Creator's Key Takeaways

We did arrive a little later, but that was as smooth of a process as I've had in a long time.

This is a nice pool area, though.

So, now we have all our specialty restaurants, all the reservations figured out.

Dinner was actually pretty good, right? Pretty decent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Do all your specialty restaurant reservations early.
βœ“Check in at your muster station after the safety briefing video.
