Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall, the food works well for me.

It is very crowded y'all. It is a lot of people on the ship and it's almost as if they didn't realize they were going to have this many people on the ship.

The spa works really well.

That lady made me mad, y'all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the indulgent food hall for a less crowded dining experience.
✓Arrive at the theater 30-45 minutes before shows to get a seat.
✓Consider the drink package even if you don't drink alcohol, due to good mocktails.
✓Get to the pool deck early to secure loungers or couches.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Nickel and diming — Not as bad as expected; using the 'more at sea' package can pre-pay for extras.
Crowds at full capacity — Be prepared for crowds and plan to arrive early for shows and pool areas.
