Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on two other cruises they were smaller carnival ships so it was quite a different experience

I definitely think I would have went on Carnival instead simply because you know the smaller ships are cheaper

I really enjoyed my experiences just know what you're getting into when you're getting onto one of these ships

I was extremely impressed with the food

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't go to the Windjammer buffet; try the Solarium Cafe, WIPO Cafe, or Johnny Rockets for breakfast
✓Consider the drink package if you plan to have specialty coffees, bottled water, soda, or a few drinks
✓Do your research on independent excursions to avoid missing the ship
✓Book a central part view room for good natural light and a view

Missing the ship during independent excursions — Research reviews, choose companies with guarantees, and ensure you have enough time

I am still a bit of a novice cruiser (though I research and learn endlessly). This video breaks down my feelings after doing a mega-ship for the first time! Pros might not learn too much but hopefully there will be some advice you can use.
