Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ask about gluten-free options at the buffet, but be prepared for potential inconvenience.

✓Consider the all-day pass for the coaster if you plan to ride it multiple times.

✓Don't feel pressured to book spa treatments on the first day; you can get massages cheaper on land.

We sat down to talk about her expectations and the realisation of what it was actually like onboard. #cruise #cruiseline #royalcaribbean Get my NEW BOOK!
