Creator's Key Takeaways

I fear after my cruise on her in late 2024 the updates were simply not enough to address the major issues of the ship

the Interiors are just an absolute assault on the senses and overly stimulating

the dry do changes are lackluster at best

the Waterworks are full to the brim with top-notch water slides and fountains

Be aware of potential upselling and alcohol service issues on short cruises
