Creator's Key Takeaways

We were lucky enough to spend a whole afternoon and evening on this boat before her first voyage.

The food seems really, really good. We went first in and had some pizza and it's got to be probably the best pizza I've ever had on a cruise ship.

The crew were really great. Everyone we met was exceptional. They were very friendly.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the lack of swimming pools if you plan to cruise in the Caribbean.
Take advantage of the included specialty restaurants and free fitness classes.
