Creator's Key Takeaways

My name is Fred and I'm addicted to cruising. Um, I'd say probably my wife and I have been cruising since 2005.

We love cruising. On average, we do between maybe two or three cruises a year if we can.

The two bathrooms is key. I mean, if you have to, right? What are you going to do? Go up and down the stairs every time you need to use the bathroom.

I think Royal Caribbean is under a lot of pressure because you have Virgin, you have, you know, uh, Norwegian. Norwegian, I've heard, is doing phenomenal things, you know, with their sweet neighborhood.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Apply the cost of a drink package towards a suite upgrade for better value.
Be good to your concierge and sweet lounge attendants for better service.
Consider a junior suite or Sky Junior suite on Odyssey for a great experience.
