My advice for someone using a Royal Genie on a Royal Caribbean cruise

If you ever spend the money to stay in a Star Class suite, the Royal Genie is going to be your top benefit. Maximizing the value of your genie can make a big difference in the cruise.

I wanted to share my best advice for someone trying a Star Class suite for the first time.
