Creator's Key Takeaways

I am going to take you deck by deck from the top of the ship all the way down to the bottom, front to back, and show you all of the amazing spaces

This area has been renovated in a recent dry dock and looks absolutely stunning for this age of a ship.

I love this spot. Now, as we move a little bit further aft, the area that surrounds the atrium actually has some foosball tables and ping-pong tables

The Mark Twain Library was a nice quaint space. I always love when we see a library on a cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the deck plans for the sauna and steam room as they have been updated to be co-ed and may not reflect current ship layout.
