Creator's Key Takeaways

It is families with teens and tween because you have so many attractions where the kids actually have to be about 48 in high to ride.

I could have stayed on board for weeks and weeks and weeks and had an incredible time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider booking a Vibe Beach Club pass for a quieter, adults-only area.
For Alaska, don't worry about the cold; summer temperatures are manageable.
If you have a large family, look for creative cabin configurations on certain decks.
