Creator's Key Takeaways

Instead of walking through one long buffet line, you order from whatever sounds good. Everybody can grab something different and still sit down and eat together.

There are a lot of places where you can just stop, sit down, and relax instead of everything being packed into one area.

The Luna handles dining a little bit differently than some of the ships we've been on before.
