Creator's Key Takeaways

the crossing part the seven days on the sea it really wasn't that bad

I have not been bored and let me tell you the most surprising thing about these seven days it sees how quickly they have gone by

I would recommend it uh but you know that's just my experience

the ship is equipped with stabilizers so it adjusts to the seat so even though the seat is rolling the ship has some movement but it's not extreme

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use stabilizers to minimize motion sickness
Plan for time changes at noon to avoid disrupting sleep
Take advantage of onboard lectures and activities during sea days
