Creator's Key Takeaways

I've had consistently good experiences here.

I really I I took that perspective. I hope I hope you can take that perspective, too.

It's really well done. So, I spent a good majority of this day, day four, filming a full ship tour

Overall, a very good dining experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the stairs when you can to get steps in.
Don't feel obligated to do everything on the daily; it's okay to just enjoy being on the ship.
