Creator's Key Takeaways

this is the smallest ship we've been on in a really long time and so for me it's trying to remember that you don't have all the things that you would have on one of the mega Mass line

probably one of the easiest ones I've done I think our Viking river cruise was a little bit easier a little bit smoother but we showed up at the port about 20 minutes early from our taxi
