Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been on over I think this is our 22nd Royal Caribbean cruise.

This was a good boarding day lunch, though. Love it.

Royal makes it seem so easy to cruise any other cruise line. It's not this simple.

This is a historic landmark. It was just unbelievable and it still is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Place a bid for Royal Up but only bid what you're comfortable with, as it's a blind bidding system.
βœ“Use the unlimited dining package for value, especially if you can get it cheap.
βœ“If you have a suite, you get free Wi-Fi, which is pretty cool.
