Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we paid just $500 for a 3-day cruise on the Carnival Radiance over at Memorial Day weekend.

The food here on the Carnival Radiance way better than expected.

Our inside cabin on deck 6 again was nothing fancy but super clean.

The vibe here was fun. Families chill, not the wild party crowd people warned us about.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask your cabin steward for a mattress topper if you're looking to combine the two twin beds.
