Creator's Key Takeaways

The walk along the seafront in the sunshine was nice. with some scenic views.

We were impressed by how many themed events they had in here during this cruise.

I had a very large lamb shank. And luckily, they gave Suz a more manageable portion.

Today, it was the salmon pastrami. And of course, you get to try a sample of the finished product.

Take the free shuttle bus to save time walking to the port.
Try the themed events and enrichment activities onboard.
Book a table in the main dining room for a consistent experience.
