Creator's Key Takeaways
I will say our room steward on this cruise was probably one of my favorite room stewards ever. She was absolutely fantastic.
The crew on board was absolutely wonderful. I mean, the crew on board was absolutely wonderful. Um you know, yeah, no complaints there whatsoever.
I think the layout's very simple, very easy for anybody to understand. Pretty much every floor you can go front to back of the ship.
Would do it again. Five stars. Definitely going to go out of Long Beach again.
