Creator's Key Takeaways

Everything we ate was well prepared and presented. The chef will also have a display area of the dishes as you walk into the restaurant.

The Harmony is the largest ship that utilizes the canal. If you're wondering what the dots are on the front of Vietnamese ships, those are painted on eyes.

The self-service coffee and tea service in the lounge was a big hit with the passengers and was the first stop of my day.
