Creator's Key Takeaways

I love cruising, but I hate crowds.

I stayed in a giant starclass suite on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas once, and I did not want to leave my room the whole weekend.

After over 30 cruises, I've basically stopped eating at the buffet on imbarcation day.

You really just have to do what everyone else is not doing, and that's how you can avoid the crowds on your ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a suite for exclusive areas and more personal space.
βœ“Sail during shoulder season to avoid peak crowds.
βœ“Book a private shore excursion to avoid large tour buses.
βœ“Go to the pool deck during morning or evening to avoid crowds.
