Creator's Key Takeaways

This ship is going to feel very similar to the Carnival brand.

The main dining room food was just very subpar.

Everyone on board was fantastic as far as the crew goes.

The Fins Up Fitness Center located on deck 4 all the way forward. This gym is an absolute joke.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If asked to fill out a survey on board, tell them you don't have internet and will do it at home.
Visit the military appreciation gathering in the atrium.
