Creator's Key Takeaways

We were on the ship at 10:40 and it was completely a non-issue that we had different check-in times.

They cleared our ship to self-disembark at 6:45. We left the ship at 7:00. We were in our lift by 7:25.

If you're struggling with the dining times I think our recommendation is just go talk to the matrad and they might be able to work something out for you that will work well.

Overall, it didn't feel old and worn out, but maybe a little bit in the cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go talk to the maitre d' if you're struggling with dining times.
Request a fan from guest services if you have an adjoining cabin for noise.
Bring a Hawaiian or Caribbean-style shirt for theme nights.

Formal nights on a port dayFormal nights were on sea days, which was helpful for getting ready.
