Creator's Key Takeaways

The ice show. Really, if if you're on a ship, if you're on a royal ship that has has the Studio B, uh go to that ice show.

We probably were all in under under $1,000 for for the cruise. So, that's that's really good value.

Would I go on that cruise with that itinerary again? Uh and the answer is yes, I would.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring multi-USB adapters for power solutions in the cabin.
โœ“Plan activities for Ensenada as the port area itself is limited.
โœ“Use the stairs if elevator wait times are long.

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

Staying in an interior cabin โ€” It can be functional and small, but organize well; virtual balcony is a plus.
Port stops like Ensenada being uninteresting โ€” You have to find activities or excursions; don't expect a charming port area.
