Creator's Key Takeaways
Because it's an older ship, it's smaller than the new mega ships, but still has that carnival charm.
I recommend going to the steakhouse at least once. We've never been disappointed. It's always a great experience and delicious food.
The Alchemy Bar is always a very, very popular spot. The bartenders make amazing drinks.
Some of the best burgers at sea. The Star of the Sea smash burgers at base camp may give it a run for its money, but they're pretty good.
