Creator's Key Takeaways

Now, me personally, I could have five sea days in a row and be perfectly happy.

It really gives you true relaxation, which is what a vacation should be about.

I don't think I would ever book an itinerary again that didn't have a C day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have one or two anchor activities to look forward to on a sea day.
Move around the ship to enjoy the whole thing and break up the day.
Avoid peak times by getting up earlier or having breakfast later.
Get to the pool early to secure a chair.
Adjust your expectations to enjoy the floating resort experience.
