Creator's Key Takeaways

The drink package sounds great, but at nearly $90 per person per day, it adds up quickly.

I forgot to book my shows ahead. I stood in line watching others walk past with reserved seats and missed out on one of the best nights of the cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Reserve shows online in advance, usually about 30 days before sailing.
βœ“Use the Solarium for a quieter, shaded pool experience.
βœ“Pack a swimsuit in your carry-on to enjoy water slides and ziplines on embarkation day when lines are short.
βœ“If you drink less than five to six cocktails a day, paying as you go is often cheaper than the drink package.
βœ“Eat at off-peak times and take the stairs to avoid crowds.

Dining options β€” Don't just stick to the buffet; explore quieter gems like Park Cafe or Cafe Promenade.
Hidden costs β€” Set spending limits early and understand what is included versus extra (like arcade or specialty coffee).
Room selection β€” Avoid interior cabins if you want natural light, and be wary of Boardwalk balconies if you want quiet.
