Creator's Key Takeaways

I am a super huge Royal Caribbean fan. I am a fan of the big ships.

The Prominade is absolutely amazing. Walking into that ship, you just have that awe feel.

Central Park is it's it's the serene part of it and I am definitely in a age and time where I am I love the part I love the music.

If you are going to Alaska, you're going all that way, you want to try to maximize your time there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't feel pressured to do it all on mega ships; they are made for multiple visits.
✓Consider Alaska cruise tours to maximize your experience beyond the ship.
✓Book early for Royal Beach Club due to limited capacity.
✓Start with a short sailing on Wonder or Utopia if new to cruising.
✓Use onboard credit for drink packages or specialty dining.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Intimidation by mega ship size — Ships are designed with neighborhoods to avoid crowding; start with short sailings.
