Creator's Key Takeaways

It's our first cruise of 2026. And it's 6:25 a.m. because we are headed down to Port Miami.

We are now prime status in Royal Caribbean's casino. So, that just comes with a few perks and we can't wait to experience those.

I love this ship. It's the desert pear margarita for me and a Titos and cranberry for Gary to a great cruise to us on the freedom of the seas.

We have express boarding. We'll see how that looks here in Miami at terminal AA and we'll show it to you as we get there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check Cruise Mapper to see how many ships are in port that day.
Use Premier Cruise Parking for convenient and cheaper parking.
Get express boarding via the Royal Caribbean app 24 hours before your cruise.
