avalon Cafe and got told, 'No, I couldn't have a hot chocolate. I can only have what's on the menu.'

It was very dry. It was very, very dry and very fatty. So, unfortunately, I had to sort of pretty much put my whole main meal aside tonight

We had the Rebels of Retro in the Marquee Theater doing the 80s. ... That was really cool. Got to got to see that.

Even some of the seasoned cruisers were saying they were a little bit disappointed in this cruise, but all of them were understanding that there was such a change in process

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the app for dining reservations and ensure your whole party has it installed.
Order hot chocolate from room service, as it's not available at the Avalon Cafe.
Check the Fun Times for attire guidelines, as they may differ from themed parties.
