Creator's Key Takeaways

This isn't just another floating hotel. It's a 113,000 ton vessel that's been sailing since 2006 and still manages to hold her own against the newer ships out there.

The real sweet spot, in my opinion, is the ocean view cabins. For just a bit more money, you get that precious window to the outside world.

Zabatini's Italian restaurant is hands down the best meal you'll have on the ship.

The sanctuary adults only area is probably the ship's best unique feature.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a balcony cabin if your budget allows for the private outdoor space.
Consider the daily fee for the Sanctuary adults-only area for a quieter, more relaxing experience.
