Creator's Key Takeaways

if you want to have good views of course get to the front or sit in the upper decks towards the front otherwise you would have a pole in your way

the r-rated or adults only shows for the comedy club do fill up fast so get in early I would say maybe thirty minutes early

you do your research before you buy any watches or jewelry on a cruise ship branded merchandise yeah that's fine but just be careful

if you want to check out the spa and sauna do so because it's free a lot of people don't realize is even
