Creator's Key Takeaways

Ships are safest when they're in the harbor, but that's not why they're built.

I've done 19 cruises at this time and I usually do have a veranda but I am guilty every single cruise of not spending enough time on my veranda.

I'm excited for this. So this is going to be Jared and Stacy's first time. Shout out to Jared and Stacy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have a couple of backups from your primary ADRs.
Plan out your vacation days and tailor your ADRs around where you will be in the parks.
Search for a broad window when booking ADRs and use spreadsheets to stay organized.
