Creator's Key Takeaways
we did find that you know you had more alcohol in the tiramisu or the stakes were a lot better at Cagney's for example and there was good value in going to those more expensive restaurants
the Broadway shows are amazing but remember there are some entertainment that is adult only some of the comedian's or magicians and so forth can be adults only and not family-friendly
we bid $100 to upgrade our balcony to a spa balcony room and it was accepted so it was only a hundred dollars Canadian each for the whole trip and we had access to that thermal spa
the internet onboard is slow a lot of people do have that free-for-all package which does also include some amounts of internet and just to let you know it was slow it was very intermittent
