Creator's Key Takeaways
We've sailed Royal Caribbean for years and Coco K is one of our favorite cruise stops, but we just spent a day at Norwegian's Great Storeup K, and there were some things there that really surprised us.
I'm going to just come out and write and say it right away. Great Strup K wins.
I think that Great Serb K takes the cake on this one.
I've been thinking about this and I'm going to stick with Coco K.
