Creator's Key Takeaways

The foundation of Aqua is the Prima and the Viva, right? And so I have spent some time on Prima with my family. I did an amazing summer cruise last year from England up to Norway and Iceland and we loved every second of it.

I jokingly say contemporary, premium, luxury. It does seem because I've had those conversations pretty recently about sort of products across the industry

The way they delivered that show, it's the most creative use of set design I've ever seen on a show.

We're doing our grade right now would be a C. ... last year in 24 we were B students so we made good progress
