Creator's Key Takeaways

I think there's going to be an awful lot of grumpy passengers on the ship because people just can't sleep at night.

We have to miss Lisbon, which is a shame because we were meeting our friends Peter and Christine there.

It was a safety issue, but there are some people that being on board and not being able to reach land for six days are going to find it quite difficult.

We love this. Just goes to show how friendly and happy the staff were.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be prepared for rough seas and potential itinerary changes due to weather.
βœ“If you have mobility issues, consider the challenges of showering in rough conditions.
