Creator's Key Takeaways
this ship was built in 1998 but it's been refurbished and it is absolutely unbelievable whatever how they've kept it
the one thing I was just is The Medallion app The Medallion app basically it's your key card you scan in and out
I honestly say I wasn't real impressed by the breakfast buffet part and the dinner items were much better
the pizza restaurant outside is absolutely excellent I think it's some of the best pizza ever on any of the cruise ships
