Creator's Key Takeaways

We were on board Explorer of the Seas in the spring and we, you know, it was kind of a longer cruise because it was a transatlantic.

I did make it to the 800 points by the end of the cruise and I was able to book an outside room for one and a discount for the second person at that level for a total of $84.
