Creator's Key Takeaways

I absolutely loved my time on it. This was the fifth and sixth time I've been on it just in the last uh three or four months.

They had a plumbing issue and of course with all the stuff that was out there about uh the carnival that poop cruise that they had had um there was at least a little bit of concern with some people.

I prefer Mexico over the Bahamas almost every time.

Attitude is everything. Don't let stuff get you down. Just roll with the punches and you're going to have a great cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get travel insurance to cover cancellations, missed flights, and itinerary changes.
Be flexible and have a backup plan for delays or missed ports.
Pack light and do laundry on board to avoid overpacking.
Arrive at the departure port a day early to avoid flight delays causing you to miss the cruise.
