Creator's Key Takeaways

our dining experiences on Aurora take a nose dive

the building itself is probably the most impressive thing I think the building is more impressive than any of its content

this is not living up to either of those at the moment there still time that ought to be

well part two did not end on the high I'd hope for

Creator's Tips & Advice

Explore ports independently to save on excursion costs
Book popular excursions in advance as they can sell out
Use the free shuttle to reach city centers from the ship
Check the room service number in advance as it's not easily found
