Creator's Key Takeaways

We are the first ones on board. We can access our rooms early.

We were transported there literally. We went in a time machine and once we got there, we were asked not to film anymore.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you have your boarding documents and ID ready for quick check-in.
Open the Celebrity Today planner to find your excursion tickets.
Make a reservation for dining to avoid wait times between 6:15 and 7:30.
