Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently sailed on one of Royal Caribbean's oldest cruise ships and it was a good reminder of a few different tips and some new experiences I got to try

I was sailing solo on this one going on seren the Seas for a five night Western cing cruise out of Tampa Florida

the second lesson from sailing on serenade of the Seas is not all the cabins got upgrades from the world Cruise

the third lesson from my seren the Seas cruise is that the smoke factor from the casino can be problematic at times

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-book parking at Tampa port to avoid availability issues
Bring a natural light alarm clock for inside cabins to help with time perception
Spend time in the Solarium on Radiance-class ships for a great adult-only experience
Visit the helipad at the front of the ship for great views, especially at sunrise
Use the outdoor seating in the Wind Jammer for uncrowded dining with wake views
