Creator's Key Takeaways

The start of a seven night western Caribbean cruise.

Everything was flawless getting out of the Uber, quick handoff, getting the luggage to the p those guys, you know, that handle it and everything.

The first thing that struck me as soon as we kind of walked in here and saw this is just the scale, the absolute scale of how big this ship is.

The wind jammer on Harmony of the Seas sucked. The wind jammer on Lure of the Seas. Not much better. Uh, this was this is how they should this is how it should be right here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Arrive a day before the cruise to avoid travel issues on embarkation day.

✓Use the Bright Line train from Orlando to Miami for a safe and easy journey.

✓Be prepared for the new elevator system on Icon of the Seas, which slots additional people into your elevator.
