Creator's Key Takeaways

I came in here last night from from Athens actually and I'm off to start a new adventure

I did have to wait till about 11:00 for the bus to leave because we were waiting for lots of other people

they don't have apps so you have to bring all your paperwork to check in

I had an outside View and they just gave me an upgrade cuz it was an obstructed view but it doesn't look that obstructed

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring paper copies of all check-in documents as there is no app
Arrive at the bus departure area early as it can be a long wait
Carry the daily program with you to find activities
Book dining reservations early if you want a specific time
Dress up for dinner as many guests do
