Creator's Key Takeaways

This is definitely not what I expected, but it's actually really nice. So, h I'm not really I'm not complaining.

I'm very happy with this.

The captain was really clear. He did talk to us earlier and he said that we would skirt any cyclones.

We've been incredibly lucky given the number of cyclones currently active in the area.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always remember when you go on a cruise that your ports of call are defined also by the weather.
✓Check out the mashed potato and the lobster mac and cheese for a good meal.
