Creator's Key Takeaways

It is our very first time being at this updated brand new port here.

Checkin was very smooth, very simple, very easy.

This class of ships is so beautiful. It really, really is a gorgeous class of ships.

The cabin bathroom is a nice size. You don't feel so squished.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the all-inclusive package for drinks and Wi-Fi.
Try at least one specialty dining restaurant per cruise.
Bring reading glasses or a small light for the steakhouse.
