Creator's Key Takeaways

The energy on board was electric. It was palpable.

I stayed in one of their solo insider stateooms. And this is officially my new favorite cabin that's designed solely for solo cruisers.

All dining venues. I'm going to say that again. All dining venues.

This ship is an absolute stunner.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your dining before the cruise via the app.
If you don't get your desired dining reservation, join the ship's Wi-Fi and make reservations as soon as you board.
Constantly check the app throughout the sailing for last-minute dining availability.
Get a reservation for Pink Agave before you sail.
