Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our first platinum cruise. So, this was number 11 for us.

We walked in and we were on the deck eight... an overwhelming it hits you smell of the sewage situation in the little bathroom room.

Disney worked with us um to move our rooms... we did get moved to the deluxe family ocean view room.

The KFC there is really good with ultra fast Wi-Fi.
