Creator's Key Takeaways

I just paid $15 to race go-karts at 30 mph on a two-level track over the ocean.

This cabin saved us money while providing extra room and comfort.

If you want a unique cruise memory beyond the usual pool and buffet routine, don't skip this.

I highly recommend it for great food and live entertainment.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go with the cheaper Wi-Fi plan if you want it for browsing, emailing, texting, or social media.
✓If you plan to drink every day, such as three or four drinks, you might want to buy the drink package.
✓If you don't have multiple drinks every day, it's cheaper just to pay as you go.

Cost of go-karts — It's worth the $15 for the unique memory.
