Creator's Key Takeaways

This is sexy. Oh, that's different. I'm not getting tamarind though. I'm getting the olong, the peach tea, and the lemon.

It's day one. It's not even a full night yet and already our cruise has been made just that we got suit up invited to to that event.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you have your boarding documents and ID ready for check-in.
Open up the Celebrity Today planner to get your excursion tickets.
If you want to eat earlier than your assigned dining time, make a reservation to avoid wait times.
