Creator's Key Takeaways

If you get a late booking, so 9:00 onwards. You may still have to queue to wait to get in cuz the the experience takes so long.

The best time to have it is in the morning when it's it it's a it's a beautiful shape. Classic bunt shape.

The perch, which is right at the very top. And the reason I've done that is because this is the quietest part of the ship if you want to sunbathe without the music.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Treat late-night Gumbay reservations as a 'supper' rather than dinner due to the long experience time.

✓Order the Korean chicken at Gumbay.

✓Try the sticky toffee pudding during brunch for a fresher, moister experience.

✓Visit the 'forgotten' bar (formerly Rasledazzle/Red Bar) for a chilled atmosphere.

✓Use the area adjacent to the Grounds Club for quiet coffee and people watching instead of the busy club itself.

✓Head to 'The Perch' for sunbathing if you want to avoid loud music by the main pool.

Finding quiet spaces — Use the area near the Grounds Club for coffee or head to The Perch for sunbathing.

Dining timing — If booking late at Gumbay, don't expect a quick meal; treat it as a late supper.
