Creator's Key Takeaways

if you're looking for a seat in the main theater deck three closest to the stage it's probably one of the best seats in the house

if you're in the basketball court and you take the steps that are in the basketball court on the forward part of it it'll take you up to a Sun Deck area

these machines are not built to be on your side they're built to make money and they do a darn good job at it

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the area/scope out before choosing a seat in the main theater to avoid obstructions.
βœ“If you want to transit between the midship and aft main dining rooms on deck 3, use deck 2 or 4 to avoid the galley.
βœ“Book the steakhouse on the first night of your cruise to potentially get a free bottle of wine.
βœ“Use the spa shower facilities if you need extra space while a significant other is getting ready.
βœ“Check out the deck 10 Lido area for the old-fashioned barbecue as it is often less crowded.
