Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is by far not expensive. I found cheaper deals on Royal Caribbean than I could find on Carnival for about 90% of the bookings.

Icon was one of the least crowded ships I ever went on. And it was at capacity when we went. It was full capacity, but everything's so spread out.

I always put priority to a ship or either to a port I've never been to or to a ship I've never been on.

I always say take the safe route. go down the day before.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the port early, even if you have a late boarding time.
Stay at a hotel the night before if cruising from a distant port.
Join Facebook groups for your sailing to meet other passengers.
Use valet parking at Tampa port for convenience.
