Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not going to buy in 2025 on my Royal Caribbean cruise

I have found repeatedly guests can achieve similar results on their own with a bit of advanced planning

I won't book any of them there there's no doubt

I think the benefits look better on paper than they are in practice

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Swipe and play arcade games on the ship instead of pre-purchasing credits
✓Skip photo packages if you don't take many professional photos
✓Avoid bus tours and explore ports on your own or book smaller tours
✓Skip purchasing 'The Key' and plan ahead for early boarding and dining
✓Don't book the Up and Away helium balloon in advance; book on the spot if operational

Wasting money on arcade credits — Swipe and play on the ship to avoid leftover credits
Photo package value — Skip if you don't take many photos; lines can be long
