Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome to our grand 10th anniversary trip! For the first time, we are traveling to Europe, and we are checking several bucket list items along the way!

It was kind of expensive but the experience was good if I can remember when we're on board and have Wi-Fi I'll check and try to get to the exact price slipped me right now but totally worth it

so far this has been very pleasant not hectic and very very very very organized

this is what we are here for big Square shower yay

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Royal Caribbean's official shuttle service from Rome city center to avoid taxi difficulties and long walks at the port.
Book an obstructed view balcony on Quantum class ships for a potentially better value with minimal obstruction.
Start your first night at Playmakers on ships that have it to enjoy snacks throughout the cruise.
