Creator's Key Takeaways

for our 7-Day cruise we just took it was $378 a person yeah that that is amazing

the pizza was fresh some of the best pizza I've ever had on sea and the coffee was um there's a separate gelato station

their private island it is really lovely ocean K is a a beautiful place

they will match your loyalty status on other cruise lines so for us we're pretty high up in Royals uh Caribbean program and they matched it uh fantastic

Creator's Tips & Advice

Reserve your entertainment shows as soon as you get on ship
