Creator's Key Takeaways

The treasure is pretty nice.

I love them so much. I really think Treasure hit it out of the park with the theming of the bar spaces.

Coriander and Sage... the live entertainment... needs to come to all the ships. That was amazing.

Treasure is now the favorite... it was it was hard though. I love the intimacy of the smaller ships and the wonder but the spaces here and just the entertainment everything just the whole package of it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have sensory sensitivities, consider bringing noise-cancelling headphones for dinner shows and deck parties.
Communicate with onboard staff if planning a group pub crawl to ensure adequate staffing.
At Paulo brunch, skip the pancakes or waffles to save room for the main courses.
