Creator's Key Takeaways

This was probably the best cruise I've ever been on.

The Neptune suite is basically their version of a ship within a ship concept.

The Fleetwood Mac show was spectacular, the best stage show performance I've seen on a cruise ship in over 20 years.

The Aqua Coaster is an absolute joy, the best thing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go on the Aqua Coaster as much as possible.

✓See both Prince shows, including on the dance floor.

✓Try the indulge venue for lunch.

✓Go with an open mind about the Prima class ship.
