Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that the sheer size of the ship made a big difference here.

We really enjoyed this cruise. It was a long cruise. cuz it was a long time at sea.

The benefit of being on such big ships is being able to avoid the same venues, foods and even people which you know they can all become very repetitive.

I loved the ship and I think that the value for money can't be beaten here.

โœ“Remain flexible and have a few other ideas in mind for keeping yourself occupied on sea days.
โœ“Use motion sickness preparations as soon as you feel bad.
โœ“Go in with an open mind and try to be flexible with bookings and routines.
