Creator's Key Takeaways
I personally try to get the earliest check-in time possible because it is much easier to be Del a and show up later than it is to show up earlier
I personally purchase a bunch of bottles of water to get delivered to my stateroom on the first day
I love the food there it's probably the reason that I do it
I prefer bringing it off myself because then I don't have to wait around look for my luggage it's just easier for me
