Creator's Key Takeaways

What a cruise. I'm just going to say that right off the bat. What a cruise.

Normandy was a good restaurant and it was so good that Sher was able to find something.

This is what relaxation is about.

The food last night in Normandy was great. Service not so much.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-order your meals at specialty restaurants to save time.
Check buffet labeling for dietary restrictions, as it may be unclear.
Arrive early for dinner to avoid slow service.
