Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on a two nighter sailing that's a shakedown cruise and they'll be on the first revenue sailing I've ever 24th

the hair dryers they are very underpowered so she always brings her own

shakedown cruise is is a not it's not open to guests it's basically when the crew do a test run

I would recommend getting a day pass to the British colonial Hilton I think it's a really good choice there

Book drink packages before cruise to lock in price and avoid increases
Use the Royal Caribbean app to unlock stateroom doors on Oasis of the Seas
