Creator's Key Takeaways

It is loud in all the right ways, calm where it needs to be, and packed with enough to do that a week on board never feels long enough.

The headline attraction is Bolt, the first roller coaster at sea, and it is exactly as wild as it sounds.

It is the kind of ship that creates the stories people retell for years.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Planning ahead, especially for specialty dining and popular activities, goes a long way.
βœ“Guests who prefer a smaller, quieter cruise experience may find the energy a bit much.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship energy/noise levels β€” Understand that the ship is high-energy and 'loud in all the right ways'; if you want quiet, look for the Serenity Retreat or Loft 19.
Dining availability β€” Plan ahead for specialty dining and popular activities to avoid issues with crowds.
