Older people don't use "apps". The cruise lines may think they are being progressive or "streamlining" a process, but not being able to talk to a real person on my vacation is a negative for me. Having to go on a discovery trip to find unmarked resources on a big ship would be another "no" for me.

Many thanks for this content ✌🏼

Gotta be 48 inches or taller to get on all the slides sucks my daughter is 46 inches. Also most of the entertainment happens mostly at the same time so you have to pick and choose to much in my opinion. I wish they would do more of the family events earlier like 3/4/5pm but no they start everything at 7ish. And you have to pick and choose

Hi. Love your videos and they are so helpful for us first time cruisers. My friends and I have booked a cruise on the icon of the seas for March 2025. To pay for the deluxe drink package, do we all have to pay for the package or we can do it individually. It’s 8 of us 2 in each room. Thank you.

I apologize if you mentioned this, but is THE KEY worth the $? We loved it on Harmony, but so many say no it is not worth the extra cost.
