Creator's Key Takeaways

giovanni's is actually not included with your cruise so you do have to pay extra per person and for our sailing it is thirty nine dollars per person

my filet was cooked perfectly that there was a good dessert selection um just everything so good

i think that's a pretty decent meal to uh splurge on if you're here on the ship

the gnocchi the gorgonzola spinach gnocchi so good it was amazing it was pretty much melt in your mouth
