Creator's Key Takeaways

we read tons of comments about how small the venues are and how tricky it can be to snag a seat especially during peak times

the theater only seats just under 900 guests which is quite limited for a ship carrying upwards of 5,200 passengers

drinks made by Rob come with an extra charge even if you purchased the drinks package a bit of a let down

the Savannah Aqua Park during our cruise we were pleasantly surprised by how much Nick enjoyed it having never been down a water slide before he couldn't get enough

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early to secure seats at the Virtuosa Bar for live music and dancing
Visit L'Atelier lounge for a quieter atmosphere and better seating availability
Use the organized queueing system at the Atmosphere Ice Cream Bar for faster drink service
