Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Diamond Plus. I was basically born into a cruising family.

I just fell in love with it. There's something magical about it.

I got both Palo brunch and I got a cabana on Lookout at Serenity Bay.

The food was better. The options were a lot more interesting.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book Palo Brunch for an 11:00 AM time slot to enjoy lunch-type Italian food.
Check the cruise Facebook group for last-minute cabana availability.
Cancel cabana bookings at least 48 hours in advance to avoid charges.
Use the iPad in Lookout Cay cabanas for easy refills and drink orders.
