Creator's Key Takeaways

But after nearly 30 cruises, that's how many I've sailed.

I've seen discussion of this exact thing on social media with many people calling the hot tubs human soup and saying that they avoid them as well.

The food itself, well, the best way to describe it is that it's buffet quality. It's not bad, but it's not the best.

What I found is that these excursions actually they still give you the most memorable experiences that you'll ever have on your cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid hot tubs when they are crowded.
✓Mix up dining options instead of relying solely on the buffet.
✓Don't board the ship super early to avoid crowds and wait for your cabin.
✓Never smuggle items onto the ship due to risks and crackdowns.
✓Stand to the side to let people off elevators before boarding.
✓Avoid buying expensive artwork on the ship.
