Creator's Key Takeaways
If you're not too bothered about having a window or a balcony or even a suite, then this is perfect for those perhaps who do lots of cruises
It's an absolutely fantastic ship and whilst we're here on board during this week, we're going to be doing some ship tours and port tours
You can't leave until you've done your muster check, your muster station check. So do bear that in mind.
