Creator's Key Takeaways

As usual, we paid for this cruise ourselves. We haven't been invited or paid to be here, so you're getting the unfiltered truth as we explore every corner.

This isn't just a ship. It's a floating city, and we're here on the maiden voyage.

We definitely recommend downloading that if you're going on a Royal Caribbean cruise cuz you can get lots of the admin done before you even get to the port.

We're now diamond level cuz we've done enough cruises to get to that level. So we feel very posh.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Royal Caribbean app to complete admin before arriving at the port.
Stick to your port arrival time to avoid being turned away.
Book entertainment and shows in advance via the Royal Caribbean website as they sell out.
Avoid the buffet on boarding day due to crowds; opt for the marketplace instead.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating a large shipUse directional signs and the Royal Caribbean app for guidance; the ship has clear signage for front/back directions.
Privacy in infinite veranda cabinsClose curtains when the blinds are open to maintain privacy, especially in the evening.
Heat in cabins with infinite verandasAvoid closing the blinds in the evening to keep the room cool; use air conditioning effectively.
