Creator's Key Takeaways

Formal night is totally optional. I mean, Royal doesn't call it that anymore. They call it dress your best.

Staying on board is one of the best hacks no one talked about until recently.

Royal Caribbean ships have enough Wi-Fi that's really good for texting and calling.

The Cruise Compass lives in the Royal Green app. It's digital.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't pack formal attire every night; it's optional.
On new ships, you don't need extra power adapters.
Stay on board for one port to enjoy an empty ship.
Use Wi-Fi packages or the free chat feature instead of walkie-talkies.
Don't pack highlighters; use the digital Cruise Compass in the app.
Book cruises at least a year in advance for the best deals.
