Creator's Key Takeaways

this is my first time back to the lion since the pandemic how have budget cuts affected the experience stay tuned

I noticed a slightly smaller selection of food but the quality was close to what I remember

the casino was fun and packed every night with the smoke from cigarettes was just overwhelming

one of the things that I absolutely loved was the cruise director staff which I found to be very entertaining

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Avoid room service after 10 PM due to long wait times
βœ“Use the International Cafe for late-night food options
βœ“Consider an inside cabin for better sleep due to cold temperature

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Inside cabin comfort β€” Inside cabins stay cold and dark, which can be beneficial for sleep
Ship maintenance β€” Older ships may have hot spots and need refurbishing, but overall experience is good
