Creator's Key Takeaways

We made quite a lot of changes to the Seeker and it's a wonderful brand and it has a lot of unique features and we wanted to reflect that.

The infinity suites are are quite exciting, I think. I mean, it's nice to have a balcony, but with the infinity suite, basically you have a complete glass wall between yourself and the and the outside, the sea.

We decided to lengthen the ships. Um so as you can imagine it took about a year working with finani to get all of the details sorted out and you're quite right there had been some failures in the past.
