Creator's Key Takeaways

We've just had a massive fried breakfast. Time for some donuts.

Cocktails from about £7. And this ship is adults only, isn't it?

I think it's nice traditional ship. Yeah, it's smarter than I thought.

But if you want a classic cruise experience, yes, not too busy, nice relaxing, this is the one for you.
