Creator's Key Takeaways
The reason why the phone is better than any other camera is um even in the Arctic Circle, you cannot see the northern lights with the naked eye.
I was overpacked for some things and underpacked for others. I was dying. I literally I was overheated, sweating, dying, and then I'd be cold.
The staff is absolutely wonderful. This was some of the best quality of staff we had on any ship anywhere.
Princess's uh buffet. Not so good. It's lackluster at best. It's lackluster and very very small.
