Creator's Key Takeaways
2026 is going to completely change how we define a giant ship.
If you are a foodie who loves non-stop entertainment, this ship is absolutely worth it.
If you are 45 or older and you value peace, elegance, and intimate dining over massive crowds and constant stimulation, this is absolutely your ship.
This is what I call investment-level travel, where you aren't comparing it dollar for dollar with mega ships because it is not even the same kind of product.
