Creator's Key Takeaways

I really did not expect there to be I knew there would be good food I just didn't expect there to be this much good food

I've eaten all the things Robert I've eaten all the things I've eaten all of them

it's the number one cruise ship pizza but it's only number two behind Don Antonio in New York so that is the second best gluten-free pizza I've ever had

we did manage to pack for 9 days in a carry-on even with our water gear and all my tech gear

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a Stanley cup or insulated mug to keep coffee hot for hours
βœ“Be prepared for shopping with a healthy budget at Kites in St. Kitts
βœ“Bring a jacket as the air conditioning is cold and venues vary in temperature
βœ“If you have a tight connection, ask for a 'late checkout' as they are very accommodating

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship navigation β€” The layout is different and you have to get used to it, as you can't always go from front to back through the middle of the ship
What to wear β€” Casual outfits are common; the creator wore shorts and a top for embarkation and a dress for Scarlet Night
Crowds β€” The ship felt spacious with many quiet nooks, and the atmosphere was friendly without rowdiness
