Creator's Key Takeaways

The 18 plus only policy creates a sophisticated, relaxed, and yet at the same time high energy atmosphere without the chaos of water slides and splash pads.

The Scarlet Party is an amazing experience and needs to be seen to be believed.

With exception of Celebrity, it's the only cruise we've done where I really felt it offered a premium experience at a reasonable price and for us achieved a top score for food, entertainment, sports, and activities.

The lack of pools and hot tubs does remove one avenue of enjoyment, but everything else is so good that we can live with it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book specialty dining venues about two months in advance for best availability.
βœ“Walk to the beach club in Biminy if you're able, as it's a better experience than the shuttle.
βœ“Use the bar tab to prepay for drinks and get a bonus, but note unused credit is not refunded.
