Creator's Key Takeaways

This is an interesting layout. This one is definitely a bit smaller than the last one because this is a junior ocean view instead of a fulls size ocean view.

We got the information about our itinerary changing because of bad weather. We're going to stay in New York City overnight...

I just noticed my diamond amenities aren't here. No water, no chocolate, no macarons...

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring gloves for cold weather at the cruise terminal.

✓Check your stateroom for loyalty amenities upon arrival.

✓Use the TV channels to simulate a window if you have an interior room.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cold weather at departure — Bring gloves and dress warmly for the terminal.

Itinerary changes — Be flexible; weather can affect plans, but safety is prioritized.

Stateroom size — Junior ocean view rooms are smaller; consider a full-size ocean view for more space.
