Creator's Key Takeaways

We're officially on board the biggest cruise ship in the entire world. Weighing in at over 250,000 gross tons.

This is by far the best cruise ship we've ever been on.

The bathroom is so different from any wa. Look at that. How that opens.

I could eat there every night.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your room cards when you leave your cabin to avoid being locked out.

✓Use the cruise planner app to pre-order items for your room.

✓If you have a baby, book daycare reservations early as they can fill up quickly.

✓Consider a guaranteed cabin if you want to save money, but be aware you might get a less ideal location.

✓Take advantage of diamond drink vouchers for specialty coffee or juice.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Storage space in cabin — Use packing cubes and utilize small shelves; the cabin feels wide but storage is unconventional.

Booking a guaranteed cabin — You might get a less ideal location like under Windjammer; if you can pick, avoid deck 14.

Traveling with a baby — Kids club is excellent; book daycare reservations early and use the provided pack and play.
