Creator's Key Takeaways

boarding the ship was incredibly quick as they're only about 250 passengers on this trip

the cabin was a bit old-fashioned but it was fine for our short time on board

colors and tastes is a pan-Asian restaurant and we thoroughly enjoy our meal here

the evening show in the Neptune Lounge was forever 80s and the entertainment team did a really good job

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining in advance, as it can fill up
Explore the ship early to find quiet spots
