Creator's Key Takeaways

We booked that with some points uh through IHG uh and through the credit card.

We ended up getting the biggest room in the entire hotel using points.

So, this is a free night that we got. Um, you get one free night with your IG.

Royal Caribbean at the time of this recording was allowed one bottle of wine per person per adult person going onto the cruise ship.
