Creator's Key Takeaways

We paid about $430 per day for the two of us combined. But we put ourselves into Aqua Class.

The average price on the Edge $492 per day. Still a great deal. Cruising is an amazing for what you get.

Solstice was 403. That's a pretty significant savings. That's about $90, you know, per day.

We're really happy with the cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book into Aqua Class or Concierge Class to earn more loyalty points per day.
Board early on day one to maximize your time on a short cruise.
Consider the all-in package for beverage and Wi-Fi benefits.
Don't overpack for Solstice class ships due to limited storage.
