Creator's Key Takeaways

We were on the Carnival Sunrise out of Miami and then Navigator of the Seas out of the East Coast.

I might have a new favorite ship. I mean, we've been on a lot of ships and I loved Navigator for so many reasons.

The Pacific Ocean was different. That's what was different.

East versus West. How was the boarding and the MDR seating process and how did they differ?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the Flow Rider on Royal Caribbean ships for stand-up surfing.
Book group cruises for a more social experience.
Check for smart elevator features on newer ships.
