Creator's Key Takeaways

boarding was not cute we arrived at the port at our assigned time to find already a very long line that just got longer and longer and longer before it started moving forwards

we really enjoyed the show and the people in it were extremely talented not easy to sing those Whitney Houston songs and they did a good job

at The Sandbar we got 90 minutes full body massages for $51 90 minutes $51 that is an unbeatable price and this massage was very good

the quality of the food was definitely at the level I would expect the quality of the service unfortunately was not but not for lack of them trying

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a massage on land instead of on the ship to save money.
Book external excursions through Trip Advisor for better prices.
Bring white or neon clothing for the glow party to stand out.
