Creator's Key Takeaways

It smells so fresh, so clean.

I can do this again.

I love a good water bottle. Need those in my cruise life to stay hydrated with all these drinks.

The only thing is they're not easy to find and you'll have men's on one side of the hall and women's on the opposite side of the hall.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Hold your key card against the light switch to keep the lights on.
✓Put the 'Do Not Disturb' mat on the bed if you don't want daily linen cleaning.
✓If you don't complete the muster process on the first day, you have to do it on the second day and visit all muster stations.
✓Go to the Sky Bar on deck 14 for sail away to avoid crowds but still hear the music.
✓Bring a tote bag to carry things around the ship.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting lost finding public restrooms — If you don't see your restroom, go to the opposite side of the ship on the same floor.
Unfamiliarity with safety procedures — You must acknowledge watching the safety video in your cabin before heading out.
