Creator's Key Takeaways

The food selection was good. Um, Wind Jamber. Really, really happy with the Wind Jammer on this cruise.

I would just say if you do it, um they say 12 they said they told us 12:30 for the ferry. Um people started lining up at 12:05 and they started boarding the fairies at 12:05.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book the ice skating reservation as soon as the app opens for a cleaner ice experience.
βœ“If you want to leave the excursion early, line up sooner rather than later for the ferry.
βœ“Consider getting a smaller photo package on Freedom of the Seas as photographers are limited.
βœ“If you're between Port Miami and Port Everglades, choose Port Everglades for easier access.
