Creator's Key Takeaways

I got a call from my daughter. It was a trip I was taking with a co-orker and I got a call, a a text from my daughter that my husband went to the hospital.

They called and checked on me every day for the remainder of that trip and sent me a bottle of champagne to the room and said, 'We know you're going through a lot right now. Here's something from us.'

I couldn't wait to be platinum because not only was I going to get a chance to get some of the things I missed as a gold member, but now I was going to get a free Palo brunch.

I do not sit on mine. I mean, honestly, my balcony might get 10 minutes of use. 10 minutes. I I don't have the patience to just sit on a balcony.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Wait to book excursions until you are paid in full, as Pearl members book at 123 days.
โœ“Get the unlimited photo package if traveling with a group, as only one room needs to purchase it for everyone to benefit.
โœ“Book an ocean view room instead of a balcony to save hundreds of dollars without sacrificing room size.
โœ“Wait until your children are three years old and out of diapers to fully utilize the kids' clubs.
โœ“If you have an 18-20 year old, look for the Hideaway club activities on the Wish and Treasure.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing out on exclusive perks โ€” Understand that you don't get perks until your second cruise, but you are automatically signed up for the club after your first sailing.
Not having a drink package option โ€” Expect drinks of the day for purchase instead; Disney does not offer unlimited drinking as it is a family brand.
Being away from sports/news โ€” You can still watch sports in the pub or your room; however, people generally avoid talking about news and politics on board.
