Creator's Key Takeaways

we're taking this big old ship all the way across to Barcelona stopping at Malaga and Valencia it's going to be a 12-night cruise all together

the food looks a little bit messy in places as well you can get an omelette made as well if you fancy that as well but yeah lines and cues and just slightly chaotic

we do seriously love sailing with Royal Caribbean it's why we're Diamond members

the entertainment has been okay but lackluster in a lot of parts

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a cabin in the middle of the ship lower down for less movement
Get to trivia venues super early as they get very busy
Use the Royal Caribbean app to plan and check for last-minute reservations
If you have a drinks package, use the specialty coffee cafes instead of Starbucks to save money
