Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Adrian the crews and travel guy I published Cruise related videos weekly

iFly and the North Star are both popular attractions and bookings are pretty much Essential if you do want to guarantee a spot

Royal Caribbean operated ships with US Dollars as its onboard currency this is often a pain point for Aussie Cruisers

choose a cabin that is sandwiched by other cabin decks to guarantee a quieter experience

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Register for an account on the Royal Caribbean website and access your cruise planner after booking
βœ“Download the Royal Caribbean app to your smartphone or tablet
βœ“Keep an eye on your cruise planner throughout the year for sales and price changes
βœ“Bring your own hair dryer and rely on European outlets for higher consumption appliances

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Understanding onboard currency and charges β€” Royal Caribbean uses US Dollars; check your credit card's currency conversion fees and consider a cash account with daily limits
Booking attractions like iFly and North Star β€” Book in advance as slots sell out quickly; on Port days, they can be experienced at no extra cost
Choosing a quiet cabin β€” Avoid cabins directly under the pool deck or public spaces; choose one sandwiched by other cabin decks
