Creator's Key Takeaways

It's pretty much a carbon copy. Um, but still, it's still very all inspiring when you, you know, you walk onto the Royal Prominade.

The food in the Wind Jammer was great. On embarcation day, they had um a fantastic seafood buffet.

I really did love being one of the first people on the ship. There was still a lot of sort of inaugural hype.

I think so. Especially some of the value came from just being on one of the first sailings and you can't really put a price on that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your bathing suit the first day to do the water slides and get it out of your system.
Don't give your bathing suit to the porters; keep it in a carry-on or backpack.
