Creator's Key Takeaways

i had a great cruise great time on both sailings wouldn't trade it for the world and overall it was great

i'm a firm believer that the drink package saves me money because the way that i cruise

the ultimate dining package absolutely delivers what it promises which is a lot of food

researching what you want to do in port is a great idea and winging it is not bad sometimes

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a drink package or use complimentary drinks based on your drinking habits.
✓Consider a three-night dining package instead of a full-week package to avoid overeating.
✓Research and book port excursions in advance instead of winging it.
✓Book flights later in the morning or afternoon on disembarkation day to have more recovery time.
✓Take advantage of low crowds on the pool deck and use pools, slides, and hot tubs.
