Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a repositioning cruise. We are starting in New York, going to Bermuda overnight, and then we're going to end up in San Juan.

The experience has surpassed all of our expectations.

The service has been so good. Incredible. We're spoiled.

We definitely didn't know what to expect going on a luxury cruise line, especially one with 110 people, but our expectations have been so exceeded.

Missing extras from larger cruise ships (e.g., water slides, variety of food, making friends)We're not really missing any of that. This is totally different but definitely not in a bad way.
Hard to make friends on a small ship with only 110 peopleWe do have a nice group, and people are so friendly.
