Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't know about you, but as soon as I take that first step on deck, something magical happens in my brain and all the cares in the world just melt away.

The cars go faster than I expected and we really had a great time. Not something I've ever done before on a cruise ship and I'd certainly go again.

I absolutely loved the decor and the feel of this restaurant. It felt very elegant and very upscale.

It was a rough night with more than usual rocking and shaking. I'm sure a nap will be had later, but let's get the day going.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Make dinner reservations ahead of time on the app or at Tanyaki restaurant on boarding day.
โœ“Bring your own cigar or buy one on board for the humidor.
โœ“If you're a Midwestern white boy, you might want to stay away from the Red Sauce at Mexican food excursions.
