Creator's Key Takeaways

if you've never done it highly recommend just the engineering that was involved in it is stunning to see

we did a fairly good Transit video of these historic locks which were the same ones that we just went through in our Island Princess Series

the show was pretty good other than that whole needle Diamond bit that they did

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check what's open when visiting different countries, as many things may be closed on Mondays
Use the ship's happy hour for occasional drinks to save money on drink packages
