Creator's Key Takeaways

The newly added El Loco Fresh is often completely empty during those first few hours.

You can grab fresh tacos, burritos, or quesadillas and actually find a seat outdoors with a breeze.

Spending that extra $100 to $200 now to handpick your location is the only way to ensure that you're not spending your vacation wishing you were somewhere else.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use El Loco Fresh for a quiet embarkation lunch instead of the crowded Windjammer.
โœ“Follow the deck eight check-in sequence to avoid embarkation day chaos.
โœ“Extend Your Stay program allows you to remain on board until late afternoon on disembarkation day.
โœ“Avoid guaranteed cabin categories and pay to choose your specific cabin number to avoid noise and poor locations.
