Creator's Key Takeaways

waking up early catching that first flight out not eating anything coming to the ship getting the drink package and being wasted by 11am that is not going to end well

make sure that you are not making these mistakes so here are five things five that you should not be doing on the weekend cruise

do not eat at sorrento's and the promenade deli every single time that you are here

do not forget to use sunscreen it is a weekend cruise i know that it's only getting sun for a day or two the sun here in the bahamas can be much stronger

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Take it slow on the first day: get a nap, eat food, and don't overdo alcohol.

✓Plan your weekend using the cruise compass and Royal Caribbean app; set reminders for activities.

✓Don't rely only on Sorrento's and the promenade deli; use the main dining room and specialty restaurants.
