Creator's Key Takeaways

as soon as the booking window opens on the app for dining for shows for excursions do it fast do it early just be prepared to go ahead and have everything booked as soon as you can

I never recommend flying in same day especially an inaugural Cruise where the traffic at the cruise port is going to be crazy

I realized how much virgin really does include in that price because right now your girl is going broke on things that I should not have to pay for

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book dining, shows, and excursions as soon as the booking window opens on the app.

✓Work closely with a travel agent to know exactly when reservation windows open.

✓Take advantage of Royal Caribbean's pre-cruise discounts (often 10-20%).

✓Check in as soon as the window becomes available to secure a better time.

✓Fly in the night before the cruise to avoid missing the ship due to flight delays or port traffic.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing the ship due to flight delays — Fly in the night before the cruise.

Sold out shows and dining — Book everything immediately when the window opens on the app.

Luggage weight limits — Buy heavy items like wine at your destination rather than packing them.
