Creator's Key Takeaways

I think this was prefilming, that he was very lucky that this is not the kind of ship that we started with, cuz I would not do this again if this was the ship that I started cruising on.

I'm so much more pleasantly surprised by this than I was expecting to be.

I couldn't be happier with this room, honestly. Yeah, it's a good junior suite. Good room just overall.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own liquid soap as the provided soap is small.
Request an extra mattress topper if you prefer a softer bed.
Bring snacks for port days, especially if you get low blood sugar.
Bring board games for sea days.
