Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been on 30 cruise ships. Across 39 cruises. We've spent 187 days on a cruise.

The MDR was mid tonight, but the first night we had it was actually good.

It's so cool to see the two sister ships parked next to each other for the second time ever.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the water park early to avoid long lines.
Consider the Pearl Cafe for the best carrot cake on Royal Caribbean.
If you have a group, the main dining room works better than a table for two.
