Creator's Key Takeaways

As usual, we paid for this cruise ourselves. We haven't been invited or paid to be here, so you're getting the unfiltered truth as we explore every corner.

This isn't just a ship. It's a floating city, and we're here on the maiden voyage.

We have arrived. That was really easy. Parking was $90, I think it was. And we've got the luxury of being on the roof, which is the face of the sun.

The biggest cruise ship in the world. She looks brand spanking new as well. She looks so fresh and lovely.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Royal Caribbean app to handle admin before arriving at the port.
Stick to your port arrival time to avoid being turned away.
Book entertainment and shows in advance as they sell out quickly.
Avoid the buffet on boarding day due to crowds; opt for the marketplace instead.
