Creator's Key Takeaways
I will say when we were sitting in the back, there is this lovely ambient and calming music that's playing.
The Wake is the upmarket themed steakhouse on board and I will say it's one of my personal favorites.
It honestly was a really special moment.
I'm so glad that I left dinner temporarily to experience the moment, albeit I didn't actually capture it.
