Creator's Key Takeaways

We are going on the Carnival Radiance. It's a four-night cruise that'll make stops at Catalina Island and Enzanata.

Carnival really knows how to throw a big sail away party. It was definitely a happening place.

Catalina was beautiful. If you haven't been there, um, check it out. Especially on a good day.

It has been a lot of fun. You know, I was wondering about a four night cruise. It has so many of the same things as a seven night, but it's really crammed into four.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your comedy show early as seats fill up quickly.
Use the app to select disembarkation time for a smoother process.
For late-night ice cream, go to the aft pool on deck nine.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

What to wear on formal nightThere is a wide variety of attire, from formal to casual; don't worry if you're not too dressy.
Finding loungers on sea dayThere were plenty of loungers available, even midday; you don't need to rush.
