Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been sailing with Royal Caribbean for many years and haven't gone on any other Cruise Line since 2012.

Celebrity is designed to be a cut above mainstream options but not as quite as expensive as luxury Cruise Lines.

I love that celebrity includes gratuities in their Cruise Fair because it's something I think Royal Caribbean should have done a long time ago.

Celebrity doesn't allow smoking in the casino and it's such a nice change of pace for those of us who don't smoke.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book with a good travel agent to find special group rates.
βœ“Consider concierge class for better value than a regular veranda.
βœ“Take advantage of the always included fare structure for drinks and Wi-Fi.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Will the ship lack the energy of Royal Caribbean? β€” The Edge class ships have a modern vibe and new direction that may appeal.
Will kids be bored on Celebrity? β€” Check out Camp at Sea for supervised activities for kids aged 3-12.
Will the extra touches be lost on me? β€” The premium experience may be worth it for the all-inclusive benefits.
