Creator's Key Takeaways

We were completely blown away and definitely out of breath.

I really don't get it. There's also no shade whatsoever.

The food on this ship was on another level. So, so good.

It is definitely expensive. That is for sure. But overpriced? I would say no.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Try the water slides on a port day to avoid long queues.
✓Consider skipping the drinks package if you don't drink heavily, as complimentary drinks are available.
✓Visit the Overlook area at sunset for a special experience.

Getting lost on the large ship — Use the deck number on screen to keep track of location during the tour.
