Creator's Key Takeaways

It's my second time on the ship with Matthew. Sharon and Cali are here. It's going to be their first time.

This melting cake is half the size of any other melting cake. I don't know if it's the Fenz or I don't know if it's Carnival continuing to cut cost in places.

All afternoon the smart elevators were a total nightmare. I mean, it took forever to wait cuz people don't know how to use them.

We're diamond. For now, we're diamond until they take our status away.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your toiletries in a carry-on so you have what you need right away.

✓Do your muster drill as soon as you get on the ship to avoid being called later.

✓Pick your battles with guest services lines; wait if it can wait until the next day.
