Creator's Key Takeaways
Nothing beats a good sea day. And I'm going to share my top seven tips for having the best sea day ever.
The main pools on deck 15 get pretty packed by 10:00 a.m. I would say if you want a chair or a group of chairs, you need to arrive by 900 a.m.
I would highly recommend one of those specialty restaurants outdoor dining on the waterfront. It's just a beautiful way to watch the sunset.
