Creator's Key Takeaways

The ship was very clean, very spacious, and very brand new. Um although it did feel a little sparse in places.

The noise insulation was very poor for a new ship. We could hear full conversations while showering and loud banging from above and below all night long.

The pizza I'd have to say is probably the best pizza at sea that um we've definitely had um anytime.

It was every man for himself. Uh it was people rushing and jumping over people to get to um a seat in fear of of missing out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a drinks package and shows as soon as you get on board.
βœ“Arrive early for show seats to avoid chaos.
βœ“Use the smaller buffet on deck 19 to avoid main buffet crowds.
βœ“Set expectations for a European ship trying to break the US market.
