Creator's Key Takeaways

Look out there. You see it rain. Freaking gorgeous. Look at this. The moon lighting up the sea. How How awesome is that view?

This is the better sausage, I think. Can I try it? This is better than the stick.

This is the winner for me so far.

This was a really beautiful, very clean, very well organized port that we really enjoyed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Order room service breakfast to avoid buffet crowds.
Try the meatball sub at the New York Deli & Pizza.
Use the daily paper planner instead of the app for ship activities.
