Creator's Key Takeaways

I did 23. 23. Um, which just blows my mind.

The independence cruise I felt was poorer than the Costa one.

I've never had in my opinion a bad cruise, but I've had some cruises that I felt were mediocre.

Symphony of the Seas, definitely one of my highlights, which might surprise some people.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try pulling cracker with left hand if you always lose.
Consider thermal layers for Arctic Circle cruises.
Check deck plans for cabin size if unsure about solo cabins.
