What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

This is my favorite place on the whole ship. And I actually can't imagine being on a cruise ship and it not having a boardwalk going forward.

We get a continental breakfast, couple of pots of coffee, and we enjoy that morning on our balcony.

It's nice and safe and bright and a great place for kids to play in swim nappies.

the cocktail bars are incredible.

Try the raspberry creme brulee. is delicious.

The Watch-outs

Never fly in on the day of your cruise because if there's any delays, the ship will leave you.
