Creator's Key Takeaways

we're now calling them let's talk ship lives um today the main topic of the discussion is probably going to be more around murel because we' just come back of Mel cruises we went on the Mela explor canian flavors cruise and it was brilliant we had loads and loads of fun

the dining club was exception it was so good I'm not going to say it was better than um the steakhouse on Celebrity I'm not going to say I don't know it's it's really high up there

the real negatives are cabins so if you are going an Explorer and go oce view try and go deck five

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose a cabin on deck five to avoid noise issues
Do not upgrade to the premium drinks package as standard drinks are reasonably priced
Book dining venues in advance once on board
