Creator's Key Takeaways

It's time for the gym. Should be quiet.

What an amazing production. I don't know that I've been that blown away from a show in a long time.

Salmon tartar. I always get this on celebrity because it's the best.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get up early to enjoy the ship when it's quieter and still really pretty.
Be aware of strobe lights during shows if you have sensitivities.
