Creator's Key Takeaways

One thing that surprised me throughout this voyage is just how many activities are available on sea days, especially for a ship of this size and this many passengers.

I'm really sorry, Kunard. I do love you. But this is the real deal.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't ever let anybody tell you what you can and can't or should or shouldn't do on your cruise.

I am loving the food on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the daily program tear-off section instead of the digital portal.
Book specialty dining in advance for better pricing.
Try the thermal suite on sea days for a relaxing experience.
