Creator's Key Takeaways
I have zero desire to try it again. And that's before I even heard about the flesh eating experience that this woman had.
I personally hate the elevator situation. It's always chaotic.
I for one certainly hope cruise lines don't stop making smaller ships that can navigate to these more varied port cities.
