Creator's Key Takeaways

the crew was so excited to be on i've never had better service and the the talent the shows that they had they had the best talent ever

it was definitely wonderful and i actually think it's one of the safest place to be now because they the protocol that they have in place makes it safe

i have never seen it on a quantum class ship and i loved the size of it when i took pictures on the outside it looks huge but the way it's arranged on the inside it just doesn't seem overwhelmingly big

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Make sure you have a raincoat, waterproof shoes, shorts, a bathing suit, and light tops for an Alaska cruise.
โœ“Don't wait to book cruises two years out; look at a month out and book now.
โœ“For multi-generational cruising, consider booking with both Royal Caribbean and Norwegian with fully refundable deposits to see which allows children.
