Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to tell you five things you should avoid on a roller cruise and also some great Alternatives that I think you'll enjoy

the buffet really full and there's long lines for the buffet stations but it becomes nearly impossible to get a table

I think there are better ways to enjoy sailway

snorkeling at Perfect Day CI might not be a great idea

Creator's Tips & Advice

Skip the buffet on embarkation day and go to a specialty restaurant or grab-and-go alternative
Avoid the sailaway party and instead enjoy your balcony, visit a bar, or take a nap
Skip snorkeling at Perfect Day at CocoCay and instead use the Oasis Lagoon or visit Hideaway Beach
Skip Chops Grill and try 150 Central Park, Giovanni's Italian Table, or the Coco Beach Club for steak
Skip magician or juggler shows and see production shows, pub singers, or Schooner bar performers
