Creator's Key Takeaways

the Leo deck is deck nine and there was two quite decent Siz pools and there's five hot tubs

we couldn't find any plugs or USB ports beside the bed

the food was well plated during this Cruise it was um sometimes we've gotten food and you can until it was held at an angle and it smeared across the plate this was really well plated presentation was good

the Limelight Lounge is on the smaller side you're going to have to go early if you do want to seat especially if you're going with a group

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask to be seated around the perimeter in the main dining room for more light and ocean views.
Bring your own shampoo and conditioner as the cabin only provides shampoo and shower gel.
Go early for comedy shows in the Limelight Lounge to secure a seat.
Use a fan from Guest Services to mitigate noise from the cabin door vent.
Check out the ice cream station at the back of the ship, which stays open later.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Porthole cabin far from Lido deck activitiesThe natural light and extra space are worth the distance; book the cabin again.
Elevator wait times after shows or at portElevators are adequate; be patient during peak times.
