Creator's Key Takeaways

this is my 25th Cruise total not on Royal just on every ship this is my 25th cruise

the inaugural we were supposed to be on is technically now the second sailing so they gave us a significant discount pretty much 50% off

we got a significant discount on this ship again it's primarily three to four night itineraries

I love Royal it literally takes 5 minutes to board it's amazing
