Creator's Key Takeaways

it was so lovely I went to my inside cabin stateroom or interior depends I don't know it's card speak um I was a bit worried about it being on my first transatlantic in an inside cabin but actually uh I need have been worried it was a good size

I personally could feel very very little movement very very little movement um a few passengers said that they thought the waves were and I quote massive and they needed to stay in their cabins um I personally didn't feel much movement

I was never once bored if anything I I it was the most relaxed I've ever been on a ship I think

all in all it was a superb voyage and I'm so pleased I've finally done a transatlantic sailing into New York
