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 atmosphere — Understand it is an adults-only, boutique, hip, and slightly racy 'come-as-you-are' environment.

Dining availability — Reserve free classes and popular restaurants on the app as soon as possible.
