Creator's Key Takeaways

I think the right time to try it is when you can cuz there is a price that comes with this that's uh you know different from the cruise line.

If you want a vacation where you just book the flight you and they take care of everything else, that's an Adventures by Disney experience.

The food on the ship is a step below Paulo, but a very slight step. Fantastic food.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't be a picky eater; embrace the regional menu.
Carry a scarf to cover shoulders when visiting churches.
Use a translation app for easier communication.
Don't sleep on the music cabinet museum in the morning.
