Creator's Key Takeaways

We'll take you along as we board, get our first look at the inside of the ship, and then check out our cabin before heading to the Lido pool for our favorite Kunar drink.

The meal was okay. There was a lot of choices for myself. I'm a bit picky. Um, bit eight out of 10. No, that's a good score.

The dining room is nice. Very traditional, very old fashioned, but I much prefer for the dining room. It's my opinion.

Unfortunately, the only downside really was that our cases didn't arrive until between 4 and 4:30, even though we were on board at 1:00.
