Creator's Key Takeaways

It's not just a cruise, it's a floating experience that we consider one of our favorites.

The Zen Bar and the Zen pools. This is tucked away from the busy central decks.

We tried out the Arya Spa and just weren't impressed.

The Pizza and Burger is a do not miss venue for us.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the wristband kiosk for activities including water slides.
For a more serene buffet experience, choose deck 19 over deck 18.
Plan for a la carte pricing at the coffee emporium and Jean Falipe Chocolate and Cafe.
