Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been here many times and I'm coming back. Spoiler alert, I'm coming back soon on Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas

I just got a bunch of work done and I'm waiting on a video for my YouTube channel to upload because, you know, the Wi-Fi on the ship is really slow.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay on the ship during port days if you have visited the destination many times to enjoy a quieter experience.
Look for the Mongolian Grill during off-peak times to avoid long lines.
