Creator's Key Takeaways

The vibe, the variety, the food. I'm seriously going to miss it. It really was a lot of fun. More fun than I thought it was going to be.

Since everything is boutique, everything is limited for space. So you're almost always competing for spots, which is the main downside.

Creator's Tips & Advice

As soon as you reserve your cruise, get on the app and start hunting for your spots (reservations).
Bring a magnet to add functionality to limited stateroom space.
Bring a small car fragrance refill to help with odors in the cabin.
Get to the pool area early as it is a hot property and gets crowded.
For the Red Room theater, try to get a seat on the very end of a row to stretch legs into the aisle.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Culture shock from non-traditional atmosphereUnderstand it is an adults-only, boutique, hip, and slightly racy 'come-as-you-are' environment.
Dining availabilityReserve free classes and popular restaurants on the app as soon as possible.
