Creator's Key Takeaways

I was pleasantly surprised. There's quite a bit of new stuff going on.

It was a really seamless, quick experience if um if you use the app, which they really strongly encourage.

I loved it. I thought it was great, but a lot of people do miss that sort of outdoor seating area.

Absolutely one of the best restaurants I've ever tried at sea.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Walk around on your first day to explore the ship deck by deck.
โœ“Check out the rooftop garden on your first day.
โœ“Bring a USBC adapter for cabin charging.
โœ“Get to shows early to secure a seat.
