Creator's Key Takeaways

our dining experiences on Aurora take a nose dive

the buffet has been heated very nicely I must say even I can get straighten and I'm a total wimp

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

Creator's Tips & Advice

Explore ports independently on foot to save money on excursions
Use the free shuttle buses provided by the cruise line
Book Guggenheim Museum tickets online in advance
