Creator's Key Takeaways

We are on our very first backto-back cruise and we want to show you what it's all about.

I think it's actually a really cool experience. I just think it's actually pretty fun.

I would totally recommend it. I think it's awesome.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Cash out casino points and balance before the first cruise ends.
Download purchased professional photos before the transition.
Use the intransit card to skip lines during embarkation.
Be flexible with room readiness timing.
Research the ship to ensure you're comfortable calling it home.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

What resets and what doesn't between cruises?Casino points, casino balance, and professional photos reset; state room folio and medallions do not.
Room readiness during transit dayBe flexible; rooms may not be ready as advertised, and there may be no announcement.
Medallion functionality in casinoBe aware that medallions are inactive in the casino for the first 24 hours and you'll need to use cash or request a temporary card.
