Creator's Key Takeaways

We are on our way to Port Canaveral. It is um 7:36 and um got about an hour and 20 minute drive still left.

We are actually going to be able to cruise instead of just doing a quick tour.

This chicken parm for me tastes better um than at least what we had at Giovani's table on the Wonder for sure.

It was a quiet and cozy atmosphere. The weight staff is super sweet and super nice, very tentative.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty restaurants on day one to get a complimentary bottle of wine.
Bring your bathing suits in your carry-on to enjoy the pool while waiting for rooms to open.
