Creator's Key Takeaways

We're recapping our trip on the Independence of the Seas. So, we did a 4-day cruise to Perfect Day at Coco K and a lift out of Miami.

This was a hurricane cruise. Yeah. So, we found out that Hurricane Helen Helen was on her way towards us.

The hurricane sail away actually wasn't too bad.

The food at Coco K is superior. It really is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Tip your people who help you at the cruise port.
If you want to sail out of Miami at night, go in the winter.
Consider booking a cassita on a port day for a cheaper exclusive experience.
