Creator's Key Takeaways

We've already discovered a couple things that we're not excited about on this ship.

Today, we went to Carellarium for lunch. It's tiny. And there's one little counter with the hot foods.

We did go to into the buffet though to look. And they didn't have lobster either, which to us was surprising.

It's got a lot of room. It's got closets there. This has a bar right there, so you could hang two rows of clothes.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a travel adapter for multiple outlet types.
Be prepared for tendering in Cabo as it can be an issue with large passenger numbers.
Check the show schedule and make reservations early.
