Creator's Key Takeaways

I love new ships. It's the probably the most exciting thing we get in the cruise industry.

Icon was so groundbreaking that it really makes the followup really difficult to surpass.

Sailing from Port Canaveral is a differentiator because this is why Royal Caribbean puts ships in any particular market.

I hope they added some shade to the hideway. I will never be in the hideway until they add some shade.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check the Royal Caribbean Blog YouTube channel for a full tour of Coco Key to plan your day.
✓For Nassau, consider the Royal Beach Club as a premium all-inclusive alternative to other expensive day passes.
✓When booking Portside BBQ with the ultimate dining package, you get a stipend to use once per day at the restaurant.
