Creator's Key Takeaways

The overall impression is one of sleekness, of modernity. It is immaculately clean.

The cabin was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

The performances in that main theater were the worst we have encountered on any cruise.

Magic Castle I thought was actually worth every penny.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the cabana mini suite for a spacious balcony experience.
Use the aft elevator to access the buffet and avoid crowds.
Consider the Magic Castle experience for a unique evening.
