Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on a four night cruise and there's been three different parties and it's been pretty good

I did not care for these small chaos buffet that was a pretty wild anytime you want to go in for breakfast it was just a nightmare

I would say it's more about the destination than the ship itself so if this is going really cool places that you want to visit I would recommend that

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the La Casina for extra seating during buffet times for a more peaceful experience
βœ“Book cruises on board for better deals
