Creator's Key Takeaways

we've never been on Cunard before and with celebrity we have all the perks because we're either in a suite and we're both Ruby with the casino program and we get all the perks but with this one we didn't have any Wi-Fi we didn't have a drink package we didn't have anything except we did have prepaid gratuities and a 300 onboard credit

the Wi-Fi is okay in the common areas of the ship but not very good at all in our cabin

the casino is so small it's tiny there's 50 machines and tables old machines old machines and six tables

it was a very stressful morning and I would never do that again so lesson learned have everything done in writing book something have a booking number reference number something

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have everything done in writing with a booking number or reference number when arranging transportation.
Book Wi-Fi devices early if needed, as cabin Wi-Fi may be poor.
Use complimentary self-service laundry on the ship to save on laundry costs.
