Creator's Key Takeaways

I've taken four Royal Caribbean cruises in 4 months, and of course I did that one Silversea cruise as well

The cabin I stayed in on Utopia was the first time in a really long time I can remember really, really regretting my cabin choice.

San Juan just was a very surprising turn off from that. I'm not sure when I'll go on a cruise out of there again.

The more you cruise, the more your cruising style will change. It will evolve.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Accept that you can't do everything on a short cruise and prioritize what you love.
For a birthday cruise, choose the Icon-class ship for a game-changing experience.
Stay in London before a Southampton cruise to maximize sightseeing time.
