Creator's Key Takeaways

I really think that it might be my favorite cabin that we've ever had.

The food is better than we've ever experienced on another cruise ship.

It is meticulously clean. Uh the service is fantastic.

It's a qualified yes. First of all, I would do this again if we were traveling with another couple or two.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ask guest services for cabin upgrades and discounts upon boarding.

✓Use the paper schedule as the app is unreliable for bookings and information.

✓Check pool accessibility before sailing if you have mobility concerns.

✓Consider traveling with a group for more social interaction.

Too chill or quiet for solo travelers — Consider traveling with a group or couple for more social interaction and activity.
