Creator's Key Takeaways

I always start my morning with a coffee usually if I'm at the Yacht Club I go to the top sale Lounge sit there at the bar ask the Barista for an espresso

the crew and staff make a huge difference so to compare the ships it's not only Explorer versus Yacht Club

Explorer gets a huge plus there they've really got a huge quality of food

the Butler on the Y Club makes a huge difference

Compare specific ship classes, not just Explorer vs Yacht Club
Consider your itinerary type (port-heavy vs sea-day) when choosing
Book through specialized travel agents to access better discounts
