Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to be comparing side by side Royal Caribbean and Carnival.

The buffet food was some of the best that I've had on any Royal Caribbean ship out there.

That buffet was absolutely disgusting. I would never eat at that buffet if I didn't have to.

The smoke in there was horrendous.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Leave early for cruise terminal to avoid traffic.
Use Uber instead of taxi in port for cheaper fares.
Book specialty dining early to avoid crowds.
