Editorial Summary

The creators of the Sharon at Sea channel discuss their upcoming transition from being long-term Carnival Cruise Line loyalists to exploring Royal Caribbean. After completing 25 cruises with Carnival, the group plans to sail on the Symphony of the Seas, an Oasis class mega ship. They explain that their decision to switch stems from a desire to experience the evolving designs and layouts of modern cruise ships to ensure they are not missing out on new amenities. To facilitate a fair comparison between the two lines, they have purchased the Royal Caribbean Key program to enjoy priority perks similar to their status with Carnival. The upcoming vlog series, titled From Carnival Loyalists to Royalists, will cover various aspects of the trip, including dining experiences, entertainment, teen clubs, and the newly renovated private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. The creators also plan to document their stay in a boardwalk balcony room and conclude their vacation with a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando. They intend to provide comprehensive coverage ranging from packing strategies and document organization to a full shopping haul.
