Creator's Key Takeaways

We left Ocean Key after 8:00 and we docked in Miami about 11:15. That's some serious movement.

I was the first person to go through and other than people with special needs or whatever, I was the first person on the ship. So, it was awesome.

It was very very very good as per normal. Um is excellent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use 'The Key' priority boarding for faster embarkation
If you win at the casino, cash out immediately rather than continuing to play
