Creator's Key Takeaways

the toilet paper is absolutely terrible it's single ply it's about as comfortable as newspaper and it's just not great

passengers that are rude to crew members my goodness I get so irate about this

anything below it's 10 or a perfect score is a fail which is a real problem

the gratuities are compulsory let's face it you're going to pay the gratuities for it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring cream or splurge for a suite with a bidet to deal with poor toilet paper
Book private excursions or do things on your own instead of group shore excursions
Take medication or homeopathic treatments to prevent seasickness
Reapply sunscreen regularly to prevent sunburn
