Creator's Key Takeaways
With over 55 cruises behind me, I always enjoy walking you through the details that can help you plan your evenings on board.
On our first night, we were placed at a row of two top tables that were extremely close together, maybe 10 in apart.
Our weight team was excellent, very attentive and consistent.
Second seating tends to feel more relaxed.
