Creator's Key Takeaways

The haircut on board was great. Nothing quite beats the feeling of a fresh cut.

Dinner, while tasty, was noticeable with some of the cutbacks from when we cruised with Kuna before.

As the cruise progressed, I have to admit I did feel quite lonely. I much prefer cruising with Justin and friends, too.

The final day of the cruise, I spent relaxing on board. And while I enjoyed the peace and quiet, I was definitely ready to head home.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a haircut onboard for a relaxing experience, but be aware it's not cheap.
