Creator's Key Takeaways

Norwegian Cruise Line tends to be more understated and modern while Ro Caribbean thrives off of bright colors and eye-catching design

I greatly appreciate the dining flexibility because it gives guests the chance to catch a show when they want or explore the ports of call a little longer

Norwegian appears to offer more complimentary dining options than Ro Caribbean

Norwegian cruise line does have some of the most unique bars on board a ship that I've ever seen such as the Sky Vodka Ice Bar

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look at itineraries you would be interested in sailing on and then choose from there the ship and the cruise line
Consider a prominade View cabin or a Central Park cabin on Royal Caribbean for an affordable yet unique experience
