Creator's Key Takeaways

this ship actually only launched this year in March so it's a fairly new ship it's only 102 guests that are on board

the food so far has been quite good um what I would say about the is that they really utilize um the local flavor

Wi-Fi is free so you don't have to worry about you know getting any need for your settler data which I think is super important

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider doing a pre and a post stay to really experience the country
Take advantage of short excursions and pre-book them ahead of time
Don't plan to arrive the same day due to airline schedules
Get a little bit of cash for tips as Euros are accepted
