Editorial Summary

In this video, the creator addresses a variety of frequently asked questions regarding Royal Caribbean cruises. He begins by advising against sleeping with balcony doors open due to humidity and the potential for birds to enter the stateroom. When discussing Alaska itineraries, he emphasizes the importance of visiting multiple glaciers and suggests looking for cruises with significant time in port. The creator shares his affinity for Mariner of the Seas, citing its size, value, and recent amplifications. For travelers with small children, he recommends prioritizing ships that offer both a nursery and a splash pad area. Regarding excursions and amenities like water parks, he suggests that travelers should book them if they have never experienced them before, noting that historical price thresholds may no longer apply. He also provides advice on booking, suggesting that travelers should secure a reasonable price when they find a good sailing rather than waiting for last minute deals that may not exist. Finally, he explains the single supplement fee for solo cruisers and discusses the industry's preference for larger ships over smaller vessels due to economies of scale.

the reality is there's two really good reasons why i don't recommend keeping the balcony door open while you're sleeping in your balcony room

i paid for five night cruise and i booked this two weeks ago five night cruise for two people um it was uh 500 i mean out the door for an inside room that's crazy good

make sure the ship has a baby splash pad area so a splash away bay that has that jt that's really the two most important factors
