Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it's by far the best, but this one's still pretty good.

Libraries are dying on cruise ships. They're replacing them with much more active things.

This is a mass market, big party, seek, come seek, fun, etc.

Keep your wits about you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not book Royal Caribbean Oasis class ships if you want a quiet, relaxing vibe.
Keep your wits about you when approaching the spa to avoid accidental bookings.
Try to do a ship tour when there are fewer people around.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:
