Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm actually on board Symphony of the Seas and I am staying on board doing a backtoback.
Super easy process. There was zero kids doing a back to back, which makes sense.
It was a good day. Didn't do too much today. Transition day is is a little rough sometimes.
I'd recommend these forward facing rooms. I enjoy them.
