Creator's Key Takeaways

we really love the ship and thought that you guys might want to know what we loved about it

the specialty dining so something that we did as we prepared for the cruise was we chose what where we wanted to eat our specialty dining

the entertainment was because it was a transatlantic a little sparse and repetitive

we really did enjoy the transatlantic portion where we didn't have to have the kids

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Choose specialty dining for the first seven days of a transatlantic cruise to avoid rushing after port days.
βœ“Make sure drinks are charged to the correct person's card to avoid exceeding limits.
βœ“Bring a nightlight for the cabin bathroom as there is none provided.
