Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the best parts about cruising with Celebrity is how much you can get done before you even get on the ship so that you have smooth sailing.

Skip the buffet. Everybody goes to the buffet. some better places to go.

Order everything you want. Everything. So you can order two mains, two sides, two desserts, three mains, no sides, no desserts.

The martini bar is a show in itself. Those guys have so much fun spinning the bottles, building the pyramids. It's pretty awesome.
