Creator's Key Takeaways

The ships are very, very invested in making sure that you do not have an anaphylactic reaction on board their ship.

You absolutely do not have to talk to people. You do not have to socialize. It's all the activities that you choose.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Establish a loose routine by planning your day the night before with the daily itinerary.
✓Talk to the head waiter or maître d' for better allergy accommodations.
✓Bring a friend if you want to avoid socializing and have a safe person with you.
✓Research excursions on YouTube ahead of time to assess sensory levels.
