Creator's Key Takeaways

The newly added El Loco Fresh is often completely empty during those first few hours.

You can grab fresh tacos, burritos, or quesadillas and actually find a seat outdoors with a breeze.

Spending that extra $100 to $200 now to handpick your location is the only way to ensure that you're not spending your vacation wishing you were somewhere else.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use El Loco Fresh for a quiet embarkation lunch instead of the crowded Windjammer.

✓Follow the deck eight check-in sequence to avoid embarkation day chaos.

✓Extend Your Stay program allows you to remain on board until late afternoon on disembarkation day.

✓Avoid guaranteed cabin categories and pay to choose your specific cabin number to avoid noise and poor locations.
