Creator's Key Takeaways

The meat was very tender and practically fell off the bone.

The entertainment team rocked up and it blew up. It was really great. Really good. Well choreographed.

Hiding ducks is great fun. The only thing more exciting than hiding them is finding them.

I'll have another crack on Celebrity Solstice in November.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're looking for chocolate chip cookies, you might need to find them in port as onboard options may vary.
