Creator's Key Takeaways

i only paid 400 pounds including flights for a week-long cruise and we even had luggage on the flights

the buffet was only open for dinner until 8 30

it was crazy big it was more the crazy colors that got me

if it was a similar price to an msc cruise i would take the msc cruise
