Creator's Key Takeaways

We have a love-hate relationship with this cruise line because for us it's not about the beauty of the ship and I mean they are beautiful, but it's about the service and the food.

The reality of cruise boarding is not always smooth. So we made it, but I will tell y'all this line is crazy.

This cabin needs to be cleaned again. It's obviously dirty.

This ship is amazing. This alone has sold it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack your patience for boarding, as lines can be long.
Document any cabin issues immediately with photos and videos.
Stay calm and polite when reporting problems to crew.
Fill up a water bottle at the buffet to avoid frequent trips to deck 15.
Arrive early for shows to secure good seats, especially without reservations.
