Creator's Key Takeaways

We had plans this morning, didn't we, Lindsay? We were meant to be meeting at Julian and Chris, who are on the ship next door.

The whole of today, anyone in a wheelchair or who have mobility issues are banned from leaving the ship.

It's still a very good meal and it's nicely served and they're very polite up here, very nice.

I just think that some of the sparkle's gone.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take seasickness tablets if you're going to be in bumpy weather.
Ask the staff to turn down the music in the restaurant if it's too loud.
