Creator's Key Takeaways

We are a family that always travels with our kids. If you watch our videos, you know we are constantly with them, traveling, and doing things with them.

The drink package, how it works is usually on before you board, you order you purchase a drink package and it's I think the lowest was about 200.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty restaurant reservations in advance via the app or at the reservations desk once on board.
Consider using Sailor Loot instead of a drink package to avoid pressure to spend and get unused funds back.
Get the premium Wi-Fi package if you need to post content or work, but note it may be slow for large uploads.
