Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall it was a really fun trip. It was a different trip for us than than recently because most of the trips we've taken of late, we've sailed with kind of the same set of people over and over again.

I think the standout was the service that we had across both our main serving main dining serving team.

Would I book that excursion again? No.

All three shows on this ship are phenomenal.

Fly in the day before your cruise.
Plan to arrive at the port around 10:30 AM if driving yourself.
Get to character interactions early to avoid long lines.
Request the private dining room for Palo brunch if you have a group of 10.
