Creator's Key Takeaways

I am blown away by how amazing this cruise is.

This is probably the best solo cabin I have seen on any cruise ship.

Bora was hands down the best specialty restaurant I have ever had on a ship.

The drinks on this ship with gratuitities, they're starting at $19.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book dinner at Bora for the best specialty dining experience.
โœ“Arrive early for shows in the bazaar or club to get a good view.
โœ“Consider the drink package if you plan to drink frequently due to high prices.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Solo travelers may feel excluded or struggle to meet people โ€” The ship has solo cabins and friendly guests, but Celebrity doesn't actively foster solo traveler connections.
Pricing for solo travelers is higher than double occupancy โ€” Be prepared to pay a premium; look for deals, but know that solo pricing can be over 200% of double occupancy.
