Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never actually had even seen a cruise ship in real life before getting on this so it was very new

We enjoyed it for the most part we actually didn't get to eat dinner at Royal Palace because we had Remy book that night so we ate twice um at animators one was the pirate night one was the regular menu and twice um an enchanted garden

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check back frequently for beverage seminars as spots open up
For a larger group, ask about the availability of a private room for brunch or dinner
Use online check-in to get an early boarding group for a smoother process
Book adult dining on pirate night for the best experience
