Creator's Key Takeaways

If someone loses it, you get the vacation. So, hand it out. Pass it out.

A little hack is to go up to COA or Gigi for the party. And to get there, when you find the deli is another option of food.

Another hidden off option is the Red Frog on imbarcation day. It's not one of the food option ones. However, there is plenty of seating.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early at the port to avoid traffic and wait inside the terminal.
Ensure every passenger holds their own documentation/boarding pass.
Red Frog is a good 'hideaway' spot to avoid crowds on embarkation day.
Check for the 'Cheers' drink package if you want to simplify drink orders.
