Creator's Key Takeaways

It's a great top deck. It's a great ship. So, if you got a chance, totally recommend it.

If you come on a port day, you will be able to find a chair, no problem. You will have much more room in the pools or the hot tubs or anything else.

Wind jammer is not quite large enough in terms of seating.

So, quick tip, go to those things early if it's in the Star Lounge. You don't want to be standing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go to events in the Star Lounge early to avoid standing.

✓Visit the Windjammer Buffet on port days for a less crowded experience.

✓Use deck four for fresh air without going to the top deck.

✓Check the casino schedule for operating hours.
