Creator's Key Takeaways

We had a great cruise. Um, it was, you know, we were mostly just going for the ship.

The app for the rest of the trip um it was good. You could see what was happening um around the ship times things open and closed.

The food overall was was good. There was just some inconsistencies essentially.

The ship flowed well. Um, the other thing is people said the local was too small. They made the local bigger.
