Creator's Key Takeaways

I've taken dozens of Royal Caribbean cruises, and every year I discover something that makes me say, "How did I not know this sooner?"

These are the sort of things only people that cruise a lot would know about.

Royal Caribbean will give you an extra cruise point per night if you book any suite.

You can order as much as you want at most restaurants.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book solo cruises to earn more loyalty points.
βœ“Email rcldin@rcccl.com two to three weeks before your cruise to request a private table.
βœ“Visit the helicopter pad on Radiance, Voyager, or Freedom Class ships for unobstructed views.
βœ“Ask your state room attendant to remove the balcony divider if you book two adjacent cabins.
βœ“Pack socks and long pants to go ice skating on ships with an ice skating rink.
