Creator's Key Takeaways

Definitely had a retro vibe. It reminded me a lot of a '9s arcade.

It's definitely got that visually busy retro vibe to it. A lot of different colors, reds, oranges.

Most of the ship, I would say was in really good working order.

There were definitely some wear and tear things that we did notice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the running track for faded lines.
Look for broken glass panels near the pool or big screen.
Inspect the couch and bathroom mirror for wear in your cabin.
