Creator's Key Takeaways

Full disclosure, we had an excellent time.

We were made fun of a little bit, but you know what? Our concerns were valid

The bizaar is a great example of something being refitted. And also an example how when you do refit something, you can both exacerbate an existing problem and create one you never even had.

I would not choose the Excel again unless it were going to a location.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Double-check spa and dining reservations early.
✓Ask for a lounge chair on the balcony if needed.
✓Don't be intimidated by the Lumina menu; request plain options if you're a picky eater.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating the ship's new layout — Take time to familiarize yourself with the new areas, like the secret 'if you know you know' spot.
Choosing the right cabin configuration — Opt for the bed-facing-outside configuration for better bathroom access and mirror view.
