Creator's Key Takeaways

I totally enjoy this aspect of the ship.

Absolutely love the International Cafe. It's 24 hours. Food is great.

This area has always been one of my favorite areas for sailaways and just views in general.

The seats are showing their age a bit, but they're still pretty comfortable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to use guest services on off hours to avoid crowds.
If you want quick and easy access to a pool, try to get a stateroom right down there near the terrace pool.
Look for the special elevator that goes up to Sky 17 for handicap access to the basketball court.
