Creator's Key Takeaways

My husband made a point of going on each and everyone to experience and film them on his exclusive pre-inaugural sailing.

But easily the most thrilling is the freef fall frightening bolt where a trap door drops out from under you into an even faster descent.

It all contributed to one of Royal Caribbean's best such aquathe shows, and it wasn't even 100% finalized yet.

I was blown away by how cool the iconic picture car rendered on stage but the show is a grander musical performance too.
