Creator's Key Takeaways

The longer the cruise, the better. Period. The end.

We felt very safe doing that because we knew that the cast members would would take complete care with you know um for them.

I would never blame the cast members, but they just don't have the time to get to know you at all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Request 1923 as your first restaurant on the Wish for a quieter experience, especially with food allergies.
Book at least yourself and your wife for Paulo brunch if you can't book your friends, as it might be easier to move from a two-top to a four-top.
On a seven-night cruise, the rainforest room is worth it; on a shorter cruise, the value may not be there.

Short cruise may not allow enough time to enjoy the shipA five-night cruise would be better than a four-night; seven nights is ideal to get to know the ship and cast members.
