Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall it was a really fun trip. It was a different trip for us than than recently because most of the trips we've taken of late, we've sailed with kind of the same set of people over and over again.

I think the rainforest room is a good proxy for me for the lounge and it only costs, you know, few hundred for that as opposed to several thousand for the upgrade to concierge.

Treasure still still a great ship. Uh, can't wait to get back on board her.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Fly in the day before your cruise.

✓If driving to the port, plan to arrive around 10:30 AM for parking.

✓Book a private group for Palo brunch to request the private dining room.

✓Get to character interactions early, especially the 7:15 PM slot, as lines are long.

How early can you arrive at the port? — You can arrive fairly early if being dropped off, but don't arrive too early. If driving, plan to arrive around 10:30 AM as parking opens exactly at that time.

Getting a cabana without sailing concierge — It's very difficult to get a cabana if you're not sailing concierge; reliably speaking, it's very, very difficult.
