Creator's Key Takeaways
I've been wanting to go on this ship for a long time just because it was different, right? It was smaller. It was different.
The service on Royal Caribbean um ships in the dining room especially has always been topnotch.
This fried chicken looks better. We'll do a food discussion between the two later, but um I can already tell you this is going to be a lot better.
I thought it was really good. So, um I'm not mad about it. It was pretty good for me.
