Key Moments

The experience begins with a delayed embarkation due to stowaways but transitions into a positive assessment of the Royal Caribbean app, which allowed for remote safety video viewing. The creator explores various ship amenities including the adult only solarium, the North Star viewing platform, and the 270 lounge.
