Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it is so appropriate as well that we're talking about ding I just knew that was going to be in the top of the conversation

my cut off point really is about 40 pounds and that for me is already at the end of the scale

speciality dining was generally in the sort of 10 to 20 pounds as a supplement on top

the first night is a nice calm sort of way into the cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider specialty dining on the first night for a calmer experience
Book specialty dining on sea days for a more relaxed atmosphere
