Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it might be better than the Edgeclass.

This is better designed than the Edgeclass. It's just absolutely beautifully designed.

I would go back on the summit in a heartbeat.

The lesson is in my opinion... you can get all of those things in steerage for free.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an ocean view cabin after guest services on deck three for a 7-foot floor-to-ceiling window.
Consider older Millennium class ships for better value and classic cruising experience.
Don't pay extra for the retreat; you can get similar service in standard cabins.
