Creator's Key Takeaways

Is a mega ship this size a dream holiday or a logistical nightmare?

The variety is there, but the execution often felt a little hit or miss.

The space is just simply inadequate for a ship with 6,000-plus passengers.

It is a visually striking mega ship that offers good affordable value compared to its American competitors.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Head towards the back of the buffet to find a hidden, quieter sanctuary.
โœ“Book specialty dining and theater shows as early as possible.
โœ“Buy a fun pass for the arcade to make simulators and bowling cheaper.
โœ“If unhappy with dining sitting times, speak to the maรฎtre d' on the first night.
