Creator's Key Takeaways
The very first ship I ever set sail on. And it's incredible to see it closer to Explorer One, which I'm boarding today.
It feels so good meeting, seeing some of the friendly faces of the crew that I already know.
This will be my home for the next days. ... So, this is going to be a good place.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Arrive early for embarkation, but be prepared to wait if check-in hasn't opened.
✓Use the theater for assembly if it's raining or crowded.
✓Check other videos for how the marketplace buffet works.
✓For cabanas, come early as they are first-come, first-serve and no payment is required.
