Creator's Key Takeaways

it is very 2015 um and as stupid and as obvious as that sounds of course the ship was built in 2015 but it it it has a certain it I I don't know let me let me say this diplomatically and delicately um you know it it is of its time it is of its time

aggressively mediocre is is the way that I might describe it um which was kind of a stark contrast from our experience on the Prima

the there were there was um a high proportion of tween and teens who were rather heinous um taking over public spaces um causing a ruckus

Atlantic City at Sea if that's are bag go for it you have a great time
