Creator's Key Takeaways

we are on our 20th Celebrity Cruise and there are some things that celebrity isn't telling you

if you love splurging and doing the specially dining but you don't want to spend the same amount that they promote online check out if there's a first night discount

celebrity actually has their staterooms open and available for you to drop off your luggage so if you're carrying a really big backpack or maybe you have a roller that you walked on the ship with you don't have to keep those with you

similar to Vegas you will have free drinks while playing in the casino for select hours
