Creator's Key Takeaways

We're eight time cruisers with uh DCL. We try to uh man, we try to spread out as far as we can.

It was a six night. Yep. All right. And you sailed over Christmas which is amazing when you know some of the very merit time cruises aren't actually over the holiday.

We got the rainforest room. I got the Paulo reservations I wanted um for both brunch and dinner.

The Christmas menu was uh good. Uh, I did something unconventional for myself. I did uh I think I did the um I did on that menu is it the the sea bass?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Tip crew members who handle your bags at the port and on the shuttle.
Consider bringing small Christmas decorations for your stateroom, but use magnets, not adhesives, for door decor.
Support local tour operators directly when possible and leave reviews for good experiences.
Over-tip crew during holiday sailings as they are working away from their families.
Book a single-day rainforest pass if you don't want to commit to a full-cruise pass.
