Creator's Key Takeaways

I honestly struggled to find areas of improvement on board. The staff are phenomenal. The food was sublime.

This cost a mind-blowing $28,800 for our mid-level suite.

The 10 course meal is a mind-blowing $700 for the two of us.

The pool is located up these steps and it's among the most pristine, aesthetically pleasing pools I've experienced at sea.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book via a specialized Marriott Travel Advisor to potentially include expensive dining experiences.
Choose a deck 6 balcony for double the size at the same price point.

YouTube Video Description

Get started with Odoo today: https://www.odoo.com/r/ksR I’m getting onboard one of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships, the brand new Ritz Carlton Yacht, Ilma. I’ve booked a signature suite for the next 7 days, and I’ll be showing you everything this First Class ship has to offer. From the many restaurants (including a 10 course tasting menu for $700!), the pools, floating marina and we shall even take a look at the best room onboard, the owners suite. For reference as usual I paid in full for this cruise, as I don’t work with the cruise lines, to the tune of over $28,000 dollars! It’s actually not my first time onboard a Ritz Carlton Yacht, having tried their previous ship Evrima a couple of years ago. There were quite a few teething issues onboard that sailing, so I’m keen to see how they’ve changed (or if they have!) with the addition of Ilma and Luminara. These new ships are larger, with even more staterooms and facilities. As always do let me know what you think down below. 0:00 - Intro 03:24 - My suite 07:07 - Fine Dining 12:40 - Ship tour 17:36 - The Marina 26:11 - Cost
