Creator's Key Takeaways

It is the newest ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet. I guess she maidens this week, maybe today.

The pad thai was so delicious. I woke up dreaming about it the next morning.

It was phenomenal. The acting was fantastic. The actors were great and the singing was very fun.

I left the ship thinking that I would book it for my family because we had an amazing time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask for specific liquor brands when ordering cocktails to get your preference.
Explore the ship's neighborhoods to find quieter areas and avoid crowds.

Crowds on a large shipThe ship is broken up into many small areas and nooks, so it never feels overwhelmingly crowded except during embarkation.
