Creator's Key Takeaways

I've personally been on 115 cruises, so I use my personal experiences to help you make great choices.

I think Celebrity has the best buffet at sea.

The other common complaint was that you have to get there early for the shows.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the forward elevator on port days.
Check the program for designated smoking areas and important information.
Get to shows early to secure a seat, especially for popular venues.
Visit the Sunset Bar for a great hangout spot, but be aware of some smoking nearby.
Take a picture of the pier address and port agent in case of issues in port.
