Creator's Key Takeaways
We originally had two connecting ocean view rooms. And so, they when they called us, they said that the uh ship had been oversold.
The New Year celebration was really fun. you know, also the surprise of getting upgraded was and and having all of that in the mix on on our very first day on board was was really awesome.
It is a bit of a throwback to, you know, kind of an older style of cruising. But that being said, from the inside of the ship, it is a beautiful ship.
The staff is amazing and it was overall a wonderful experience.
