Creator's Key Takeaways

We just spent 22 days on an Osmara cruise and there were some things that weren't necessarily in the videos or some of the information was really outdated.

The total value that came to us from the indulgence comparison was $4,375. We paid $1,699.

We were very impressed with that. It's all about brands, though, when you get to the premium and the ultimate levels.

The turnaround time is really good as well. We would turn it in 9:00 in the morning. It would be back following afternoon late.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research bathroom size before booking a standard room if you are tall, have mobility issues, or are claustrophobic.
Pre-book indulgence packages and shore excursions a couple months before your cruise to secure availability.
Register for the 5% onboard credit promo before making final payment to ensure you receive it.
Book specialty dining reservations online when they open to get preferred times and tables.
Pick up or take a picture of the daily port and event schedule for theme nights and special events.
