Creator's Key Takeaways

the drink package works on the first day it does if you get the drink work on the first day because they cut you off on the last day they do

one of the biggest Cons with getting on the ship early is lack of access to your room

if you're getting on the ship late you're going to sacrifice potential essentially depending on the you know food package you have

getting off the ship you're not feeling rushed you're a little bit more relaxed um because you got to stretch Fe morning basically

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off the ship as early as possible if you need to get back to work or have a long drive
