Creator's Key Takeaways

it was not what I expected that probably be the first time you'll hear me say that it was not what we expected

I would say it's worth it but it would also be worth it if it was a little bit more cost friendly

the ship was amazing all right so let's start from the top and work our way down to the bottom let's go neighborhood by neighborhood

the Hideaway was originally going to be the family area and I'm so happy that they decided not to do that because it was actually the perfect spot

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take earplugs if you are sensitive to ship creaking noises
βœ“Pre-book Hideway Bay at CocoCay to avoid price increases
βœ“Get the deluxe drink package if you plan to drink often
βœ“Explore the entire ship to find all the nooks and crannies

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship size and navigation β€” Once you learn forward and aft, the ship is easy to navigate; staircases always point forward in the promenade
Cost of the cruise β€” If you can afford it, it's worth it, but don't go into debt; wait for prices to drop if needed
Finding quiet adult areas β€” The Hideaway is adults-only but party vibe; for quiet relaxation, Serenity or Solarium are better
