Creator's Key Takeaways

The only channel that's been on 250 plus cruises.

I was pleasantly surprised by Oceanana's enhanced production value since Vista's lackluster offerings.

The singular closet is the only thing that is surprisingly small compared to the rest.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty restaurants ahead of time even though they are included.
Try the new Nikke menu items at Red Ginger.
Use the pass-through corridors to avoid congestion when moving between venues.
Book through Fairy Godmother Travel for free trip planning.
