Creator's Key Takeaways
we are about to get on the show so in Canada you do have to wear the masks inside the airport and inside the cruise port once you get on the ship we can take them off
this is a balcony on Deck four and it is a VB Victor Bravo balcony so the ones above us that have half the size balcony cost more than this one does
Holland America puts on a really nice sail away party so they're they've got all these drinks pre-made you can just walk up and hand them your card and get a really nice beverage
this is the best interior cabin I've ever seen on a cruise ship seriously look how big is in here I mean they've got the same big closet that we have in the balcony and all the space
