Creator's Key Takeaways

I love the outdoor space on the upper decks, especially on this ship because there's four main pools.

The food tasted really good on the cruise and I was quite happy with it.

I had a great time. I think it's a nice ship.

If you're hoping to whale watch from your cabin, don't do an obstructed view.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book reservations online before your cruise for the main dining room.
Ask for a fan if your cabin is above the theater.
Go to the culinary demonstration for a free galley tour.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

What to expect from an obstructed ocean view cabinDon't book if you want to whale watch from your cabin; you won't get a full open view.
Finding complimentary coffee on lower decksGo to the buffet for self-serve complimentary coffee; bring a reusable mug.
