Creator's Key Takeaways

this was our first time boarding the raw Caribbean cruise and only our second ever Cruise after trying out one with Virgin voyages last year

the main one I call out is the Concierge Lounge and the free drinks and breakfast options that come along with that

the service that evening was pretty terrible everything was running really slowly

we really enjoyed our time on board and I think a lot of that was due to the suite that we had and some of the perks that came along with that

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bid for an upgrade through the Royal Up program to potentially get a suite at a lower cost
Use the Concierge Lounge for free drinks and snacks during cocktail hour
Book excursions in advance and be prepared for potential schedule changes
