Creator's Key Takeaways

Disney wins for sure. Hands down. That's not even a real question, Brian.

I really enjoyed Lookout. I didn't think anything could be cast away, but man, that's a beautiful piece of property.

I would be perfectly happy never sailing on Royal again. And that is my husband.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a travel agent to handle repricing and customer service issues.
Book specialty dining on Royal Caribbean for better food options.
Check YouTube for specific room tours before booking on Royal Caribbean.
