Creator's Key Takeaways

I would do a standing reservation every single day, and I would pre-book that.

I would go and check my bed's comfort level right away.

We buy these to make our beds more comfortable, especially on Royal Caribbean, and it makes a huge difference.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-book shows through the cruise line's app when available, and check newsletters for show schedules.
Order room service or eat in the main dining room for a quieter breakfast instead of the buffet.
Ask about loyalty discounts for spa and thermal spa services.
Check your bed's comfort level immediately upon cabin access and request a mattress topper if needed.
