Creator's Key Takeaways

Perfect day at Coco K. It's coming in strong. Real strong.

Celebration Key is is a a a decent island. Couple of things bring it down.

Amber Cove. On my list, it is last. Um, basically what I'm telling you is to convince me otherwise.

Royal Beach Club is more of an excursion because you cannot uh visit it for free.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go late to Ocean K and use a leftover umbrella.
If you want to try different food at Celebration Key, you have to pay extra after your free meal.
Consider the heated pool at private islands during colder months.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Paying extra for adult-only areasConsider if the cost is worth it; for some, it's a one-and-done experience.
Food options on private islandsExpect finger food and simple meals; don't expect ship-quality dining.
