Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a huge ship. It's gigantic.

We've been on so many cruises that we still have things that we want to do.

The food is horrible. This place sucks. It's not serene.

Royal Caribbean's doing something with their food and that's good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to shows 15-20 minutes early even with reservations.
Check the app for fluctuating restaurant prices to save money.
If you have kids, book a room on deck 7 or 8 for proximity to kid areas.
Use the elevator system by floor number for efficiency.
