Creator's Key Takeaways

We started our sale in March of 2025, a little bit earlier than we would typically take a transatlantic.

First impressions, super positive. The ship's been out since 2020, so you know about at this point close to 5 years, but you wouldn't notice it.

Eden was extraordinary. It's a little different than it started out as in its initial incarnation.

Entertainment was awesome on the ship. No surprise. Owned by this World Caribbean group. They do entertainment better than anybody.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book early to get good prices on transatlantic cruises.
If you want a classic balcony, book it early as they tend to book up quicker.
Show up early for shows to get good seats.
If you're part of AquaClass, reserve your gym classes early on a busy cruise.
Look for sales after booking for specialty dining discounts.
