Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on this ship for the last 7 days and I'm going to show you the secret spots

the buffet is smaller than what you might be used to

the food haul made up for it and also those chicken wings at the local

I still had a great time and I thank you for watching my tour

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own books as the ship's book exchange is limited
Use the iPads in the Indulge Food Hall to order from multiple restaurants
Order the chicken cora with basmati rice at the Indulge Food Hall
Get the wings at The Local with no sauce and sauce on the side
