Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our first Christmas cruise on Connorville Martyra and we were traveling with 23 of our family members.

The one area we didn't love was the security checkpoint. We've cruised on multiple cruise lines and this part felt a bit chaotic with long lines.

Once on board, we noticed a few Christmas trees and some holiday decorations here and there, but honestly, the ship didn't feel decorated for the Christmas vibe.

The room was clean, comfortable, and having that balcony was perfect for sellaway views and fresh ocean air throughout the cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Keep your passport easily accessible until you are fully on the ship.
βœ“Boarding and eating early helps you avoid the big lunch crowds on imbarcation day.
βœ“Bring a cruise approved non-surge protector for more plugs or USB ports.
βœ“Bring an old gift card or business card to insert in the light slot.
