Creator's Key Takeaways
masks are completely optional on royal caribbean ships so that's something to keep in mind
we went up to guest services we said could we upgrade our room what was left what was available and the awesome crew member was able to get us a balcony stateroom for only a hundred dollars more
we chose not to get the drink package this time and we're okay with that because when we sat down and we did the math it just made no sense to get the drinking package for us
this is the definition of a vacation is take a cruise you unplug from everyone and everything and you just enjoy the beauty of any cruise ship
