Creator's Key Takeaways

one of the very first mistakes that you can make is booking the wrong kind of cabin

not booking your specialty restaurants ahead of time

we got a drink package included with our cruise and it really was at no additional cost

you can put as many devices as you want on one internet package they just cannot be on at the same time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look at the deck plan and choose a cabin with rooms above and below for quieter surroundings
Book specialty restaurants before boarding to secure reservations
Check your VIFP account for deals before and during your cruise
Share one internet package among multiple devices if not used simultaneously
Make dining room reservations in the app ahead of time for My Time Dining
Plan your meal times and check app hours for food venues to avoid limited options
