Creator's Key Takeaways

Not only that, this is going to be my first ever official escorted group cruise. I'm taking 60 people with me.

I think today has been a success. I'm very pleased with how things have gone, but I'm also super excited for what's to come.

It was exceptional food and everybody on both tables agreed. Delicious. So, well done to the chefs, the creative team. That is a win for us.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check your cabin steward is aware of any dietary requirements.
βœ“Book specialty dining in advance for better pricing.
βœ“Use the buffet seating assignment to avoid walking around for a table.
