Creator's Key Takeaways

we've gone on Norwegian and Carnival and typically they have request slips and they're interacting with you and guys I was only doing Motown

there's plenty to do without even dropping a penny so that was awesome

we have to say the quest is a must-see show it is a variety show that involves the entire crowd having a blast

the water while being very cold was crystal clear and we got to see some really cool fish and Jellyfish

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your own snorkel gear to avoid rental fees
✓Check out The Quest game show for adult-oriented entertainment
✓Use towel clips to keep curtains shut for sleeping in
✓Visit The Cove for a secluded, quiet spot with free chairs
✓Consider the Chops Plus package for specialty dining value
