Creator's Key Takeaways

Not crazy about the layout, but it was effective and well-maintained.

On sea days, ship was overcrowded.

BB King's Blues Club, the best band I have ever seen on a ship. Magnificent.

The World Stage. Disappointing given this is a full-size theater. The performances were mediocre at best.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring all evidence of what you prepaid because they tried to charge me again.
โœ“Do not go for the food. Take this cruise for the activities and entertainment, which is great.
โœ“Don't overpack. For a small amount, you can have laundry service.
