Creator's Key Takeaways

There appears to be a new sort of cruise terminal here. Look, really, really swish for embarcation and disembarkation.

The forecast is predicting that when we leave MadiRaa, it will be a little frisky with seas of about 6 m.

It just goes to show you can have a great time no matter what's going on.
