Creator's Key Takeaways

We experience everything from ships falling apart, to a rollercoaster and some of the worst service!

It really isn't what we expected, some things are great whilst others have a lot of room for improvement!

Quick Service dining is absolutely spectacular we just went to the little Meatball Shop the sandwich shop and the pizza shop
