Creator's Key Takeaways

I will say Uber drivers and taxis are not as familiar with the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, so I had to hike across the parking lot.

I found Olaf Tacos to be one of my favorite spots on the ship to eat.

I am pleasantly surprised in a good way.

Butcher Cut did not knock it out of the park.

✓Use the back of the buffet for a less crowded experience.
