Creator's Key Takeaways

We honestly thought this was going to be the last one because we we didn't really enjoy the Azora.

We were very impressed.

This is so fun.

That was the best disembarkcation we've ever had.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the Keeljin Cow specialty dining for breakfast for a small extra fee to avoid buffet crowds.
✓Bring or buy water bottles as free filtered water is available at filling stations.
✓Use the ship's app to check cinema seat availability before going to the theater.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting lost on a large ship — The layout is intuitive and easy to navigate, unlike some other ships.
Queues being long — Lines move very quickly and are well-managed; don't be put off by the appearance of a long queue.
Sea day boredom — There is plenty to do, including a cinema, multiple shows, and various dining venues.
