Creator's Key Takeaways

this ship is already better than what we can imagine Paradise being

the tacos were not bad um you know they're fine they weren't full of flavor but they weren't bad

this is much newer of a ship than what we expected to kind of come on bot especially for the price

we would never recommend that for anyone period just want to put that out there but that's what people say about the other ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book directly for the best rate, as travel agents don't get special deals.
If you have high casino status, call to see if you can get a complimentary cruise.
Use the drink package if you plan to drink, as it's $60 per day per person.
