Creator's Key Takeaways

The hot tubs are honestly one of the easiest places to meet people on the entire ship.

If you're a teen, the teen club is genuinely a cheat code.

Sit at the bar. Here, people are more social, drinks are flowing, and conversations just happen way easier.

Go to the parties and events on board, whether that's sail away, trivia, bingo, whatever it may be, everybody's just there to have a great time, so it's super easy to connect.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use hot tubs to meet people as everyone is relaxed and talking.
Visit the teens club if you're a teen to meet others easily.
Say hi or something funny in the elevator to break the silence.
Sit at the bar to engage in social conversations.
Attend parties and events on board to connect with others.
