Creator's Tips & Advice

✓For first-time cruisers, just get the lay of the land, understand the ship, and explore the top deck to see where everything is.

✓If you have motion sickness, overprepare with sea bands, medicine, mints, and gum, but you might not need them.

✓Take the opportunity to meet characters in special costumes when they appear, as they might not be available later.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Motion sickness — Bring sea bands, medicine, mints, and gum; overprepare but you might not need them.

Feeling overwhelmed on embarkation day — Explore the ship, get the lay of the land, and then have lunch at Cabanas.
