Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm pretty darn impressed with the indulged food hall. I I think number one when you walk in visually it is very stunning.

Kagny's though, from beginning to end, there were no misses on the dishes. Both of my appetizers were great. The main was good. The dessert was great. Service was exceptional.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you are planning on trying to book a last minute cruise, be aware of potential obstacles or hurdles with booking on Norwegian.
βœ“For a chill relaxed cruise, you can stay on the ship and enjoy the venues without a strict plan.
