Creator's Key Takeaways
Club Orange was definitely worth it for us.
We saved $1,320. Okay. Which you can see from a dollar perspective, but from a time perspective totaled about three and a half hours for us.
Priority check-in at the port... we were with the first boarding group to get on the ship.
The cost $25 per person per day on cruises 1 to 12 days, $15 per person per day on cruises 13 plus days.
