Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm turning platinum on this cruise. So, I'm pretty excited about that.
The bar was all stocked with Coke products. No more Pepsi unless you bring it on yourself.
The app was not working for us on the first night, so we had to see the dining room attendant.
The dining staff works so hard to try to make everything great and hope that you have a good experience.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Use the hub app for dining room seating, but have a backup plan if it's not working.
✓Bring your own Pepsi if you prefer it over Coke products.
✓Arrive early for embarkation to avoid crowds.
