Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Book the elite drinks package instead of the signature package before boarding or within the first 48 hours.
✓Escalate issues onboard with guest services or managers rather than waiting until after disembarkation.
✓Be polite and explain your predicament when seeking solutions from staff.
🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:
Not knowing upgrade options or deadlines — Research and book the elite package before boarding or within the first 48 hours onboard.
