Creator's Key Takeaways

we got upgraded didn't we yes so we did the Royal up program and we won yay

this is huge oh my gosh David what the heck is this this is pretty awesome guys

it's a glorified balcony cabin just a really big balcony cabin that also come with a bathtub as well

this is probably the best thing for me about having a suite having a bath because it's so unusual

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Avoid the buffet on boarding day; use 270 Cafe for a quieter lunch.
βœ“Book an Asia cruise in winter (Jan/Feb) to avoid the intense heat and humidity.
βœ“Only book a Junior Suite if you can get a good deal via Royal Up; otherwise, a standard balcony is better value.
βœ“Use the Royal Up bidding program for potential cheap upgrades.

Muster drill complexity β€” It is very easy and quick; just watch the video on your phone and check in at your station.
Jet lag β€” Going East is harder than West; drink lots of coffee and try to adjust quickly.
Food differences in Asia β€” The menus are different but delicious; try the local options like Laksa.
