Creator's Key Takeaways

The cruise was an amazing deal. We booked it with Magical Travel Art.

We usually cruise Royal Caribbean. Love Royal Caribbean, but Celebrity is a great brand, isn't it?

I'd never do that again. They kept saying they were coming, not coming.

For that sunshine, it was worth every penny.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book transfers in advance to avoid waiting for Ubers.
Check the Celebrity app for drink package offers to save money.
Budget for hidden costs and extras when planning a cruise.
