Creator's Key Takeaways

The ice water on board is really, really good. People always question, is it good? Do I need to order bottled water? You really don't.

That New York strip is 10 times better than the one in the dining room. And the best strip.

This is the best worst storm I've ever been in. Although it would storm on Icon and I would be inside.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pack a reusable water bottle to refill with the filtered ice water on board.
βœ“If you have special dining requests, ask at the beginning of the cruise rather than late in the sailing.
βœ“If you want to see the Hairspray production, make sure to go on nights one, two, or three.
