Creator's Key Takeaways

First day down $860 between the both of us.

Priority access does not get you early access to your room, which I originally thought.

I'm a little underwhelmed by the food.

We're still going to have a good time. Obviously.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring $1 bills for tipping and breaking bills.
โœ“Make specialty dining reservations early to avoid long lines.
โœ“Be prepared for potential confusion during embarkation, especially with priority access.
