Creator's Key Takeaways

sometimes the experience you're expecting can be disappointing to say the least

on embarkation day you do have to go through the terminal and check-in process and it can be a pain

when you get up there it's war this is because people up there are fighting for the prime real estate in the lounge chairs

the money is typically just okay but a lot of people end up broke

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get to the pool deck early before the sun comes up to claim a lounge chair
✓Consider getting connecting cabins if cruising with a group to avoid being cramped
✓Book excursions in advance to avoid solicitation at ports
