Creator's Key Takeaways

I honestly I thought it was one of the coolest Aqua Theater shows that we've seen on any Royal Caribbean ship.

The boarding process was seamless.

It's not as good as our room on Icon, which we had splurged for a Sunset Junior Suite, but it'll do.

There's not a lot of people on this ship... it doesn't feel full at all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Download the Royal Caribbean app prior to your cruise to check in, book shows, and make reservations.
βœ“Purchase excursions and drink packages prior to boarding the ship as they are almost always cheaper.
βœ“Get your muster drill done first because you can't have fun until you're safe.
βœ“Make reservations for all the shows a month prior to your sailing to ensure you get the day and time you prefer.
βœ“Tour the kids club areas on embarkation day because they offer open houses.
βœ“If you have my time dining, go to the main dining room on embarkation day to make reservations and check out your table.

What is a muster drill? β€” It is a mandatory safety drill, not a condiment. Watch the videos in the Royal Caribbean app beforehand to be better prepared.
When will my luggage be delivered to my room? β€” Your stateroom attendant will start putting luggage out in the hallway around 3:00 p.m. Carry on anything you need before then.
How do I get on the ship faster? β€” Check in as soon as it opens (45 days prior) to select an earlier boarding time.
