Creator's Key Takeaways
It is going to be tough to adjust to a regular cruise after this. I have a feeling this is going to be incredible.
This is the most amazing room we've ever had on any cruise ship. In fact, it's a bit much, but in all the right ways.
The water pressure is fantastic. A lot of times on cruise ships... the water pressure is terrible... This has actually been very consistent.
It's going to be hard to go back to regular old cruising after this.
