Creator's Key Takeaways

I think cruising is one of the better ways to enjoy a vacation. Um it's such good value in terms of what you can get.

I have to give NCL props for this one. You really don't see the trim and finishings in a lot of these areas as as you do here.

The technical elements of the production were excellent, five out of five. The performance was a two out of five.

Overall, a very good dining experience. Couple things um that I would point out would be food quality was definitely five out of five.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the stairs when you can to get steps in.
Guest services is busier on the last two days; plan accordingly.
It's okay to just enjoy being on the ship doing nothing.
