Creator's Key Takeaways

The lifts you seem to take forever. You're waiting and waiting waiting on the front section where we are on this front section.

I don't know what it is. It just does seem to rock a lot more than any other ship I've been on.

Bar service on here is really good. Um order you drink. Minutes later it arrives. Can't can't fault that really.

We've just turned up when we wanted and said to the fellow table before been seated every time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“If you can walk down, do walk down and let the persons that need the lifts use them.
โœ“When you get in the lift to travel to go up, just remember you're stopping somebody getting in again.
โœ“Use the app to book the 710 corner for the next day at 12 minutes past 10.
โœ“Consider walking the jogging track: seven laps is one mile.
