Creator's Key Takeaways

The Haunted Mansion bar was amazing. When you get in there and you look at the paintings on the wall, they look so legitimately real that I thought they were just paintings.

We had a seven-day Caribbean cruise on the Treasure. This was back in May. The reason we chose the treasure specifically was because I'm a parks guy, so this is the park ship.

Our assistant server, we went very long periods of times without drink refills and we would our assistant server just disappeared. That was probably our only complaint.

We loved Castaway Cay. I would go back in a heartbeat. We got off early, got to the beach, and the food was really good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Show up early for Beauty and the Beast and Moana shows, especially on Castaway Cay day.
Book a placeholder for a future cruise to take advantage of the discount.

Kids not wanting to leave the kids clubIt depends on the child's personality; some may find it overwhelming or chaotic.
Port days being tourist trapsStay on the ship if you prefer; the ship has plenty to do and the ports can be crowded.
