Creator's Key Takeaways

I mentioned a lot about the technology and all the failures that were going on throughout the ship and the boarding process.

We've had them all day. Um, not sure how much of it is the ship itself, but we've seen a lot of creaking.

Overall, it seemed very simplistic for a Royal Caribbean show nowadays.

Pretty much all of Royal Caribbean's promises did come to light once again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the daily compass for event changes, as it may be minimalistic.
Book Flow Rider sessions early, as private sessions are available for a fee.
