Creator's Key Takeaways

Genie plus being paid so that you can have lightning lane access okay while i am not um well that's not my favorite thing

It's a money grab is what it is and it it's it's just unfortunate

All guests ages 12 and up will be required to be fully vaccinated to sail

The cheapest ticket starts at 169 dollars a night uh per person for each party night and goes all the way to 249
