Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just spent a fabulous couple days in the garden of England Kent and the port of Dover.

First impressions are very good. Oh, 13 nights in here. Junior balcony suite.

The crew are so cute. I just want to get their little cheeks.

The service was exceptional. I feel really embarrassed about egg gate.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining and thermal suite access early.
Use the free digital daily program via the ship's Wi-Fi portal.
Let your cabin attendant know about dietary requirements for canapes.
