Creator's Key Takeaways
Skip the first elevator bank you see. On my last trip on Symphony of the Seas, I stood there watching three completely full elevators go by.
Order two main courses. I once couldn't decide between the grilled salmon and the brazed short ribs, so I ordered both.
Ask the crew to split your double bed into two twins, even if you're traveling with your spouse.
Skip a port day entirely and stay on the ship. While everyone else is elbowing through souvenir shops, you're slipping into a jacuzzi with an empty horizon all to yourself.
