Creator's Key Takeaways

I'll be honest, I absolutely loved it because that cruise really opened my eyes to just how much these ships can offer.

The most delicious burger that I've ever had on a cruise ship.

This was the best stage production show that I've ever seen on a cruise ship.

I can't believe that they efficiently have people off the ship and are boarding the next cruise by 10:00 in the morning.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make reservations for shows and experiences before the cruise or immediately upon boarding.
Try the smash burger at Base Camp for a great casual dining option.
Consider specialty dining for a better food experience, but be aware of the extra cost.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship size and potential overwhelm.The ship is broken into neighborhoods to disperse crowds, making it feel smaller.
Family-focused environment.If traveling solo or as a couple, focus on quieter areas like Central Park or lounges.
