Creator's Key Takeaways

This ship has been incredible. We were on its sister ship, the Sun Princess, for 30 days.

The Wi-Fi has been decent because we're on a transatlantic. So, we're really out there middle of nowhere, but it's satellite, right? It's Starlink.

The service has been incredible on the ship. Um obviously it's pretty full.

Don't miss the Meridian. Go ahead and see Illuminate. See for yourself.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty restaurant reservations online long before you get on the ship.
If you want a solo cabin, book early as there are not a ton.
Fill out the spa entry card for a chance to win $50 off certificates.
Watch your bill closely and fix problems as they come up.
Check the ship tour for hidden gems and quiet places.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding a quiet place on a full shipCheck the hidden gems video to find isolated areas; the ship feels spacious even when full.
Getting reservations for specialty diningBook online long before boarding; don't rely on onboard app as it's hard to get reservations.
Where to find laundry roomsGo to lower decks or suite decks where usage is lower; use medallion for payment.
