Creator's Key Takeaways

We're boarding the Celebrity Edge for our 12night Sydney to New Zealand cruise.

The steak itself was not good. So please correct it or just be aware when you're ordering a steak.

The martini bar is always a plus for us. The bartenders are excellent and they're having a lot of fun.

I'm not letting the steak restaurant ruin my whole trip. Trust me. No, I know there's more to come and better things to come.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay in the Circular Key area if you're pre-cruise in Sydney.
Keep camera equipment and cords separate for smoother security.
Be prepared for potential time zone adjustments on long cruises.
