Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on here for 2 weeks before and never got bored.

There's so much to do, I can't even list it all now.

The coffee is in here. So, you got pods for the machines.

I think we're actually the only cruise line that let you use them free of charge.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack for the holiday you are planning, considering shore experience walking levels.
Use the do not disturb sign to help cabin stewards manage cleaning times.
Store suitcases inside each other and put them underneath the bed.
Ask your cabin steward to set up the bed with a bed rail if traveling with a young child.
Hang robes on the back of the door to avoid them being taken away.

Not enough storage in the cabinThere is plenty of storage; you'll be surprised how many places there are to put things.
What to wear for dress code nightsDress code is optional; wear what you feel most comfortable in, whether glam or casual.
